Hey gang, just wanted to give you a head's up. I just finished reviewing this title and ended up issuing a Whackmeister Seal of Approval to it. This is the first one I've issued in almost 6 months.

If you're a Frank Thring fan this is easily his strongest work in years. And if you're a lingerie fan, you'll be in heaven with this dvd. Anyway, check my review for more details!

Already read your review with great interest, as I really do like lingerie, shoes, legs and feet. And I really do enjoy Thrings Private Work.

Still, what I do miss in your review are descriptions of involved sex acts. It sounds very vanilla, no dp at all, ot even anal, but maybe I am wrong...

Please tell me more! Thanks!

Those lingerie fans better not complain about too many scenes being barefoot because they already got enough series now *LOL*

I'm not a Thring fan, he's too much into leather and rubber for my taste.

I've recently started taking a different tack to my reviews. I was, quite honestly, tired of just rehashing a play-by-play of what acts were committed by whom in each scene. I decided to take a new tack of only mentioning the items that I though made the scene stand out (for good, or for bad). It makes my reviews a lot less mechanical, and frankly, a lot more enjoyable to write.

What does everyone think? Do you like the new format? I might consider subtle changes, though I doubt that I will go back to just doing a walkthrough of each scene.

Feedback is solicited and welcomed!

I like it aybesea. Go for it.

Especially if it makes the reviews easier and more enjoyable to write.

I like the new review style Ayb. I have not so recently changed to a more abbreviated (for me) review format myself--more enjoyable for me, less time consuming, and like you I welcome any feedback.

Now... as for this release... I have to say. Mixing Frank Thring with an emphasis on one of my absolute favorite body parts aside from a pretty face is darn near irrisistable. I'm going to have to give this one a try. I don't know when I'll be able to do it, but when I can, I'll try to plunk down some rental money. :)

abc, a few questions please. Any strap on in Sandra's scene? ...no girl does anal right? ..Usually in Thring's videos the scenes are very short (11-12 minutes) is this fetish video the same? Thanks for the feedback!

1) No strap ons.
2) There is anal in the last two scenes.
3) About 15-20 min per scene.

Because I don't believe that the focus of this movie was the anal, I really didn't bother with it. Don't get me wrong, it was attractive. But the sense I got from this flic was of gorgeous girls, hot lingerie, and sensuous seductions... not just anal rooting.

If you guys think I'm way off the mark with this approach, I want to know. But I'm really trying to capture the essence of the flic a little better. Hmmm... well I'm sure I'll adapt this slightly until I'm happy with the compositions of my reviews. But I really need to convey a little more of the mood than I feel I have in the past. At least I think so.

You are not off the mark, as I think the reviewer shall be entitles to enjoy his reviewing/writing reviews. But, honestly, I would appreciate it very much if you could include a short mechanical listing of the acts à la CAVR. This would help me a lot (and take you a very short time, I hope).

...but thanks for your reviews anyway.

Shameless,

Let me wrestle with this. I'll try to find a way to do a synopsis. I want my reviews to be short, sweet, fun and useful!

.mmmmmm okay, I wanted to stay away from this thread but since you are asking: I haven't say this before but I like your reviews and the way you did the Hustler one is fine. But one think that I always ask of reviewers is that besides writing for themself is to please remember. You are making a public service either you wanted or not. As a public service you at least should mention in a very brief manner if there is anal or any circus act in the scene. That way you have fun writing your review (the way it should be) but at the same time you are helping someone else (that already know the girls and know that they are gorgeous) make a pick. ..In my case, I'm very intersted in this new Hustler series but if you make me choose between Adamo and Thring, I think I'll take Adamo. Thring's editing leaves a lot to be desire sometimes. But with those girls on the cover is hard to say No ....Let me give you an example of what I'm trying to say: In Rame there is a guy that makes reviews all the time. The guy hates anal, dps. The guy despise everybody that like that kind of ses acts. the guy can't hide his contempt for the euro whores everytime he sees one in the videos he watch. For him all raincoater are helpless losers. But even after all of that. When he writes his reviews after all the bashing and all the insults. He will let you know if the the "euro whore" took a facial, if she took it up the ass or if she was dp'ed in a brief manner. Do you know why the guy bothers to do that even thou he hates all that stuff? ...because he is a Reviewer First and he knows that even people that don't agree with him and pretty much hate his guts read his reviews <To Find Information>. ..I don't know if you guys are getting what I'm trying to say but at least I tryed. ..I hope I didn't get across as harsh or anything like that, if I did, I apologize.

Wally,

Thanks and I appreciate the feedback. As I said to Shameless, I'll find a way to incorporate some sort of list for those that like it. And I truly do appreciate the comments.

OK to start I have to say I'm not sure I'm in a postion to comment - after all I have written no review and I presume you have done many - so who am I to comment ?

That said you did ask .. LOL .

I too would like to see more of the mechanics and what sex acts are contained.

Having quickly skimmed through your review I came away with a mental image of a soft core flick more akin to playboy, and I'm sure it isnt like that.

I go through phases where I am heavily into things, and my tastes widden with time. I am into anal in a very big way and feel cheated if there isn't anal in evry scene.

Therefore a review like this one leaves me with no idea whether I would be interested in this film or not and would have to seek other reviews to answer that question.

For an eg I was really keen on a RLD title from the preview on another disc however when I read in a review that of all the scenes only 2 contaibed anal I lost interest.

So for me I need to know these things

Thats my 2 cents worth

Yah I have to agree with what some others have said here - your review of Leg affair certainly piqued my interest, but there's just not enough information there for me to use it to decide whether it's something for me to buy or not.

To me it's the kind of review that gets me interested enough to make me look for a second review, so I can try to find out what happens in the DVD.

I'm not trying to flame at all, but I honestly am not sure if the first and third scenes (Christal/Estella) listed are solo mast scenes or b/g. Likewise I can't work out if the second scene {Sandra & Michelle } is g/g or b/g/g.

I also like to know if there is/are anal/DP/facials/condoms/things I try to avoid before spending money on a disc, and sadly this format doesn't help me personally much at all.

Again, not to flame but the info included in this specific review to me the whole review could just be summarised as "6 scenes where all the girls are beautiful and all the sex is hot", which is nice, but not having seen the DVD, could mean anything and doesn't tell me much.

Just to clarify, I don't need a walkthrough play-by-play or a list of all positions performed, but I do like to know what happens as well as rough running times for the scenes.

It's your review in the end of course and you can write them however you like. I don't want to seem like I'm coming down on you or anything silly like that, it's just that living in a non-rental country I can't just check something out for a few bucks, I have to make my purchase choices carefully, and sadly this format is not useful to me at all besides piquing my interest enough to look for another review, or look for the boxcover and try to work things out from there.
(this is why I'll sometimes make specific "has anyone seen XYZ" posts asking about DVDs I'm considering but can't find info on.)

hope this is taken as mildly constructive at least

cheers,

scipio

OK, you guys spoke & I listened. My latest 4 reviews are posted and I have migrated back to my "retro" style. Enjoy!

I have already noticed your new readability. Thanks! But let me say, I would not have minded your more free style with a technical summary at the end, as I proposed.

...anyway, most I enjoy your new avatar-girl anyway!
(Just a pity, I cannot see her pussy from more closely)

I agree with Shameless,

I'd also find your newer style with just the details seperately to be just fine from my perspective. I like to know what happens but don't need it "as it happens" to be useful.

Just out of interest, are any of the scenes in H2's Leg affair g/g only? You seriously piqued my interest with that one.

cheers,

scipio

Yup, Sandra Shine's scene is G/G. I haven't had the time to watch the entire movie, but here are my two reactions so far:
1) If she ain't holding out for other reasons, Larry Flynt needs to pay Ms. Shine whatever it takes to do B/G.
2) The whole foot fetish thing is a mystery to me. I mean, do people whack off to a close-up of one girl applying toenail polish to another right smack dab in the middle of a lesbo scene? Maybe I shouldn't complain; it's rather tame and innocent as far as fetishes go in porn these days.

Thanks for the info, Clarence. It hadn't clicked to me that the "Sandra" from this DVD is the (in)famous g/g-only Sandra Shine.

Asyb's review is still the only one of thise title around on the web too (via rame.net at least).

cheers,

scipio
