Jada Stevens Is Buttwoman (Blu-ray)

Tue, 13 Nov 2012 04:03:18 CST
Highly Recommended.
Note: The trend in porn for high definition releases has been for the standard definiton title to come out first, the Blu-ray second, and then various streaming versions on company websites. In my experience, Blu-ray tends to be the best way to view such movies, even with my great internet connection, but it is not always that big a jump in quality to justify giving it additional praise. This is one such title that provides a solid upgrade in terms of the visuals, the audio is just fine, and the rest mirrors the SD version I reviewed earlier this year. I made some comments regarding the upgrade in the previously released review below, some of my fellow reviewers will have their chance to provide their own comments in subsequent reviews coming soon.

Lily Carter is Irresistible (Blu-ray)

Tue, 13 Nov 2012 04:00:33 CST
Highly Recommended.
Note: I reviewed the following movie in standard definition awhile back, the DVD not quite what I expected but certainly showcasing Lily Carter better than any other title on the market. This Blu-ray, high definition upgrade was strong enough to make me reconsider the overall title thanks to the visual upgrade and how it clicked with me so I boosted the rating a notch as a result. If you have the previous version, explore the possibility of selling the old copy or making it a Christmas gift and picking up this version of the show, it was that much better for me.

This Ain't The Expendables XXX (Blu-ray)

Tue, 06 Nov 2012 09:49:03 CST
Recommended.
Note: The following is a review of an enhanced, high definition version of the original parody I reviewed last month. It was a fun little fuck flick that should appeal to those who liked the original mainstream effort though the Blu-ray enhancement was not as big a diffeence this time compared to some of Axel's better works of the season. Still, the aural portions did appear to sound better and there was no denying the visual boost here, the basic review largely holding firm as the definitive look at the production, some tweaks made to cover the Blu-ray upgrade. The quick version is that some portions of the show looked better, none looked worst, and you could do worse than check this one out if you are in the market to show off your new home theater gear. As expected, the screen captures are from the standard definition version of the movie but they are similar in this lower respolution size (Blu-r...Read the entire review

Note: The following is a review of the upgraded, high definition Blu-ray version of the movie. For the most part, it was still as excellent as ever, the enhanced visuals particularly better in low lit scenes or during those lit for effect such as the orgy portion towards the end. I know that a director cut version of the movie is either for sale or about to be for sale but this version captures all the nuances of the touching story in such a way that I have to suggest it as the best available...Read the entire review

It’s a common porn complaint of mine, but it’s better to put a chapter stop a few seconds early, I think, rather than a few seconds late. No chapter stops for the movie’s introductory or ending scen...Read the entire review
