Starring: Alex Sanders, Nina Hartley, David, Angella Faith, Moose
Directed by: Nina Hartley
Review brief: Running Time: 115 min. total (52 cunnilingus and 63 fellatio) Production Date: 1994 Director: Nina Hartley Cast: Nina Hartley, Angela Faith, Alex Sanders, David, and Moose Initial Expectations: Ninas series of educational features, although informative, have been kind of hit or miss for me so far. Im not quite sure what to expect. Initial Reaction: Its pretty basic, but probably a good resource for those without a clue Who Should Watch It : Anybody who feels clueless about performing oral sex Who Should Avoid It: Anybody whos been with a partner with excellent communication about oral sex Audio /Video Quality: For the age of the feature, it looks and sounds great. The sound is normally very clear and well balanced, although its a little quiet. Although Nina isnt always the focus of the camera, she can always be heard clearly as she narrates. There are a few moments in the fellatio feature where theres a little noise that sounds like somebody bumped the mic and a bit thats a little hollow.

For gonzo porn its fairly good, but it does have some of the normal gonzo faults. The video also has a few minor faults.

Since shes one of my all time favorite adult film actresses, I have some fairly high hopes for the movie and very high hopes for the overall DVD. Initial Reaction: The film is nicely done but nothing thats going to start the adult film world on fire. The extras really make this DVD worthwhile.

Production Date: 1 / 1997 Director: Nina Hartley Cast: Nina Hartley, Missy, Ty Law, Mickey G., Aiko, and Dave (Alex Sanders, Angela Faith, Moose, and David are listed on the cover) Initial Expectations: Ive had mixed luck with Ninas educational features, so Im keeping an open mind. Initial Reaction: Its a pretty good educational feature with a diverse enough cast to make almost everybody feel comfortable. Who Should Watch It : Anybody interested in dancing for their lover but not sure where to start and guys who have trouble moving past rowing the boat and stirring the pot, the official white man dance moves. Who Should Avoid It: Professional strippers Audio /Video Quality: The audio is very well balanced and clear. 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.

D., and many realistic looking people Initial Expectations: The last run of Sinclair Institute DVDs has been pretty good which gives me some hope. Initial Reaction: There arent any magical new positions, but it does a great job of demonstrating how common positions can be changed into new positions for different effects. Who Should Watch It : Anybody looking to spice things up with new positions or who has or is interested in Creative Positions For Lovers . Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who thinks one position is enough. Audio /Video Quality: The audio is very clear and well balanced. The video is good but obviously aged. Its a little better than VHS but not a lot. Music: The music is nicely balanced, romantic, and non-threatening. Menus: As usual, the menus are very basic.

Review brief: Running Time: 60 min. Production Date: Feb. 1999 Cast: Marty Klein, Ph.D., Beverly Whipple Ph.D., Bernie Zilbergeld, Ph.D., Linda Banner Ph.D., and many other real looking people. Initial Expectations: Although the early Sincalir Intimacy Institute DVDs I watched left much to be desired (pun intended), the recent 10 Secrets to Great Sex was quite impressive, which gives me fairly high hopes for this DVD as well. Initial Reaction: Its a lot more clinical than 10 Secrets to Great Sex was, but theres a lot of information thats handled quite well. Who Should Watch It : Anybody looking to improve their and their partners sex life. Who Should Avoid It: Anybody not interested in better sex or who has found their partners G-spot and can already have multiple orgasms. Audio /Video Quality: The audio is very clear with almost all of the information coming across very clearly.

Review brief: Running Time: 60 min. Production Date: Jan. 2000 Initial Expectations: What Ive seen from the Sinclair Institute in the past was okay, but so dry that I could have thrown my DVD player into my aquarium without any results. Im hoping for something a little easier to view but not sure Im going to get it. Initial Reaction: Its the best Ive seen from the Sinclair Institute. It does a great job of mixing the information with good sexual examples. Who Should Watch It : Anybody looking for ways to spice up their sex life. Who Should Avoid It: Anybody whos not interested in better sex. Audio /Video Quality: The audio is very well balanced. You can hear the narration very clearly, although there arent really any sexual sounds. Th video has a little grain and looks about like normal VHS quality. Music: The music is well balanced and cheesy. Its the fun kind of cheesy though, which helps out the feature.

Initial Reaction: Its almost like if the Discovery Channel made a great porno. Who Should Watch It : Although its a little heavy on the anal sex in the beginning, its a great couples movie. Its also great for couples since theres absolutely no girl / girl action. Its a beautiful location and beautifully shot feature. Who Should Avoid It: Anybody looking for hardcore sex. Audio /Video Quality: The audio is very good and pretty well balanced. The video is extremely clear and does a great job of capturing the Amazon scenery. There are a few shadow problems, but they arent too common.

Audio /Video Quality: The audio is very well balanced and clear although there is a little bit of dubbing. The picture has a slight grain and some light pixelation to it in normal light but looks amazingly good in low light scenes. Music: Saint did the music for Devoured which most everybody whos read my reviews knows is a big plus to me. As usual with Saint, the music has a nice blend of jazz, Spanish, and other feels.

Initial Reaction: The sex is better than in the other Signature Series titles that Ive seen, but the interview lacks. Audio /Video Quality: Of course, the sex scenes vary due to the quality of the original features, but overall they have a good balance and are quite clear. Typical of most outdoor scenes, the interviews lack a little for the audio and are kind of hard to hear. The video, however, is very clear and well lit.

Initial Reaction: Its another very well done compilation that does a great job of showing Johnni as a person as well as a performer. Audio /Video Quality: As with most any compilation, the audio and video quality varies according to the quality of the original feature.

Initial Reaction: Its not great or terribly original, but its still pretty good. Audio /Video Quality: The audio is normally a little hard to understand as the balance is a little off. Luckily the movie isnt dependent on dialogue and theres very little of it. There is some dubbing, but its kind of hard to avoid with slow motion in scenes. The video varies. Early in the movie it shows a lot of pixelation which disappears later in the movie. Theres also some intentional ghosting and the soft focus is off on purpose.

The story is fairly original, the sex is very good, and the movie itself is artistic in its costumes and sets. Audio /Video Quality: Both are better than most but a few problems still remain. The audio is dubbed in a few places, but isnt that noticeable. Many of the sex sounds are also missing. Although these are normally fairly big negatives to me, neither stuck out at me too much while watching the movie. The video is also slightly flawed with some graininess that varies depending on the scene. Some of the more difficult scenes, such as the night scenes, are very good.

It was a great trailer and gave me quite a bit of hope for the movie. Initial Reaction: Its a pretty good couples movie, but its lacking in several areas. Audio /Video Quality: Both are lacking. The video is pretty average for the most part. Theres a slight grain and a flicker to the picture most of the time. Some of this may be due to the mastering technique used as a lot of the video has a feel kind of like in DMJ 6 . Theres also a small purple dot that appears every now and then, but its extremely noticeable in the third and final sex scenes. The audio is worse. A lot of the dialogue is very hard to hear.

Audio /Video Quality: The audio is generally pretty good. Its a little uneven here and there, but nothing that interferes with the movie too much. The dialogue is all easily understood. The video is about average. Most of the picture is slightly grainy. A lot of the scenes take place in fairly dark places, which doesnt help things much. When you consider some of the locations, the video seems a lot better than what it first appears. Music: The music is excellent and extremely varied.

Everything is very clear, both dialogue and sex sounds. The video is normally very clear, but in some places theres a little grain. Music: The music is by Saint, which I really like. Saints music really raises couples movies up a notch for me. Its very well balanced and fits the scenes wonderfully.
