Production Date: 10 / 06 / 2001 Director: Dion Giarusso Cast: Nikita Denise, Sabrina Johnson, Starla Fox, Jessica, Catalina, Amber Sunset, KK, Lexington Steele, Mark Davis, Tyce Bune, and T. T. Boy Initial Expectations: When Tom Byron was leading this series it was quite impressive. Lately I havent been too impressed with it, despite some good stars. I hope this ones good, but I dont have too high of hopes. Initial Reaction: WOW! This is one of the best installments of the Cumback Pussy series Ive ever seen. Unfortunately, its also one of the worst put together DVDs Ive seen. Who Should Watch It : Fans of the stars and scenes with great chemistry Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who wants a lot of anal or a plot Audio /Video Quality: The audio is normally pretty clear, although it sometimes is a little off balance. Theres also a little bit of background noise here and there.

Review brief: Running Time: 86 min. Production Date: 09 / 2000 Director: Nic Cramer Cast: Sunset Thomas, April, Gwen Summers, Kiki DAire, Chris Cannon, John Strong, Randy Spears, and Zach Addams, and Michael J. Cox, Kely Stone, and Nic Cramer in non-sex roles Initial Expectations: The first two episodes in this series disappointed me. Im not expecting the third part to be any different. Initial Reaction: It does the most with the plot in the trilogy, but still leaves a lot to be desired. Who Should Watch It : Anybody who wants to see how the story ends Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who wants a halfway decently done plot with their sex Audio /Video Quality: The audio is pretty clear and decently balanced, but often a little on the low side. Theres also several background noises that are readily noticeable, and common enough you start to expect them in the scenes. The video is presented in the widescreen format, but unfortunately its non-anamorphic. Theres a couple flashes of remnants, but thats about it for unintentional problems.

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.

Production Date: 8 / 19 / 2002 Director: Roy Karch Cast: Anna Malle, Taylor St. Clair, Lezley Zen, Tommi Rose, Steve Hatcher, Ian Daniels, Billy Glyde, Kyle Stone, and Chris Cannon Initial Expectations: Roy Karchs movies have been kinda like a groin kicking contest. Every now and then you get to go first and win, but more often youre wincing in pain. The only thing that gives me any hope here is how good Anna Malle did in Karchs Backstage Passes. Initial Reaction: Its better than a lot of what Ive seen from Roy Karch, but that isnt saying too much. Who Should Watch It : Couples who want things very slow and very restrained Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who wants sex that feels natural and where the performers look like theyre really into it and enjoying themselves Audio /Video Quality: The audio is pretty clear and decently balanced. There are a few places where it seems a little scratchy, almost as if the microphones were being pushed to their limits.

The audio is pretty clear and well balanced, although there are a few background noises during the outside sequences and a few spots that are badly out of balance. The video is pretty well lit, but has some noticeable grain and pixelation that holds it back.

Im hoping this is better than that, but not really expecting it. Initial Reaction: I wonder if I can talk the five year old into some Nerf equipment. Who Should Watch It : Extreme fans of the performers Who Should Avoid It: Anybody looking for sex that lives up to its full potential Audio /Video Quality: The audio is clear and has a decent balance.

Some of it is nicely clear and well lit, while other parts have some blurry spots and low lighting. Its a pretty good transfer, and much better than I expected.

Initial Reaction: Although it had some problems, Omar seems like a kind of fun alternative to a lot of the other gonzo porn out there. Who Should Watch It : Anybody who wants gonzo porn with an anal or interracial feel, and all natural women Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who wants consistently high technical aspects with their porn Audio /Video Quality: The audio leaves a bit to be desired, showing some of the limitations of gonzo porn. Its a bit unbalanced and some of the dialogue is often a little muddled and hard to hear. Theres also a fair amount of background noise during the outdoor scenes. The video is a bit better, but still has a few problems. Its very clear when the camera isnt moving, but when it does it has the same jerky feeling as a twelve year old operating a video camera for the first time.

Who Should Watch It : Interracial fans who want a little fun plot Who Should Avoid It: Anybody looking for a lot of DPs or nastier sex Audio /Video Quality: Right from the start I was slightly disappointed in the technical aspects of the feature. Theres a small bar across the bottom of the of the screen thats through the entire opening credits. I think Ive seen the same LA backdrop before, so Im pretty sure its just that worn out. When the actual movie starts, the video gets back up to Wickeds normal above average transfer. The audio is pretty good, especially for the age of the feature.

This was one of Jules Jordans very early features, and he didnt have close to the budget or skill that he now has. That said, Im not sure if some of the audio problems are due to the original recording or the DVD creation.
