Girls of the Internet
Released in DVD by Image Entertainment (26 January, 1999)
MPAA Rating: NR (Not Rated)
Average review score:

A few good scenes, but ...
This DVD wasn't good enough to buy. I rented it, and it had a few good scenes. As the previous reviewer mentioned, there is a nice Jacqueline Lovell bathtub segment with another girl here, probably the best segment of the whole DVD.

There were quite a few attractive girls here, but many were small-chested. If you have a preference for smaller women, you might enjoy this one. I don't remember seeing any Playmates or any other Playboy models. Most of the girls here were unknowns.

There were several scenes here, maybe 12 or 13, and some were cut together really short. One really cute Asian girl had a 1 minute segment only.

Another Playboy DVD that is worth a rental, but not worthy of buying and keeping in my collection.

I thought I'd see more "software"
This is a fair effort from Playboy. Most of the scenes involve women pushing away from their computers so they can dance about while removing their clothes. Pretty boring. There is one great bit with Jacqueline Lovell (of the famous "Roommates" chapter of "Freshman Class") sharing a bath with another nice looking woman.

Solid
This DVD was very good I think. It didn't have bonus features like some of the other Playboy DVD's, though. The women were very attractive and their were plenty of them. I reccomend this if you just like to see beautiful naked women because the " plot " was pointless. Even though I can't imagine anyone being interested in the story.


Jigsaw
Released in DVD by (19 November, 2002)
MPAA Rating: R (Restricted)
Directors: Don Adams (II) and Harry James Picardi
Average review score:

horrendous
who cares if the actors are "fun"! the movie was absolutely horrible. and of course what do you come to expect from full moon pictures though? really not much! almost the whole movie takes place around a bar, eww how exciting, no its really not exciting. even though the concept seemed like it was going to be interesting the dialogue and story was poorly written so not much here except disappointment. very boring flick. wouldn't recommend this movie to my worst enemy.

Low budget, but high entertainment!
I really enjoyed this movie. The girls were hot. The story was interesting. The students of a college class puts together "Jigsaw," a mannequin that comes to life, and hacks them up to pieces. This isn't Shakespear. It's better!

I love this movie. it's so cool
Jigsaw is one of the coolest psychological thrillers ever. Most people will call it a horror movie, but it's more than that. It's not just a monster hacking away at horny teenagers. You get to know the characters very well and you actually care for most of them. I was at the world premeier and met all the actors. it was fun. I highly recomend you guys buy this movie. it rocks! Even though the horror and scary stuff dosn't happen until the last 35 minutes, it's still really good. The first half is also interesting. It explains the characters backrounds and such before they are set to slaughter, it's actually kind of intersting. My favorite character was Tawny, she was the cutest and the best. I hope she becomes famous one day.


Striking Resemblance
Released in DVD by Image Entertainment (07 September, 1999)
MPAA Rating: R (Restricted)
Director: Kelley Cauthen
Average review score:

NOT BAD PRETTY GIRLS AND LOTS OF ACTION
For its genre, I thought this film was pretty good; it has gorgous women and lots of action. I saw it on Cinemax the other evening where it can be taped. I recommend it highly.

The acting is not bad at all, I think.

SEE KIM YATES DO A STRIPPER DANCE
An excellent soft core plot driven film with Ms. Gain as a detective.

For me, the best part was seeing the soft core star Kim Yates do an exotic dancer routine.

Gian is G-orgeous!
In the movie Nicole Gian plays two parts. Big deal. What is a big deal is that she is HOT! As the title aptly suggests, Nicole is STRIKING. The story is very average, as is the acting. I may not buy it, but I most certainly would watch it.


1994 Video Playmate Calendar
Released in DVD by Image Entertainment (21 July, 1998)
MPAA Rating: R (Restricted)
Average review score:

standard fare Video Calendar
This is your standard fare Playboy Video Calendar, with 12 Playmates getting 4-5 minutes of screentime, split between 2 video segments each.

A majority of the Playmates here haven't appeared in any other DVDs, so most of them are not well known. Anna Nicole Smith is probably the most well-known of the ladies, but I'm not much of a fan of hers.

The other blondes on this DVD are really hot, like Kimberly Donley, Barbara Moore and Tiffany Sloan (who both have also appeared on the Wet & Wild Locker Room DVD), and Ashley Allen (also seen on the Girls of Hawaiian Tropic DVD). Echo Johnson and Nicole Wood are also blondes who have decent video segments here.

The lovely Asian Playmate, Morena Corwin, makes her debut here, and she appears in many Playboy DVDs, like Blue Collar Babes DVD and Asian Exotica DVD.

We also get to see two lovely brunettes in Jennifer LeRoy and Alesha Oreskovich, who only appear on this Playboy DVD. Amanda Hope is a lovely redhead, and Stephanie Adams is a perky African-American Playmate.

It's not a great DVD, as it's much shorter in length than the newest 80+ minute 2000 and 2001 Video Calendars, but if you're looking for a good collection of beautiful women, this is a nice choice that you can't go wrong with.

Another Classic
This is another classic video calendar, a must for the calendar collector, and it features a lot of stunning playmates.


Airspeed
Released in DVD by Platinum Disc Corportation (10 November, 2000)
MPAA Rating: PG (Parental Guidance Suggested)
Director: Robert Tinnell
Average review score:

AIR(port 1975) + Speed (2) = Airspeed
Not much new here. It's all been done before. The title says it all. Same plots, for the most part. You're better off getting Airport 1975 and, if you must, Speed 2. Good for an afternoon popcorn movie though. Just make sure you have enough to keep you occupied.

Not Just Any Airplane Movie!!!!!
Okay, yes you have people flying in a plane and all of a sudden something happens, but this in not your ordinary airplane movie nor is it your ordinary DVD. Elisha Cuthbert (Are You Afraid Of The Dark) stars as Nicole, a 13-year-old spoiled daughter of parents who own a software company. On her way to her parent's convention, the plane she is traveling in with two of her relatives gets hit by lightning, knocking the pilots and everyone on the plane oncouncious except for her, and not to mention, making a hull-breach in the plane. Now it is up to Nicole to, of course, take matters into her own hands. She has many helpful tools and air-tower support to survive. Will she make it? You will never know unless you buy this DVD now from Amazon.com! This unique DVD comes in a very unique jewel case which is thinner than any case I have seen and saves space on the shelve. Upon inserting the DVD, the main menu has tons of action immediately. All the scene selections are displayed in full movie motion so you can easily see what you need to jump to without the hassle of guessing. Excellent movie score. Great acting Elisha!


The Good Sex Guide (Series 1)
Released in DVD by Bfs Entertainment & Multimedia (30 January, 2001)
MPAA Rating: NR (Not Rated)
Directors: Richard Trayler-Smith, Mike Adams, and Martin Head
Average review score:

not worth the money
This video series was not what I thought it would be. I was lookin for a technique video, very visually orientated. This was a series of campy skits on buying a vibrator and where the clitoris is. The only reason it gets two stars is because it is so stupid it is funny. If you want to watch English people talking about sex and not doing it then this series is for you.

Interesting and entertaining.
An interesting look at a subject most people won't even talk about. A intelligent learning alternate to the triple x movies teenagers look to for sex advice.


The McCullochs
Released in DVD by Anchor Bay Entertainment (08 February, 2000)
MPAA Rating: PG (Parental Guidance Suggested)
Director: Max Baer Jr.
Average review score:

Quiet Man Rip, yeah right...
Leonard Maltin is a stick in the mud. This is not wonderful but it is totally fun and sleezy to watch. It has a great fight scene that lasts about ten minutes and at any rate if you like Max Baer's work you'll probablly like this film. It ain't no ODE TO BILLY JOE, but few things are. Max Baer is a real visionary and auteur in his own right. I love his films.

What do you get when you cross International Playboy
Jethro Bodine's literary talent, Corporal Agarn's running buddy from F-Troop, Robby, AND Uncle Charlie from My Three Sons, the midget from High Plains Drifter, Frank Nitti from St.Valentines Massacre, the Baker from the Godfather,Madame Queenie from Amos and Andy, the Indian's manager from Major League, and the Creature From the Black Lagoon's leading lady??? Trouble with a capital "T" that's what by doogies!

We begin this lovely trip through the last bastion of stereotypes that the mention of which still gets a laugh, instead of a cap being popped in your a$$....the white Southern male. We begin with Forrest Tucker, all hopped up on Old Forrester I suppose, beating the hell out of another 65 year old character actor that is enjoying getting beat up more than anyone I've ever seen. Actually it's the same guy that played the down and out boxer who was always getting whipped and losing his eyesight but ironically had no other means of paying his doctor bills so he had to keep fighting anyway. Makes sense to me. A few minutes later Forrest continues to make us all proud by dropping the top on his red convertible, and knocking down most of a pint of whiskey as he zips through a number of school zones on his way home to grab him a handful of the little lady, played juicily by a still gorgeous Julie Adams. Very nimbly, with yet another glass of whiskey in one hand, and Julie's rapidly unbuttoning blouse in the other hand he is informed that they are having "green beans" for dinner...all of a sudden his lust is diverted to pork chops and so he pats his wife on the ass as she dutifully, and mercifully trots off to rustle up some dinner. Scuse me, I mean supper--dinner is lunch down here. But before the supper bell rings, Forrest gets a call to advise him that one of the Rhodes Scholars that works for his trucking company had a head on collision as he crashed through a RR barrier, but he was relieved to hear he beat the train with some nifty driving, thus validating why they must have hired the guy in the first place. The driver survived though and one can only speculate that the brain damage he suffered could not have been such a terribly tragic thing. Hang on, that's just the first 5 minutes.

SPOILERS AHEAD. You had to expect that though, I have to share.

Jethro/Culver has a chip on his shoulder from his own personal stereotyping, and the fact that he had to wear a rope for a belt all those years. No vittles here, just the old man's daughter. Oooohhh, this is going to get ugly. And he displays none of the range we were so accustomed too on the Beverly Hillbillies. Takes this writer/director/star thing a little too seriously I think, that could be the reason old man McCulloch hates him so much. Or it could be that statutory rape thing with the 18 yr old daughter? You just know that the old man wants to punch our fledgling brain surgeon in his medula obadala but he is a very classy guy so he defers so he can go spar with his 16 yr old son. Plenty of drunken drag racing, drunken hay riding, and drunken strip poker, and more drunken ass whooping to go around. And if you're a fan of the "beating up your kids is the only way to make them a man" genre you will love this thing.

I won't reveal any of the good parts (giggle snort) but the highlight of the movie is a "homeric" showdown/street brawl, Culver vs. McCulloch and a major, big time ripoff of the Quiet Man complete with odds savvy old ladies, gambling/guzzling priests, and even an old man on his death bed who is miraculously resuscitated by the sound of whooping and hollering as one more right cross lands on it's target. Oh yeah, the contestants even stop to have a beer before resuming the slugfest. I'm not going to tell you who wins the fight but considering Ellie May used to tie Jethro up like a pretzel everytime he'd complain about her biscuits...well, it's the high spot of the (gulp) film so I'll keep that one secret. Clint Eastwood likewise rips off Jethro in Any Which Way You Can. I'm dangerously close to surpassing my vast film knowledge here so I better not draw any more parallels OK?

Believe it or not, the DVD transfer is fantastic and the soundtrack rivals movies like Giant and Hurry Sundown. It's very, very good Jethrine. I like this movie. Somebody slap me but I like this thing. It's really very funny. I've actually never been so hammered that I forgot the words to Old McDonald but in McCullochWorld your punishment is getting dumped out of the bed of a pickup to have your wife turn the sprinklers on you as you simulate a coma on the front lawn. 4 Stars, only cause they just don't make em' like this anymore.


The Sweetest Thing (Rated Version)
Released in DVD by Columbia Tristar Hom (20 August, 2002)
MPAA Rating: R (Restricted)
Director: Roger Kumble
Starring: Cameron Diaz, Christina Applegate, and Thomas Jane
Prudes, beware! Despite its tendency to take the comedic low road, The Sweetest Thing is a near-perfect product of the new-millennial Hollywood. That's a backhanded compliment, but as a fun-loving Yankee girl's answer to Bridget Jones's Diary, the mainstream pandering of Nancy Pimental's lucrative screenplay is undeniably effective. On the opening soundtrack, Macy Gray's "Sexual Revolution" is a perfect accompaniment to gyrating guy-dumper Christina (Cameron Diaz), whose fear of commitment is tested when she meets Peter (Thomas Jane) and knows he's Mr. Right. With supportive gal-pals Courtney (Christina Applegate) and Jane (Selma Blair), she plots to snag the guy, and the movie's road-trip detour mines gut-busting gold from gags involving incriminating dress stains, oral sex, rotting food, garish clothing, and the simple joys of old-fashioned romance. Perfectly cast, raucously ribald, and conventionally charming, The Sweetest Thing is a schizophrenic comedy, but its dual personalities are irresistibly in synch. --Jeff Shannon

Would Give Zero Stars if Possible
I watched this movie last night on HBO and was looking forward to it since it takes place in San Francisco. I had read the poor reviews when it came out in theaters but figured there must be something redeeming about it given its setting. I was so wrong! How this movie ever got made it beyond me, particularly since its stars are well-known. No, I'm not a prude. This movie was just plain stupid. I'll admit I turned it off about halfway (embarrassed that I even made it that far). And all I could think is that hundreds of people must have been involved in the production of this thing. Didn't someone along the way ever say, "Hey, wait a minute, this is really, really horrible"?

The secret life of woman
I LOVE THIS MOVIE. The best thing about it is that it's true true true. Anyone who spend every weekend clubbing has to know how true this movie is. The games we have to play. The built in support we become to each other. This movie is basiclly the up and downs of dating or the lack their of in your 20's and the point you get when you want to stop playing the "game" The only question is how do you stop playing the game and not get burned? This movie is the funniest road trip to that answer.

Hilarious!!
This movie is worth every penny. I have watched it over 15 times and I have only owned it for 3 weeks. Christina Applegate, Cameron Diaz, and Selma Blair are hilarious is the film. I think its on of the all time best romantic comedies, especially if your a teen.

Serving Sara (Full Screen Edition)
Released in DVD by Paramount Home Video (28 January, 2003)
MPAA Rating: PG-13 (Parental Guidance Suggested)
Director: Reginald Hudlin
Starring: Matthew Perry, Elizabeth Hurley, and Bruce Campbell
Matthew Perry is a gifted comic actor whose style works nicely on TV but somehow hasn't translated into movie success. To change the formula a bit, Serving Sara puts Perry in a slightly scruffier mode, and pairs him with an actress whose sexiness and comic aplomb should be a good counterpart to his wonderfully shticky style: Elizabeth Hurley. And it still doesn't work. This one is set in the exciting world of process-serving, where Perry teams up with jilted wife Hurley to sting her rich husband (reliable goof Bruce Campbell). This screwball plot might have worked if the two stars evinced any chemistry together, and if director Reginald Hudlin knew how to set up a scene. Bright spot: Cedric the Entertainer, as Perry's boss, gets laughs just from doing the tiniest bits of business while seated behind his desk. No small thing in a movie that otherwise labors. --Robert Horton
Average review score:

Stupid, dumb, pointless.
This movie looked really good and the previews were funny. So I decided to see it. What a mistake! This movie confused me from the beginning to the end, and guess what? All the funny scenes are given away in the previews. I dozed off and not because I was tired. Don't waste a movie night, don't watch this movie.

Worth seeing
Serving Sara (2002) is a love story with many comic/tragic interludes.

Joe (Matthew Perry) is a process server who delivers legal papers and has a clueless life (makes wine at home but never seems to get it right for once). One day he serves elusive Sara (Elizabeth Hurley). But he has no idea what that was about and going to change his life and his Vineyard dream.

It's unquestionable there are some vulgar, absurd, "sad" moments in the movie; yet these numerous "tragic" events are there only to push the theme even further. Some direction here too may only be so much arduous as its succinctness and directness approaches the near "ancient" tragedy in the sense of Romans and Greeks. Much of it has to be sour, salty, melancholy in order to remove in the process some. As far as screen play goes there are some moments of pause and poetic inter-weavings do connect some loose moments and recovers for the audience some sense of momentum in the direction. Such scene as Joe pursuing Sara in the mid-town Manhattan, the plot-factoring by a "painting" (or life-size "canvas") which divides Joe and Sara, the secondary "key-tossing" between Joe and Sara, the inflection point of Sara's English accent, Elizabeth Hurley's sensitive character-to-real-life juxtaposition, no longer get the same disinterested response from me (so as the scenes involving the romance between Sara and Joe). Everything in this movie somehow coalesces into a well-posed juxtaposition of characters. Some ambitious raillery such as scene involving "Bull's Hind" is a recapitulation against the salt and sour humor and perhaps a reconfiguration of figures (many vulgar scenes with buffoons or "comedians": now the ersatz version, "bull") in the context. If early English/Roman/Greek theaters had not been accused of its comic folly it has now been redeemed somewhat by such carefree and modern association.

A vindication of comedy can go a long way. Likewise the tragedy, its comic errors and sadness, many trivial interludes, the intermixing of judiciousness and absurdity, a modern screen play might want to extend itself further into an abandonment and perhaps the very absurdity itself. But this movie, Serving Sara, is a classy one with "classic" (sensitive, caring, vulnerable) actors (Matthew Perry and Elizabeth Hurley). Its supporting casts too are great. Every detail in this movie is weighed and measured with great care. The chain of events that are led to the final getting-together of Joe and Sara in the Vineyard are portrayed with rationale good enough to be called a poetic justice (the fact Joe's dream has come true). Even to the very ending, there is a tight grip of humanity in the material. This movie is a questionable masterpiece with good workmanship and artistry.

Loved it
Joe (Matthew Perry) is a process server who delivers divorce papers and has a clueless life (makes wine at home but never seems to get it right for once). One day he serves elusive Sara (Elizabeth Hurley). But he has no idea what that was about and going to change his life and his Vineyard dream.

I really loved Elizabeth Hurley, her BEING there, against all odds and appearances. Some tragic sadness is of small consequence when the movie later alters life without meaning to life with some meaning.
