19 ans ... Jeune Escorte (Marc Dorcel)

GENRE: Teens, Escort, Prostitutes, Group Sex, Threesomes, Public

DIRECTOR: Philippe Soine

STUDIO/PRODUCER: Marc Dorcel

MSRP: 34.99 (EURO) / $39.15 (US) 

DATE OF PRODUCTION: 9/12/2014

LENGTH: 1 hr 35 mins

AUDIO/VIDEO: This time around I played the dvd on my HDTV for a more accurate, and current presentation critique. The film, from the main menu forward looked excellent, and functioned as it should with the exception of some slightly grainy screens that were no doubt caused by the camera that was being used in the shoot. Both the scenes, and the menus were displayed in a 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio that in no way took away from the intended viewing experience. The lighting therein was stunning, and up to par with films by Dorcel's more noteworthy directors. The fleshly details of performers were more visually enhanced, and flaws on their skin could easily be seen. Compared to a viewing on a tube television this effect was greatly enhanced. As far as the sound goes it was done well for the most part. The narrative featured a younger voice actress that matched the physique of the onscreen Daniella, and could be heard in various languages via the audio setup in the main menu. English being one of them. Along with the accompanying narratives there were also what I like to call Godzilla-like orgasms/vocal expression. By that I mean the sexual moans of ecstasy were like the mismatched audio from a Godzilla movie. It did hurt the quality of the presentation somewhat. Other than that I think Philippe Soine, and his crew did alright for themselves.

CAST: Daniella Rose, Vanda Lust, Scarlett Hope, Gina Blond, Pascal St. James, Tom Crusio, Pascal White, Jean Pallett

GENRE: Roleplay, Fantasy, Feature, Maids, European, All Sex

DIRECTOR: Herve Bodilis

STUDIO/PRODUCER: Marc Dorcel

MSRP: 34.99 (EURO) / $38.91 (US) 

DATE OF PRODUCTION: 2015

LENGTH: 1 hr 40 mins

AUDIO/VIDEO: Oddly enough this screener had the same issue as the last in that it's menu navigation was offset due to ratio sizing. When the actual film played out though things appeared as they should, and did so in a slight widescreen format. The visuals for the most part were of the impressive near Blu-ray quality that I have always praised Herve Bodilis, and Dorcel studios for. The only exception to that was the aerial footage that seemed grainy. I figure the new drones that directors are using for these distance angles aren't as great as that of an actual studio camera. While that is a bit bothersome to look at there are only a couple of instances of it, and in no way hurt the scenes that are shown throughout the feature length film. As far as the soundtrack goes the sexual audio tidbits are clearly audible as is the rustling of clothing articles as they are removed from the performers' bodies. To accent the action Herve Bodilis has also stepped up his game to include some more modern sounding music. I find it more interesting than the 70's style romantic/erotic porn tunes that a lot of Dorcel directors incorporate. For those of you curious about the dialogue options fret not as there are no words spoken within the film. It's all about actions, and reactions. Overall the film is a perfect mixture of noteworthy visuals, and audio.

Family Lies Volume 2 (Desperate Pleasures)

GENRE: Taboo, Family, Roleplaying

DIRECTOR: JW Ties

STUDIO/PRODUCER: Desperate Pleasures / Pure Play Media

MSRP: $22.99 (http://www.adultdvdempire.com/1729984/family-lies-vol-2-porn-movies.html)

DATE OF PRODUCTION: 2015

LENGTH: 1 hr 34 mins + 2 Bonus Scenes

AUDIO/VIDEO: JW Ties, and Desperate Pleasures upped the ante with this particular dvd presentation, if ever so slightly. For the most part the content warning, and scene delivery were more professionally edited than before. There were no repetitive content warnings showing up onscreen in between scenes, and JW Ties actually included an official logo for his brand name this time around. Each scene was neatly cut, and presented in a quality that is not kin to the studio's more "Studio-like" quality. Camera angles were also captured in a more professional manner with a slight hint of amateurish photography on the cameraman's behalf. Once again the studio also tried some artistic touches with various screen sizes, and color swaps that added a sort of memory reflection appearance to one of the main character's flashbacks. The title menu also looked more professional, and less like something you'd find included with store shelved movie editing software.

CAST: Camile Black, Kate England

CONDOMS: None
