Review brief: Alexis, obviously is the hot blonde on the boxcover. This being Private, none of the scenes feature condoms. Anything else notable will be mentioned by scene. This being a Private Life of... release, we have 2 DVDs with a various number of scenes on each. This disc features 5 on each DVD, which is a little low for this series as they used to often feature up to 10 scenes (or more) per disc. The scenes each have a little snippet of interview between them. The questions are presented as inter-titles, and Alexis' answers by a voice-over translator.

Review brief: This 4-pack of DVDs from Private's Pirate line features the segment of the series that was directed by Suzi Gottardi AKA Suzi Medusa. I'm not really sure who Suzi Gottardi is, as she only has 9 credits in the iafd, all of which are for Private, and 5 of which are covered by the four individual titles here and the compilation pack this review is for. The other 3 for private being single scenes inserted into their video magazine series' and finally another fetish-themed feature released late last year. Whoever she is or was, it seems that her line for Private was not a huge success, as it ended so quickly.

Review brief: Pirate Fetish Machine: House of the She-Wolves. Director: Susi Medusa Gottardi. Extras: The Extras menu seems to be presented in a forced 16:9 ratio, but not very well, as when displayed on a standard 4:3 television, half of the menu options' icons are not properly visible. Making of:The woman with the British accent who narrates these things explains the plot over a bunch of BTS and backstage footage. Much better than the usual BTS from Gottardi's films. . Trailer: The trailer for this title. Cast: The usual step-throughs of the disc's female cast. Photobook: A bunch of hi-res action stills that you navigate yourself in step format. Production Notes: Some badly-written copy, nominal credits for the cast and director.

Review brief: Pirate Fetish Machine: The Wild Circle. Director: Susi Medusa Gottardi. Extras: Making of:Apparently "making of" means showing some random fuck and BTS footage with annoying Euro-disco played over the top of of it. Not exactly an exploration of the filmmaking process.

Subtitle options: Dutch, Swedish, Danish, Portugese, Polish. A quick note on scene ratings - unlike many reviewers of different things who tend to rate "average" as 7/10. I rate average as 5/10, this makes 7/10 from me quite a bit above average, so bear this in mind. None of these scenes feature condoms.

Extras: The Extras menu seems to be presented in a forced 16:9 ratio, but not very well, as when displayed on a standard 4:3 television, half of the menu options' icons are not visible.

Trailer: The trailer for this title. Making of:Apparently "making of" means showing some random BTS footage with annoying electro-pop played over the top of all the footage.. 6 and a half minutes in there's a quick 1 minute interiew with Julie Silver with the same old trite questions.

Review brief: Pirate Fetish Machine: Theatre of Lust. Director: Susi Medusa Gottardi. Extras: Trailer: The trailer for this title. Making of:The British chick with the posh accent who does the Private voice-overs tells us the story of a Pimp who tries to dress like Ali-G (well, the hat and glasses) who runs his stable out of an old theatre, kills some of his girls when he finds they're stealing from him, goes to prison, kills someone else, then regains control of his harem. Then the dead girls' ghosts come to get him "using the kinkiest sex imaginable as their weapons". Ok, whatever. She says "filthy wanton sluts" rather a lot, too. Not so much a making-of than an extended trailer. Cast: The usual step-throughs of the disc's female cast. Movie Photobook: A bunch of hi-res action stills that you navigate yourself in step format. Backstage Photobook: A bunch of hi-res BTS stills that you navigate yourself in step format. Production Notes: The main dialogue spoken by the woman in the "Making of" in text, nominal credits for the cast and director.

Review brief: Private Tropical 18: Puerto Rican Affairs. Director: Alessandro Del Mar. Extras: Making Of: I finally have the name of one of the last nameless guys I keep seeing in Alessandro's dvds - Francesco Malcolm. He and Anita Armani (who doesn't seem to appear in this disc, her scene with Francesco seems to have been cut out of the feature, as does most of the dialogue featured in the BTS!!) are our hosts. It's a pretty lighthearted and entertaining 20+ minutes (Tera Bond is AKA Anita). After viewing it, I'm expecting a part 2 for this feature.. Trailer: The trailer for this title.

Review brief: Tequila Bum Bum Dir: Allesandro Del Mar. Extras: The listed Extras on the cover are: DVD bonus scene. Making of. Trailers. Girl's profiles. Girl's photobooks Production Notes. Unfortunately the edge of my copy of the disc seems to have been damaged in transit, and so the Extras menu just cycles back to the main menu on my copy. Because I can't access the girls' profiles, I can't ID the performers. Sorry! That's why I've given the extras no stars, cos I can't actually review them..

Review brief: I'll be somewhat brief with this one.. no scene by scene breakdown. Largely because I sold the thing off two weeks ago, so I'm writing from memory. Apologies in advance for that, but that says something in itself. Female Cast: Alexandra Nice, Alexis Amore, Allysin Embers, Amber Michaels, Olivia, Harmony Grant. DVD Stuff: Pretty much standard fare for a Private disc. Nicely animated menus, previews, still gallery, internet stuff I need a dvd-rom to look at. The video -quality- is quite good, but the production/lighting is overall poor, which is why I have given this DVD a middling AV quality score. The Feature: Massive Disappointment here - The covergirl Olivia is only in one scene, - an orgy and she (like most of the cast) is hidden by poor lighting and average editing. You get a better look at her on the front and back covers sadly. The female cast were almost all very attractive, and wasted in an overall very poor film. Frank Thring usually comes through with quality work but not this time.
