Studio: Pandora
Starring: Mariah, Inga, Darian Caine, Tara Indiana, Aiden Starr, Mistress Charlize
Directed by: Tina Tyler
Review brief: Running Time: 67 min. Production Date: 1 / 25 / 2002 Director: Lunar Eclipse (otherwise known as the tantalizing temptress Tina Tyler) Cast: Lolita Lemarchand, Darian Caine, Mistress Tara Indiana, Mariah, Mistress Charlize, and Inga Initial Expectations: Ive been very impressed with everything Ive seen from Pandora so far, and Tina Tyler has been improving with every movie Ive seen from her. The combination should make for the best bondage DVD out there so far. Initial Reaction: Its the best bondage movie Ive seen so far. Who Should Watch It : Anybody at all interested in bondage Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who thinks bondage movies have to be of poor quality Audio /Video Quality: Bondage movies are notorious for having technical qualities rivaled only by what people got trying to get free cable putting tin foil on their TV antennas in the eighties. Thankfully, Pandora is bucking the trend. The audio has a few hollow spots, but that appears to be due to the location where it was shot. The video is also very good.

Directed by: Jim Holliday
Review brief: Running Time: 84 min. Production Date: 1994 Director: The feature says Bionca although the cover says its Jim Hollidays Return of the Cheerleader Nurses, so Im not sure Cast: Tiffany Mynx, Debi Diamond, Kiss, Lacy Rose, Alex Jordan, Bionca, Sharon Kane, Crystal Wilder, Isis Nile, Melanie Moore, Nikki Sinn, Rebecca Bardoux, Shawnee Cates, Stacy Nichols, Randy Spears, Jon Dough, Justin Case, Joey Silvera, Terry Thomas, and Ron Jeremy and Jim Holliday in non-sex roles Initial Expectations: Im not sure if Ive seen a bad Jim Holliday movie, which gives me good hopes here. Initial Reaction: Who Should Watch It : Anybody looking for some hot, fun, and fluffy porn Who Should Avoid It: Anybody looking for the toe-sucking and butt licking of the current Jim Holliday Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects are pretty standard for early nineties porn. The audio is pretty well balanced but is a little muddy at times. The video has some light grain and soft focus problems but is normally well lit.

Review brief: Running Time: 88 min. Production Date: June 2001 Director: Omar Wilson Cast: Big Omar, Leah, Hannah, Free, Chloe, Delphine, Michelle, and Tony (although Im not sure if this is the name of the character or the actor since there arent any real credits) Initial Expectations: This series has really grown on me, and I now look forward to each of Omars features. Initial Reaction: Its another fun installment to the series. Who Should Watch It : Anybody who wants fun porn with fresh faces Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who wants a heavy anal emphasis or nastier sex Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects are pretty standard for gonzo porn. The audio is pretty good, but does have problems with the balance now and then. The video has some very slight grain and is normally well lit, but frequently has soft focus problems and shakes. Music: None. Disc Problems: The description on the back cover seems to be from a different movie since none of the names (outside of Omar and Burts of course) match anything with this feature.

Review brief: Running Time: 80 min. Production Date: 1991 Director: Michael Craig Cast: Ashlyn Gere, Mike Horner, K. C. Williams, Sharon Kane, Steven Drake, Rayne, and Buster Cheri (listed here as Rod Ryker) Initial Expectations: Ashlyn was one of the first porn girls to catch my eye. I always look forward to seeing her. Initial Reaction: The sex is very hot, but the overall movie is a bit flawed. Who Should Watch It : Anybody wanting hot couples sex without much plot and fans of the cast Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting a little nastier sex or a large plot Audio /Video Quality: The audio leaves a bit to be desired. Its often off balance with some of the dialogue dropping low enough to make it difficult to hear. The video is pretty average for early nineties porn. Theres a little grain, quite a few soft focus problems, and the lighting often leaves a bit to be desired.

Initial Reaction: Its okay but the sex is very lopsided. Who Should Watch It : Anybody wanting to watch guys get fucked in the ass Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting to see balanced scenes with guys getting fucked in the ass as well as the woman getting pleasured Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects in the first scene leave much to be desired. Theres a lot of background noise right from the start which definitely interferes with the action. The video is extremely grainy to the point that it makes most home movies from the seventies look professional. The remaining scenes are a little better, but still not quite what Id call average.

Who Should Watch It : Gangbang fans Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who wants a little plot with their gangbang or the woman to be constantly degraded Audio /Video Quality: The audio varies a bit.

Who Should Watch It : Anybody who wants to admire the female form Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting actual sex Audio /Video Quality: The intro to each scene is very clear, but the music is the only audio in each scene. The video is very clear throughout the entire feature, although some of the extras lack a bit for video quality. Music: The music has a techno style throughout the entire feature, which works pretty well. Disc Problems / Complaints: Unlike most of Vivids recent releases, there isnt an option to turn off the multi-angle icon.

You can hear both Ninas teachings as well as the sexual sounds very clearly. The video is a little grainy and soft, but I didnt think it was bad enough to interfere with the overall feature. Im guessing from the quality that it was taken from the original VHS master. Music: The Foreplay section only has music during the fantasy scenes where it uses some nice slow and soft jazz. The Dancing section uses slow and sexy music that seems perfect for the subject.
