Review brief: Cast: Alexandra Silk, Angelica Sin, Marie Silva, Robin Foster, Lori Rivers, Luc Wylder, Peter Foster, Jack Bravo and Rich Handsome. Director: Luc Wylder Production date: 11/18/00 (opening statement); 2/26/01 (box) Length: 106 min. Extras: A 54-min. behind-the-scenes featurette, bios for all female cast, 16 trailers, a gallery with 20 photos (viewable as thumbnails and a slide show) and a hot shot button. Audio/visual quality: The video quality is pretty good, with decent lighting and only minor soft focus issues. Equipment and crew members sometimes appear at the edges of the screen, which is not uncommon for gonzo productions. The white balance is off in scene three, giving the flesh tones an orange cast. The camera angles emphasize close-ups to a greater extent than I recall for other episodes I've seen. This may or may not be a good thing, depending on viewer preference.

Review brief: Cast: Nicole Sheridan, Chennin Blanc, Charlie, Lola, Zana, Voodoo, Cheyne Collins and Billy Glide. Director: Luc Wylder Production date: 9/6/02 Length: 87 min. Extras: A 27-min. behind-the-scenes featurette, bios for all actresses, two previews and a slide show with 44 images. Audio/visual quality: Camerawork is not always Wylder's forte, but this particular title includes enough angles to keep me satisfied. The focus almost always stays sharp in the close-ups. The lighting is saturated in places; however, this tends to be more of an problem in the house tours than during the actual sex. The DVD authoring is far from stellar. I have deducted a half star from the audiovisual rating because I am distracted by random artifacts throughout the movie and by a persistent flicker at the top of the screen. Except during the credits, there is no music.

Starring: Alexandra Silk, Evan Stone [I] (straight), Luc Wylder, jessica drake, Alexis Amore, T.J. Cummings, Scarlet Begoia, Alexis Fire, Rob Dancer, Sydnee Steele
Directed by: Luc Wylder
Review brief: Cast: Alexandra Silk, Alexis Amore, Alexis Fire, Sydnee Steele, Jessica Drake, T.J. Cummings, Rob Dancer (aka Rod Danger at IAFD), Evan Stone and Luc Wylder in sex roles; The Cigar Man and Scarlet Begonia in non-sex roles. Director and writer: Luc Wylder Production date: 5/12/00 Length: 115 min. Lagniappes: (That's New Orleans-speak for extras...) A 31-min. behind-the-scenes featurette, bios for all female cast, 14 trailers, a gallery with 37 photos (viewable as thumbnails and slide show) and a hot shot button. Audio/visual quality: Fallen Angel DVDs tend to be uneven in technical qualitysometimes the lighting or camera angles leave a lot to be desired. But Sex Across America Second Stop: New Orleans is probably the best I've yet seen from this studio. The footage from the two cameras has been edited together in a pleasing manner, usually letting me see what I want to see (the biggest exception is the indirect view of the anal sex in the third scene). A few places are slightly overlit (leading to saturation), and a few are slightly underlit (leading to grain).

Directed by: Luc Wylder
Review brief: Cast: Alexandra Silk, Jasmine Klein, Chennin Blanc, Jenny Lynn, Rick Masters, Cheyne Collins and Bud Nolan in sex roles; Luc Wylder, Buddy Blueberry, Paul Sylvester, Butch Vaughn and Scarlet Begonia in non-sex roles. Director: Luc Wylder Production date: 5/25/02 (box); 6/10/02 (opening statement) Length: 136 min. Extras: A 31-min. behind-the-scenes featurette, pop shot button, bios for all female cast, four trailers and a slide show with 40 photos. Audio/visual quality: The visual quality is adequate. Several locations are cramped, which somewhat limits the camera angles. There are infrequent problems with soft focus and artifacts. During the hotel scenes, lighting woes result from the high contrast ratios between the windows and interiors. Some action is saturated; some is backlit. The color balance is slightly off in a few edits, with skin tones appearing a bit blue in the wintery sunlight. The audio has good volume and sufficient clarity throughout. Sex scenes include live sound only; a few grunts and moans are loud enough cause a little distortion.

Directed by: Luc Wylder
Review brief: Cast: Alexandra Silk, T.J. Hart, Kate Frost, Summer Storm, Valentino, Jay Ashley, Christopher Streams and Luc Wylder. Director: Luc Wylder Production date: 4/04/01 (box); 2/26/02 (opening statement) Length: 111 min. Extras: A 32-minute behind-the-scenes featurette, pop shot button, short bios for all female cast, three trailers and a slide show with 40 photos. Audio/visual quality: The visual quality is usually quite satisfactory, with clear and easily seen action. There are minor ongoing problems with soft focus, too much backlighting, a bit of graininess, intrusions of equipment at the edge of the screen and a couple of off-camera directions. These are issues that might be expected for a gonzo production, however, and they aren't too bothersome. The music typically has a light, easygoing island flavor that supports the scenes. When the performers are near the surf, the live sex sounds sometimes get a little lost, but I'm sure that couldn't be helped. There are no problems whatsoever with wind noise during any of the outdoor scenes.
