Directed by: Michael Ninn
Review brief: Acid Dreams Directed by Michael Ninn Overall Impression This is Ninn's second live action feature film for Private. It has the burden of some relatively high expectations considering the success of "Perfect". "Acid Dreams" is not perfect if you'll excuse the pun. It has some very strong scenes, but is a very uneven film. I'm generally a huge Ninn fan as well usually impressed with so called "artsy porn". Unfortunately Ninn lost me with his constantly skewed yellow color pallet and effects that failed to compliment the sexual action. This disc does manage to produce a few quality scenes and a great find in Mercedes. Plot "San Fransisco 1965 and the CIA is using brain bending techniques to test the psychosexual extremes of their subjects. Mind control is the name of the game, and mind blowing chicks are the bait. Set against the background of the cold war, Washington is going all out to win the race for mind control supremacy.

Directed by: Susi Medusa
Review brief: The Wild circle Directed by Susi Medusa Gottardi Overall Impression Much like my good friend aybesea I had high hopes for this one. I totally share aybesea's perspective on Kovi's mishandling of Private's Pirate line. Once upon a time the Pirate Video Deluxe flicks from Tanya Hyde and Frank Thring made it my favorite series. Unfortunately Kovi seriously dropped the ball in my opinion. It's not that he is untalented, because he has made many fine movies for Private's other lines like the Black Label line, but rather he never captured the edge or kink factor that made the previous Pirate titles so exiting. So needless to say I was very curious to see what this unknown female director was going to bring to the table. Judging from the boxcover pics alone I liked where she seemed to be going. This movie is certainly a step in the right direction for the Pirate line, but not quite in sync with the level of quality achieved by Thring and especially Hyde. However Susi Medusa does show some very real promise in her Pirate debut.

Review brief: Without Limits 2 Directed by Antonio Adamo Overall Impression "Without Limits 2" is a seriously strong end to an amazing 12 disc series. This installment is populated by Adamo veterans and picks up right where "Without Limits" ends. Some excellent hardcore sex here with tons of facials, lots of eye contact, and I believe every single girl in every single scene takes it in the ass. Plot "Davis is a very successful young businessman. His life evolves around and between two important women; his lover Helen (Claudia Jackson) and Peggy (Sandra Iron), who is living with him. But things get complicated when Helen decides to leave New York and go live with Davis in Paris. After useless attempts to combine both relationships, the truth comes to light, unleashing the rage of both women, who decide to join forces against Davis." Scene 1 Sandra Iron Not exactly my favorite scene, but I have to give Adamo points for creativity and Sandra props for her footwork. If your a foot fetish man then your going to love this scene.

Directed by: Kovi
Review brief: Private Love Story Directed by Kovi Overall Impression This is a very solid entry into the Black Label line from Kovi. An excellent cast supplies some bankable performances. As of late I have been a little disappointed with Kovi titles, but this one is a little closer to the quality I know he is capable of. Plot "Everybody around Hilda enjoys sex. Only Hilda, being blind, seems condemned to have to guess the delicious aroma from bodies of those who have just made love, and masturbate to the rhythm of her neighbor's gasps of pleasure... But Hilda refuses to let love and sex pass her by. Enjoy Private's hardcore sex in a romantic love story with some of the world's most sensual girls." Scene 1 Dora Vetner I've been a fan of Dora's ever since "Sex Opera". She is yet another Euro beauty with a sexy natural body combined with a seemingly insatiable sexual appetite. She delivers a solid performance in this 2on1 compete with anal and DP. Scene 2 Patricia Diamond Kovi makes another fine casting choice here with Patricia. She stars in this rather enjoyable 1on1.

Review brief: 24 Karat Directed by *Various* Overall Impression This compilation disc from Private is intended to be a "best of the year" sampling of everything they have to offer. Aside from being an excellent comp that puts most other studios to shame, it is also a great introduction to the company for someone unfamiliar with their various lines, girls and directors. I highly recommend this disc to anyone interested in discovering what Private has to offer. Scene 1 From "Perfect" - Directed by Antonio Adamo Jodie Moore This scene is a pretty hot 2on1 . Jodie is sensational as she takes on these two characters. One guy is a Marilyn Manson wannabe and the other guy looks like the devil. Moore shows us why Private signed her to a huge exclusive contract here. This Australian blonde bombshell is stunning from head to toe, as she seems to effortlessly enjoy anal reverse cowgirl and DPs.

Directed by: Antonio Adamo
Review brief: Gladiator III: Sexual Conquest Directed by Antonio Adamo Overall Impression I liked the first installment, but I wasn't blown away, so I was hoping for a strong finish to the trilogy. For the most part Adamo delivers. Some great sex scenes, nice mix of veteran talent and fresh faced starlets, the usual high production values, lots of anal, and plenty of raunchy sex complete with several memorable facials. The only thing holding me back from giving this film the higher rating it really deserves is the setting. I guess I can appreciate the classical Roman theme and it really worked for me at times, but in all honesty I could care less about the plot, and would be willing to throw it out the window completely if it meant I would get to see these women draped in the high fashion, and sexy lingerie I'm accustomed to seeing them in. The other small complaint was the voiced over sex sounds. I can accept dubbing in the dialogue, but it seems unnecessary to dub in the sounds of sex.

Directed by: Michael Ninn
Review brief: Perfect Directed by Michael Ninn Overall Impression I had been eagerly anticipating this production. European pornographic powerhouse Private being one of my favorite and most dependable studios and Michael Ninn being among my favorite directors I hoped their coming together might mean a marriage of all the best things American porn and European porn had to offer. Ok so my expectations were a little unrealistic. Perfect is an extremely good film, but not a great film. I was happy to see that Ninn had decided to go with widescreen. There are some phenomenal visuals and some classic Ninn sex scenes, but there are also some scenes that are way too short and unfocused. The cast is populated by a ton of veterans and rising stars, unfortunately we don't get to spend enough time with everyone. As many of Michael's critics often point out, he has a tendency to go for style over substance. While often I think his style enhances the substance of his sex scenes, I have to admit that his critics have a point at times throughout this film.

Review brief: Faust: The Power of Sex Directed by J.M. Ponce Overall Impression With all of the unbelievable talents involved like Belladonna, Sophie Evans, Rita Faltoyano, Nacho, ect, plus how good some of the screenshots looked, I figured that this had to be a solid, movie. Even after reading a two star review from possibly my most trusted reviewer aybesea. I still had to see for myself despite his obvious warning. It turns out he was 100 on the money. I guess it just goes to show how important a good director and a solid crew are for a successful feature. In my mind it just reinforces how talented directors like Adamo are. All the elements are here, for a terrific film. There is a star studded European cast, strong performances, and a seemingly huge budget. Although the picture quality is top notch on this dvd, and there are moments that are beautifully lit, there are quite a few moments when the lighting stinks. Ponce goes for mood and feel totally at the expense of the sex. The problem is the lighting is often so poor I have trouble appreciating the action.

Review brief: Virtualia Episode One Directed by Antonio Adamo Overall Impression I remember when this disc first hit the shelves, I had extremely high expectations. This film delivered on every one, and still sees time in my DVD player every now and then. The main reason is because in my humble opinion Nikky Anderson sizzles in two amazing scenes. The other reason is simply because Adamo = quality porn. There are eight scenes in the main feature plus an interactive sex scene and a great little sex scene in the "report". That is a lot of sex my friends. Plot "The year is 2118. earth is almost destroyed by nuclear war, and the male survivors have been rendered impotent by the radiation." A biological andriod named Virtualia (Lynn Stone) is created to help with the lack of sex. Well there don't seem to be too many impotent men around this film, nor should there be with a cast this good looking. Scene 1 Nikky Anderson Nikky and Frank Thring go at it in this 1on1.

Review brief: Private Life of Sophie Evans 2 Disc DVD Compilation Overall Impression "The Private Life of" series from Private is by far and away the best compilation series on the market. Everyone is a two disc set packed with tons of scenes, interviews, and solid extras like comprehensive photo galleries straight from the pages of their amazing magazines. This edition is no different. If you like Sophie Evens you will like this disc, no ifs, ands or butts about it. The first disc, I assume is what you would get on the VHS edition. There are seven scenes, all of which have various interview footage with Sophie before the action. The second disc has nine scenes, no interviews, and contains the lion's share of the extras. As great as these discs are I think they can be better! I don't think it would hurt Private's bottom line to allow these discs to contain all of her "BEST" scenes. Don't get me wrong these are some high quality sex scenes, and some would qualify as her best, but all of her greatest performances are not here.

Review brief: Tanya Hyde's London Calling Directed by Tanya Hyde Overall Impression This is still a good movie, but I found it very dissapointing in comparision to Hyde's other works. Her work is highly stylized, but this is the first time I felt she sacraficed style over substance. There is still some fantastic imagery and original porn captured in Hyde's tradmark style, but the sexual heat just did not seem as hot in this one. Scene 1 "cunt clinic" Monique Covet & Bettina This one starts off with some nasty girl/girl action with Covet, Bettina, and some kind of dentist chair . Eventually a guy shows up, Monique places a penis pump over his cock and starts pumping. Bettina takes over and starts sucking away on his cock, as Covet inserts a stainless steel rod into his ass. There seems to be at least one scene like this in every Hyde film, so consider yourself warnned.

Review brief: Tanya Hyde's Twisted Dreams Directed by Tanya Hyde Overall Impression This is another fantastic film from the "Queen of Kink" Tanya Hyde! This film was her follow up effort to the ground breaking "Xtreme Desires." There are just so many thing that I love about this film it is hard to know where to begin. Hyde always manages to bring her unique style to the screen by utilizing so many techniques masterfully. In about 99 of porn, when directors decide they are going to play around with visual effects or mess with the sound they fail. Hyde uses these directors tools with a deft touch in my opinion, allowing the editing and color shifts to enhance the mood she has already created through with great sets, themes and costumes. If you are already familiar with Hyde's films then you should already have a good idea of what to expect. She explores some very kinky sexual themes throughout the course of this film. The film is broken up into six vignettes, each exploring different sexual scenarios that are often taboo in some way.
