Directed by: Omar Williams
Review brief: The Little Details Running Time: 86 min. Production Date: 4 / 2 / 2002 Director: Big Omar Williams Cast: Sharana Skyler, Jodie, Shannon, Michelle, Becky, Jay Scarman, Dirty Dog, Mario Rossi, Roger, Victor, Jay, Martin, and of course, Big Omar Williams The Short Story Initial Expectations: Omar Williams has normally put out fun and enjoyable movies. Im looking forward to this one. Initial Reaction: It just might be the worst Big Omar movie Ive seen. Who Should Watch It : Anybody wanting amateurs having group sex Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting gangbangs The Technical Stuff Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects are pretty amateurish. The audio is normally pretty clear, but theres a fair amount of background noises and the balance isnt always the best. The video varies quite a bit. Some of it is nicely lit and free of grain. Other portions are so dark you can barely see anything and has a fair amount of grain. Music: None Menus: The menus are okay.

Review brief: The Little Details Running Time: 60 min. Production Date: 2 / 7 / 2003 Director: None credited Cast: Rocket, Sharla, Devin Domore, and a few uncredited guys The Short Story Initial Expectations: I havent been overly impressed with what Ive seen from Mother Productions and Fetish films, but for some reason I felt the urge to check this one out. Initial Reaction: The movies not too bad, but the overall DVD authoring is. Who Should Watch It : Anybody wanting lactation and blowjobs Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting actual sex The Technical Stuff Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects are okay. Theres very little audio, but I also didnt really notice any background noises. The video shows barely any grain and is also well lit. There is a few soft focus blurs, a bit of digital breakdown, and a few remnants, but thankfully theyre very few and far between. For a simple, no budget porno, this one looks and sounds pretty good. Music: None Disc Complaints: Theres no time code for the movie.

Review brief: Running Time: 27 min. Production Date: None given Director: None listed Cast: Animated with voices by Haven and Shayla LaVeaux Initial Expectations: I really enjoyed Angels in the Court 1, so Im looking forward to this episode as well. Initial Reaction: Its a great continuation of the story! Who Should Watch It : Anybody wanting a fun and light adult cartoon Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who wants cartoons held to the same limitations as regular porn Audio /Video Quality: The audio and video both appear very good for what the source is like. The animation isnt that developed, think Pokemon, but there isnt any noticeable pixelation or remnants to hold it back further. Music: Theres a little Japanese style music in the background, and it fits cartoons more than it fits porn. Menus: The main menu is extremely long, but not bad. The chapter menu lets you choose a scene based on a small clip of each scene and a title for the scene. The Feature: Akira Motoura used to be one of the top volleyball players in Japan.

Who Should Watch It : Anybody who has big tits as their first criteria for picking up a movie Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting a lot of lesbian sex or who wants naturally big tits The Technical Stuff Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects are okay. The only audio is the music. The video has a soft and slightly grainy look, but helps a lot with the artistic feel of the movie. Its well lit, and sometimes even over lit depending on the effect wanted. Music: The music has a sexy feel, but is the only audio in the feature. Menus: The menus are actually pretty good.

Who Should Watch It : Fans of Cytherea Who Should Avoid It: Fans of virtual sex and anybody who wants what the cover advertises The Technical Stuff Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects are okay. The audio is fairly clear, but a little scratchy. It also has a few background noise from the cameraman and you can hear them give the performers directions. The video is similar. Its very nicely lit, but has a bit of grain and a few minor soft focus blurs. The bigger problem here is that the action feels like it was shot for full screen and then cropped to put the selections at the top and the bottom of the screen.

Studio: Pixies Emporium
Starring: Kaysa
Review brief: NOTE: This is an amateur video. Amateur and homemade movies dont have the budget nor the resources of studio porn, and therefore rarely get close to the same quality technically. Im rating this DVD on the same scale, but most homemade or amateur features would rarely make it above a 3 on the standard scale I use for studio porn for their technical aspects. The performers also arent normally the glamour stars one expects from studio porn, and instead use people who look like somebody you might encounter in your day to day life. Finally, the camera work has a different feel, as its often shot from a tripod or with somebody who doesnt have the technical training or experience of professional cameramen. That said, amateur and homemade features have a great charm to them, simple because the people in them are doing what theyre doing to have fun and because they enjoy it.

Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting actual sex The Technical Stuff Audio /Video Quality: The audio quality is okay, and nothing special one way or another in any way. You can clearly make out the dialogue, and I didnt hear any background noises. If I was going to use one word to describe the video quality of Dresden Diary 20, Id have a hard time deciding what word to use, but Im sure it would be one of the many that describe excrement.

Production Date: 12 / 21 / 1995 Director: Jim Powers Cast: Baily, Blaze, Cindy Love, Scarlet Malibu, Ron Jeremy, Byron Long, Dick Nasty, Jack Hammer, and Warren Scott The Short Story Initial Expectations: JM seems to like to make movies to offend rather than turn off. I cant say that Im looking forward to this one. Initial Reaction: Its not nearly as offensive as JM normally gets, but that doesnt mean its good. Who Should Watch It : Anybody who wants young girls doing anal and thinks everything else is secondary Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who dislikes the gyno-cam The Technical Stuff Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects dont quite make it to an average level. The audio is okay, but often gets a bit soft. You can also hear a few background noises during the movie. The video is about the same. It shows definite signs of age, is slightly grainy, and often dark.

Initial Reaction: Theres a lot of potential, but almost all of it is wasted. Who Should Watch It : Anybody wanting a chuckle with their porn Who Should Avoid It: Anybody whos fast forward button isnt working The Technical Stuff Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects leave a bit to be desired. The audio is balanced okay, but theres some crap that appears to be thrown in on purpose during the first scene that brings it down. Maybe its there so that you dont hear all the background noises, but if so they missed a few. The video is pretty good for mid-nineties porn.

Who Should Watch It : Fans of interracial sex with a corny plot Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting their interracial sex a little on the nastier side. The Technical Stuff Audio /Video Quality: For being ten years old, the technical aspects are fairly impressive. The audio is normally clear and well balanced, although there are a few moments when I could hear a little background noise. The video is much the same way.

Who Should Watch It : Alexa Rae fans Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting good technical aspects and sex scenes that normally move at a decent pace The Technical Stuff Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects are much weaker than I normally expect from Wicked. The audio is clear, but the balance varies from scene to scene. Sometimes its nicely balanced and other times the bed makes more noise than the performers. The video is even worse. Theres a bit of pixelation to the feature, but even worse is the lighting.

When I saw Andrew Drake (of Digital Lust, Pixis, SinTec infamy), my expectations plummeted to about the level of Atlantis sewer system. Initial Reaction: Its one of the best Ive seen from Andrew Drake, but that doesnt take much. Who Should Watch It : Fans of Brooke Hunter Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting well developed virtual sex Audio /Video Quality: The audio is a bit on the low side, which means you have to crank up the volume if you want to hear it decently. Theres also a few background noises. The video leaves much to be desired. Its overlit and shows some very noticeable pixelation. On top of that, some of it is even a bit out of focus. Music: None once youre into the feature.
