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]

Running Time: approx. 74 min. Production Date: 6 / 7 / 2000 Director: Michael Raven Cast: Asia Carrera, Sydnee Steele, Gina Lynn, Ava Vincent, Isabella Camille, Shayla Summers, Alec Metro, Pat Myne, Dillion Day, Evan Stone, Devan Sapphire, and Mike Horner Initial Expectations: With Michael Ravens creativity, Im not sure what to expect, but Im almost certain itll be good. Initial Reaction: Its very different from most adult films you might watch, but has some great sex. Who Should Watch It : Anybody who doesnt want extreme or nasty sex, but does want something very unique and with a dark edge Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who thinks couples sex has to be boring and tame Audio /Video Quality: The audio is very clear and well balanced through most of the movie, but the final scene is a little off balance in a couple places. The video appears a little off, but its consistent enough to appear to be on purpose. The proportions are off on everything, so that everything looks a little stretched out. [read the full review]

Running Time: approx. 78 min. Production Date: 12 / 13 / 1999 Director: Michael Raven Cast: Katja Kean, Devinn Lane, Sydnee Steele, Cassidey (listed here as Paisley Adams), Dayton Raines, Gia, Shay Sweet, Mark Davis, Chris Cannon, Eric Price, Earl Slate, Pat Myne, and Mike Horner Initial Expectations: Michael Raven is one of my favorite directors, so I always look forward to his movies with high expectations. Initial Reaction: Just put the DVD back on the shelf and nobody has to get hurt. Who Should Watch It : Fans of features such as Secrets and Whispers, anybody looking for a lot of sex with a minimum of plot, and anybody who enjoys well done art direction Who Should Avoid It: Anybody looking for a lot of plot with their porn, who thinks an ideal porn set is a bed, or who wants to see how nasty a scene can get Audio /Video Quality: Michael Raven normally shoots on film, which normally means the video is a bit grainy. Im not sure if he used film or not, but if so, Sin City did a great job with it since theres very little grain. [read the full review]
