42nd Street Forever: The Peep Show Collection 20 review summaries:
Flash's
42nd Street Forever: The Peep Show Collection Volume 20 is the latest collection of 8mm loops to be released by Impulse Pictures. As is their modus operandi for their loop compilations, Impulse Pictures has included 15 loops on the release broken into the three categories of boy/girl, three or more, and lesbian. The vintage of the loops ranges from the very early 70s through the mid-80s which is roughly the span of when hardcore loops were produced. The quality of the loops, both in visual and in actual production values, obviously varies from loop to loop. Impulse Pictures has done a nice job with this release. For collectors of the old hardcore 8mm loops, 42nd Street Forever: The Peep Show Collection Volume 20 is a nice addition to your collection. [read the full review]

Pretty Peaches (Vinegar Syndrome) review summaries:
fu_q's
Finding herself strangely (and a bit drunkenly) unsettled by her father's (John Leslie's) marriage to a younger woman in Virginia City, Desiree Cousteau (as "Peaches") races off down a canyon in her jeep, only to veer off of the road and crash...leaving her with a bad case of amnesia and a lost identity. Of course, it's just her luck that two low-life characters find her, steal her transportation, and exploit her for their own ugly purposes...setting off a cascade of difficult events for the young Desi that only seem to go from bad to worse. Such is the case in "Pretty Peaches", an exceptional, 1978 release from director Alex DeRenzy which has been remastered exceptionally well by Vinegar Syndrome. [read the full review]

The fine folks at Vinegar Syndrome have cleaned up and re-released Alex DeRenzy's PRETTY PEACHES (1978) with the original 91 minute 35mm film intact and looking better than ever in all its wide screen glory. Bouncy and bubbly Desiree Cousteau plays Peaches, who takes a knock on the head then wanders about not knowing who she is, which is a recipe for horn dogs and other assorted sleaze bags to take advantage of her. No condoms but plenty of wacky dialog accompanying the sexual shenanigans in this xxx comedy concoction. [read the full review]

Pretty Peaches (Blu-ray) (Vinegar Syndrome) review summaries:

Pretty Peaches is a dark comedy that is done within the adult medium. The story is interesting and the film was well made. The limited edition Blu-ray/DVD combo pack that Vinegar Syndrome has released is absolutely amazing and should be a must buy for any fans of the film. [read the full review]

Desiree Cousteau Triple Feature (GAM) review summaries:
Flash's
Golden Age Media's release of the Desiree Cousteau Triple Feature contains the films Getting Off, Pretty Peaches, and Summer in Heat. Getting Off is a rather standard loop carrier by Ed DePriest, and Pretty Peaches is an enjoyable feature by Alex de Renzy, and Summer in Heat is an enjoyable film from Christy McCabe. Whether the Desiree Cousteau Triple Feature is right for you depends on what film(s) you are interested in from the three film collection. All three films appear to be sourced from 3/4 video masters. Getting Off has decent video quality but problematic audio quality, Pretty Peaches has poor video and audio quality, and Summer in Heat has decent video and audio quality. [read the full review]

Intimate Illusions review summaries:
fu_q's
It's high-speed, crash-'em-up car chases, illegal activity, and plenty of hot fucking when an innocent bystander, Phaedra Grant, incidentally encounters both the "West Side Rapist", Jon Martin, and a cooler-than-you cop, John Leslie, in "Intimate Illusions" (a.k.a. "Boiling Point"). An overall-good, 1978 release from director Paul Levis and the Alpha Blue Archives, this flick starts out for all the world looking like it's going to have an exceptional plot...the car chases, character development, intertwined storylines, etc. ... but then, somewhat randomly, gives it all up midway through and wraps everything with a massive orgy at a disco.

Show Girl Superstars 6: Sue Nero's Fantasies review summaries:
fu_q's
With her classic east coast looks and voluptuous figure, the big-busted adult film industry legend, Susan Nero, shows just exactly why she rose so quickly to early-80s, pornographic prominence in "Show Girl Superstars 6: Sue Nero's Fantasies". A very good release from VCR, this short showcase features the lovely Ms. Nero in all but two of its sequences (both brief) and highlights both her (fictitious) sexual history and her varied sexual charms.

It's all about the horny high-jinks for a trio of volunteers (Cris Cassidy, Amber Hunt, and Nancy Hoffman) at the local hospital and nothing, not even a mean boss whom they've nicknamed "Sarge" (Sharon Thorpe), is going to stand in their way. Such is the case in "Candy Stripers", an exceptional, 1978 release from Bob Chinn and Arrow Productions. [read the full review]

This 1978 golden age classic by Bob Chinn is a lot of good, dirty fun. The set is convincing, and many have thought it was shot in a hospital although it was really shot on a sound stage in San Francisco. The acting is reasonably good, although the plot isn't complicated: a bunch of hospital patients who are more horny than sick, and three candy stripers willing to serve any way they can, including sexually. Many have commented that the women in classic porn are not as good looking as today's crop. Although that is generally true, Amber Hunt, for example, could hold her own even in today's porn biz. Arrow has done an outstanding job restoring sound and picture, and one of the cutest things about this movie is the song that was composed and performed for it. The fact that golden age adult films frequently had a song written specifically for them is one of the things that separates them from the current industry. [read the full review]

NOTE: This is not your typical review. Others have done an excellent job reviewing the content, scenes, performances, etc. of this porn classic. This "review" concerns itself with how the DVD's contents compare with the complete, uncut original release version of the film or an early (before prior self-censorship) VHS version. The Ratings given refer either to the "original" version of the film (Performers, Plot, Sex, etc.) or to the DVD version (Extras, Value, etc.) and are relatively arbitrary. The important info is that which follows. CANDY STRIPERS ALL THERE Bob Chinns 1978 classic, Candy Stripers has been brought to DVD by Arrow Films, who has done a great job of restoring the film as well as giving us ALL of it (sort of). For those who havent heard, there are two infamous scenes in the film (both involving fisting) that have long been cut out for fear of the dreaded porn police. Both scenes are present on the DVD, but not in their original positions in the complete film, which remains edited in this presentation. [read the full review]
