This is an above average release that doesn't seem to live up to its potential. The story is light, and at barely and hour and twenty minutes the entire movie seemed like it could have used a little more all around. There are some very nice performances from Stormy Daniels, Eric Masterson, and Kaylani Lei, but strangely Stormy and Eric turned out the weakest scene in the movie with barely any chemistry between them. The technical aspects show some nice care, including the special effects with a miniature Kaylani, and the extras showed a little effort as well. This isn't a bad movie, but it didn't come close to my expectations due to the players involved. [read the full review]

Here we have a fairy tale come to life, sorta. Jack and Jill aka Eric Masterson & Stormy Daniels have moved into a new house but they don't know their garden in the backyard holds a real garden fairy- Kaylani Lei who begins working her magic on Eric shortly after they move in. This mistakenly leads Stormy to think he's having an affair with their sexy next door neighbor, Janet Mason who is very much a swinger. A fun story and you should enjoy watching it play out. Stormy's got two scenes, one with Eric and the other a very nice running outdoor shower scene with Janet. Kaylani might be a fairy but she's able to get human size for her tryst with Eric near the end and you won't want to miss Stormy in her pink fairy suit, that's all I'm saying on that!

Writer's Block (Wicked) review summaries:
Linus'
Writer's Block Initial Thoughts: There has been a serious lack of good features in recent times, not all that many studios ever got adult features down to begin with, but even the ones that did have been hit or miss in my experiences, however, Wicked seems to be one of the ones heading back in the right direction, and after seeing this one, I'm very optimistic of the feature future. This is an excellent disc, and a very good movie, and it doesn't suprise me coming from Jonathan Morgan. The sex nicely supports the movie, and vice versa. I have been watching a lot of all sex titles lately, and it is really nice to see a disc where the cast has all been around a while and past the legal drinking age. The 19 year olds are great, don't get me wrong, and Kelly Kline is not much past that, but most of the cast has some good experience in both acting and screwing on camera, and that really helps to put together a film that has a "worth watching" story, and some hot sex in it. Julia Ann still looks just incredibly good, and she can throw down a line or two too. [read the full review]

Running Time: 104 min. Production Date: 12 / 30 / 2001 Director: Michael Raven Cast: Sydnee Steele, Brad Armstrong, Keri Windsor, Sunrise Adams, Violet Blue, Lezley Zen, Avy Scott, Randy Spears, Cheyne Collins, and Dillion Day, in sexual roles and Jonathan Morgan, Anthony Skordi, Jezebelle Bond, T. J. Hart, Chennin Blanc, Summer Storm, David Crawford, and many more in non-sex roles Initial Expectations: In my opinion, Michael Raven is one of the best directors out there, if not the best. Combining him with Wicked and a cast like this should be one heck of a winning combination. Initial Reaction: As usual with Michael Raven, its damn good. Its also one of the best DVDs Ive seen all year. Who Should Watch It : Couples and anybody wanting plot and good acting with their porn Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting a lot of nastier sex Audio /Video Quality: The audio is clear and well balanced without even a hint of a background noise. The video is nicely presented in the widescreen format, but unfortunately isnt in anamorphic widescreen. [read the full review]

Heroin is a highly recommended film from Michael Raven that is sure to please viewers who like plot based adult erotica and tame sex. Despite the problems with the transfer, this disc is definitely one to pick up for your collection. Viewers who hate a plot and viewers who require nasty or degrading sex acts will probably not enjoy this film to its fullest potential. [read the full review]

Hell House review summaries:
fu_q's
It's murder, mayhem, and mating when a group of horny, wannabe ghost hunters breaks into a haunted asylum in "Hell House", an overall-good production from Sin City. Offering up a nice blend of horror, thrills, and fucking, this 2001 flick delivers enough flesh, plot, and action to maintain the viewer's interest from start to finish. [read the full review]

Looker 2: Femme Fatale review summaries:
astroknight's
Running Time: 112 min. Production Date: November 1999 Director: Nic Cramer (who also wrote the story) Cast: Gwen Summers, Shanna McCullough, Lauren Montgomery, Silvia Saint, Melody Love, Bridgett Kerkove, Kristen, Ilanna Moore, Randy Spears, Mickey G., Vince Voyeur, Alec Metro, Kyle Stone, Jon Dough, Nick East, Pat Myne, and Michael Raven Initial Expectations: After watching the original Looker , I have fairly high hopes. Initial Reaction: Not nearly as good as the original. Audio /Video Quality: As with most of Mr. Cramers movies, Looker 2 is shot on film. Although normally this means the video lacks quite a bit, its not that noticeable here. There is some grain, but its just enough that you notice the grain. There are also many dark scenes, which dont have any more grain than the rest of the movie. For a shot on film movie, the video quality is excellent. The audio quality is also good, but not as good as the video. [read the full review]

DeathIncarnate's
Starring : Eric Price, Herschel Savage, Tyce Buné, Chris Cannon, Alexa Rae, Inari Vachs, Cheyenne Silver, Lauren Montgomery et al. Director/Producer/Screenwriter : Nic Cramer Running Time : 90 minutes Story Synopsis : The whole film is set in the near future, where it is possible to record one's experiences on disc due to a grid you place over your head. If you've seen the mainstream film 'Strange Days' (actually, one of my favourite sci-fi flicks) you more or less know what's going on. For the uninitiated, Nic Cramer is a director who obviously thinks he can reunite the combined talents of Stanley Kubrick, James Cameron and Coppola in his work (Actually, his films all suck but that's just my opinion), and thus bringing us a steady stream of Hollywood rip-offs such as 'Penetrator 2: Grudge Day' or 'Clockwork Orgy', a preview of which is on the DVD. In this one, Eric Price plays a hustler who deals with the 'trigger' discs (for that's what they are called) who are in fact illegal. [read the full review]
