Studio: Penthouse
Starring: Steven St. Croix, Tommy Gunn, Niko, Dino Bravo, Victoria Sin, Brooke Banner, Rachel Roxxx, Charles Dera, Mariah Milano
Directed by: James Avalon
Review brief: Rent this one if you're interested. It plays around Basic Instinct decently at fairly average porn feature levels, but the sex was very hit or miss. There's some good potential in the scenes, but the hard and loud music in each scene really held it back for me. The technical aspects are nicely done except for the music balance and the extras show a touch of effort with a bonus scene. This is a pretty average porn feature.

Studio: Private
Starring: Deniska, Cindy Dollar, Ellen Peterson, Victoria Rush, Kathy Sweet
Directed by: Steve Drakos
Review brief: This is a pretty average release that should have been much better. There's great anal sex and foot fetish action through the movie, but it's constantly held back by an extremely poorly done plot and poor editing. The technical aspects barely make it past the average mark due to the editing, and although there is a touch of care put into the extras with a short behind the scenes featurette, it's done in such a way that it doesn't add much of anything to the overall DVD. This is a release that had potential and then screwed it up.

Studio: Wicked
Starring: Chris Cannon, Randy Spears, Kayla Paige, Jade Starr, Gianna Lynn, Stormy Daniels, Johnny Castle, Marlie Moore, Audrey Bitoni
Directed by: Michael Raven
Review brief: This is a pretty good release. The artistic style is a little inconsistent through the movie, which leaves some of the scenes fighting with each other slightly. Stormy turns in yet another great scene with Randy Spears here, as well as joining Audrey Bitoni for a pretty good foursome, but surprisingly her scene with Voodoo comes across as one of the movie's weakest. The technical aspects are nicely done and the extras show some nice effort as well. This release is a touch inconsistent, but still has plenty to like about it.

Studio: Gina Lynn Productions
Starring: Jules Jordan, Mr. Marcus, Tommy Gunn, Gina Lynn, Alexis Amore, Travis Knight, Ben English, Lela Star, Jess Wakefield, Asa Akira
Review brief: You can easily pass this one by if you've already picked up most of the releases from Gina Lynn Productions, but this is a very nice release to pick up if you're curious about what Gina and Travis can do behind the camera. Although a few of the scenes come in just as being pretty good, Gina's scenes with Lela Star and Ben English, Tommy Gunn, and Erik Everhard are smoking hot and a darn good reason to check this release out. The technical aspects are a bit weak due to the non-anamorphic transfer for most of the scenes in the video, and there's no real effort put into the extras. If all you care about is the sex, however, there's plenty to like here.

Studio: Private
Starring: Lucky, Candy Cat, Carla Cox, Defrancesca Gallardo, Christine Jolie, Lenteen, Mia Hilton
Directed by: Erick Prager
Review brief: This is an okay release. There's some nice attention paid to the styles and the glasses the girls wear, and the sex varies a little, going from average to very good. Although there is a nice mix of action in the scenes, they also have a pretty formulaic feeling to them that holds them back a little. The technical aspects show some nice care, but sadly the extras were barely given any attention. This is an above average movie on a very average DVD.

Studio: Cinema Play
Starring: Kayla Paige, Memphis Monroe, Riley Shy, Kayla Synz, Kitty Caulfield
Review brief: If you're a fan of the 'pizza guy porno opening', then this should be a movie to check out. Each scene starts the action with a pizza guy and his dick in the box, and that sadly makes many of the openings a bit redundant. Kayla Synz and Kayla Paige put out my favorite scenes here, but the sex is pretty consistent throughout the movie. The technical aspects are also a little above average, but there's no real effort put into the extras. This is a pretty average DVD.

Studio: Pink Moon
Starring: Zoe, Barbara, Sandra, Samantha, Pamela, Lora, Mya, Nataly, Zafira, Eufrat
Review brief: This is a pretty good foot fetish release. The all girl action focuses very heavily on feet, and many times the pussy seems almost secondary to feet. Most of the action is very good here, and surprisingly Zafira's scene was the weak link here due to Lora never seeming to get into the action much. The technical aspects hover just below average due to some overly soft video, and there's no effort put into the extras. This is a hot movie on a DVD that could use quite a bit more effort.

Studio: Harmony
Starring: Jasmine, Clarke Kent, Daisy Marie, Lolly Badcock, Tony De Sergio, Suzie Best, Olivier Sanchez, Annette Schwarz, Regina Ice, Rio Lee, Pearly Blue
Directed by: Strangelove
Review brief: This is a pretty average fetish release. The style channels Tanya Hyde, but doesn't quite have the spark that makes Hyde's movies work so well. The technical aspects are good, but held back by the lack of audio from the performers while a lack of any real extras holds back the overall DVD. This isn't a bad movie, but I couldn't help but expect something more.

Studio: Homegrown
Starring: Bianca, Annabelle, Sue, Janay
Review brief: This is easily the best release I've seen from Homegrown Video. Yes, they're still reusing the same extras as you've probably seen on every other Homegrown release, but this release actually has a nice amateur feeling to it with plenty of chemistry and real people. There's also a nice variety to the sex acts with technical aspects that vary like some of the scenes were sent in. This isn't a great amateur release, but the action does make it above the average mark.

Studio: Hundies
Starring: Morgan Ray, Heather Pink, Shannon Kelly, Debbie Dial, Misty Vonage
Review brief: This is an okay release. There's nice chemistry in each of the scenes and the cream pies all appear to be real, but the action sticks so tightly to its formula that the scenes also run together very quickly. The technical aspects are nicely done, but there's no effort put into the extras to help out the overall DVD. This is a decent rental if you want older women taking cream pies.

Studio: VCA
Starring: Sergio, Ciera Sage, Payton Leigh, Jay Lassiter, Mikey Butders, Dane Cross, Morgan Reigns, Eden Degarden, Miss Bunny
Directed by: Axel Braun
Review brief: If you have to pick this one up, rent it. Miss Bunny and Eden De Garden each turn out a darn hot scene, but the rest of the movie has a boring feel that makes you wonder how many people fell asleep making it. Needless to say, this is far below the level I normally expect from Axel Braun. The technical aspects show some decent care, and there's also a little effort put into the extras with a very fun behind the scenes featurette. The last two scenes and the extras show the potential this DVD could have had, but instead it can't even make it past the average mark.

Studio: Hustler
Starring: Chasey Lain, Jay Lassiter, Kelly Leigh, Mikey Butders, Jack Fountain, Dane Cross, Morgan Reigns, Kendra Secrets
Directed by: Axel Braun
Review brief: Unless you're a major Chasey Lain fan, pass this one by. She does have two scenes (one oral only, one full sex), but as for a training aspect or theme to the movie it's just not going to happen. The technical aspects are nicely done, but the camera work is lackluster and the editing feels like a first time experience. There is some nice effort put into the behind the scenes featurette with Axel chatting with Chasey and Kendra, but it's not enough to save this release. This release is extremely forgettable.

Directed by: Robby D
Review brief: This is a pretty average movie, which means it's a bit of a disappointment compared to the quality Robby D. normally puts out. The girls have nice asses, but they're far from great asses and the camera work often seemed a little off. The technical aspects are also plagued by shadows and a washed out look that seemed out of place to me. Add in no effort for the extras, and you have a DVD that's lodged solidly in the average level.

Studio: Penthouse
Starring: Steven St. Croix, James Deen, Sunny Lane, Jack Venice, Jenny Hendrix, Bree Olson, Charles Dera, Holly West, Alan Stafford, Jayden Simone
Review brief: This is a very nice couples release. The sex is all one-on-one with nothing as wild as anal or lesbian sex, and it almost always has some very nice chemistry and a great feeling. That great feeling starts in the opening of each scene and flows nicely through each scene. Jayden Simone and James Deen's scene was held back due to its length as well as other problems, but the rest of the movie is very enjoyable with every other scene hitting the mark. The technical aspects show some nice care, but sadly the extras come off being a little generic even if there is a little effort put into them. This is a very good couples movie.

Directed by: Herve Bodilis
Review brief: This is a decent release. There's a lot of effort put into the production values for the story, as well as a lot of sex with ten complete sex scenes. That's a lot to be crammed into a two hour movie, and because of that this one fell a little shy of where I expected it to. The technical aspects are good, but being that this was a single DVD release there's no real extras here. This is a decent release that cries out for a little more effort all around.

Studio: Teravision
Starring: Harley, Cassie Young, Jay Lassiter, Marcus London, Bianca Dagger, Jamie Tyler, Ava Lauren, Sara Fey
Directed by: Axel Braun
Review brief: This release is a good start towards a very nice release. The action has a touch of class with the location and costumes, and the cast gets into the action nicely. I was a little disappointed by the amount of squirting, but I was more disappointed because the movie barely lasted an hour. The forty five minute behind the scenes featurette is great, and the technical aspects are pretty well done. This could have been a great release with another scene or two, but as it is it's hard to get too excited about.

Directed by: Skye Blue
Review brief: This is a fairly forgettable release. It's not that it's bad in any way, it's just so unremarkable and generic that it's going to be easy to forget. Both Julie Meadows and Dru Berrymore do nice jobs, and there's plenty of softer anal throughout the movie for those who want ass loving without the circus acts. The technical aspects are well done, but often a little on the dark side, while the extras are as generic as one quickly came to expect from VCA long, long ago. This is a very unremarkable release.

Directed by: Wit Maverick
Review brief: This one's easy to pass by. With generic sex and a story that wraps around a cast of unlikable characters, there's very little draw to the feature. The cast does a nice job with the sex, but there's never anything that memorable about it with the entire movie screaming an attitude of Screw it, it's just porn.. The technical aspects show some nice care and there's a bit of effort put into the extras, but that just isn't enough here.

Studio: Private
Starring: Chrystal, Stacy Silver, Lucy Love, Liliane Tiger, Simony Diamond, Vanessa Mae, Keira Farrell
Review brief: This is a decent release. Private has put some very nice effort into the overall compilation letting you know things like who the girls are in each scene with a classy opening to each scene as well as more information about the scenes in the closing credits. That said, the scenes were good but not great, and always left me a bit disappointed regarding the foot fetish aspect due to how light it was. The technical aspects are decent, but held back by a non-anamorphic presentation instead of the anamorphic presentation of the original scenes. Finally, there's a definite lack of effort put into the extras, which takes the release down a notch. Despite the light foot fetish action, which held the release back for me, Private shows some nice effort towards their compilations with this release.

Directed by: Chris Streams
Review brief: This is an okay release. There's some nice big butts, and although there is some anal action mixed in throughout the movie, the focus is always on the butts instead of anal sex. The technical aspects are a little weak due to recurring wind noise and shadows, and once again Zero Tolerance has decided to offer more features on the boxcover than they do on the DVD. This release didn't come close to my expectations with Chris Streams behind the camera.

Studio: Third World Media
Starring: Lucky Smile
Review brief: This is a pretty good bisexual release. There's some nice chemistry to the action rather than just being a gay movie with a couple chicks thrown in the mix, and the action is nicely mixed up in the scenes. The technical aspects are pretty weak and a bit murky, but there is a bit of effort put into the extras (even though they too don't shine too much). If you want a bisexual movie with some good all around chemistry and don't want to spend a arm and a leg, this is a good release to check out.

Review brief: This is an average release that should have been much better. The cast does a good job, but Jim Malibu as J'Mal is annoying as heck and seems to feel the need to mouth off as much as possible from behind the camera through the entire movie. The technical aspects are pretty good, but there's no real effort put into the extras. This is a release that's easy to pass by.

Review brief: This is an okay gangbang release. Jennifer Steele does a nice job taking on a dozen Mexicans, but the action seems to be just guys taking turns fucking her rather than building up to stronger action and none of the guys bring much to the sex. The technical aspects are okay, but don't quite make the average mark while the extras show some nice effort with a very long behind the scenes featurette. If you want a bunch of Mexicans fucking a girl in both holes this might be okay, but as a gangbang it never seemed to go anywhere.

Directed by: Gina Lynn
Review brief: This is a pretty average black guy and white chick movie. There's some decent chemistry in the scenes, but the scenes also feel a little repetitive by having Gina Lynn in every other scene and by the sex being limited to vaginal sex. The technical aspects also don't quite make it up to the average level due to both the audio and video being very inconsistent, but the extras are pretty good due to a very nice few minutes with Katarina Kat and Nat Turnher. This is a release that felt like it had a lot more potential than what it actually showed.

Review brief: Tremors never struck me as a good movie to base a porno spoof on, but it's done pretty well here. The monster is done with some fun cheesiness and the cast does a very nice job with the non-sex portions. There's some good chemistry, nice energy, and plenty of anal for the sex, but sadly the sex is horribly held back by extremely poor lighting and some poor and choppy editing. Thankfully the audio's decent and there's also some very nice effort put into the extras. This should have been a great movie and DVD, but instead it's just an above average movie on a DVD that shows some very nice effort.
