Starring: Mickey Lynn, Mark Davis, Angel, Shanna McCullough, Dyan Cannon, David Wells, Joey D., Eric Jeter
Directed by: Candida Royalle
Review brief: Running Time: 76 min. Production Date: 10 / 1996 Director: Candida Royalle Cast: Angel Smith, Diane Cannon, Micki Lynn, Shanna McCullough, David Wells, Eric Jeter, Joey D., and Mark Davis Initial Expectations: Ive had mixed results from Femmes line. Im not really sure what to expect here. Initial Reaction: Its so tame that I almost fell asleep. Who Should Watch It : Anybody who thinks a typical porno is going to be too intense Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting graphic porn Audio /Video Quality: The audio is fairly average. Some of the dialogue is hard to understand due to the levels changing slightly throughout the movie. The video shows some slight grain, almost as if it were shot on film. The lighting varies throughout the movie, which gives it a slightly artistic feeling at times and at other times it makes it seem like the budget wasnt quite high enough. It also mixes full color and sepia toned footage, which works very nice and makes the feature seem a bit timeless and artistic. Music: The music is soft and sensual.

Directed by: Thomas Paine
Review brief: Running Time: 78 min. Production Date: 5 / 25 / 1997 Director: Thomas Paine Cast: Alexandra Silk, Erika Lockett, Mia Ciccero, Asia Carrera, Alex Sanders, John Decker, Michael J. Cox, and Peter North Initial Expectations: Thomas Paine has rarely impressed me much, so I dont have much for hopes here. Initial Reaction: Theres some hot sex, but it isnt close to consistent. Who Should Watch It : Anybody whos a fan of Alexandra Silk or whos just curious about her Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who insists on top notch technical aspects and DVDs packed as far as they can be Audio /Video Quality: This is one of Adam & Eves earliest DVDs, and its not that hard to tell. Most everything here seems very reminiscent of VHS. The audio is clear, but seems slightly muffled at times. The video has a yellowish tinge to it as well as some slight grain. Theres also a few shadows that interfere. Music: The music is soft and rests very quietly in the background for most of the movie, but it sounds more like a loud train wreck for the orgy scene.

Review brief: Running Time: 99 min. Production Date: 4 / 11 / 2002 Director: Nicholas Steele Cast: Jodie Moore, Zana, Dominca Leoni, Kennedy, Majella, Nikki Fairchild, Tawny Roberts, Julian, Lee Stone, Ricky Roberts, and Randy Spears Initial Expectations: Nicholas Steele has made some decent couples features, which is about what Im expecting. Initial Reaction: Its beautiful, but seems to have trouble getting beyond being pretty. Who Should Watch It : Anybody wanting softer sex, elaborate locations, and soft lighting Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting a good look at the action or who wants the sex to push a limit or two Audio /Video Quality: The audio quality is a mixed bag. Some of it is nice and clear, but other areas are a bit hollow and echo. Much of this is due to the locations, but it makes it hard to understand some of the dialogue. Theres also some very obvious dubbing and the levels change a bit throughout the movie.

Production Date: 8 / 29 / 2002 Director: Nicholas Steele Cast: Nikita Denise, Ashley, Cameron Cruise, Becca Bratt, Avy Scott, Jana Cova, Steve Holmes, Randy Spears, Lee Stone, and Steve St. Croix Initial Expectations: Nicholas Steele has been kind of hit or miss for me, so Im not quite sure what to expect. Initial Reaction: Its not a bad investment. Who Should Watch It : Couples wanting something with a light but sexy plot and sex that pushes things slightly Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting something extremely soft or with a lot of anal Audio /Video Quality: The audio left a little to be desired for me. First, the level seems a little on the low side and varies throughout the movie. Second, the balance seems off in places, although thankfully its not off so badly that it jumps right out at you. Finally, theres a few background noises throughout the feature that do jump right out at you (especially during the scene between Jana and Cameron).

Production Date: 7 / 15 / 2003 Director: Stuart Canterbury Cast: Jessica Drake, Mia Smiles, Allison Wyte, Jackie Moore, Lezley Zen, Cheyne Collins, Chris Cannon, Tristan Seagal, Evan Stone, and Tyce Bune Initial Expectations: Mr. Canterbury had most of this cast together in Stripped: Carmen Luvana, which really impressed me. After how much I enjoyed that one Im really looking forward to this one. Initial Reaction: Ill admit that I had too high of expectations going in, but this one is everything it seems to try to be. Who Should Watch It : Couples Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting something really soft or really hard Audio /Video Quality: The audio leaves a bit to be desired, and its mostly with how its mixed. The main audio is on the left channel, while the music is on the right channel. This seems to make it very easy for one to drown out the other, and because of it I had a hard time understanding some of the dialogue. Theres also some of the audio which appears to be dubbed.

Production Date: 04 / 1999 Director: Nick Orleans Cast: Gina Ryder, Charlie, Alicia Stone, Julie Meadows, Linda Storm, Salina del Ray, Teri Starr, Cheyne Collins, Dante, Evan Stone, Jack Hammer, John West, and Tony Tedeschi Initial Expectations: The little Ive seen of this one in Adam & Eves compilations has been pretty good. Im looking forward to this one. Initial Reaction: Theres nice chemistry, but the camera work normally holds the scene back. Who Should Watch It : Couples wanting something light but sexy Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who wants extremely tame sex Audio /Video Quality: The audio is okay at best. Its often a little off balance, as well as a little hollow. The video is pretty good for the age of the feature and the DVD. Theres a little grain, but not too much, and the lighting is decent. Music: The music is pretty typical porn music. The style varies a little in places, but never too much, and its always on the loud side. Menus: The menus are anything but impressive.

Im not really sure what to expect other than beautiful sets. Initial Reaction: Its beautiful but extremely shallow. Who Should Watch It : Anybody wanting beautiful settings, elaborate costumes, and softer sex Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who wants to hear the performers or who doesnt want much art direction Audio /Video Quality: The audio leaves a bit to be desired. Much of the plot sequences are done with a voice-over by the storyteller, and they have a very soft feeling. Sadly, its so soft that I had an extremely hard time making out most of the words that were being said and had to go back many times to figure out what was being said.

Review brief: Running Time: 81 min. Production Date: 5 / 30 / 1999 Director: Bob Chinn Cast: Nina Hartley, Tina Tyler, T. J. Hart, Dale DaBone, James Bonn, and Edith Initial Expectations: Bob Chinn has been very hit or miss for me, and despite the cast here Im kind of expecting this to be another miss. Initial Reaction: Its a surprisingly great couples movie. Who Should Watch It : Anybody wanting something soft, romantic, and erotic Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting something that feels unique Audio /Video Quality: The audio is clear and well balanced for the most part, but a couple areas seem a bit off. The video has a bit of grain, and is normally well lit. There are a few shadows that interfere, but for the most part they enhance the scene rather than detracting from it. Music: The music is pretty typical porn music, but is balanced very nicely with the rest of the audio.

Initial Reaction: Its one of the best couples films Ive seen in quite a while! Who Should Watch It : Couples who want a bit of plot with their porn Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting a heavy emphasis on the stripping Audio /Video Quality: The audio is well balanced, and normally fairly clear. At times it gets a little scratchy, almost as if it was maxed out when recorded, and there are a few background noises as well. The video is much the same way. Its normally nicely lit, but theres just enough grain to be noticed and a few soft focus blurs. Music: The music has a bit of a rock feel, and rests very nicely in the background.

They only went higher when I actually had this one in my grubby little hands because I think its the best presentation Ive ever seen for a DVD. The set comes in a VHS-sized box with a slide off plastic cover to free a thick CD case sided package that resembles a leather pouch (complete with a silver button with leather tassels). The pouch folds open to reveal the three DVDs, a few photos for the feature, and a small booklet for the feature.

Production Date: 1 / 22 / 1999 Director: Nick Orleans Cast: Ashton Moore, Evan Stone, Gina Ryder, Julie Meadows, Charlie, Elena, Jack Hammer, Brick Majors, Micki Lynn, Alexandra Nice, Mark Davis, and Dante Initial Expectations: I normally like Nick Orleans movies, but for some reason this one has me a little nervous. Initial Reaction: Its okay, but not one of Orleans best. Who Should Watch It : Anybody wanting sex with heavy artistic direction and who doesnt mind slow motion and not really hearing the performers Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who wants to hear the performers and the audio and video to synch Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects are very artistic, and I can see many people hating the movie because of them. During the setup sequences, the audio and video are nicely done. Theyre both nicely clear and there are very few shadows. During the sex, however, the video normally slows things down to give the feature a more romantic feel.

Initial Reaction: Its one of the best movies Ive ever seen from Roy Karch, and a great couples movie. Who Should Watch It : Anybody wanting a light couples movie with passionate sex Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting either nasty or extremely bland sex Audio /Video Quality: The audio is clear and well balanced with barely a hint of background noises. The video is also very good. It has some very slightly grain, but is wlel lit with most of the shadows appearing natural. Music: The music is normally nicely balanced with the rest of the audio.

Kate Frost and Lezley Zen do give me a bit of hope here! Initial Reaction: Its pretty, and at times it feels that heat is sacrificed for pretty. Who Should Watch It : Anybody wanting romantic and artistic porn Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting something with a bit of depth or substance Audio /Video Quality: The audio is often a little on the low side and frequently a bit muffled, making it hard to understand when its going beyond one syllable words that are almost entirely made up of vowels. The voice overs are also on the soft side, which had me adjusting the volume repeatedly so I wouldnt be blasted away, and quite a few areas were obviously dubbed.

Initial Reaction: Its pretty, but rarely goes overboard on heat. Who Should Watch It : Anybody looking for light and pretty porn Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting some really serious and dirty fucking Audio /Video Quality: The audio is a bit of a mixed bag. When theres dialogue its very clear and well balanced. During the sex, however, some artistic effects are added, which makes the voices of the performers drop a notch. The video was shot in the high definition widescreen format, and adds quite a bit to the movie. It has a slight bit of grain, and does a very good job of imitating film.

Initial Reaction: Its a lot of fun! Who Should Watch It : Anybody wanting energetic and slightly nasty sex with a bit of fun Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting straightforward fucking without any artistic camera work Audio /Video Quality: The audio is clear and well balanced. The video is slowed during several portions of the feature which means that either the audio has to be dubbed or everybody has to sound like Barry White (and Id much rather listen to a dubbed Calli Cox that start thinking of her as a large black man).

Initial Reaction: Its a nicely done couples movie with a good touch of fetish. Who Should Watch It : Couples wanting a bit of kink with their porn Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting nastier kinkiness Audio /Video Quality: The audio is clear and well balanced. Theres a few very minor background noises, but theyre barely noticeable and normally during the outdoor scenes. The video has a little grain and a couple minor lighting flickers, but thats about it for problems. Other than that, most everything is nicely even right out to the edge of the screen. Even the lighting appears even despite several of the scenes being shot outdoors.

Initial Reaction: Its pretty hot and all around really pretty! Who Should Watch It : Anybody who wants things slow, romantic, and artistic with just a hint of plot and some fantastic scenery Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who hates slow motion shots or who wants nastier sex Audio /Video Quality: The audio is pretty good, but of a style that I know a lot of people dont like. The video during the sex scenes is often slowed down to help with the romantic feel of the scene, which means that the audio is often dubbed. The audio is also a little hard to hear and understand during the non-sex portions of the feature. The video is also pretty good.

Initial Reaction: *YAWN* Who Should Watch It : Anybody with an hour and forty five minutes to kill Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting something that feels unique in any way. Audio /Video Quality: The audio is pretty clear and well balanced, and didnt have any background noises that I noticed. The video has some noticeable pixelation, which is too bad since much of the movie seems well lit. The lighting is a bit uneven, causing a few shadows that seem out of place and interfere with things a bit. Music: The music is pretty typical porn music, mostly because Im sure Ive heard it in other movies, and often more than a little loud. Even worse than that, its almost the same song in every single scene.

Who Should Watch It : Fans of Shayla LaVeaux and Roxanne Hall Who Should Avoid It: Rebecca Lord fans Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects leave a bit to be desired. The audio is clear at times, but often poorly balanced. The video shows its age as well through a bit of grain. The bigger problem is the lighting, which is extremely inconsistent and often throws off the colors in the feature. Finally, the cameras pop into view occasionally and the slow motion portions of the feature are done poorly so that theyre jumpy and a bit annoying rather than feeling slow and romantic. Music: The music has a nice romantic feel to it, and is often just a little on the loud side.

Who Should Watch It : Anybody wanting an all girl movie with a lot of chemistry Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting a toy-free all girl movie Audio /Video Quality: The audio is clear and well balanced, but does go in and out quite a bit. This draws attention to both the music and the audio from the stars, and gives the feature a slightly artistic feel. Theres a couple moments that appear to be dubbed, but theyre few, far between, and barely noticeable. In what I think is a first for Fallen Angel, Girl Time is presented in the widescreen format.

Who Should Watch It : Fans of plot and artistic sex Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who wants crystal clear video, nastier sex, or a light plot Audio /Video Quality: The audio is very clear and well balanced, but there is a fair amount of dubbing during the sex scenes. The video is presented in non-anamorphic widescreen, and has a very soft feel to much of it. It blends together full color footage with monochrome scenes, and plays quite a bit with the lighting as well.

Who Should Watch It : Anybody wanting artistically captured sex in a variety of settings Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who wants a lot of plot or tame couples action Audio /Video Quality: For the most part, the audio is pretty clear, but there are a few background noises and directions that are audible. Theres also more than a little dubbing throughout the feature, and the opening sequence is so problematic that I had no real clue what the plot of the movie was supposed to be. The video is slightly grainy, almost as if the feature was shot on film.

The video has some very slight grain and the lighting is a little low at times, but theres never anything thats so bad that it impaired my seeing anything. Music: The music has a techno and rock feel to it, and is so loud that you can barely hear anything from the cast. Quite a bit of the music is also easily recognizable, which also brought it down a notch for me.
