| BIGmike B-I-G-m-i-k-e 2335 Posts 3/01 | I would like to know what everyone thinks about my reviews. [I am currently in the process of changing several early reviews that I did, but the ratings will, remain the same. Just making them more readable.] Plus, I am 2 reviews away from number 200. I've gotten quite a few comments/questions since I started to add the link to my e-mail. I am by no means a porn expert, but I do know a bit. So don't hesitate to ask a question, make a comment/complaint, or a suggestion. Tell me: Are they : Good? or Bad? Do they help you in your purchasing decisions : Yes? or No? Do they need improvement : Yes? or No? -Thank you. Topic Moved by - stephdunn on Jun 24 2002

| snowden porn Member London 648 Posts 11/01 | Well as you know your Service Animal reviews (1+2) lead me to purchase both so when I see your name against a movie review I will always read yours. Something I have seen someone else do which I like a lot is images from the films. Reviewer Kobiata does this and its a great tool. Lets you see what the girls look like etc. Not sure how much trouble that would be, Kobiata seems like the only person who does it but I like it a lot. I'll let you know when i think of anything else. Keep up the good work. |
| BIGmike B-I-G-m-i-k-e 2335 Posts 3/01 | Thank you for telling me I'm doing a good job with the reviews It's hearing those compliments that make me feel good that I have lead you, or anyone, in a good purchasing decision.

| BIGmike B-I-G-m-i-k-e 2335 Posts 3/01 | I try to include as much detail in my reviews, without going into exhaustive detail; (such as: what was said and by whom.) But I know that when I buy a DVD, I like to know a little bit about what goes on in the scene, to see if it has what I like. (example: Who gets what done to them and who does it to them. Occasionally I list how long the scenes are, like on comps, and others) I try to keep my reviews informative and to-the-point. (I will look into, maybe, putting a screen shot or two in my reviews. Right now it is too time consuming, but things change, so if I have time, I may put some screen shots in my reviews.) |

| BIGmike B-I-G-m-i-k-e 2335 Posts 3/01 | Anything I give an overall rating of 5 may have flaws, but not enough to affect the overall rating. Anything I give an overall rating of 4 or 4.5 will be highly recommended, but may have some flaws. Anything I give an overall rating of 3 or 3.5 will be good, but not great, and could could have a few or more flaws. Still recommended, but not as highly. Anything I give an overall rating of 2.5 will be lacking and could have several flaws. Anything I give an overall rating of 2 on, buy with extreme caution, if you dare. Anything I give an overall rating below 2 is highly avoidable. I also take all of the other ratings very seriously, if I give any other rating of a 2.5 or above, it will be good or great, but could also be lacking. I hope this helps you all to understand the method to my madness. ---BIGmike, over and out--- Edited by - BIGmike on Jan 19 2002 |

| Anal888 Member New England 17 Posts 12/01 | Your reviews are first rate. I just purchased based on one of your reviews. Detailed stuff is good in reviews. I want to know whether something is what I am looking for or not. Often times the promotional language from the producer is all that is available and that is written to sell the product. Too many times it does not accurately describe what the movie actually is. I have spent money ordering something that I thought was one thing (based on promotional language) and found out that was just hype and the DVD was lame. Another thing that I like about your reviews is that you let me decide whether or not I like something based on a description of what is happening in the movie. I don't like reviews where people try to tell me what I will and will not like. Thanks and keep up the good work and we'll keep reading! Putting the time in as you do to write a detailed review is great - instead of just typing a couple of lines about something. :) |
| BIGmike B-I-G-m-i-k-e 2335 Posts 3/01 | After exchanging emails with another member, I just had to buy the Everybody Wants Some DVD and I'm glad I did. I also reviewed the other two "Everybody Wants Some" DVDs, for all those who love all-girl all-anal action. Snake Pit I bought because I like Gregory Dark's style. -I've only only reviewed 14 DVDs, out of 81, that I felt deserved a 5.0 ---I'd rather be anywhere but here, but I’m here and not anywhere---

| BIGmike B-I-G-m-i-k-e 2335 Posts 3/01 | And in reply to the other forum, I will try to give a little less play-by-play. I'll do some commenting on performers looks, attitudes, and overall performance. I will also give more opinions on the directing and try to pick out flaws. Give more of my impression of the film. -afterall, I aim to please. I want people to take with them, from my reviews, the satisfaction that I provided the neccessary info to make a great purchase. I will not totally change my way of reviewing, but I will take constructive criticism. Which I have recieved a bit of lately. So let me know what you'll think about my new reviews. ---I'd rather be anywhere but here, but I’m here and not anywhere--- |
| tricia_devereaux Evil Angel DVD Patience is a virtue, but who wants to be virtuous? 4283 Posts 4/00 | if you could add in those things to your reviews, they would be near perfect. A person can skip through the play-by-play if they don't like it. But they rely on someone who's actually seen the video to know if the people are energetic, good looking. And you can add your opinions to the facts. i.e.: I didn't particularly find Jane Doe very attractive because I don't go for the silicone look. OR I love hard anal sex, and these girls obviously do too. |
| BIGmike B-I-G-m-i-k-e 2335 Posts 3/01 | I'll put play-by-play (abbreviated) This way "raincoaters" will get to read the action, to decide based on that. Those who want opinions, I will throw a bunch more in, on whether or not the DVD is worth it. And I will comment more on the sex, facial expressions, energy, etc... Let me know, through email or post in here, if you like my new style. ---I'd rather be anywhere but here, but I’m here and not anywhere--- |
| BIGmike B-I-G-m-i-k-e 2335 Posts 3/01 | (another two reviews deserving of a 5.0:) (I gotta say, I definitely made a good purchase recently, picking up some great titles.) Do you think these are a good reviews? I will be testing out a few other other formats, so let me know. ---I'd rather be anywhere but here, but I’m here and not anywhere--- Edited by - BIGmike on Feb 9 2002 |
| YogaGrrl self-removed user 757 Posts 12/01 | Oops! I accidentally posted the link to your review on the interracial thread, completely forgetting your feedback thread here in the polls. It's okay, though, because people who are searching for interracial titles will be able to find Heavy Metal more easily now, and it sounds like a great DVD! You've written 1 hex as many reviews as me, so I don't consider myself qualified to advise you on style. I did go back, though, and randomly read one of your reviews from about two weeks ago, so I could better see the differences. For what it's worth, I really like the change from scene breakdowns to scene highlights. I also think your subjective comments and insights are worth including, and I hope you continue to do so. It makes your reviews very interesting to read. I'm actually quite glad that different reviewers have different styles, and I always read as many different opinions as I can find before I make my purchases. |
| BIGmike B-I-G-m-i-k-e 2335 Posts 3/01 | Thank you, I am trying out another format, which will be seen tomorrow, I give the scene breakdown (abbreviated), for the "raincoaters", but I also give my thoughts on the performances and so on, right after the breakdown. I really enjoy positive feedback (or negative) whatever floats your boat. I hope I will get more feedback on my new approach. ---I'd rather be anywhere but here, but I’m here and not anywhere--- |

| BIGmike B-I-G-m-i-k-e 2335 Posts 3/01 | I love feedback, that is the only way to learn how to improve. ---I'd rather be anywhere but here, but I’m here and not anywhere--- |
| dumblonde Senior Member 2352 Posts 7/00 | I just wish I had the time to read more, as well as the reviews of all the excellent writers here. I too enjoy the different styles, and my own reviews vary as much as the flicks I've watched, it depends on my mood. I know myself, if I try to keep a certain format, or worry over too many details, it becomes too 'job like'. I've tried to keep less 'me' out of my reviews to include more technical details, and found this doesn't work for me. Keep up the good work Mike (and everybody!) |
| BIGmike B-I-G-m-i-k-e 2335 Posts 3/01 | A total of 17 out of 94 worthy of a 5.0

| bjs Member NC 184 Posts 10/00 | Your newer reviews are are a big improvement. I know I gave you some shit about your previous style, but hopefully something good came out of it. Having the blow-by-blow followed by your opinion is a great combination. Thanks for listening, and for the time you take to post these reviews. bjs |
| BIGmike B-I-G-m-i-k-e 2335 Posts 3/01 | I have cut back on the play-by-play, because, well, I agree it is kinda boring to read. I still give what goes on in each scene, just not in so much f*cking detail. -Glad you all like!- Thank you all for the positive feedback, it's good to know I perform a good service for my fellow porn fans. ---I'd rather be anywhere but here, but I’m here and not anywhere--- |
| BIGmike B-I-G-m-i-k-e 2335 Posts 3/01 | well, just to update, I have about 20 reviews to do, so this should be a busy month. I have four reviews done, but I am waiting for a while before I post em. So by the end of this week you should see a bunch of new reviews by me. As always I appreciate any feedback.... email me or post here... |
| BIGmike B-I-G-m-i-k-e 2335 Posts 3/01 | & John Leslie totally shocked me today with Fresh Meat 4, which is the first film that he directed, that I gave an overall rating of a 5 to! -I guess that the Fresh Meat series only has one strike against it from me, and I hope that it stays that way- I still have so many more reviews to do, so be on the lookout. And as always, I appreciate feedback... -Thank you. Edited by - BIGmike on Mar 17 2002 |

| BIGmike B-I-G-m-i-k-e 2335 Posts 3/01 | So anyway, I will be reviewing a lot more DVDs, and thought I would update you all, if you care. If not I will still tell ya... Ass Worship 2 is worthy of another overall 5. and Flesh Hunter 2 is also worthy of a 5, but since it won't play the last fricken chapter on my DVD-ROM, I have decided to wait to review it/post the review, though the review is basically done. ---BIGmike, over and out!--- |
| BIGmike B-I-G-m-i-k-e 2335 Posts 3/01 | I also purchased Perverted Point of View 3 along with that, both were excellent. Talk about going out with bang! The end of March saw me giving two DVDs directed by Jules Jordan an overall of a 5, as well as a 5 to a Diabolic DVD. Great way to close out a month. Now let's see if April will bring more winners!?!

| fizzy Member Norway 97 Posts 6/02 | I really like your reviews. I usually buy DVD's by checking out who stars in a film. So if i find a title with a perfomer i really like, i check out who has done reviews on that film, and i always choose you or Rogsreview first because you are very objective to how the film is. Most others talk shit about certain performers, i don't like that. You never do that. |

| BIGmike B-I-G-m-i-k-e 2335 Posts 3/01 | fizzy... Most others talk shit about certain performers, i don't like that. Niether do I. I try to always look for the best in a performer, even if I am not a fan of the person.
I love the gape and I have since I first saw a gape shot.

| BIGmike B-I-G-m-i-k-e 2335 Posts 3/01 | I've said numerous times that if I get around to reviewing this DVD, I would give it a 5... and that's just what I did.

| BIGmike B-I-G-m-i-k-e 2335 Posts 3/01 | I haven't gotten around to reviewing the second volume because I had to watch this one first, to see the incredibly cute Taylor Rain, and Sugar Kane, and a bunch of other newbies getting fucked. This one was very well done, and the bonus scenes were great as well. I have a few more reviews to complete, to end this month of reviews. I have a feeling that there will be a few more fives to hand out. ---BIGmike, over & out!--- |
