Directed by: Patrick Collins
Review brief: Running Time: 93 min. Production Date: 8 / 24 / 2002 Director: Patrick Collins Cast: Layla Jade, Michele Raven, Patricie, Sara, Nikki, Pamela Killmen, Katerina Anderson, Pavla, Suzie, Sarah, Trixy, Karmen, Gabriella, and Claudia Atkins Initial Expectations: The little Ive heard of this one hasnt been too good, but with the cast I still have some decent expectations. Initial Reaction: Its more of a train wreck than anything. Who Should Watch It : Extreme fans of all girl action Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who wants a little variety with their all girl action Audio /Video Quality: The audio is okay, but there are some noticeable changes in the balance during some of the scenes. Theres background noises, and their balance with the rest of the audio sometimes changes instantaneously. The video is okay, and the lighting is pretty even, but there are a few problems. The most noticeable problem is that the clarity isnt continuous right out to the edge of the screen.

Review brief: Running Time: 96 min. Production Date: 08 / 2000 Director: Nic Cramer Cast: Gauge, Heather Lyn, Kelli Sparks, T. J. Hart, Alex Sanders, John Decker, Jay Ashley, Jason McCain, and Mojo Initial Expectations: Nic Cramer has been pretty hit or miss with me, and I dont see much to make me expect a hit here. Initial Reaction: The sex is pretty good, but the movies brought down by trying to mash a plot into it. Who Should Watch It : Anybody who wants a fairly artistic movie with an anal emphasis Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who wants heavy art direction, nasty anal sex, or anything close to resembling a plot Audio /Video Quality: The audio is pretty clear and well balanced, although there is a bit of dubbing. The video, as usual with Nic Cramers features, looks a little odd. Colors such as green and red (making me think Christmas is one of Mr.

Im expecting this to be another one. Initial Reaction: Im a little nervous about sitting down, and I only watched it! Who Should Watch It : Anal sex fans Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who thinks women only need one hole for sex or who want perfect camera angles all the time Audio /Video Quality: The feature is shot in a club atmosphere, and as usual when things are shot in this kind of atmosphere, the audio quality suffers a little. The audio level changes from time to time, and the balance isnt the best. The video is surprisingly good, with decent lighting and almost no sign of grain.

Directed by: Kris Kramski
Review brief: Running Time: 72 min. Production Date: 1 / 15 / 2001 Director: Kris Kramski Cast: Not listed Initial Expectations: Ive heard great things about Kramskis work, and am going in with pretty high expectations. Initial Reaction: Mixed. Its very artistic, which is great but sometimes interferes with the heat. I definitely enjoyed it, but its not always good wanking material. Who Should Watch It : Fans of extremely artistic porn Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who wants straight ahead people fucking Audio /Video Quality: The artistic feel of the movie is greatly helped by the technical aspects. The audio is clear, but frequently dubbed. Although this is often a huge pet peeve of mine, it works here. The video is presented in non-anamorphic widescreen and appears to be shot on film. If not, Kramski really knows how to use his filters to make video look like film. It has some slight grain, but is normally well lit. Music: The music has a heavy dance beat and really drives the feature well.

Directed by: Scotty Fox
Review brief: Running Time: 69 min. Production Date: 1990 Director: Scotty Fox Cast: Danielle Rogers, Sheri Taylor, Alice Springs, Lynn LeMay, Randy Spears, Tomy Byron, and Peter North Initial Expectations: Early nineties porn often leaves a lot to be desired for me, but with Danielle and Randy here Im willing to give it a chance. Initial Reaction: This one night stand should have been put to bed much earlier. Who Should Watch It : Extreme fans of the cast Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting good technical aspects or a lot of hot sex Audio /Video Quality: The audio has a decent balance, but theres a loud hum in the background at some points. The video has a fair amount of grain and lousy lighting. It looks pretty close to a second generation VHS copy. Music: Its the typical loud and cheesy music that made porn in the early nineties so easy to make fun of. Menus: The main menu has a small clip of the movie. There is no chapter menu, which makes the DVD feel really cheap. The Feature: Randy Spears is having a mid-life crisis.

Boy, John Decker, and Jim Enright in a non-sex role Initial Expectations: Part of me is a little nervous about this one, but another is really looking forward to it after looking at the female cast. Initial Reaction: Its pretty good, but the music holds it back a lot. Who Should Watch It : Anybody looking for a porno without any anal sex Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting to hear the action in the sex scenes Audio /Video Quality: The audio doesnt seem to be balanced to bad, but the music is so loud that you cant really tell. The video has some very slight grain and theres a couple flashes of remnants, but thats about the only complaint I can have about it. Its nicely lit and the few shadows that are there feel completely natural. Music: The audio has a harder edge to it, and is way too loud.

Who Should Watch It : Anybody looking for well done gonzo or interracial sex Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting something to introduce that special somebody to porn Audio /Video Quality: The audio is clear and well balanced in the scenes, but the level occasionally seemed to change between scenes. The video has a few spots that seemed slightly out of focus, but had more problems with natural light bleaching out some of the colors.

The video doesnt hide its age quite as well, and looks about as good as Id imagine the original VHS did. Its well lit, but its a little fuzzy, has a few remnants, and theres a slightly off-colored line along the left edge of the screen. Its not great, but for a movie thats over ten years old, it isnt anything to complain about. Music: The music varies a fair amount, and is normally well balanced with the rest of the audio.

Who Should Watch It : Its a MUST for any fan of Kylie Ireland Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who doesnt like Kylie Ireland or who wants something other than pure whacking material Audio /Video Quality: The audio is extremely clear and doesnt even have the hint of a background noise. The video is a little soft, but works here. The softness doesnt draw away from the feature at all, and in fact, might enhance it a little by making it look a little artistic with a photo spread type feel. Its well lit throughout the entire feature, but there is a bit of change between the two angles.

Production Date: 4 / 11 / 2002 Director: Nicholas Steele Cast: Jenna Haze, Nici Sterling, Layla Jade, Sophie Evans, Alex Foxe, Krystal Steal, Tiffany Mason, Randy Spears, Evan Stone, Ian Daniels, Colt Steele, and Tony Ribas Initial Expectations: Something about this one really interests me. Im not sure what it is, but its enough that Im really looking forward to it. Initial Reaction: It left a very good taste in my mouth. Who Should Watch It : Anybody wanting period style sex with lower lighting Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting highly lit scenes Audio /Video Quality: The audio is clear, with the non-sex portions having nicely done voice-overs and the sex scenes normally having the audio synching well with the video. There are a few areas that are dubbed, but the majority isnt. The video is nicely presented in anamorphic widescreen. It has a slightly soft feel, and every now and then a remnant flashes past.

Studio: VCA
Starring: Omar Williams
Directed by: Omar Williams
Review brief: Running Time: 83 min. Production Date: 02 / 2001 Director: Omar Wilson Cast: Laura, Lee, Leann, Crystal, Red, Devon, Casey Rose, Tony de Sergio, Big Omar (of course), and Bert in a non-sex role Initial Expectations: Something about this one really interests me. Im not sure what it is, but its enough that Im really looking forward to it. Initial Reaction: As usual with Omar it has a great feel and is a lot of fun, but it isnt quite up to the same level as some of his other movies. Who Should Watch It : Anybody who wants sex with people who feel real and look like they enjoy what theyre doing Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who wants a lot of silicon or who doesnt want inter-racial sex Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects are pretty normal for gonzo porn. The audio is often a little off balance, and theres a fair amount of camera shakes, soft focus blurs, and shadows. That said, most of the audio is pretty clear, although there is a bit of the dialogue that gets lost. Theres also a bit of grain throughout the feature.
