Prior to AVN changing their web site, their entire video and DVD review database was available online. It now looks as only the current months reviews are available.

Does anyone know if this is still publicly accessible, or if it can be accessed through one of their subscription services?

I did email them with the question, but don't know if I will get a response.

RobHammer,

I've been wondering the same thing myself.

And I just can't figure out why AVN redesigned their website -- because the new design, with its visual clutter, lost functions, and general user-unfriendliness, REALLY SUCKS!!!

I must agree, I'm a retailer and don't bother wading thru the garbage at AVN.

RobHammer - I am going to try and find this out myself. One year AVN put out a CD in their January issue that was a Database of the previous years reviews. I am sorry to say they only did it for that one year but kept wondering if you could obtain copies elsewhere now.

At least for gay material, AVN reviews are essentially worthless anyway: advertising $$$ equate to excellent reviews of awful videos.

If you click on the "This Month's Reviews" link from AVN.com, you will see a search engine you can use to search past reviews. If you select a specific category under the "This Month's Reviews" heading on AVN.com, you will need to click the "Search Reviews" link in order to access the search engine for past reviews.

Should you have any other questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reply.

Search for:

Movie Title: White Lightning 0 results

I posted this question at Adult DVD Talk and another member replied wondering the same thing.

Thanks,
Rob Hammer

From what I understand, we have at least a few months worth of reviews currently available.... Unfortunately, I don't have a date as to when the remainder of our reviews will be available, as well. I apologize for any inconvenience this delay may cause.

RobHammer,

Thanks for taking the initiative with AVN and passing along the info to the rest of us!

Hopefully, they really are trying to fix things over there. However, the precise reason why the change in AVN's website design caused a loss of user access to its data base of reviews is very unclear to me (and to everyone else who previously used the site, I'd guess).
