Starring: Candy Vegas, Alyssa Allure, Elena, Angela, John Strong, Kimi, Doomy Moore, Penelope Pumpkins, Eve Adams
Directed by: Stefan Rossini
Review brief: Running Time: 104 min. (cover states 2 hours) Production Date: 10 / 1998 Director: Stefan Rossini Cast: Allyssa Allure, Candy Vegas, Angela, Elena, Doomy Moore, Penelope Pumpkins, Eve Adams, Kimi-G, and John Strong Initial Expectations: This appears to be a compilation, which normally arent very well done. Initial Reaction: Theres almost nothing alluring about it. Who Should Watch It : Extreme fans of Allyssa Allure and all girl groups Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who likes technical qualities from average on up Audio /Video Quality: The technical qualities pretty much suck from the start. The audio is fairly clear, but dubbed worse than Japanese monster movies for the first scene. Thankfully, the dubbing gets closer later in the feature, but still doesnt seem right. The audio also isnt balanced that well, has quite a few parts that you cant hear, and frequently suffers from outside noise in the outdoor scenes.

Review brief: Running Time: 72 min. Production Date: 8 / 2000 (cover) 9 / 2000 (feature) Director: Stuart Canterbury Cast: Evan Stone, Julie Meadows, Joel Lawrence, Angelica Sin, Bridgette Kerkove, Jessie Jordan, Chantal Lace, Kyle Stone, Rich Handsome, and Shay Sweet Initial Expectations: Theres some great people leading the cast and Canterbury can make a very good adult film, so I have pretty good hopes. Initial Reaction: Its very well done. Who Should Watch It : Fans of well done and well acted porn Who Should Avoid It: Anybody looking for more extreme sex and raincoaters Audio /Video Quality: The audio is very clear and well balanced. The video has a little grain and a few flashes of pixelation, but neither interfere with the feature at all. Music: The music is a mix of a sexy jazz style and music that seems better fit for a mainstream movie but works well here also. Theyre both normally way too loud.

Production Date: 01 / 2000 (cover) 3 / 16 / 2000 (feature) Director: Sebastian Hill Cast: Brooke, Carmalita, Desiree, Heather Lyn, Miko Lee, Sashay, and Tabitha Initial Expectations: Im not too sure about this one even though Heather Lyn and Miko Lee are normally good to watch. Initial Reaction: Its got some of the best solo girl scenes Ive seen and a series I hope to see more of on DVD. Who Should Watch It : Fans of girls taking care of themselves Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who wants to watch at least two people having sex at one time. Audio /Video Quality: The audio is pretty well balanced and clear. The video has a little grain to it, but is better than one would expect from a lower budget feature such as this. It also has a few flashes of pixelation. Music: The music is pretty standard and ranges from being just a little loud to being nicely balanced. Menus: The menus are very simple and dont have any extra animation.

Initial Reaction: Theres quite a few scenes here Ive seen before, which were very good, but most of the others are pretty average. Who Should Watch It : Fans of oral and interracial sex Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who doesnt like interracial action Audio /Video Quality: The audio is a little off balance and the dialogue is often very hard to hear. As usual, the video quality leaves much to be desired. Its a little grainy and very jerky, which makes it very hard to watch.

Initial Reaction: The sex is surprisingly good while the technical aspects arent. Who Should Watch It : Fans of inter- racial oral sex Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who likes sex scenes with intercourse or who doesnt like inter-racial sex Audio /Video Quality: The audio leaves a little to be desired right from the opening hot tub scene. The audio is so poorly balanced that the bubbles in the hot tub almost completely obscure the rest of the audio, including the music.

Initial Reaction: Its pretty average. Who Should Watch It : Anybody who likes long continuous shots of the same position Who Should Avoid It: Anybody looking for plot or high production values Audio /Video Quality: Its obvious there isnt much of a budget here, although the production values arent too bad. Theres a little background noise in the scenes, such as planes flying over when the action is outdoors, and the audio is a little unbalanced in places. The only really bad thing about the audio is that you occasionally get to hear the stars being given directions, which always brings down scenes for me.

Initial Reaction: Its extremely average but was held back by the camera work and editing. Who Should Watch It : Fans of long scenes without many camera angle changes Who Should Avoid It: Audio /Video Quality: The audio is very uneven and often poorly balanced. In the opening outdoor scene, you can hear water splashing in the background easier than the trash talking between the stars in the foreground. Theres also some very poor dubbing which is obvious because the same voice is saying two different things at the same time in a couples scene.

In some places its very clear and well balanced, but theres also quite a few places where you can barely hear what the stars are saying to each other. There are also a few background noises such as hearing the directions the stars are being given, throughout the feature, some of which stand out more than others. The video is clear, but has a little grain and the colors seem off slightly due to the lighting in a couple spots. Music: None.

Initial Reaction: Its a good feature and a series that I think Im going to have to check out more of. Who Should Watch It : Fans of newer talent, raincoaters, legs, and panty hose Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who wants a plot or talent theyve seen at least twenty times before Audio /Video Quality: As usual with Digital Sin, theyve put quite a bit of effort into the technical aspects. The audio is very clear, and often just a little too clear. You can often hear some minor background noises such as things being dropped, a little music from somebodys stereo, and what sounds like another adult film being made.

Initial Reaction: Although there are a few good scenes, the bad scenes seem to control the movie. Who Should Watch It : Extreme fans of all girl action with toys Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who wants heterosexual sex or all natural all girl sex Audio /Video Quality: The movie seems to be broken into two styles, with a big change taking place about forty five minutes in. In the first part, the audio is often hard to hear, although its very clear in the second half.

Audio /Video Quality: The audio has a range of feels, all of which appear to be on purpose. Some is very clear, and some echoes quite a bit. The entire movie has a very different feel, which makes me think the audio ranges are on purpose. The video has just as large a range. Sometimes its very clear, and others it has a strong film-like grain. On the plus side, its always widescreen, which is excellent.

It has absolutely no soul whatsoever. The video is about what one would expect from a movie from the early nineties. It has a little grain and looks about like a normal VHS picture. Music: The music tries to have a very romantic style, which would normally help out couples movies. Sadly, it feels very cheap here, like somebody added it in by placing an old boombox near one of the microphones.

Initial Reaction: Its very hot and makes me want to check out more of the movies Chloes directed. Who Should Watch It : Gonzo porn fans Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who wants a plot or very high technical qualities Audio /Video Quality: The video has a little grain, but thats about it. The audio, sadly, varies quite a bit. In some places its very clear, but the level varies quite a bit. There are even times when you can noticeably hear the audio level dropping as the girls moan. Its also fairly uneven, but not much beyond normal gonzo porn levels.
