Easy Pick-up (1974)

First thing first, Easy Pick-up is a title made by SWV (there is no title card and they do that often) and it was certainly not made in 1974... going from the cast I'd say it is probably from 1972. 

Another cheap West Coast production shoot at one location, in theory two but the motel room is probably a room in the house. What makes it even worst is the fact that neither the sound recordist or the cameraman did a good job. Most of the time we hear nothing and more often than not the image isn't on focus.

The cast is ok, but nothing special as there are no real names in that one. Sure it's early seventies but few would know who are Tricia Opal, Maggie Matson or Kris Flanagan.

Again nothing special or memorable as there is hundreds of films like that who were made by film students in those days...

Just to please FB as they will pick the first picture for the preview and the bots don't like me much there.

Tricia Opal and Penny King.

Kris Flanagan.... yep his career was a short one.

Maggie Matson and Thad Watson.

Pete Fisher, just because I like that hat.

That one end with an orgy of six on one bed too...

The Lady's Bed Companions (1971)

In that anonymously made film John Holmes plays a door to door vibrator salesman and this is pretty much all for the film scenario. 

You know even a very simple scenario like that could make a good movie, but it didn't. Why? Because it's an excuse to show a never ending badly shot group orgy (six person on a small bed isn't that great to watch), really this orgy runs for over 35 minutes in a 50 minutes film. The movie stars Lynn Holmes (she got the only non-orgy scene) and Starlyn Simone which is a plus and there is some fun stuff like the guy (the iafd call him Jim) who came in a record time (20 seconds at most).

But honestly this isn't an essential viewing at all, unless you want to see everything with John Holmes.

Recognize that? After Hours Cinema use that car footages often to copyright their releases.

Jim Mayer without his wife / girlfriend in a film, something unusual but it's a short non-sex role.

Woman in Love (1981)

Another Kermal Horulu's drama starring Laurien Dominique. 

Christine (Laurien Dominique) is trap in a loveless mariage with her husband (Robert Kerman), see his focus in life is his work which isn't a bad thing per se but... So when Christine start a new job as a boutique salesgirl she will start her quest to find real love. First with Eric (Ron Jeremy) an artist she met at a party (which is of course an orgy) and next with Georgio (Paul Thomas), but none of those are what we can call success. 

Not as good as most Kermal Horulu's but the cast make it an enjoyable viewing. The problem is that at least two scenes looks like filler: the orgy at Georgio De Stefano's house and the where the hell this is coming from very lame s&m group show. Also we see the end coming from a mile.

But on the other hand, Laurien Dominique and Vanessa del Rio are great in this film and we get some very good New York cinematography by Larry Revene.

 

Erotika (1994)

After the death of her abusive father in a car accident Ashley (Samantha Strong) decide to quit her home and her Boyfriend (Vince Vouyer) to start a new life. Her trip will bring her from her old town (they never said where it is) to Las Vegas to Los Angeles and finally in the old continent.

One of the few good Garry Graver's films after the end of the golden age, for once we see that he cared about that one and that he had a budget to work with.  Of course we are far from the budget of the films he did in the early eighties, but there is a lot of outdoor shooting and it was shoot on film not on video.

Samantha Strong is of course the star of the film (I think she was a Sin City's contract girl for a while) and she did a good acting job considering that it's a big script. As I say often many actors in the adult industry could have made B-movies easily, in fact many of them are better actors and more natural than a lot of people who appear in those movies.

The only critic I can do about the film is that most of the actresses had breast implants which isn't something I like that much.

This is another movie who never got a DVD release at the best of my knowledge...

Fashion Fantasies (1985)

In this Ron Dorfman's production we follow the adventures of a dress who was at some time in the past owned by Mae West and that dress turns the person wearing it as a "sex machine". So we go from one "owner" to another and the resulting film is quite enjoyable. 

easilly one of the best movie made by Ron Dorfman,  in fact it's a good comedy (wait untill you hear Lili Marlene doing her Mae West impression). Many favorites are part of the cast and the acting is flawless.

Sadly, at the best of my knowledge, this isn't on DVD, so feel free to ask a label to get it from the hands VCA (if they really owns it)... just don't tell them I told you to do so 😎

Beverly Hills Cox (1986)

A private detective (Ginger Lynn) from Des Moines (Iowa) investigate at Beverly Hills to find the Boner Bandit amongst a list of four suspects. Will she do it? The only other hint she has is the fact that the bandit have a tatoo at a special place.

I can't say it's the best Paul Vatelli's film I have seen, but the movie have a great cast (I certainly like the encounter between Ginger Lynn and Jerry Butler) and it's enjoyable as long as you don't expect too much. 

Not essential per se, but it's a good vehicule for miss Lynn.
