Virgin Patrol review summaries:
Tongue in Groove's
Virgin Patrol is a new compilation from Metro Interactive. Most of the ten scenes are snipped from previously-released Metro features released earlier this decade. Some of my favorite performers are featured here, including Tawny Roberts, Ashley Blue, Danni Slam, and Audrey Leigh. All these scenes range from tepid to volcanic. Theres really not a bad scene in the bunch. Since most of the original features have been reviewed elsewhere on the Internet, what follows is a scene breakdown, including the original titles. Jennifer Luv and Alex Sanders (Finally Legal #10) Ashley Blue and Trent Tesoro (unknown) Tawny Roberts and Rick y (Wild Cherries #1) Danni Slam and Pat Myne (unknown) Simone Claire and Rafe (Anal Excursion #1) Tabitha Blue and Jay Ashley (Finally Legal #7) Vanessa Rubec and Pat Myne (Runaway Teens) Olivia Saint and Mark Ashley (Teen Patrol #1) Paris and Pat Myne (Teen Spirit) Audrey Leigh (Juliana Kincaid) and Mark Ashley (Teen Patrol #2) All in all, this is a good title for both strokers and couples.

Stockings.. Initial Reaction: It's a pretty hot compilation! Who Should Watch It : Fans of girls in stockings Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting all soft and cuddly sex without any group or anal action The Technical Stuff Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects are pretty well done. The audio is clear and well balanced for the most part, but there are a few background noises. The video varies a bit more, as there are a few slightly artistic scenes with some stylized video as well as one with some very low lighting. [read the full review]

L.E.G.S. is an acronym for Love Every Girl in Stockings, so you can imagine what the theme of this Adam & Eve compilation might be. Of courseevery one of the 14 girls here is wearing some form of hosiery, which is not a bad thing. What is unfortunate is the lack of heat in most of the scenes. This is a couples friendly comp, which means most raincoaters should stay clear. [read the full review]

Director: Various Camera: Various Genre: Compilation, Stocking fetish Release: 4/05 Notes: Widescreen in Scene 5, 6 Condoms in Scene 5, 6, 8, 10 Time: 2 hrs 53 min + 16 min Bonus L.E.G.S. is a clever acronym for "Love Every Girl in Stockings." Each scene features stockings- to avoid redundancy I won't list "stockings" in the fetish listings. act 1: Ariana Jollee vs. Joey Ray Anal, Facial, swallow OVERALL SCORE: 2.25 Scene Highlights: Dolled up in a green corsette, Ariana diddles herself until Joey enters. He fucks her pussy a bit before moving into a hungry 69. Then he plunges deep into her ass and she bucks on him in reverse anal cowgirl. For the finish, Ariana jerks him off into her mouth and she slurps up the spilt spunk from his abdomen. Some kissing caps it off. Commentary: An average scene. The sex seemed bland and very sterile.

Kinky Sex Sampler review summaries:
J.R.'s
This is one fine comp DVD. Adam & Eve can put out some nice DVDs when they want to, and this one is at the top of the list, not just from them, but of comps that I have seen. All the fucking in this DVD is top-notch, and there is not a slow scene in any of it. Every couple or group has excellent chemistry with each other, and genuinely get off because of it. But as great as this DVD is, there is one scene that is a classic, IMHO. The very first scene, with Amber Lynn and Evan Stone, is so hot that I could not almost believe it. The chemistry between this two performers will have you glued to your tv set. Evan eats Ambers pussy so good, he might just get marriage proposals from female fans out there after they see this, and Im not the biggest ES fan. He also fingers her snatch and rubs her clit furiously, and it must have gotten so good to her that she did something I have not seen in all the scenes I have seen her in. Maybe someone else has seen it, but until now, it has gone unnoticed by yours truly. He fingers her, and rubs her clit, and then she......squirts! Thats right. [read the full review]

These guys need to change there name from Adam & Eve, to Adam and C. The C would stand for compilation. I live in Seattle, and people from out of town ask how I deal with the rain. I tell them that it rains more in Vancouver Canada to the north, and Portland to the south, so ask them. That being said, they should ask Adam & Eve cause theyre causing a flood of biblical proportions. One thing I will say is that Adam & Eve has such a robust catalog that not only are there compilation welcome, but good. I like most of the women in this title and once again I am surprised that I havent seen these scenes somewhere else. Sure, a couple come from the Amateur Angels line but 95 of these scene were new to me. Being an anal fan, this title is solid gold. Some of the girls in this title are Anal Queens, and some of them are doing a rare anal appearance. Some scenes are with condom, and some without, but the heat factor here is high.

Naked Hollywood 21 & 22 review summaries:
MD James'
Title: Naked Hollywood 21&22 Combo Released by: Adam & Eve I dont know about you, but I never really understood why HBOs "Sex in the City" was so popular. I mean, you basically had four women just TALKING about sex and love and relationships in New York City, but showing very little SEX. I mean, come on, were talking HBO! They can show mobsters, strippers, prostitutes, autopsies, crime scene photos, but four lovely women can only TALK about their sex lives? Apparently this reviewer wasnt the only one who felt that way, because the folks at Adam & Eve decided to do their own version of "Sex in the City", but with a few obvious twists. First, move the setting from NY to LA. Second, change the profession of the main character from newspaper columnist to radio talk show host. Third, bring in four of the hottest adult stars you think of to play the four women. And fourth and most importantly, SHOW THE SEX! And thus was started the adult series "Naked Hollywood". And it was good. [read the full review]

RUNTIME: 1 Hour 30 Minutes & 11 Seconds THEMES: Oral, Girl/Girl, Anal, PTM, Toys, Rimming (m/f) EXTRAS: Star Bios, Photo Gallery, Trailers (barbara broadcast 2, trixie, cruel seductions) HOW I RATE: I rate in an un-bias way; meaning I will not let something come in my way of reviewing a film before I see it; I make sure to give every film I review a fair chance! I will try to give a detailed description of the film that way you (the reader) will get a real sense for the film and what it contains. I will g [read the full review]

Kelly the Coed 12: Mommy's Little Monster review summaries:
Flash's
Kelly the Coed 12: Mommy's Little Monster features a new Kelly and a total abandonment of everything that has been done so far in the Kelly the Coed series along with any rooting in reality, not that this series has ever been good at that. The sex scenes aren't bad, but the plot is an insult to the intelligence. Heatwave has done an acceptable job with the release of the movie. [read the full review]

Sweet Hearts (Vivid) review summaries:
RubyRed's
"A Gay Man's Take on Straight Porn" I've been kind of on a Paul Thomas kick lately, so I thought I would check out one of his lesser known titles. Now I know why this is one of his lesser known titles. The Movie: I'm going to keep this pretty short, and not do a scene by scene. All the sex is decent, but if you are a fan of anyone in the cast, then you can probably find better stuff. Everything here is very middle of the road. The plot of the movie is this: Savanna and Dale use to be a big deal porn couple. Savanna has moved on to Lee Stone, and Dale just hasn't moved on. Dale sees the light though when the company they work for says that both of them have to perform in a scene together again, since they both owe the scene for their contracts. So, now Dale is trying to get Savanna back, but there is also Dru, who wants Dale. Who will end up with who? My response to the plot above is... who cares. The plot is really jumpy, and very oddly handled. Everything sounds pretty straight forward, and all the acting is top notch, but the editing is WAY off. [read the full review]

Real Sexxx Letters review summaries:
Tongue in Groove's
Ive enjoyed Purrrfect Videos Real XXX Letters series and mistakenly picked this one up thinking it was the next volume. Oops! Nothing is further from the fact. Real Sexxx Letters is a cheap ripoff of a successful series. The first evidence that this DVD will have problems is to look at the cast list. Any production that includes Rob Rotten can be considered second-rate immediately. This guy is a walking freak show, with tattoos covering his entire body and a spiked Mohawk that is just plain frightening. To try to pass him off as a porn star is an insult to all other porners. He is, quite simply, unwatchable. But I digress. Like Real XXX Letters, this flick employs a voiceover of a girl reading a letter from an alleged porn fan. That can be a strong tool to set up a scene when done properly. Here, it reeks of sophomoric love notes. Crystal Ray starts off the action with John West. Her average looks are ruined by an unsightly tailbone tat. She sports long, blond hair, a lithe body, and natural, medium tits. [read the full review]

Who Should Watch It : Fans of the stars in the movie Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting something special or well done technical aspects The Technical Stuff Audio /Video Quality: The audio is okay. The voice overs are kept at about the same level as the action in the scenes, and I dont think I heard a single background noise. Some of the dialogue in the movie is a bit low, and often left a bit to be desired. The video leaves much more to be desired. Its often a bit dark and has a fair amount of grain and cloudiness as well as a few very noticeable remnants. Its almost like watching a VHS picture. [read the full review]

Strip Club Tails review summaries:
sweet dave's
It's well known that any adult stars begin their careers in the adult industry as dancer. Thus, an adult film in which the actresses are strippers would seem like a good idea; getting some girls in their more natural environment. Unfortunately, Strip Club Tails does not capture that as best as possible, despite a couple of nice performaces. The film starts out real well as Dru Berrymore strips for Axl Hose after hours, then rides him on the small dance floor. Dru is a real blonde cutie, and she's a fine young sex performer as well, and her male pertner almost seems to act decently, fearing that they would be discovered before forgetting everything while inside of Dru. Unfortunately, the next scene is simply odd, which of course is fitting since it stars Herschel Savage. Savage is in the bathroom cleaning up when all of a sudden Lizzie Liques, an otherwise lovely blonde, comes upon him and gives up her lovely body for no real reason. It's a fairly awkward scene, but seemingly typical of Savage's scenes. The third scene is probably the best of film, which isnt saying a lot. [read the full review]

Raw 2: Uncensored (Nasty Pixxx) review summaries:
Sweet Dave's
One of the most informative films Ive seen on the adult industry was Raw 1- Unsensored, and we would only be fortunate if the sequel turned out to be so interesting. The reality is that Raw 2 is quite different from Raw 1, which is very good for those seeking a more stimulating film. Raw 1 showed very little sex, and what was there was often not very stimulating. That is also true of Raw 2, even if it begins very well. Few women have had an impact on the adult industry in such a short period of time as Tera Patrick, whose stunning good look and sharp, witty and intelligent personality puts her ahead of most adult stars by considerable distance. She is a solid star to learn from, even if it is her fire engine scene with Randy Spears thats the most stimulating. The pair ravish one another for quite some time, and with the passion that rivals any of their previous work, unlike much of the dim work of Raw 1. The first scene is spectacular, but it is not alone. [read the full review]

astroknight's
Tremors never struck me as a good movie to base a porno spoof on, but it's done pretty well here. The monster is done with some fun cheesiness and the cast does a very nice job with the non-sex portions. There's some good chemistry, nice energy, and plenty of anal for the sex, but sadly the sex is horribly held back by extremely poor lighting and some poor and choppy editing. Thankfully the audio's decent and there's also some very nice effort put into the extras. This should have been a great movie and DVD, but instead it's just an above average movie on a DVD that shows some very nice effort. [read the full review]

Thankfully the audio's decent and there's also some very nice effort put into the extras. This should have been a great movie and DVD, but instead it's just an above average movie on a DVD that shows some very nice effort. [read the full review]

Fantasy Ltd. review summaries:
lindi's
Description This is a couples' feature. The plot revolves around a couple getting implanted memories of sexual fantasies. General Impression It's unwatchable. I had serious problems staying awake through two of the scenes. Throughout the movie Petra keeps telling her husband that his fantasies are lame, and he keeps saying that hers are. They are both right. Blaring music with a relentless, driving beat drowns out the scenes. The music makes me think of ketchup, gobbed all over everything in the hopes that you won't notice how badly made it is. Sex In the first scene, Petra mostly does the tango with her dance instructor, to music more suitable to a James Bond movie. There's a brief nice shot of her biting through his trousers, then a blowjob that is so chopped in editing that it could have been 30 seconds of footage total. Throughout this movie, the sex scenes are done the same way - a few seconds or a brief flash of bj, a flash of something else out of sequence, an odd or distorted shot, a brief flash of bj from another angle, camera swirl, fast motion, etc. [read the full review]

You can hear a few comments from Skeeter now and then, but it feels more like theyre meant to be there than being poorly edited. The video is clear and well lit, and only shows a little grain.

CAPSULE'S REVIEW Anal Excursions 2 (89 min.) Featuring: Autumn Haze, Ashley Blue, Dynamite, and Juliana Kincaid Synopsis: Skeeter Kerkove's brand new anal-themed series enters its second phase. Overall: The DVD is one of many examples and is one of many reasons why Metro will always be considered a second rate company. It's supposed to be an anal-themed production, but it deviates from that formula with the blowjob only scene with Dynamite. [read the full review]

I'm not sure what audience James Avalon has intended this film for, but anyone who is looking to be aroused by their adult entertainment would be well advised to skip this film. Basically what could have been a great film has been ruined by over use of visual styling that doesn't fit the places that it is used. Die-hard fans of James Avalon may want to see the film but I can't easily recommend this film to any particular audience. If you do want to watch it, I recommend that you rent it instead of buying it. [read the full review]

Initial Reaction: Its pretty, but rarely goes overboard on heat. Who Should Watch It : Anybody looking for light and pretty porn Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting some really serious and dirty fucking Audio /Video Quality: The audio is a bit of a mixed bag. When theres dialogue its very clear and well balanced. During the sex, however, some artistic effects are added, which makes the voices of the performers drop a notch. The video was shot in the high definition widescreen format, and adds quite a bit to the movie. It has a slight bit of grain, and does a very good job of imitating film. [read the full review]

KARMA Metro Feature Starring: Alexa Rae, Sunshine, Jade Marcela, Dee, Leeanna Hart, Violet Blue, Becca Bratt, Joel Lawrence, Mark Wood, Mark Davis, and Rafe. Directed By: Mike Quasar Running Time: Feature: 87 minutes, Total: 130 minutes RATING: 8/10 FEATURE: Overall: This is a feature with something you might call a plot. Each scene is preceded by monologues by Alexa followed by brief stints of acting. This movie is not plot driven, the plot is used to set up the sex, the sex is not used to add to the plot. The movie is basicly about the trials of marriage and the infidelity of the people around the main character. He is an unhappily married man who stays true to his wife and tries to work things out. Everyone else, save Alexa, is two timing their significant others and in the end they all get what's coming to them. Hence the name Karma. Since the plot isn't the focus of the movie and you will probably be fast forwarding through it on repeated viewing, it will have little affect on the final rating. I will instead focus on the sex.

Ok briefly the story is about Cheyenne being neglected at home by Pat Myne [the ugliest man in porn, well one of them] so she goes to a bar and gets her rocks off Scene blow by blow Dru Berrymore and Rafe Hmm Dru looks nothing like her namesake in my opinion, Cheyenne watches and leaves before the money shot Cheyenne leaves her purse behind and returns the next day to watch...

Ok briefly the story is about Cheyenne being neglected at home by Pat Myne [the ugliest man in porn, well one of them] so she goes to a bar and gets her rocks off Scene blow by blow Dru Berrymore and Rafe Hmm Dru looks nothing like her namesake in my opinion, Cheyenne watches and leaves before the money shot Cheyenne leaves her purse behind and returns the next day to watch...

* DIRECTOR: Robby D. * DURATION: ~75mins. * STARRING: Cheyenne Silver, Dru Berrymore, Felicia Fox & Logan LaBrent. Raven is a more recent offering from the new look Vivid. In fact, when I saw the box cover I didnt even realise it was a Vivid film. The studio has also implemented other presentational changes. One thing that struck me right away were the revitalised extras, which still arent anything spectacular (decent photo gallery, too few trailers, unrelated sex scenes, extra cast clips as well as a Vivid Girl facials segment) but are welcome relief to the previous arrangement. Hopefully Vivid are taking consumer input onboard. The sex in the film also seemed slightly harder than in past Vivid features. Im not sure if that increases or decreases couples appeal, but Raven has a marginally less vanilla flavour than I expected. Also worth noting is that the scenes arent disrupted by the new angle indicator, which has shrunk considerably and appears only briefly. [read the full review]

On the Prowl 4 (Erotic Angel) review summaries:
Ms Christine and JC's
Commentary: Its baaaak The red Prowler that takes life to a new dimension for those lucky enough to drive it and provides for fantasies beyond imagination. Cum for a ride in the drop-top that makes its drivers do naughty things. The On the Prowl series is special to us since our first review ever, was On the Prowl One with Farrah and Shay Sweet. Cash Markman always comes up with a story line that keeps you guessing until the end. This installment was clearly shot at a Halloween Haunted House which adds to the scripting. Each lady went out for a ride and ended up getting down and dirty. Fans of all types will enjoy this film with plenty of boy-girl, one girl-girl and a sprinkling of backdoor action. It is always nice to see your favorites in action, but there were some newcomers for us as well. Dominica Leoni and Wanda Curtis are two nice imports with plenty to offer. Unfortunately for both the decided to get overbearing tattoos on their arms. Sometime too much is gaudy. [read the full review]

This is a pretty generic release. Although the title suggests anal sex or ass worship, neither comes out much in the movie with only Jewel De'Nyle and Holly Landers putting out the ass despite most of the girls in the movie doing it elsewhere long before this movie was made. The technical aspects are pretty average but there's barely any effort put into the extras. This isn't a bad movie, but it just doesn't fit the title and ended up lacking because of it.
