Review brief: Running Time: 81 min. Production Date: 9 / 10 / 1999 Director: Fred J. Lincoln Cast: Stephanie Swift, Alexandra Silk, Brooke Hunter, Charlie, Ginger Paige, Inari Vachs, Jessica Drake, Leslie Rene, Wendy (Maya) Divine, Phyllisha Anne, Vivian Valentine, Anthony Crane, Jonathan Simms, Eric Everhard, Evan Stone, Ian Daniels, Jack Hammer, Uzd Prtz, Michael J. Cox, and Eric Masterson in a non-sex role Initial Expectations: Although I havent been too impressed with many of Fred J. Lincolns features, the cast here gives me some hope for this one. Initial Reaction: Its very different, very well done, and very questionable at times as spank material. Who Should Watch It : Fans of horror movies and porn Who Should Avoid It: Raincoaters and anybody looking for happy fun or extremely nasty sex Audio /Video Quality: The audio is very clear and well balanced. There are a few places where the balance seems a little off, but theyre few and far between. The video is just as good.

Initial Reaction: Its pretty good and nicely shows what Private can do. Who Should Watch It : Fans of anal sex and raincoaters Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who doesnt like anal sex Audio /Video Quality: The audio is clear, but has a few problems with the balance at times. Its also pretty obviously dubbed in a few places. The video is pretty clear, but does have a bit of grain to it. Theres also a flash or two of garbage that comes up during the feature. Music: The music rests very softly in the background, and has a very soft feel to it.

Who Should Watch It : Fans of fetish sex or anybody even curious about fetish sex Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who thinks Vivid is just a little too extreme Audio /Video Quality: The audio is well balanced, but does have a little bit of minor noise in places. The video has a few problems, with the slight grain being the minor part. Theres also a few spots where the lighting seems a little uneven, and a few flashes of remnants that are very distracting the few times they happen.

Production Date: 5 / 19 / 1998 Director: Bud Lee Cast: Rayveness, Tye, Angelica Sin, Liza Harper, Anita Cannibal, Steve Hatcher, Rich Handsome, Dizzy Blond, and Colt Steele Initial Expectations: Bud Lee has made quite a few good couples movies, and the female cast here is impressive enough to make me think this is going to be another one. Initial Reaction: Its pretty dull Who Should Watch It : Anybody looking for more tame porn and fans of Rayveness Who Should Avoid It: Anybody looking for nastier sex and raincoaters Audio /Video Quality: The audio and video both hover around VHS quality. The audio is pretty well balanced, but does have a little noise here and there. The video is fairly fuzzy, and doesnt put any of DVDs potential to use. The video also has a flashing bar that occurs now and then along the lower edge. Music: None Menus: The main menu is very plain with a minimum of animation.

Review brief: Running Time: approx. 150 min. Production Date: 10 / 23 / 2001 Director: None given, but the films gathered by Luc Wylder Cast: Not listed Initial Expectations: Im not really sure what to expect here, so Im going to keep an open mind. Initial Reaction: Its everything it claims to be, and done very well. Who Should Watch It : Anybody who loves classic porn or whos curious about blue movies Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who wants a clear picture, plot, extreme sex, or most anything else that resembles the porn of today Audio /Video Quality: As one would expect, the technical aspects here are very poor. The audio is horrible, with absolutely no sex sounds, and the picture is grainy and fuzzy. I never thought Id say this about a DVD, but Im not really sure whether this is a good or bad thing here. As is, the features look just like they came out of a box that was left undisturbed in the attic for the last thirty years. This is some of what the aim of this feature is, so Im not sure that this is such a bad thing.

Initial Reaction: Its a little above average, but not much. Who Should Watch It : Anybody looking for a couples friendly feature with quite a bit of plot Who Should Avoid It: Raincoaters and anybody whos looking for nastier or more extreme sex Audio /Video Quality: As is frequently the problem with some of Adam & Eves lesser releases, the audio is very quiet. Its normally pretty clear, but you have to remember to turn the volume back down before you listen to anything else.

Initial Reaction: Unfortunately, it falls prey to the old sequel curse. Who Should Watch It : Anybody looking for a fun adult feature thats pretty plain or extreme fans of the stars Who Should Avoid It: Anybody looking for extremely hot or nasty sex Audio /Video Quality: The audio and video are both very good.

Production Date: Oct. 1998 Director: Bud Lee Cast: Alexandra Silk, Ruby, Barrett Moore, Taylor Moore, Tye, Anita Cannibal, and Leah (who only appears during the opening credits) Initial Expectations: Ive heard pretty average things about this title, which is about what Im expecting. Initial Reaction: Although the overall DVD lacks, the sex itself is very hot. Who Should Watch It : Fans of all girl action without a lot of toys Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who thinks that sex either needs dicks or dick shaped objects Audio /Video Quality: The audio is very low and hard to hear at times. I had to crank the audio about twice as loud as I normally do to even hope to try and hear things. If this isnt enough, theres a lot of outdoor noises that dominate the outdoor audio throughout most of the feature. The video is a little fuzzy, and pretty similar to VHS quality. The lighting is very inconsistent, with some overlit areas and some areas that are plagued by shadows.

Who Should Watch It : Extreme (and I mean extreme) fans of the stars only Who Should Avoid It: Anybody whos expectations are above poor Audio /Video Quality: The audio is average at best. The balance changes throughout the scene, which is a little annoying, and some parts are horribly off balance. Theres also quite a bit of outdoor background noise, since all the scenes are set outdoors, as well as frequent comments from the director that never got edited out.

Who Should Watch It : Anybody who loves to admire the female form Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who wants to see sex Audio /Video Quality: The audio is excellent. Theres some crowd noise, but thats to be expected when the feature is shot in a large crowd, and is also to be expected. The crowd noise is nicely kept just above a background level, which lets you clearly hear any conversations with the dancers while not losing any of the group feel. Its also common to hear some of whats going on at the main stage.

Some of it feels like it was maxed out when recorded, which gives it a kind of scratchy sound. Most of the audio during the sex scenes is dubbed, and most of it quite poorly.

Directed by: Michael Raven
Review brief: Running Time: 85 min. Production Date: 11 / 15 / 2001 Director: Michael Raven Cast: Monica Sweetheart, Jassie, Asia Carrera, April, Dee, Dale DaBone, Lee Stone, Joey Ray, Cheyne Collins, Micky Ray, and Randy Redwood in sexual roles and Anthony Crane, Erin Sky, and Tiffany Enright in non-sex roles Initial Expectations: Michael Raven almost always amazes me in some way with his features. Ive heard that hes really happy with Evolution which really makes me expect a great feature. Initial Reaction: Its very artistic, and the sex is normally above average Who Should Watch It : Anybody looking for couples style sex with a different feel Who Should Avoid It: Anybody looking for nastier sex Audio /Video Quality: The audio is very clear and well balanced. Michael Raven normally shoots on film, so there is a little grain, but for film it looks very clear. There are a few areas where shadows interfere a little, but the shadows do feel kind of natural in some of the places.
