Starring: Michael J. Cox, Nick East, Tricia Devereaux, Ruby, Peter North, Serenity, Juli Ashton, Randy West, Vince Vouyer, Rebecca Lord, Montana Gunn, Veronica Hart, Scott Schwartz
Directed by: Nick York
Review brief: Running Time: 86 min. Production Date: 8 / 31 / 1996 Director: Nick York Cast: Juli Ashton, Montana Gunn, Rebecca Lord, Ruby, Serenity, Tricia Devereaux, Veronica Hart, Scotty Schwartz, Vince Voyeur, Randy West, Michael J. Cox, Nick East, and Peter North Initial Expectations: This one looks kinda fun, and theres enough talent in the female cast that Im looking forward to it. Initial Reaction: As with all of Scottys movies, I enjoyed this one a lot more than I should have. Who Should Watch It : Anybody who wants to have a little fun with their porn Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who wants something overly serious or nasty Audio /Video Quality: The audio is clear and well balanced, especially for the age of the feature. The video shows a bit more age. Its well lit, but has a bit of grain and a few remnants. There are also a few parts where the video is slowed for effect which means some of the audio gets dubbed. The video has its faults, but for a movie thats almost ten years old Ive seen much worse.

Review brief: Running Time: 107 min.

Boy, and Tony Tedeschi in sexual roles and Stevie O., Billy Rocket, Pepe Le Peew, Frank Marino, J.B., Jim Enright, Jace Rocker, and Mike Shadow in non-sex roles Initial Expectations: Ive really enjoyed this entire series, and am looking forward to more fun here. Initial Reaction: Its far from perfect sexually, but its so much fun that I still really enjoyed it. Who Should Watch It : Couples wanting a fun movie Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting nastier or lesbian sex Audio /Video Quality: The audio is okay. The background noises get a bit loud at times and some of the dialogue is a bit hard to understand. For the age of the feature, this doesnt sound that bad. The video looks very good for its age. Theres a little grain and a few relics, but its well lit and looks almost as good as many recent releases.

Review brief: Running Time: 107 min. Production Date: 1 / 24 / 1993 Director: Jim Enright and Jace Rocker Cast: Porsche Lynn, Sierra, Lacey Rose, Melanie Moore, Christina Dior, Jenna Wells, Sean Michaels, Jonathan Morgan, Steven St. Croix, Julian St. Jox and Jim Enright in a non-sex role Initial Expectations: Im really curious about this one since its the first movie to ever be released under the Wicked label. Initial Reaction: The sex isnt the best, but the movies a heck of a lot of fun. Who Should Watch It : Anybody who thinks a good laugh is just as important as the sex Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who wants nastier sex and raincoaters Audio /Video Quality: For a ten year old movie, Arabian Nights looks and sounds better than a good portion of the movies that are made today. The audio is presented in 5.1 surround sound, which amazed me since the movie is old enough that porn fans were thinking two speakers was a darn good move up from the speakers on their TV.

Initial Reaction: Its one of the best features Ive seen from Brad Armstrong in a long time, and a great Wicked DVD. Who Should Watch It : Anybody wanting a fun porn with some hot sex Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting vignettes with Armstrongs more artistic direction Audio /Video Quality: The audio is clear and well balanced, but there are a couple moments when it seems close to maxing out. The audio is a little rougher in the background of the commentary, but still plenty clear.

I have no reason to expect this to be any different. Initial Reaction: Its nice, soft, and fun, which seems perfect. Who Should Watch It : Anybody wanting a little romance with their porn Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting the nastier side of Wicked Audio /Video Quality: The audio is clear and well balanced without a hint of background noises. The video is pretty well lit, but looks a little pixelized. Id almost think a filter had been applied to the video if I had heard of Jim Enright doing this to a feature before. Theres also a few spots with flashes of remnants and bad pixelation. Once again, this seems like pretty sloppy video quality for Wicked, especially with a newer movie.

I have pretty high expectations here. Initial Reaction: Its a well done orgy, but not quite my thing. Who Should Watch It : Orgy Fans Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who want complete and separate scenes Audio /Video Quality: The audio is very clear and nicely balanced. Although theres a ton of action around all the performers, you never have a problem hearing whoevers on screen at the time. Although the video is well lit with very few shadows, this is probably the worst video quality Ive seen on a Wicked DVD.

Review brief: Running Time: 73 min. Production Date: 9 / 9 / 1994 Director: Fred J. Lincoln Cast: Chasey Lain, Nicole Lace, Alex Jordan, Barbara Doll, Vanessa Chase, Tom Byron, Alex Sanders, and Nick East Initial Expectations: Although the cover to this one instantly caught my eye and interested me, Freddie Lincoln rarely does much for me. His work for Wicked has been some of the best Ive seen from him, so Im not really sure what to expect. Initial Reaction: Its not too bad when one considers what the rest of porn was like in the early nineties. Who Should Watch It : Fans of Chasey Lain Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who wants a well developed plot or intense sex Audio /Video Quality: The audio is clear and mostly well balanced. The video has some very slight grain, but when one considers the age of the feature it looks great. The biggest problem with the video is that theres more than a fair share of shadows. Music: The music is overbearing and cheesy, and shows just why most people make fun of porno music.

Initial Reaction: Its pretty good, but the music holds it back a lot. Who Should Watch It : Anybody looking for a porno without any anal sex Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting to hear the action in the sex scenes Audio /Video Quality: The audio doesnt seem to be balanced to bad, but the music is so loud that you cant really tell. The video has some very slight grain and theres a couple flashes of remnants, but thats about the only complaint I can have about it. Its nicely lit and the few shadows that are there feel completely natural. Music: The audio has a harder edge to it, and is way too loud.

Initial Reaction: Its okay but didnt impress me as much as a lot of Dorcels other stuff. Who Should Watch It : Fans of Marc Dorcel Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting nastier European sex Audio /Video Quality: The audio is very clear and well balanced. The French audio track synchs very well with the video, and the English track also sound very good. The video is also extremely clear and well lit. To make matters even better, its presented in anamorphic widescreen. Music: The music has a classical feel, as well as frequently having an extremely creepy feel to it, that works extremely well for the feature.

Review brief: Running Time: 70 min. Production Date: 1991 Director: Herschel Savage Cast: Deidre Holland, Charisma, Kim Alexis, Ona Z, Jon Dough, Mike Horner, and Ron Jeremy Initial Expectations: All I needed to see to know I had to see this one was Ron Jeremy as Uncle Fester. Initial Reaction: Its a fun piece of fluff, but nothing too great. Who Should Watch It : Anybody who misses porn from ten years ago Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who wants implants or very high technical aspects Audio /Video Quality: The audio is clear, but occasionally a bit out of balance. The video doesnt hide its age quite as well, and looks about as good as Id imagine the original VHS did. Its well lit, but its a little fuzzy, has a few remnants, and theres a slightly off-colored line along the left edge of the screen. Its not great, but for a movie thats over ten years old, it isnt anything to complain about. Music: The music varies a fair amount, and is normally well balanced with the rest of the audio.

J. Hart, Chennin Blanc, Summer Storm, David Crawford, and many more in non-sex roles Initial Expectations: In my opinion, Michael Raven is one of the best directors out there, if not the best. Combining him with Wicked and a cast like this should be one heck of a winning combination. Initial Reaction: As usual with Michael Raven, its damn good. Its also one of the best DVDs Ive seen all year. Who Should Watch It : Couples and anybody wanting plot and good acting with their porn Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting a lot of nastier sex Audio /Video Quality: The audio is clear and well balanced without even a hint of a background noise. The video is nicely presented in the widescreen format, but unfortunately isnt in anamorphic widescreen.

Initial Reaction: Disappointment. Who Should Watch It : Anybody who likes porn with a lot of art direction Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who just wants girls fucking without any artistic effort Audio /Video Quality: The audio is normally clear and well balanced. The video starts out with some nice sepia tones for the opening credits, and moves into full color as the movie itself starts. The video has a soft feel to it, thats about a step ahead of film when its treated right. Its even right out to the edge of the screen, and nicely lit.

Who Should Watch It : Anybody looking for some fairly typical porn Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting Wickeds currently high production values or nastier sex Audio /Video Quality: The audio is clear and well balanced. The video has a little grain, but is normally well lit and doesnt have many soft focus problems. Music: The music reminds you of why porno music is often made fun of. It has a cheesy rock feel, is often a bit loud, and I think Ive heard much of the music in other features.

Initial Reaction: Its even better than the original! Who Should Watch It : Anybody wanting fresh talent without too many pot-bellied guys initiating them Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting fresh talent theyve never heard of before or girls who look like theyre scared and unsure of themselves Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects are a little below Wickeds normal standards, but far above what this type of feature normally has. The audio is a little low and off balance in parts, but most of it is very good. The video is very clear, but there is some over lighting and you can see the cameraman many times throughout the feature.

With the looks of the rest of the cast here, I dont think theres a single part of me thats going to be at ease.

The video has some slight grain to it that makes it appear as if the feature was shot on film and treated right.

For being over five years old, Allure looks and sounds pretty good. Music: The music is pretty standard porno music, with a bit of action music thrown in, and nicely balanced with the rest of the audio.

Initial Reaction: For Fred Lincoln, its dang good. The cast does a great job with the sex and a nicely done script, but the camera work and editing hold it back some.

Furthermore, David Crawford, who in my opinion is one of the top DVD guys in the adult industry, seems extremely proud of the job hes done on the double disc set. How could I not have high expectations??? Initial Reaction: This is why I think of Wicked as one of the best companies out there and David Crawford as one of the top DVD guys in the adult industry.
