The only problem with that is that there are so many specific fetishes out there, that it's hard to make note of them all. I note what I notice, and while it might seem like an easy, simple thing, bear in mind the sheer number of scenes that get reviewed by the many reviewers here at ADT (who, by the way aren't paid to do them).

Personally, I can't say that I really notice footwear during the scene. I know I make a note of it when there is footwear that really stands out, like long PVC boots and the like, and I often will mention stockings, and sometimes shoes at the start of the scene, ie: "Soandso is posing while wearing pink lingere with stockings and heels." But what performers wear at the scene intro is often different to what they'll be wearing 5 minutes into the fucking, if you see what I mean.

I'd suggest that you might want to try writing some reviews yourself in your spare time, doing so you might find it's not quite that easy to take note and mention things which you don't even notice, though on the other hand, people who share your liking for bare feet will be well served by your reviews.

cheers,

But seriously, I have to agree partially with what was said earlier about everybody having their own fetish and we can't please everybody. That said, I enjoy feet and shoes. I don't mention them all the time because there are many times when you don't get much more than a glipse at them. Believe me, there are some directors who I know love shoes or has somebody do the costuming that loves shoes where I make a deliberate effort to check the shoes. There's also way too many generic shoes out there that just aren't worth mentioning.

I'm not looking for a detailed description of the foot ware involved. It makes sense to me that there wouldn't be a description for a scene not involving what fetishes are out there. In fact, it's quite the opposite as I prefer the girls not to have anything on during the scenes (just not into shoes and stuff during sex). I'm just saying a simple mention of the fact if she is or isn't wearing anything during the scene would suffice. :)

It may seem like just a 'simple statement' to you, but several people have mentioned that some things they simply don't notice or pay attention to, so they say nothing about it. If you read through the forums, you will find dozens and dozens of things (fetishes) that people like, or don't like, or hate. If reviewers tried to address all of them, there would be one heck of a 'laundry list' in each review when they tried to address all of them with 'just a simple statement'.

[Link]

I also can't understand why reviewers don't list a running time (who wouldn't want to know if a movie doesn't even last an hour and a half or if it goes over three hours???) or the director (give the same performers to Erik Everhard and Nicholas Steele and you're going to get what kind of difference????)...

If you're a serious foot guy I would suggest remembering the name Rod Fontana: He is a major foot fetishist and there is foot action in a lot of his performances.

--t
who has reviewed over 1000 videos and didn't pay much attention to feet in any of them, except the foot-fetish videos.

it isn't as simple to do as you would think though

I wonder why you would want to know for each movie, even ones that aren't made for feet fetishists, if the actresses wear shoes or not.

As it is, you should find reviews of films rather easy because bare feet will surely be mentioned, if they play a main role.

It's also not true that the "normal" connoisseur of blow jobs, assfucks and cumshots is easily satisfied by picking any porn movie even without searching through and reading any reviews, it only seems that way.

I feel your pain. I can be selective in my reviewing queue if certain male performers are present and I try to pass along the cast listing scene-by-scene in my reviews. However, there are plenty of DVD's where the male cast is not included in the credits nor is there a scene-by-scene cast listing.

Of course, there is also the problem of misspellings of cast members on DVD covers.

I mention the women's attire (stockings, lingerie, clothes etc. . .) since it is a simple way of adding variety to the scenes. I sometimes list shoes but can't guarantee that I'll always remember to do so, since they are usually not emphasized, are typically platform heels, and may not capture my attention. I will always mention stockings since I like the way they enhance a woman's appearance. I will also sometimes comment on their presentation (ie whether they are "all dolled up" or not). I agree with other reviewers who have mentioned that it is difficult to cover every single fetish in a review without the review becoming too long and time consuming to write and read.

I will always do my best to identify the males, but it is difficult if they are uncredited and are performing in a POV movie. Does anyone know who the male is that performs in all of the following POV films (I have reviewed several) for Devil's Films? (It's the same guy in all of them).
Swallow Me POV
Swallow Me POV 3
Squirt For Me POV
Squirt For Me POV 2
Squirt For Me POV 3
Squirt For Me POV 4
MILF POV
MILF POV 2

If no one here knows, I'll post in Star-Crossed.

One more question on reviews. How can I enhance my review presentation with different font sizes, color shadings, underlining, bold format, etc. . .? For example, I really enjoy reading Astroknight's reviews and would like to learn to do something similar if he doesn't mind. I think it would make my reviews easier to read.

Thanks for your time. I appreciate any comments but hope that I haven't hijacked this thread by going off topic.

I always note the director, when the info is available, on the other hand, I used to list scene length and overall movie length, but they got binned as sitting there watching the timecode was not fun and quite boring and time consuming.

I note when something is exceptionally long or short, but otherwise I figure a quality 2hours > an average 2hours 20mins, and so running time in and of itself isn't an important enough factor for me to note down anymore, especially as useless padding is so common and easy to do in porn movies, while adding nothing to the quality/content.

The running time on the back of the box is often dodgy anyway, and back covers can be found for pretty much anything on the internet anyway.

It pretty much comes down to each reviewer and their own personal likes and dislikes. I try to mention anything that stands out to me as good or annoying or offputting so things like non-outstanding shoes just don't get noticed as I'm pretty indifferent to feet or shoes. From the link to Selena's review, it appears that shoes falls into her own "notice zone", and that's cool, but different people notice different things.

On the other hand, I do my best to describe every scene, and avoid the "one paragraph review" style that I find is common on other sites linked by IAFD, because they really tell you nothing about anything.

I am realtively new to this sport, according to many of you ADT and non ADT adult movie reviewers who I personally appreciate and admire. A Woman's attire is similar to a wellworked garden, full of delicious erotic fruits. Every part of her body has its own characteristic smell, sense or erotic flavour. Woman's sleak silky-skin feet is one of the most sensual instruments of her overall silhouette and sexual behavior. Its shape is beautiful, its moves are elegant and sometimes it can be very expressive when the sexual position or the circumastances demand it. I personally love this part of a girl's body naked or covered with a classy smooth fabricated pair of stockings. However I believe that a chic elaborated shoe also expands and exposes nicely her leg's attractive shape, though I agree if you want to proceed to fetish activities like toe-licking it must be properly uncovered. Like you lickitysplit there is a respectable amount of other viewers who wish for us to inform them, through our reviews, about their own individual fetish activity. Although I love to remark small sexy details that elevate the scene's sexual appeal it is practically impossible to write them all down. The Chinese use to say one picture is worth thousand words. Imagine how many words a 25 or more minute video clip worth... Still, without promising anyhting I will try to do my best lickitysplit to emphasize in some notable foot fetish activities.

As for the male talent's role to a visually pleasant adult scene, my opinion is that is as much as significant as the female's one and occasionally even more. Although for some others it may seem a little bit odd, many of the male viewers including myself have our personal male pornstar heroes whose sexual skills and love-making attitude we really admire. I strongly claim that a male performer's ability to unveil and expose his pretty partner sexual's behavior and maintain the overall eroticism, heat and rhythm of the scene is quite essential. So I do agree much with the male's name listings inside the review. On the other hand I will honestly confess to you that some times I had to read other reviewers work in order to supplement a specific man's name into my review. Sorry, but I am not very well informed about some guys adult appearances.

Reverse it...and play it again!

For those reviewers who don't mind, thanks a lot.

If anything, I guess I'll just make a thread in the future where I'll just ask on specific female performers.

Don't think that will be a bad idea.

[Link]

But anyway, that's pretty much what I was talking about. A simple mention and that's all. Be nice if more reviewers applied something similar. :)

I had never heard of Mario Cassini before now although I was familiar with the name Phil Yergash. Thanks again.

I feel the same way as Licketysplit. The barefoot issue is important enough to me to affect how I buy. There are certain good directors, whose product I still don't buy because they shoot women in shoes or boots that never come off. I don't mind if the actresses start out in shoes -- but I prefer to see the shoes come off before the scene ends. Christoph Clark used to do this in the early Euro Angels. And Kickass pictures has it as their policy, which works for me.

It's hard to tell from boxcover/dvd case. So it's appreciated when a reviewer lets me know if the shoes come off and if the actress is barefoot, etc. It's not so hard.

As Masamune said, Selena Silver does this as part of her reviews, very neat and efficient and it's no skin off her nose, evidently.
