Any opinions about this series. Good or bad, pros and cons.

I saw the first one and was really disappointed and am hesitant to rent, let alone buy, any of the others.

The Pros:
1. Solid female performers dolled up nicely.

The Cons:
1. Relatively short scenes - 10 minutes or less, if I recall correctly. I prefer longer scenes, even if it means fewer scenes.
2. Poor lighting.
3. Poor camera work, even for a POV movie. The DVD is evidence that shooting an OK, let alone good, POV scene requires skill. On occasion, the guy just gives up trying to shoot POV and puts the camera on the bed, which is even worse than a tripod. At least tripods don't shake all over the place with the action.
4. In general, the females do not seem to be very excited. This is not surprising.
5. The male is clearly not a performer, which helps explain why the scenes are so short. It also may explain why there is so much starting, stopping, and pulling out during the action.
6. Although my memory is a little hazy, I think the guy is a chatterbox or is otherwise noisy. Even if he isn't, reasons 1. through 5. above are enough to make me hesitant to watch another volume of this series, no matter how interested I am in the females.

In summary, POV Casting Couch is a great example of a lame POV DVD. It is a waste of really strong female talent.

There is also a review of another volume of this series at rogreviews.com. He was not impressed either.

Thanks for the input Walter. Am I dissapointed or what? You're right on target. The female talent really are tempting me to...

The guy gets all the hottest girls but my problem is the fact that there are too many girls in each volume meaning less screentime for each scene. It's better to have quality than quantity. I don't want longer scenes!

I also agree the camerawork could be better but then again most POV cameramen suck if your name is not Rodney Moore.

Walter,

I couldn't agree with you more. At least based on the first two volumes I saw.

The director/cameraman totally wastes the great talent with his horrible, horrible camera work. The BJs were OK I guess, but as soon he gets to the fucking (which is more of a challenge to film in good POV), he blows it with lazy camera
work.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. If you can't do POV right, then don't even try it at all. Just make a more "conventional" movie.
