Starring: John Decker, Anna Malle, Nina Hartley, Hank Armstrong
Directed by: Nina Hartley
Review brief: Running Time: 77 min. (cover states 60 min.) Production Date: 11 / 20 / 1995 Director: Nina Hartley Cast: Nina Hartley, Anna Malle, Hank Armstrong, and John Decker Initial Expectations: Ive had mixed results from this series, so Im keeping an open mind. Initial Reaction: Its okay for a start, but doesnt go into too much detail. Who Should Watch It : Anybody looking for a few basic tips for getting started with anal play Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who wants an in depth look at anal play Audio /Video Quality: As usual with this series, the technical aspects are lacking a bit. The audio is often clear, but the balance isnt always even. The video looks like it hasnt been touched since the original video transfer. Theres quite a bit of grain and the video is often a bit fuzzy. Music: The music is the standard porn style. It starts off very soft and unobtrusive, but moves on to become loud and annoying while adding a little mood to the sex. Menus: The menus are pretty basic.

Starring: Missy, Nina Hartley, Mickey G., Midori
Review brief: Running Time: 78 min. Production Date: Jan. 1997 Director: Nina Hartley Cast: Nina Hartley, Missy, Midori, Mickey G., and Michael Initial Expectations: Ive had mixed results out of this series, so Im keeping an open mind. Initial Reaction: Its very basic, but pretty well done. Audio /Video Quality: The audio is a bit on the soft side, but normally is easy to understand. The video leaves more than a bit to be desired. Its normally very grainy, although it is also normally fairly well lit. Music: None during the educational portion, but theres some nice slow and sexy jazz during the fantasy section thats a bit on the loud side. Menus: The main menu is simple and without any animation. The chapter menu is a bit better, and lets you choose a scene based on a small clip of the scene and a title for it. The Feature: Nina Hartley has been one of the standards of the adult film industry for almost twenty years, becoming one of the most recognizable female adult film stars out there.

Directed by: Stefan Rossini
Review brief: Running Time: 63 min. (and Im guessing the actual movie is between 45 and 50 min. once you get rid of the filler) Production Date: 3 / 2000 Director: Stefan Rossini Cast: Miko Lee, Julian St. Jox, Dillion Day, Billy Glyde, Cheyne Collins, Tyce Bune, and Eric Everhard Initial Expectations: Gangbang Bitches 31 really kind of surprised me, so I have some hopes for this one also. Initial Reaction: Miko does a great job, but unfortunately the direction doesnt do her work justice. Who Should Watch It : Fans of gangbangs and Miko Lee Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who wants to see a very well directed and well balanced gangbang Audio /Video Quality: The audio is fairly well balanced among the stars, but it also sounds like you can hear the entire crew talking about this, that, and the other thing. Either that, or somebody was home schooling their kids for sex ed and didnt want to warp them for life by making them watch their parents do the dirty deed. The video is very clear and free of shadows.

Production Date: 8 / 27 / 1999 Director: Stuart Canterbury Cast: Sydnee Steele, Heaven Leigh, Cherry Mirage, Harley Rains, Elizabeth Starr, Donita Dunes, Evan Stone, Joel Lawrence, Kyle Stone, and Steve Taylor Initial Expectations: Theres some decent talent in the cast and Canterbury has shown that he can do a well done adult film, which gives me a good feeling about this one. Initial Reaction: Its nothing too special, but does make me miss Heaven Leigh. Who Should Watch It : Fans of big tittied women Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who wants really hot big tittied women Audio /Video Quality: The audio is very clear and lets you hear everything. You can hear the stars breathing, the cars driving by the set, airplanes flying over, the directions the stars are given, everything! Its definitely a case of too much of a good thing. The video is normally quite clear, and has very few problems. There are a couple spots where the video has a few minor problems, but thats about it.

Review brief: Running Time: 55 min. (cover states 70 min., which is fairly close to a total running time) Production Date: 2000 Director: None given (probably for legal reasons) Cast: Animated Initial Expectations: I really enjoyed Star Ballz, so Im really looking forward to this one. Initial Reaction: Its something thats going to be best enjoyed by people who are familiar with the characters. Its an okay feature, but I was hoping for more humor than straight out sex. Who Should Watch It : Anybody wanting to see some of their favorite anime characters getting nasty Who Should Avoid It: Anybody looking for a really funny adult cartoon Audio /Video Quality: The audio is clear and as well balanced as almost any other cartoon Ive seen. Most of the audio is in Japanese and subtitled, but there is a little bit of English. The animation, however, is extremely simple, and makes Pokemon look like Toy Story. Music: The music varies a little from scene to scene, but is normally light and cartooney.

Review brief: Running Time: 78 min. Production Date: Jan. 1999 Director: Jules Jordan Cast: Dawn Stone, Gabrielle, Heather, Nikki, Harley Raine, Sierra, Alexa, Jules Jordan, Anthony, and T. D. Initial Expectations: Jules Jordan has shown himself to be one of the best gonzo directors out there. Im looking forward to seeing some of his early work. Initial Reaction: Its okay. Its definitely early in Jordans career, but still has some of his trademark signs. Who Should Watch It : Major Jules Jordan fans and fans of amateur style porn Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who wants the high quality job of Jules Jordans films of today Audio /Video Quality: Not surprisingly, since this was just a step or two above an amateur film, the technical aspects are lacking a little. The audio is very low and very off balance. You can normally hear one area really clear while others are lacking. The lighting is much the same way. There are times when you can see the focuses light on the performers, as well as times where theres too much or too little light.

Im expecting this one to compete very well or perhaps even top the other interactive titles out there. Initial Reaction: Surprisingly, its not that impressive. Who Should Watch It : Fans of the stars Who Should Avoid It: Anybody expecting something to compete with the My Plaything and Virtual Sex with series. Audio /Video Quality: The audio and video arent quite up to normal Private standards. The audio is very clear, but there are a few times you can hear directions being given. It happens a couple times during Sophies scene and many times during Lynns scene. The video is very good for two of the three independent angles, but the third angle is horrible. Its fuzzy, slightly slowed, and doesnt seem at all worth paying attention to.

Initial Reaction: Well, thats an hour and a half I wont get back. Who Should Watch It : Anybody whos trying to justify spending money on better porn and trying to remember why cheap porn is cheap Who Should Avoid It: Anybody looking for very well done sex Audio /Video Quality: The audio is fairly clear, but at times feels like somebody didnt know how to record it. Theres a crackling sound like the audio is being maxed out near the beginning, thats very noticeable. The audio is also slightly off balance much of the time. The video is pretty average, but seems like it often wants to be both close and far away at the same time.

The combination should make for a great fuck flick. Initial Reaction: The features pretty good, but the overall DVD feels like it was done by somebody who probably had ten years to go until they could legally watch the feature. Who Should Watch It : Fans of fairly artistic couples porn Who Should Avoid It: Raincoaters and anybody who wants nastier sex Audio /Video Quality: The audio varies a bit. As usual with Adam & Eves recent releases its on the quiet side, but at least this time it doesnt have the distortion problems.

After reading reviews from Kobiata and Endorphin Im expecting this one to match up with many of the rest. Initial Reaction: Its okay, but nothing special. Who Should Watch It : Raincoaters who like fresher talent Who Should Avoid It: Anybody looking for a plot or more extreme sex Audio /Video Quality: As usual, the technical aspects are kind of hit or miss. The audio is good through the sex scenes, but during the setup sequences theyre horribly unbalanced and very hard to hear. Theres also a bit of background noise here and there. The video is very clear and has very few problems from shadows or natural light. If only the audio was as good as the video.

Initial Reaction: Although Mei Yu smokes in her scene, the rest isnt as good as some others in the series. Who Should Watch It : Raincoaters and anybody who enjoys fresh talent and the schoolgirl look Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who wants a plot, anal or lesbian sex, or consistently high technical aspects Audio /Video Quality: Digital Sin keeps a low budget on their all sex features, but that doesnt mean there technical aspects are leaving a lot to be desired. The video is very clear and rarely plagued by shadows. The audio, however, leaves a bit to be desired in places. Any conversations, such as in interviews, are very hard to hear and far from balanced.
