Review brief: The Little Details Running Time: 79 min. Production Date: 12 / 12 / 2001 Director: None credited Cast: Lena Ramon, Gina Delvaux, Mia Domore, and Mr. 18 Inches The Short Story Initial Expectations: Gentlemans DVDs havent impressed me much, but dangit, this ones got Lena Ramon so I cant help but give it a chance! Initial Reaction: Its another dud. Who Should Watch It : Anybody who only cares about seeing a big black dick Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting good sex, good technical aspects, or a big black dick that can get hard and cum The Technical Stuff Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects leave plenty to be desired. The audio is fairly well balanced, but there are a few minor background noises throughout the movie. The video is not nearly as good. To start with, theres small black bars on the top and bottom of the screen that make the presentation look more like it wasnt treated right than it being some odd widescreen aspect ratio.

Review brief: The Little Details Running Time: 62 min. Production Date: 10 / 30 / 2004 Director: Elisabeth Starr Cast: Layla Jade, Jackie Moore, Jessica Sexin, and of course, Veronica Snow as Nurse Lick The Short Story Initial Expectations: This has been a decent series. I have a bit of hope here. Initial Reaction: Its okay, but not the best Ive seen from Nurse Lick. The DVD as a whole, however, is greatly improved from the Mother Production days! Who Should Watch It : Fans of all girl porn with a medical theme Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting nastier all girl action The Technical Stuff Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects are okay. The audio is pretty well balanced. It has a bit of a hiss in the background now and then and sometimes seems a little soft. The video is pretty good as well. It has a slightly soft feeling, but is nicely lit. Theres a few autofocus blurs, but thats about it for camera problems.

Review brief: The Little Details Running Time: 58 min. Production Date: 3 / 15 / 2004 Director: None credited Cast: Tall Goddess, Annie Body, Kat Kleevage, and Elizabeth Starr The Short Story Initial Expectations: Starr Productions has been very hit or miss. Im not sure what to expect here. Initial Reaction: Its okay. Who Should Watch It : Smoke fetishists Who Should Avoid It: Smoke Nazis The Technical Stuff Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects are pretty good. The audio starts out being limited to music, so you dont have to worry about things like balance and background noises, but then lets you hear the performers. This gives things a very heavy handed feel that actually interfered with the movie a bit for me. The video is pretty well done. Theres barely a hint of grain, and the lighting is just a little on the high side. This actually worked pretty well here as it gave the movie a slightly more artistic look.

Directed by: Jordan Septo
Review brief: The Little Details Running Time: 98 min. (the cover states 6 Girls; Over 2 Hours. Since this appears to refer to the movie rather than a full running time and the difference is enough for one entire scene, Im deducting a full point from the overall score.)

Im looking forward to this one. Initial Reaction: Its all over the place, but does have some good sex. Who Should Watch It : Fans of all black sex Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting a lot of anal The Technical Stuff Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects are pretty good. The audio is well balanced and clear, but there are a few background noises.

Production Date: 08 / 2003 Director: Marie Madison Cast: Marie Madison, Kelley Preston, Mona Lisa, Tina Carpenter, Nadia Lynn, Sophia Collins (Extras), Chris Michaels, Eric Thomas, Mark Audess, and Victor Mancini The Short Story Initial Expectations: Ive been quite impressed with what Ive seen from Marie Madison. Im looking forward to this one. Initial Reaction: Its a bit of a roller coaster ride, but it has some nice peaks and rarely drops below the average mark. Who Should Watch It : Anybody wanting anal where its obvious the girls are enjoying themselves Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting nastier anal The Technical Stuff Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects are okay. The audio is normally clear and well balanced, but there are a few background noises that did interfere with the action for me. Kelly Prestons scene is easily the worst, as you can hear the fans going as well as see them blow her hair around. The video is also a bit of a mixed bag.

Studio: Platinum Media
Starring: Mandi Michaels
Review brief: NOTE: This is an amateur video. Amateur and homemade movies dont have the budget nor the resources of studio porn, and therefore rarely get close to the same quality technically. Im rating this DVD on the same scale, but most homemade or amateur features would rarely make it above a 3 on the standard scale I use for studio porn for their technical aspects. The performers also arent normally the glamour stars one expects from studio porn, and instead use people who look like somebody you might encounter in your day to day life. Finally, the camera work has a different feel, as its often shot from a tripod or with somebody who doesnt have the technical training or experience of professional cameramen. That said, amateur and homemade features have a great charm to them, simple because the people in them are doing what theyre doing to have fun and because they enjoy it.

Review brief: The Little Details Running Time: 57 min. Production Date: 2 / 2005 Director: Master Rick Savage Cast: Bunny and Master Rick Savage The Short Story Initial Expectations: Bondage movies are very hit or miss for me. Im not really sure what to expect here. Initial Reaction: Its one of the best bondage movies Ive seen in quite a while. Who Should Watch It : Bondage fans Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting to see people in pain they dont enjoy The Technical Stuff Audio /Video Quality: Bondage movies are well known for their poor technical aspects. Thankfully, Girls of Pain 4 isnt that bad. The audio is easily the worst part, which is clear but very poorly balanced at times. Theres also a few background noises, but theyre fairly minor. The video is nicely done. Its nicely lit and theres very little grain to hold the movie back, unlike most bondage releases. Music: None Menus: The main menu is nicely done and does a great job of working a few clips from the movie together.

Most of the movie is nicely balanced and free of background noises. There are a few areas which are a bit hollow due to the surroundings, but the biggest problem is the start of Queenies scene where the audio synchs with the video about as much as it does with the English version of Godzilla movies.

The witching hour and midnight means it has to be dark. Putting together the dark and Roy Karch seems like a great combination because its rare that his movies dont tempt me with sleep. The only thing that gives me hope here is that Im kind of in a Halloween-ish mood and this sounds like that type of movie. Initial Reaction: Its not really anything like the cover makes it sound like it is, has uninspired direction, writing, and editing, and every sex scene was held back. Yep, its another Roy Karch mishap.

Cheek Freaks comes in a Super King jewel case and the cover has a comic book styled look that made the package remind me of those super cool old comics that you always dreamed of having as a kid (or college student or even as a grownup) that was packaged super tight at the comic store and displayed up on the wall. Yeah, Im a geek, but I cant remember the last time I saw a DVD package come out looking this cool. Okay, yes I can.
