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.

Review brief: Running Time: 135 min. Production Date: 1 / 09 / 2002 Director: Various Cast: Evan Stone, Alexandra Silk, Lexington Steele, Silvia Saint, Shay Sweet, Charlie, Monique, Tricia Devereaux, Julian St. Jox, Alexis Amore, Tyler Wood, Mr. Marcus, Jade Marcella, Briana Banks, Ava Vincent, Alexa, Rita, Isabella, Suzy Sweet, Dale DaBone, John Decker, Gisella Yum, and Gina Lynn Initial Expectations: Shades of Sex was pretty well done, so I hope this one keeps up with it. Initial Reaction: Its another nicely done compilation. Who Should Watch It : Fans of inter-racial sex Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who thinks inter-racial sex means you have to have a black person in every scene Audio /Video Quality: Normally one doesnt expect compilations to have consistent technical aspects, but Shades of Sex 2 comes pretty close. Most of the audio is nicely balanced and clear, but there is a little dubbing. The video varies a little, since some of the scenes are gonzo style rather than features, but for the most part theres very little grain in the video.

Directed by: Stuart Canterbury
Review brief: Running Time: 86 min. Production Date: 12 / 2000 Director: Stuart Canterbury Cast: Taylor St. Clair, Stevie, Mina, Lola, Gina Ryder, Angelica Sin, Alexis Amore, Chris Cannon, Kyle Stone, Nick East, and Tyce Bune Initial Expectations: Stuart Canterbury has made quite a few well done features, which is what Im expecting here. Initial Reaction: Its fun and has some good sex, just like porn should. Who Should Watch It : Couples, fans of literature and porn Who Should Avoid It: Anybody looking for more extreme sex and raincoaters Audio /Video Quality: The audio is normally fairly clear, but a little on the low side. Theres a little bit of dubbing, as well as a little background noise, but neither interfere too much with the scene. For being shot on film, the video looks great. Theres some shadows, but they appear natural and dont make things as fuzzy as film often can. The lighting is a bit on the low side for many of the scenes, but Im guessing this is intentional to create a bit of the mood.

Initial Reaction: Its a nicely organized compilation with some pretty average sex. Who Should Watch It : Anybody who likes sex with just two people and who thinks sex between couples doesnt have to be boring Who Should Avoid It: Anybody looking for more extreme sex Audio /Video Quality: As with most compilations, the audio and video quality does vary a bit from scene to scene.

Review brief: Running Time: 89 min. (feature, cover states approx. 114 min. ) 89 min. (behind the scenes) Production Date: 7 / 1999 (cover), 1 / 10 / 2000 (feature) Director: Nicholas Steele Cast: Tera Patrick, Caroline Cage, Cheila, Jessica Drake, Schelly Elson, Judy, Vanda, Evan Stone, Brick Majors, Mark Davis, and Mickey G. Initial Expectations: Caribbean Undercover was a very impressive DVD, so Im expecting much the same here. Initial Reaction: Its a great couples feature! Who Should Watch It : Couples who like exotic locations, romantic settings, and a bit of slightly fetish style sex Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who just wants plain old vanilla couples sex Audio /Video Quality: The audio is very clear and well balanced throughout the feature. There is a bit of dubbing, but theres also a bit of video thats slowed slightly for a romantic effect which requires the audio be dubbed. The video is very clear out to the edges, and very nicely lit. The colors seem very vivid and realistic.

Review brief: Running Time: 87 min. Production Date: 4 / 10 / 1998 Director: Nina Hartley Cast: Nina Hartley, Angelica Sin, Inari Vachs, Dee, Ian Daniels, Mark Anthony, and the ironically named Rich Handsome Initial Expectations: Ive had mixed results from Ninas educational series, so Im not quite sure what to expect. Initial Reaction: Its well done and fun to watch. Who Should Watch It : Anybody curious about sex toys but isnt sure where to start or who has chipped their teeth with a vibrator Who Should Avoid It: People looking for male anal sex toy information Audio /Video Quality: As usual with the earlier installments of Nina Hartleys educational features, the technical aspects leave quite a bit to be desired. The audio is a little muffled and often has a few balance problems. The video is has much more grain than normal, and is fairly comparable to a movie thats shot on film. Music: The music has the cheesy style that people have made fun of since the start of porn.

Review brief: NOTE: Simon Wolf Productions is currently being boycotted by many due to having Marc Wallice, who allegedly faked HIV test results and infected others in the adult industry, on staff.

Review brief: Running Time: 112 min. (cover stats approx. 120 min which is stretching it a little) Production Date: 6 / 12 / 2000 (cover), 9 / 29 / 2000 (feature) Director: Luc Wylder Cast: Alexandra Silk, Christi Lake, Nefertiti, Aurora Snow, Alexis Fire (non-sex), Joel Lawrence, Jay Ashley, Luc Wylder, Scarlet Begonia (non-sex), Ding Dong, the Cable Car Man (non-sex) Initial Expectations: So far this has been a very good gonzo series on well done DVDs. Im hoping this episode has the same quality as the others. Initial Reaction: Its style falls nicely between the first two in the series. Its definitely a keeper. Who Should Watch It : Fans of the Sex Across America series, Shanes World , and other fun gonzo porn Who Should Avoid It: Anybody looking for extremely hardcore sex or a plot Audio /Video Quality: The audio is very quiet and a little bit muffled and uneven. For gonzo porn its fairly good, but it does have some of the normal gonzo faults. The video also has a few minor faults.

Review brief: Running Time: 120 min. Production Date: July 13 - 14, 2000 Director: Nicholas Steele Cast: Ava Vincent, Evan Stone, Dale DaBone, Suzy Sweet, Isabella, Briana Banks, Rita Faltoyano, Alexa, John Decker, and Marty Romano Initial Expectations: Ava Vincent and Briana Banks are really at the top of their game right now, so I have fairly high expectations for Emerald Rain . Initial Reaction: Its almost like if the Discovery Channel made a great porno. Who Should Watch It : Although its a little heavy on the anal sex in the beginning, its a great couples movie. Its also great for couples since theres absolutely no girl / girl action. Its a beautiful location and beautifully shot feature. Who Should Avoid It: Anybody looking for hardcore sex. Audio /Video Quality: The audio is very good and pretty well balanced. The video is extremely clear and does a great job of capturing the Amazon scenery. There are a few shadow problems, but they arent too common.

Directed by: Joe D'Amato, Cameron Grant
Review brief: Running Time: 110 min. Production Date:6 / 15 / 1995 Director: Joe D'Amaton & Cameron Grant Cast: Juli Ashton, Deborah Wells, Anita Blond, Valentina, Kelly Trump, Bernadette, Marc Davis, Sean Michaels, Valentino, Attilla, Backey Jakic, & Frank Malone Audio and Video Quality: Both are below average. The picture is one of the grainiest Ive ever seen. In one close-up I could barely tell what I was looking at. Thats pretty bad for porn. The audio is clearer than the video, but still leaves a lot to be desired. Several of the people in the cast are foreign, and it was hard to understand what they were saying. I know that a lot of that was the accents, but a clearer audio would have helped it a lot. Also, several scenes were noticeably dubbed. The sex audio was a mixed bad because many of the scenes didnt have audio other than the music. Music: The music is a light jazz. Its the same kind of music almost any guy would play when a woman comes over that he wants to score with to make her think hes a sensitive guy.
