On this scale of 0 to 4, with a precision of 0.05:
Anything below 2 rent at your own risk, 'cos it sucks
Between 2 and 2.50, rent only if you are an ardent fan of the particular star/genre featured
2.50 to 3.35 are all good to great rentals
3.35 to 3.50 are good for purchasing if you can spare the bucks
Anything higher than 3.50 is a keeper
4.00 is impossible for anything later than 1984 :-)

Voices in my Bed
Let's start with a recent one, "Voices in my bed", a Vivid
production on film, but not directed by Paul Thomas. Features
Ashlyn Gere, Melanie Moore, Nikki Sinn, Deidre Holland, Tom Byron
among others. It is written by Ashlyn and apparently attempts to
emulate "Realities" in that it is supposed to contain Ashlyn's
fantasies (yeah, right!). Like "Realities" it is a very frustrating
movie, particularly if you contemplate what might have been. The
filmography is odious: the incompetent director attempts to emulate
that other imbecile, Andrew Blake, but manages to sink into new
lows. We get grainy picture, bad sound, absolutely horrible camera
angles, mostly close-ups, "erotic" visual effects (basically a lot
of dry ice obscuring an already fuzzy picture). The sex isn't much
better either. As usual with Vivid productions it's very lukewarm.
There is a decent scene between Deidre and Tom Byron and a
promising girl-girl 3some between Ashlyn, Melanie Moore and Nikki
Sinn (I think) that could have been better presented however.
That's about it. The much hyped triple anal gangbang on Ashlyn
("triple" in that all three guys do anal on her, not a TAP) is
absolutely botched. Can't somebody tell those guys that we already
know female anatomy and that we care little for 3 minutes of
close-up? Sigh.
I will not go into the subject of Tom Byron getting fucked by
Ashlyn with a strap-on. I don't like such scenes, I FF'ed it but
I can deal with it :-). I will not include this factor in my final
verdict.
Rating: objectively 2.50, I was upset from the waste of
resources and gave it a 2.00.
The Wild One
On the other hand we have a movie that promises little and delivers
more: "Wild One" starring Danielle Rogers, Brianna Rai (Heather
Lere), Raven Richards, Julianna A'more, Randy Spears, Eric Price
and Jerry Butler. This also has a cute-ish plot on the sibling
rivalry between Eric and Randy as they try to win the affections of
the lovely Danielle. The nice thing however is the no-nonsense sex.
There may be no anals or DPs (I personally don't care much for
facials so I can't remember whether there were any) but the scenes
are nicely filmed, the lighting is as good as it can get in a video
production and the sound is the "original", or at least it is very
well dubbed. All scenes involve actors who range from good-looking
to gorgeous (IMHO always) are nice and long, but not too long, and
there is a lot of variation in the sexual positions.
First there is a girl-girl between Danielle and Brianna, a totally
outstanding scene, if not for the actual sex then at least for the
principals' good looks. There are two decent, but not great,
couples scenes one with Eric Price- J. A'more and the other with R.Spears-
Raven Richards and an excellent 3some with the two ladies above
and Jerry Butler. The video comes to a close with a twin scene
between Danielle-Randy and Danielle-Eric Price; when I say "twin"
I mean two independent scenes presented alternatingly, not a 3some
(unfortunately). Even so they are both great scenes (reverse
cowgirl with Danielle Rogers-WOW!).
Rating: objectively 2.85, 3.25 if you are a die-hard
Danielle Rogers fan A thouroughly enjoyable flick. BTW did I
mention that in all scenes all principals are *completely*
undressed? No stiletto heels, no stockings, even the guys kick the
disgusting habit of keeping their white socks on (sheesh!). I think
they do keep their watches on though; you can't have everything.
PS. Is it only me or is Eric Price particularly incompetent in
holding his orgasm? I have noticed that it is at most one or two
minutes of penetration and then *pop* (not a great one for that
matter). This movie is particularly unfair to him as his scene
alternates with Randy's and his inadequacy contrasts badly with
Randy's outstanding endurance.
Crossing Over
This is a rather weird Henri Pachard movie that borders in what we
call in Europe "bizzar", featuring as it does a hermaphrodite -real
or affected I cannot say- and a gay guy (there is no m-m
intercation, just this guy is screwed by the hermaphrodite in the
film's last scene). Now before the flames start I wish to say that
I have nothing against gays or bizarre porn fans and that it is
perfectly allright by me for video stores to stock these movies.
It is just that not being a fan of the genre I would prefer it if
there were SOME indication on the cover, or that the box were
consigned to the "Bizzare" section as they do in Europe.
[Update 5/29/1995. I was in error; the blurb is rather clear on
this matter. I can't take back what I said since it's already been
posted, but I *can* apologise - and I do: I'm sorry.]
Apart from this matter this is a very nice movie indeed. The cast
is impressive: Moanna Pozzi, another Italian girl named Ava,
Jeanna Fine, Rocco Siffredi, Sharon Kane, Zara Whites and John
Dough. From a technical point of view is very nicely filmed. The
sex is quite nice as well though I felt that the scenes that
should have been extended (i.e. the scenes I liked :-)) suffered
so that the bizzare stuff would be shown in its full glory. That
said there is stuff in here to make you hot: a nice g-g between
Moanna and Sharon in (you'd never guess) a toilet, a decent orgy in
the end with Moanna and Ava doing anal, and an excellent scene
between Zara Whites and John Dough with Zara, very athletic as
always, sitting perpetually in the very flattering RC position.
Rating (VERY subjective): 2.85
Legend III
This one stars Ashlyn Gere, Sandra Scream, Raven, Ashley Nicole.
Forgive me, for I have forgotten all the male leads. You know it's
a case of forgetting which one of the "standard" male actors
starred in which film. It could have been anyone (I think that Mike
Horner might be one). I am certain though that His Voluminousness
Mr. North wasn't in; *that* I would have remembered. Anyway, this
is a good solid flick in the usual "2 scenes for each principal"
format. We therefore have a couples scene with Sandra (good), a
girl-girl with Raven and Sandra (could have been better), two
scenes with Ashlyn one of which is a 3some that includes Raven, and
a nice boy-girl with Ashley Nicole.
Rating: I really expected to watch crap when I rented this but
amazingly enough it is decent stuff. I rate it anywhere from 2.70
(if you mind the absence of anal etc) to 2.90 (if you
don't).
I will not review this as Jammer (I think) posted a very nice review about a month or so
ago. I would just like to say that that I am surprised it is
regarded as such a bloody masterpiece by almost everybody. True it
features yummy Roxanne Blaze, and true it makes a brave effort
toward pursuing a decent plot. But the sex did not impress me in
the least though it was very well filmed (Paul Thomas is
improving). I found it a bit too predictable; also the orgy was
very short and a big disappointment in general (a 3 second close-up
cannot be called an anal *scene*; a flash perhaps, but not a
scene). In any case it is a good film but far inferior to "Steamy Windows" (both the
DeRenzy and the PT version).
A Dirty Western
It's been years since I watched that, but since
there has been some interest in rape scenes I will say a few words
on that. Well, it is NOT an nice film, even if you don't mind the
idea of rape as I do. The filmography is as I remember horrible
(anatomical lessons once again), and when it is not it is a close
up on the ugly face or hairy rump of the head rapist. Oh and BTW I
don't remember any sodomy on that as the rape list claims but I
could be wrong. My advice is to avoid it unless non-consentual
stuff really gets you off. But even then you could watch "Pretty
Peaches" instead of this.
[Update 2/8/1995: This is one of the only 3 movies that starred
the luscious Barbara Bourbon. As such it may be of some historical
interest to diehard classics fans. For a better taste of Barbara
try the infinitely superior "Private Afternoons of Pamela Mann",
with Eric Edwards, Jamie Gillis and Georgina Spelvin starring
beside her]
[From a December 29, 1994 post]
The Private Afternoons of Pamela Mann
[...] I recently saw the "Private Afternoons of Pamela Mann" for
the first time after a *long* time. It is a VCA release now and,
if memory serves, it is shamelessly chopped as well. You see there
is a scene somewhere in the film (so I recall from my original
viewing) where the lovely Barbara Bourbon is picked up in a street
by two of her servants (Jamie Gillis and a woman) and is "forced"
to have sex with them (the whole thing is strictly "roleplaying").
This scene is walloped out of the video copy similarly the
Magnificent Seven segment of "Seven into Snowy" is now reduced to
a pitiful 2 minutes. Unfortunately, unlike Snowy, "Pamela Mann"
suffers from rather poor camera work during the sex scenes (huge
genitals effect), so the cut leaves a rather sorry corpse of a
porn movie.
Overall the film is a classic, though the plot gets a bit
repetitive after a while and this, along with the excessive use of
the closeup, kinda spoils the fun. No rating, but certainly this
is not to be missed if only for historical purposes. Barbara
Bourbon is a fox, and since she only made 3 films you might want
to check her out. Be warned however; if you are feeling horny, you
might want to get another tape for "insurance".

169 “I can arrange all that.” Such Apaches as had not gone back on the war-path returned to the States with the troops; but there were five months more of the outrages of Geronimo and his kind. Then in the summer of the year another man, more fortunate and better fitted to deal with it all, perhaps,—with the tangle of lies and deceptions, cross purposes and trickery,—succeeded where Crook had failed and had been relieved of a task that was beyond him. Geronimo was captured, and was hurried off to a Florida prison with his band, as far as they well could be from the reservation they had refused to accept. And with them were sent other Indians, who had been the friends and helpers of the government for years, and who had run great risks to help or to obtain peace. But the memory and gratitude of governments is become a proverb. The southwest settled down to enjoy its safety. The troops rested upon the laurels they had won, the superseded general went on with his work in another field far away to the north. The new general, the saviour of the land, was heaped[Pg 305] with honor and praise, and the path of civilization was laid clear. Parliament met on the 10th of January, 1765. The resentment of the Americans had reached the ears of the Ministry and the king, yet both continued determined to proceed. In the interviews which Franklin and the other agents had with the Ministers, Grenville begged them to point to any other tax that would be more agreeable to the colonists than the stamp-duty; but they without any real legal grounds drew the line between levying custom and imposing an inland tax. Grenville paid no attention to these representations. Fifty-five resolutions, prepared by a committee of ways and means, were laid by him on the table of the House of Commons at an early day of the Session, imposing on America nearly the same stamp-duties as were already in practical operation in England. These resolutions being adopted, were embodied in a bill; and when it was introduced to the House, it was received with an apathy which betrayed on all hands the profoundest ignorance of its importance. Burke, who was a spectator of the debates in both Houses, in a speech some years afterwards, stated that he never heard a more languid debate than that in the Commons. Only two or three persons spoke against the measure and that with great composure. There was but one division in the whole progress of the Bill, and the minority did not reach to more than thirty-nine or forty. In the Lords, he said, there was, to the best of his recollection, neither division nor debate! His cheek paled for an instant as the thought obtruded that the man might resist and he have to really shoot him. "Good, the old man's goin' to take the grub out to 'em himself," thought the Deacon with relief. "He'll be easy to manage. No need o' shootin' him." "Them that we shot?" said Shorty carelessly, feeling around for his tobacco to refill his pipe. "Nothin'. I guess we've done enough for 'em already." John Dodd, twenty-seven years old, master, part of the third generation, arranged his chair carefully so that it faced the door of the Commons Room, letting the light from the great window illumine the back of his head. He clasped his hands in his lap in a single, nervous gesture, never noticing that the light gave him a faint saintlike halo about his feathery hair. His companion took another chair, set it at right angles to Dodd's and gave it long and thoughtful consideration, as if the act of sitting down were something new and untried. "Besides," Norma said desperately, "they're only rumors—" "Oh, I've found a way of gitting shut of them rootses—thought of it while I wur working at the trees. I'm going to blast 'em out." During the next ten years the farm went forward by strides. Reuben bought seven more acres of Boarzell in '59, and fourteen in '60. He also bought a horse-rake, and threshed by machinery. He was now a topic in every public-house from Northiam to Rye. His success and the scant trouble he took to conciliate those about him had made him disliked. Unprosperous farmers[Pg 124] spoke windily of "spoiling his liddle game." Ditch and Ginner even suggested to Vennal that they should club together and buy thirty acres or so of the Moor themselves, just to spite him. However, money was too precious to throw away even on such an object, especially as everyone felt sure that Backfield would sooner or later "bust himself" in his dealings with Boarzell. "Let's go home," she said faintly—"it's getting late." HoME干别人老婆嗯啊小说
