While not one of the steamiest dvds to come from VIVID, "WILD
PAIRS" is still one of the better "MATURE" titles.
"MATURE" meaning nothing too hot,e.g. penetration etc. It's
still a lot better than most of what you'd see on Spectravision in the hotel
room! Lauren Bailes, Dominique Piazza and other supermodels take the
viewer to various locations, and the "theme" has to do with various
games. While the theme can be thrown out immediately for what we care,
this is still better produced than many "Mature" titles out there.
The transfer has some grain and artifacts, but fleshtones are natural looking
and the sound is above average in range.
"A BUSHEL & A PECK" is one of the "RAW" line of
titles and it's "dirty". This one's sure to please the most
demanding XXX viewer. Celeste, Janine and others push everything to the
limits. There's a warning on the back cover, but it should be even
larger. This is one of the raunchiest adult flicks I've seen, and for a
change most the girls are hot!
The transfer is generally good, but it still suffers from artifacts.
Fleshtones are natural and contrast is fine. The sound is fine, although
some of the dialogue is unintelligible in a few brief scenes. Then again,
this isn't Shakespeare!
Janine and Julia are at it again in "BLONDAGE 3" FROM VIVID.
These girls just can't look bad! This time, there's actually the semblance
of a story, albeit more of a documentary looking at the "hard" work
and stress these two beauties must endure as they work the adult circuit.
The transfer is superb, without any artifacts! There's no grain either,
and colors are pretty solid. The sound is fine, and free from
distortion. The multi-angle feature exists, but is limited in scope.
"SEX RAIDERS" stars Caressa Savage and Rebecca Lord in this fun
sex-venture! Rebecca stars as a museum researcher delivering a mystical
mask to a collector. Yes, it bares a resemblance to Jim Carrey's "THE
MASK", only this one's more unintentionally funny! The set designs
are limited, but the production values aren't bad. There's non-stop sex,
even with a few lulls in between for the bare-boned plot to move forward.
The transfer is excellent! There's minimal grain and colors are
solid. The resolution is also sharp, even in the darkest scenes.
"VOICES IN MY BED" stars Ashlyn Gere, but it's Brittany O' Connell
that practically steals the show. This is one of her best works
ever! Add to this Valeria, Rebecca Bardoux, and Diedre Holland, and you
know this is a hot title!This one should have been a "RAW" title, as
it features some "raunchy" scenes, including a
"double-anal", yipes! The film is made up of six scenes, and
each one pushes sex to the limit, no fooling! The image is sharp, although
grainy at times. Fleshtones are natural and there's no artifacting.
The stereo sound is fine, although without much separation.
"THE DAILY GRIND" stars Tabitha Stevens, Alyssa Alure, Bionca, and
many more in this poor excuse for a plot, but then again, no excuses needed when
making a "RAW" title. It lives up to its name, and there's
non-stop sex with these and other girls throughout the film. There's no
time wasted on plot, diving into raunchy, "dirty" sex from the get go.
The transfer suffers from grain and artifacting at times, but generally it's
sharp, and fleshtones are natural. The sound is basically mono, in spite
of the Dolby Digital logo on the jacket cover.
"BLACK MAGIC WOMAN" stars Naomi, Bridgette Monroe and Janet Jacme.
We actually had a lot of trouble getting this one to play right on the bonus
side, but the main side was fine. Again, this is a "RAW" title,
so it's meant for adult fans with demands for the raunchiest material! In spite
of the tatoos, these girls are hot and oral sex is one of their biggest turn-ons!
This features one of the best "69s" of recent memory too!There's
plenty of it here too, although every act is indulged in. The transfer is
good, better than video, but not imperfect. It's still lacking in detail
at times, and contrast could be better. We were surprised by the options
in the set-up menu for dolby digital 5.1, but couldn't tell much of a difference
other than in the music.
"BAD GIRLS PART 7:LUST CONFINED" stars Lori Michaels, Sinde Coxx
and other hot adult stars. The plot to this one's not bad! A guard
is killed in "SEX PEN 9" and the warden's out to find the killer(s) by
any means necessary. A prison film with hot girls! This one's got
great dialogue, and a generally fun attitude all the way through. The sex
is hot and not held back by the plot. The production values aren't bad
either, but lighting is only fair, making some scenes appear too grainy.
The image is above average however, and fleshtones still look decent! The sound
is fine, although unremarkable.
