Studio: Wicked
Starring: Jill Kelly, Brittany Andrews, Missy, Felecia, Serenity, Melissa Hill, Shayla LaVeaux, Jenna Jameson, Nadia
Directed by: Brad Armstrong
Review brief: Running Time: 77 min. Production Date: Feb. 1 - 2, 1997 Director: Brad Armstrong Cast: Jenna Jameson, Serenity, Jill Kelly, Shayla LaVeaux, Felecia, Missy (not listed on the cover or in the credits), Melissa Hill, Brittany Andrews, and Nadia Initial Expectations: Brad Armstrong normally makes a very good feature, so I normally have high expectations for all of his features even though DeathIncarnates review wasnt the best. Initial Reaction: Its right up there with some of Brad Armstrongs best all sex movies. Who Should Watch It : Raincoaters, fans of all girl action, fans of Jenna or anybody else in the cast, and especially anybody who liked Hell on Heels . Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who doesnt like all girl action with a lot of toys or Jenna. Audio /Video Quality: Both are about what youve come to expect from Wicked. The audio is a little off balance at times but otherwise very well done. There is a little dubbing, but it fits the scenes a little where it occurs.

Starring: Missy, Felecia, Kia, Alex Sanders, Brad Armstrong, Mickey G., Jenna Jameson, Alex Dane, Sean Rider
Directed by: Brad Armstrong
Review brief: Running Time: 73 min. Production Date: 6 / 18 / 1996 Director: Brad Armstrong (who also wrote the script with the help of Jenna Jameson) Cast: Jenna Jameson, Missy, Kia, Felecia, Alex Sanders, Brad Armstrong, Sean Rider, and Mickey G. Initial Expectations: Wicked, Jenna, and Brad Armstrong have made a great team so far, so Im expecting another very good DVD. Initial Reaction: Its a typical, well done, Brad Armstrong almost all sex feature but the DVD as a whole seems a little shy. Who Should Watch It : Couples, fans of Jenna and Brad Armstrong, and anybody who likes hot, slightly artistic sex. Anybody who enjoyed Pure should pick this up as soon as possible. Who Should Avoid It: Plot and hardcore fans. Audio /Video Quality: As usual with Wicked, the audio and video are great. This feature is almost five years old and looks and sounds better than many features released today. There are a few places in the feature that are blurry, but they appear to be deliberately blurry.

Review brief: Running Time: 91 min. Production Date: Nov. 2000 Director: Frank Thring Cast: Laura Angel, Silvia Saint, Kate Moore, Fovea, T. J. Hart, Silvia Silent, Janet, Hakan, George, Mike Foster, Frank Gun, Kevin Long, Bobby T., and Robert Initial Expectations: Although Fetish Therapy is the only title Ive seen from Privates Pirate line, it was good enough to give me high expectations for the rest of the series. Initial Reaction: Its great stuff if youre looking for hardcore fetish sex. Who Should Watch It : Fans of hardcore fetish sex. Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who thinks Vivid and Adam & Eve are just a little to hardcore. Audio /Video Quality: Private is known for having one of the best transfers in the business but Hells Belles lacks a little here. The audio is very clear, and it was dubbed pretty well for the most part. The final story, however, was dubbed horribly. Heck, they even had the girls crying out when they had a dick firmly in their mouth for the cumshot.

Initial Reaction: Its not Jim Hollidays best, but even here I really like his work. Who Should Watch It : Foot freaks, fans of rim jobs, and fans of hot sex! Who Should Avoid It: Fans of plot and anybody who doesnt think feet and asses are sexy. Audio /Video Quality: The audio is slightly uneven in places and also suffers from some outdoor noise. The video has a little more grain than usual for a VCA release but isnt too bad.

Michaels, Joel Lawerance, Mike Horner, and Brian Surewood Initial Expectations: Taoist Sexuality sounds interesting and I hope it is. Initial Reaction: Its a very interesting way to look at sex and a decent feature. Who Should Watch It : Anybody looking for a new perspective on sex. Who Should Avoid It: People looking for just sex without anything else or with a plot. Audio /Video Quality: The audio is very clear and well balanced. You cant hear most of the sexual sounds, but that isnt the purpose of this feature. The video has some pixelation and a slight grain. Music: The music is very calm and soothing. Menus: The menus are very simple but get the job done. The Feature: Taoist Sexuality is a very different feature and one that isnt easy to put into words.

Review brief: Running Time: 80 min. Production Date: 2 / 4 / 1996 Director: Brad Armstrong and Greg Steele Cast: Jenna Jameson, Jeanna Fine, Missy, Channone, Vince Voyeur, Peter North, Bobby Vitale, Mark Davis, Mike Horner, Brad Armstrong, Anthony Crane, and Claudio Initial Expectations: I really like Wickeds DVDs but I dont think a lot of Jennas movies quite live up to her hype. Although not quite up to her hype, theyve still been better than the average adult film. Initial Reaction: I now remember why Jenna has such a devoted following. Who Should Watch It : Fans of Brad Armstrongs movies, Jenna Jameson, Jeanna Fine, and well made adult films. Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who doesnt want to be bothered by that plot stuff. Audio /Video Quality: The audio is very clear throughout the entire movie. Most of the video is clear except for the first full sex scene. The focus seems slightly off through most of that scene but this could have partially been from shooting through the mesh hanging around the bed.

Production Date: 11 / 20 / 1995 Director: Nina Hartley Cast: Nina Hartley, Anna Malle, Hank Armstrong, Cristy Lake, Sahara Sands, Dic Tracy, Ariana, Luc Wilder, Shannon Rush, Magnum, Dallas, and Duane Initial Expectations: Nina has a lot of sexual knowledge, so Ive got some hopes for this volume even though its not something Im really interested in. Initial Reaction: Its a decent introduction to how to tackle some of the aspects to starting swinging. Who Should Watch It : Anybody whos considering swinging. Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who thinks monogamy is the only lifestyle. Audio /Video Quality: The audio and video appear to be about the same quality they would have originally been on VHS. The audio is pretty good but has some wind noise and unevenness. It has a slightly muddy sound in parts and the dialogue can be kind of hard to understand at the party. The video has a slight graininess but it doesnt interfere with the feature.

Lincoln Cast: Lisa Ann, Tabitha Stevens, Kitty Monroe, Goldie Star, Lovette, Tom Byron, Nick East, Nice Voyeur, and John Decker Initial Expectations: I havent seen anything from Lisa Ann to my knowledge, but I always love watching Tabitha Stevens. Wicked also normally makes a great DVD, so Ive got pretty good expectations even though this is one of Wickeds more basic DVDs. Initial Reaction: It looks great for its age and holds its own against most current releases. Who Should Watch It : Fans of Lisa Ann or Tabitha Stevens. Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who likes heavy plot with their porn. Audio /Video Quality: Both are excellent! It looks better than a lot of current releases. The audio is very clear and well balanced. The video is very clear but has a couple (and thats about it) soft focus adjustments.

Ive got some hopes here but Im still not expecting too much. Initial Reaction: There isnt much of anything for a plot but the sex is great! Who Should Watch It : Fans of Nikita and Vicca. Anybody who misses some of the brainless porn of the early nineties or late eighties. Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who likes quite a bit of plot with their porn. Audio /Video Quality: Both the audio and video are very clear. Music: Most of the music is tender and feels very familiar. Its normally balanced pretty good but there are some loop problems with it. Disc Problems: The layer change is very obvious and does detract a little from the movie when it occurs.

Production Date: 1 / 15 / 2000 Director: Nicholas Steele Cast: Silvia Saint, Felecia, Julie Meadows, Bunny Luv, Angelica, Nikita Denise, Mark Davis, Alec Metro, Anthony Crane, Dale DaBone, Voodoo, and Frank Fortuna Initial Expectations: Fairly high. Its got a very good cast and Adam & Eves Premium line has been very good so far. Initial Reaction: Its lacking a little compared to some of the others in Adam & Eves Premium line but its still better than a lot of other stuff out there. 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. Its very sexy and really helps the scenes out.

Initial Reaction: Its pretty good but nothing special. Audio /Video Quality: The audio is very clear and well balanced. Theres some slight noise during the outdoor scene but thats the only real problem with the audio. The video looks just as good as the audio sounds. Theres a little bit of pixelation during the outdoor scene but thats about it. Music: The music is pretty standard and very quiet in the background so that I barely knew it was there. Review: Asia Is In Too Deep revolves around married couple Asia and Herschel Savage.

Review brief: Running Time: 120 min. (including bloopers and out-takes and bonus scene). The feature only lasts about 100 min. Production Date: 3 / 22 / 2000 Director: None given on the compilation. Cast: Cheyenne Silver, Ian Daniels, Ashton Moore, Jack Hammer, Lexington Steele, Shanna McCullough, Anita Cannibal, Johnni Black, Barrett Moore, Randy Spears, Joel Lawrence, Nina Hartley, Monique DeMoan, and Dale DaBone (non- sex) Initial Expectations: The other Signature Series titles Ive seen have been very good compilations, so I expect more of the same. 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.

Cox, Rebecca Lord, Shayla LaVeaux, Mark Davis, Jonathan Morgan, and Ian Daniels Initial Expectations: Adam & Eve Signature Series Vol. 1: Asia Carrera was a very well done compilation and I have no reason to expect anything different here. 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. The interviews are very clear audio- wise, but have some borderline lighting.

Initial Reaction: The DVD is a little short on extras, but the movie is very hot. Ive got to pick up more of the Marc Dorcel movies Wicked is releasing. Audio /Video Quality: The video is very clear and about what youd normally expect from Wicked. Theres a little bit of grain in the darker scenes and some soft focus problems. Neither interfere with the movie too much. The audio appears to be dubbed in all of the languages. Its very clear but poorly balanced. There are several language options which allow you to hear the movie in English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish.

Initial Reaction: Wow. This is actually a really fun all girl movie. Audio /Video Quality: Although you can hear some background noises, most of the audio is very clear and well balanced. The video is also very clear. Music: Its the cheesy fun porno music that you love to hate. Its also only in the first and last scene. Review: Every now and then I get a box in the mail with a few DVDs to review. A couple days ago I received such a box that I proceeded to open with the zeal of a five year old on Christmas morning. I glanced across the titles on the spines and one jumped out at me almost immediately. Girls Will Be Boys 8 . If this was Christmas, this present seemed almost worse than for a five year old to open a box and find clothes. I almost screamed like a little girl.

Initial Reaction: Its the best Naughty College School Girls yet. Audio /Video Quality: The audio is very good except for being extremely unbalanced in the opening scene. The video is also very good but there are a couple focus problems that are very short and not too noticeable. Music: There isnt any music during the scenes but theres a little music during the opening interview and tease with each girl. Its well balanced and fits the tease. Review: Naughty College School Girls #6 follows the same formula as the rest of the Naughty College School Girls series.

Ive only seen a couple of their titles, both by Pierre Woodman, which were badly dubbed. I hope Summer Wind isnt dubbed as poorly but has the same good storyline and hot sex. Initial Reaction: Its dubbed much better and has the same hot sex. The plot is a little weaker, however. Audio /Video Quality: Summer Wind isnt quite up to Privates normal high quality transfer. As with all Private titles, the audio is dubbed. Unlike most pornos and Godzilla movies, however, most of it is done very well. Some of it is slightly off balance and hard to hear but it doesnt interfere too much. The video lacks quite a bit more than the audio.

Since its been nominated for a WAD Award I have some hope for it. Initial Reaction: Its not bad, but its not fabulous either. Audio /Video Quality: Its a low budget feature, so its not perfect. The audio has some dubbing but most of the dialogue is pretty clear. The video has some grain and suffers some from poor lighting in areas. On the plus side, its probably a little more realistic lighting in some of these scenes. Unfortunately, it isnt that way for all of them. Music: I think theres only two songs through the entire movie. Theyre normally well balanced but get really annoying.

Audio /Video Quality: The audio is very good. Theres a few background noises but they dont interfere too much with the movie. Theyre soft enough that you wouldnt even notice them if there was any music. The video is also very good. Theres a few soft focus problems but theyre only for a split second a couple times in the movie. Music: None. Review: Normally its a really bad sign when the cover and the movie cant agree on things.

Initial Reaction: Carnal Witness has perhaps the best plot Ive seen in an adult film. The sex was also a little above average. This is a great movie! 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.

It also has a very good transfer. Audio /Video Quality: Adam & Eve also has a Spanish language track. As an American, and therefore speaking only one language as the joke goes, I have no clue if it is well done or not. The audio that I can understand synchs very well with the video. Theres a few parts where the dialogue is hard to hear, but overall its very good. The video is also very clear.

Audio /Video Quality: Looker was shot on film, which, as far as I know, is typical of most of Nic Cramers movies. Since its shot on film there is some grain but its not too bad. Theres just enough grain that you notice it. For being shot on film its about as little grain as Ive seen in an adult movie. The audio is well balanced, although there are a couple flaws in the movie. Theyre not that noticeable and the audio synchs very well throughout the movie.

Adam & Eve has been really improving their quality and listening to the public lately, so theres some hope here. At the very least it should be two hours of Asia, and that cant be all bad. Initial Reaction: Its a great compilation of Asias scenes, but it the technical aspects could have been done a little better. Audio /Video Quality: Both vary, as its, you guessed it, a compilation DVD. Theres some grain to several of the scenes, which is to be expected, but its still pretty average.

I have no reason to expect anything different here. Initial Reaction: Its good, but nowhere as good as the first half. There isnt as much plot but its much more sexual than the first half. Audio /Video Quality: As with the first part, the audio is excellent. Face Dance Part 2 was originally shot back in 1992 so some grain is expected and is also about the same as the first part. Music: The music ranges from soft, smooth jazz to driving rock. It fits the many moods of the movie.
