35th Anniversary Encyclopedia (Marc Dorcel)

GENRE: Various

DIRECTORS: Everyone you can think of from 1979 to 2014

STUDIO/PRODUCER: Marc Dorcel

MSRP: 34.99 (EURO) / $43.32 (US) 

LENGTH: 17+ hours (6 DVDs)

DATE OF PRODUCTION: 1979 - 2014

AUDIO/VIDEO: The audio, and video varies according to scene in this collective slim cased boxset, but mostly maintains that signature Marc Dorcel quality that I always speak of. This "quality" includes a sharp widescreen picture with HD resolution as well as the sometimes faded, and lesser quality productions of Dorcel's more retro porn. Screen size does vary when it comes to the older scenes, and the newer, more recent ones. The older scenes, for example tend to be a scaled down fullscreen version while the newer scenes maintain their original aspect ratios, and high quality presentation. Sound throughout is fairly consistent, and includes no spoken English dialogue options in the 'Audio' setup menu. You will however find in place some English subtitle options if you fancy understanding any plot setups that lead to the actual sexual encounters.

CONDOMS: Yes & No (depends on release date of the scene)

LENGTH: 1 hr 55 mins

DATE OF PRODUCTION: 10/22/2013

AUDIO/VIDEO:Without rehashing too much of what I usually say you will find that this is your standard Marc Dorcel dvd release. The video quality is exceptional as is the audio. If you choose to play the dvd as I did through a blu-ray player, and an HDTV you'll get a truly immersive pornographic viewing experience. It looks damn near blu-ray in quality by doing so, and will give you the best viewing, and listening experience possible. In regards to sound you'll find that the music is a blend of classical, and romantic tunes, and that the porn related vocals all play out as if you were in the room with the people who are having sex. For those of you worried about subtitles, and audio options they are not here this time around, but there's no need to worry as the film is dialogue free throughout it's entirety.

DIRECTOR: Herve Bodilis

STUDIO/PRODUCER: Marc Dorcel

MSRP: 12.00 (EURO) / $15.21 (US)

LENGTH: 1 hr 50 mins + BONUS

DATE OF PRODUCTION: 2013

AUDIO/VIDEO: This is easily the best looking Dorcel dvd presentation in the way of lighting, and visuals. Unlike past Dorcel films it seems less dream-like, and more like the sex is taking place in the confines of your living room, or bedroom. Lola Reve, for example looked absolutely stunning in her office blowjob scene. The way the light hit her face from the outer windows really made her stand out. In other instances such as the party orgy the lighting still held true to the realism that Herve Bodilis was able to capture on film through his camera. As far as the sound goes it was just alright. At times it sounded as if the soundtrack was direct from the studio cut, but like the visuals it kept the film real, and for that it was good despite it's standard approach. Overall the film looked gorgeous playing out on my HDTV through my Blu-ray player. In fact I'd go so far as saying that the dvd was damn near Blu-ray in quality.

LENGTH: 1 hr 40 mins + Bonus Content

DATE OF PRODUCTION: 2014

AUDIO/VIDEO: (Playstation 3 Blu-ray Player + 30 in. HDTV w/1080p output)

Like most of the films that fall under the Dorcel label Herve Bodilis's film is overflowing with visual charm, and elegance. The director uses an artistic approach to camera angles, and perspectives giving further meaning to the already plot thickened erotic tale. Without the inclusion of words Herve Bodilis is able to present his visual tale in a way that is fully understandable to an at home audience. Gestures, reactions, and actions all clue the audience in as to what is taking place in each, and every scene. It's a directing approach that is not unlike that of other like-minded Dorcel content creators. As far as the presentation goes you will find a vivid palette of colors augmented by the provided lighting, and the lack there of. The color of flesh of course comes in a lively, and sensuous variety that makes the erotic nature of the film all the more enticing. Sound is also an important aspect of the storytelling at hand, and is orchestrated in a more romantic manner. Often times the acting parts of the scenes will be filled with the sound of instrumental music in a classic arrangement, or even a vocally accented song that is unique to the Dorcel line of productions. Together the visual nature of the film, and the applied soundtrack work exceptionally well to bring light to the new, and older faces of Dorcel's fan favorite performers.

DATE OF PRODUCTION: 9/25/2013

AUDIO/VIDEO: As usual Kendo, his cast, and his camera crew went out of their way to deliver a film worthy of the Dorcel name, and of your hard earned money. Artistic camera angles, and effects abound as Kendo delivers a tale solely driven on actions, imagery, and music. Nothing is half-assed, and every one of the six included scenes will no doubt draw you in with their visual eroticism, and outright hardcore sex. The film itself is expertly edited throughout in order to bring to you one of the richest porn experience an at home viewer can afford. The soundtrack, which is just as tantalizing as the sexual encounters provides a mixture of thematic tunes that build up the hype in a classic, and modern-day way.

A Photo Shout Out From Scarlett Red XXX ...

By now you've probably noticed that I missed a week's review, and that it is now Sunday of the following week, and another review has yet to be published. The thing is that @TeamSkeet has provided dvds for review, and they are on my to do list. Due to life's misfortunes and game review demands though the porn reviews have been delayed. For this I apologize. I do realize that I still have an audience here willing to read what I have to say in regards to these latest porn releases, and I honestly don't want to let you guys, and gals down. Sadly though I've always been a one man army when it comes to reviews, and life has always dictated how my days, and provided reviews end up. I hope to get some more reviews out to you soon, but in saying so I also have to let you know that I'm contemplating shutting down my operations here at "Paradise Theater XxX", indefinitely. Of course I will provide the reviews of the remaining TeamSkeet dvds before doing so. I like to think of myself as a man of my word, and like to keep my word when it comes to promised reviews.

Teens Do Porn Vol.5 (TeamSkeet)

GENRE: Teens, Barely Legal, 18+, Straight Sex, POV

DIRECTOR: Uncredited

STUDIO/PRODUCER: TeamSkeet / Paper Street Media, LLC.

MSRP: $21.99 (US) (http://www.adultdvdempire.com/1700800/teens-do-porn-5-porn-movies.html)

LENGTH: 2 hrs 31 mins

DATE OF PRODUCTION: 2014

AUDIO/VIDEO:

EQUIPMENT USED: PS3 Blu-ray player + Generic 32in. HDTV with 1080p output

Both the video, and audio in this dvd production was done up in a fashion not common to usual porn productions. It featured raw captured footage alongside edited footage that was shown in a picture-in-picture style setup. Some of the footage shown was what you'd expect from a top-dollar studio production, and other aspects of the recording was actual footage caught of the POV (Point of View) perspective from a distance, and an entirely separate camera from what the cameraman/male performer was holding. The picture-in-picture windows would alternate throughout the scene with raw unedited content in a full screen view, and unedited content in a smaller onscreen window as well as in the direct opposite orientation. There were even instances where it was just a full screen view of the HD sex act, or an unedited perspective. There were plenty of P.O.V. shots included as well as full body shots of both the cameraman/performer, and the female performers that were involved. In all cases the sound was raw in nature, and did not reflect the top quality portions of each scene.

Le Manoir Du Vice / Down On Abby - Tales From Bottomley Manor (Harmony/Marc Dorcel)

GENRE: Feature, Spoof, Foreign, Threesomes, Straight Sex

DIRECTOR: Gazzman

STUDIO/PRODUCER: Harmony & Marc Dorcel

MSRP: 34.99 (EURO) / $47.61 (US) 

LENGTH: 2 hrs 40 mins

DATE OF PRODUCTION: 2014

AUDIO/VIDEO: (EQUIPMENT USED - PS3 Bluray + 30 in HDTV w/1080p resolution)

Both the audio, and video in this dvd production were superb when being played through my PS3 gaming console, and onto my HDTV. The picture filled the screen with it's faux European lighting, and overall impressive visual quality. Everything from the English manor backdrops to the English manor courtyard gave me the feeling as if the captured film was of true UK origin. With the excellently created English nobleman costumes, and elegant lady apparel the European/UK feel was extended even further. Even the applied hairstyles, and forced English (UK) accents kept true enough to the tribute material that it still seemed mostly genuine. The classically inspired music soundtrack, and the sound itself was as rich in nature as the lavish estate every performer was having sex in. When it comes to both visual, and audio quality it is apparent from the start that Harmony spared no expenses in the production of this comedic feature film.

19 Ans, Jeune Fille Exhibitionniste / 19 Years, Young Exhibitionist Girl (Marc Dorcel)

GENRE: Prostitution, 18+, Amateur, Public Sex, European

DIRECTOR: Philippe Soine

STUDIO/PRODUCER: Marc Dorcel

MSRP: 34.99 (EURO) / $47.73 (US) 

LENGTH: 1 hr 15 mins

DATE OF PRODUCTION: 2014

AUDIO/VIDEO: Other than go through my usual means of viewing the dvd (through a tube television for nostalgia reasons) I opted to play the disc on my HDTV using my PS3's Blu-ray player capabilities. As far as visuals are concerned the film fit the HDTV perfectly, and the visuals looked near Blu-ray throughout the playthrough. The usual high quality Dorcel production values were definitely applied in the making of this film, and you could tell it from the main menu forward. Every bodily flaw whether it be on the male, or female cast members were fully visible. Philippe Soine's reality show style of directing also came to life in a vivid manner as the cameraman not only focused on the sexual encounters, but also on the rich European cityscapes that the events took place on. The lighting was exceptional for a European film, and the artistic camera shots made for a visual journey worthy of the Dorcel name.

In the way of audio options things were a bit limited this time around. There were no audio menus in place for subtitles, or spoken languages. The subtitles, and spoken languages that were used by default were an odd mixture of spoken English, spoken French, and French subtitles. It was a hit, or miss feature that could have been done better, but with that being said this is a foreign film and language barriers are to be expected. The sound quality itself was clear, and audible regardless of how the peoples' voices were interpreted. It's the type of flesh flick where dialogue would help, but where the onscreen action suffices enough to please.

18 Ans, Mais Cochonne! / 18, and Horny!

GENRE: 18, Legal Teens, European, French, Older Men

DIRECTOR: Philippe Soine

STUDIO/PRODUCER: Marc Dorcel

MSRP: 34.99 (EURO) / $48.76 (US)

LENGTH: 1 hr 9 mins

DATE OF PRODUCTION: 2014

AUDIO/VIDEO: Unlike most Dorcel dvd productions this particular film carries with it some changes in quality. While the widescreen format maintains an HD appearance the film process used to capture the footage almost resembles a homemade video at times. I think the director was going for that more natural porn appearance on purpose, but in doing so he may have went a little overboard. In the way of sound offerings everything has an HD quality about it. From the moans to the heavy breathing, and even the French dialogue you'll be able to hear it all very clearly. The only downside to it is that Americans who choose to buy this particular dvd will be left in the dark due to the absence of English subtitles, or voice-overs. It's one of Dorcel's purely French productions in that respect.

MSRP: 12.00 (EURO) / $16.58 (US) = 66% off 

NOTE: "Discounted Price Only Available For Limited Time!!!"

LENGTH: 1 hr 35 mins + Extras

DATE OF PRODUCTION: 9/29/2013

AUDIO/VIDEO: As one would expect after reading all of my audio, and video descriptions in regards to Dorcel productions this latest dvd is of the same quality. The scenes which are each shown in a widescreen presentation carry with them HD visuals, and an audio soundtrack fitting of an HD production. Bodily details can be seen ever so clearly, and voices can be heard as if you are in the room with the performers. While the vocals do carry with them that ambient sound quality you'll also be glad to know that the film has a theatrical Hollywood air about it as well. Since the film is a feature presentation it's only fitting that the director includes musical scores, and sound editing as a part of his film making process. As such that's exactly what you'll find here, a sexual journey filled with rich details, both physically, and sound-wise.

For those of you interested in the languages fear not as Herve Bodilis has included the usual European, and English language assortments. This language feature extends the region-free playability of the film, and allows people of all worldy origins to enjoy what Marc Dorcel, and Herve Bodilis have to offer. Even the lengthy "Making of" bonus footage includes language options for your viewing pleasure.

Le Journal D'Une Vierge / Lola Reve the Virgin (Dorcel)

GENRE: Straight, Threesomes, Interracial, Anal, European, French

DIRECTOR: Kendo

STUDIO/PRODUCER: Marc Dorcel

MSRP: 34.99 (EURO) / $48.33 (US)

LENGTH: 1 hr 45 min

DATE OF PRODUCTION: 2014

AUDIO/VIDEO: As expected Kendo, the director of this film extended his artistic touch, and chose to share with the viewer camera angles as well as special effects that greatly enhanced the onscreen action. Dream-like perspectives filled with a sunny haze are but a part of what makes this film so great. The artistic close-ups of male, and female body parts also reflects the vision of the man behind the film. Like most Dorcel presentations you'll find that each scene is shown in HD (High Definition), or HD-like quality, and that they are scaled down slightly to encompass a widescreen presentation.  This in no way takes from the viewing experience

In the way of audio the sound is as superb as it usually is. It seems to reflect that HD quality that I mentioned before, and carries with it clear sounds that greatly enhance the at home viewing experience. Kendo also does good to add in classy instrumental music during plot advancement parts. When setting up the dvd for viewing you'll also find language options for both the spoken dialogue as well as optional subtitles. If you are in the US, and prefer the actual French dvd you will find that it will play in American players, and that it contains a complete English audio soundtrack for those in English speaking countries. Of course there are several other language options for those who might not be American, or French as well.

Dorcelle, 1st Porn Site By Women, and for Women

This little update is for all the English speaking, and reading female porn enthusiasts out there. A while back I announced that Marc Dorcel released, through some close female sources a website that caters to only women's sexual needs, and desires. While Dorcel does good to keep his adult flicks gender neutral, and enjoyable for both sexes this website aims to offer more than just products for his dedicated female fan base. There's articles about the latest sex products, internet buzz, sex tips, and even music previews for those of you looking to find new tunes to listen to. Keep in mind that everything on the site is provided by women of the industry, and from a woman's perspective. It's an all inclusive blog style outlet for those curious ladies out there who are seeking to get better acquainted with sexual topics, and the industry itself. I should also state that while products from various sources are shown, and shared Dorcel does still keep his female audience in tune with the latest Dorcel dvd, and product offerings.

LENGTH: 1 hr 49 mins

DATE OF PRODUCTION: 2013

AUDIO/VIDEO: The audio, and video in this five scene presentation seem to be HD (High Definition), but specs aren't given during the film, or on the dvd cover. Regardless of that fact the picture quality maintains a clear, and vivid display despite the amateurish style of film capturing. The sound, while clearly audible also carries with it an amateur style feed that reflects the home video theme that each scene shares. Every scene ultimately contains crudely captured footage from the males' P.O.V. (Point of View) perspective. From time to time cameras are set down on nearby furniture so that both performers gain some time in the spotlight. Other times the Male performer holds the video recording device in hand to get an up close, and personal look at the girl in front of them. This type of filming carries with it a more realistic feel, and is void of any editing that would normally go along with a porn production. As far as the screen size goes the scenes are all displayed in a widescreen ratio that in no way intrudes upon the viewing experience.

6 Infirmieres Tres Accueillantes (Marc Dorcel)

STUDIO/PRODUCER: Marc Dorcel

MSRP: 34.99 (EURO) / 47.60 (US)

LENGTH: 1 hr 35 mins

DATE OF PRODUCTION: 2013

AUDIO/VIDEO: This film is an odd mixture of old, and new material. What I mean by that is that it has a lot of retro porn features, but also has a modern day look about it. The retro tidbits come in the form of old music, and seemingly retro style stripteases. On the plus side you will find some richly displayed video throughout as well as a seamlessly captured collection of camera angles. On the negative side the flashy, and often times intrusive pre-scene teases from the female cast members do not look like they belong to the rest of the scene. The soundtrack which seems to have been ripped from some obscure elevator music collection, and some 80's songs CD no one has likely ever heard of before makes for a proper audio train wreck.

AUDIO/VIDEO: Franck Vicomte really captured the ambient nature of each scene. The sound quality makes it sound as if you were right there on location. The wind, birds, and environmental sounds can be heard easily. Even the kissing, sucking, and fucking can be heard as if you were right there with the performers. As far as visual quality goes it was alright. It had that signature Dorcel clarity. The colors were vivid throughout, and as usual bodily imperfections were as noticeable as if the film had been shown in HD (High Definition). The director also captured every scene in a professional manner making sure to focus on both performers' bodies in their entirety. There were also some close-up shots from time to time to add emphasis on the sex acts that were taking place.

AUDIO/VIDEO: The audio, and video presentation in this film are of your standard Dorcel quality. Everything from the sound to the visuals are shown in the highest quality possible for the dvd format that it's on. It's as close to HD, and Blu-ray as you can get without actually being HD, or Blu-ray. While the film is still shown in the usual widescreen format you'll find that the picture is vivid, and that the scenes are all expertly captured. There's no sloppy camera angles, or amateurish filming to be found here.
