Let My Puppets Come (Blu-ray/DVD) (Vinegar Syndrome) review summaries:
Flash's
Let My Puppets Come is a real oddity in the world of adult film being the first, and only, adult puppet musical movie. The film is an adult puppet show that lampoons the adult film industry, with well-made puppets, extensive musical numbers, and a good heaping of low-brow humor. Let My Puppets Come isn't going to be for everyone in fact, the viewers that will genuinely enjoy the film will be in the minority. For the right viewer, though, Let My Puppets Come is a fun film. Vinegar Syndrome has done an excellent job with their Blu-ray and DVD combo pack with excellent picture and sound quality. [read the full review]

Inside Deep Throat review summaries:
Ryder7's
A documentary exploring the societal impact the adult film known as Deep Throat had on mainstream America. "Deep Throat" was just another X-Rated adult film when it was made in 1972. Finished in six days, for the sum of $25,000, (financed by the mob) the film to date has grossed over $600 Million dollars. Inside Deep Throat makes a decent albeit incomplete attempt at explaining how & why it became so popular. The documentary explores the subject of pornography, and how the U.S. Government under Nixon had a problem with it. It's interesting to note the timeliness of this documentary in light of the current Bush Administrations' recent witchhunting pronouncement on an all new "war on porn"... It seems the events of 30 years ago are trying to replay themselves and makes Inside Deep Throat a must see. Deep Throat was made by former hairdresser and acclaimed porn director Gerard Damiano and starred an actress who went by the screen name of Linda Lovelace. [read the full review]

I had high hopes for Inside Deep Throat but the film fell short of what I was hoping for. That isn't to say it is not an enjoyable film to watch, but expect more of an overview of culture in the 70s and the rise of adult films then than a documentary that manages to focus directly on Deep Throat. Fans of films from the Golden Age will probably enjoy this film and viewers who don't understand why some adult movie studios are afraid of going to jail for content in adult films should watch this film as well. I'd recommend giving the film a rental over purchasing it. [read the full review]

The Little Details Running Time: 105 min. Production Date: 12 / 23 - 24 / 2002 and 1 / 13 / 2003 Director: Ron Jeremy Cast: Gianna, Jules Jericho, Ericka Stacks, Lisa Sparxxx, Kandi Cox, Kiki Encina, Jay Crew, Michael Andrews, and Al Goldstien and Ron Jeremy The Short Story Initial Expectations: Something about this scares me. Initial Reaction: Be afraid, be very afraid! Who Should Watch It : Extreme Ron Jeremy fans and anybody who wants almost all fresh faces Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting a lot of Al Goldstein or a very well done movie The Technical Stuff Audio /Video Quality: The audio varies quite a bit throughout the feature. Some areas are nicely done, while some areas have a bit of background noises and yet others appear to have been so plagued by background noises that the music is the only audio. The video isnt quite as bad, but it isnt great either. It has a bit of noticeable grain throughout the feature, and the lighting varies a little throughout the feature as well. [read the full review]

Porn Star: The Legend of Ron Jeremy review summaries:

If you are interested in Ron Jeremy, this is a great film for you to watch as it gives a great insight into who he is. Likewise, if you are interested in the industry, this might also make a good watch for you as well as it gives some insight there as well. Viewers will probably want to rent the film over purchasing it as it may be one you'll never want to watch again. [read the full review]

WADD: The Life And Times Of John C. Holmes review summaries:
Flash's
If you are contemplating whether to buy the limited edition Lion's Gate release of Wonderland for Wadd or the VCA release of Wadd, despite the fact that the VCA version was apparently changed without the director's permission, this is the superior edition. The movie itself is very close to the version that still bears Cass Paley's name, the extras are excellent and this is the best disc from VCA that I have ever seen. If you are looking for masturbation material, this film isn't a great choice. But if you are looking for a film about one of the most legendary adult stars of all time, John C. Holmes that doesn't hold back this is definitely worth picking up. [read the full review]

Running length: 60 min. D.O.P. I couldn't find one, but Al Goldstein is sportin' an afro, if that helps. Writer/Director: Gerard Damiano Female cast: Lynette Sheldon Penny Nichols Male cast Al Goldstein Audio/Video: For as old as it is, which I'm not sure of, it's not bad. There were parts with some piano music, which fit pretty well. Extras: Just a few photos. General comments: I was curious about this one because it featured puppets, and was the only one of its kind. I had heard some disturbing comments about it, but I can't imagine what it was that bothered people about this movie. I thought it was kinda cute. But then, I'm not 100 certain that I'm not some kinda pervert, because this is listed in the 'Fetish' category, too, so there could be something here that I'm missing. Sure, there was the part about about the dog fucking his mistress, but they're dang puppets, for christssakes! It was one of the funniest parts, too, with the dog as a real smooth talker who gets into her shorts. [read the full review]
