The crown jewel of sophisticated erotica, filmmaker Cecil Howard's COMMAND CINEMA presents lavish Blu-ray and 4K UHD editions of Howard's own masterworks, alongside those he produced with other hardcore auteurs such as Chuck Vinecent, Roberta Findlay, and Armand Weston.

Kenny Cushing is a writer in search of an idea. Nearly destitute, he receives a surprise offer from filthy rich oil tycoon Magda Balcourt to ghost write her autobiography. After moving into her stately country home, Kenny becomes quickly acquainted with Magda’s infighting family and soon becomes embroiled in all manners of schemes and doubles crosses going on behind the Balcourt’s high society exterior...

Universally acclaimed as one of the last great X rated movies to be released theatrically, Cecil Howard’s FIRESTORM brings together an incredible ensemble cast, highlighted by Kay Parker (TABOO), Sharon Mitchell (JOY), Johanna Storm (SEXCAPADES), Sharon Kane (EXPOSDED), John Leslie (The Dancers), Eric Edwards (Blonde Ambition), and a guest appearance from Veronica Hart (Roommates, Boogie Nights). Dazzlingly photographed by Sven Nuvo, Command Cinema proudly presents the Blu-ray debut of this twist and turn filled, and multi award winning gem, beautifully restored in 4K from its original 35mm camera negative.

          interesting movie

          "unexpected drama! very nice little porno with great photography and beautiful actresses"

          — Rian A. (5/5)

          Nice Transfer and Trashy 80s Fun

          "FireStorm is a fun 80s adult title with that trashy rich-people soap-opera feeling, but the real reason to pick up this release is the presentation. The picture looks really nice for a film like this, with good detail, natural grain and a much cleaner, more stable image than you would ever expect from old tape memories or bootleg-looking versions. It still feels like film and not like something overly scrubbed. The disc is also a nice package, not just a barebones release. The artwork and overall presentation give it that collector feeling, and the extras help make the film feel more complete as a release. The movie itself has enough drama, ridiculous situations and 80s atmosphere to make it more memorable than just another title from the era. Overall, a cool Melusine release with a strong picture, nice extras and a fun mix of sex, drama and rich-people nonsense."

          — Mirko H. (5/5)

          The lovely Kay

          "Another film with the lovely Kay Parker in it, which always makes it worthwhile."

          — Nicholas W. (4/5)

          This is a great release

          "This is a great release of another Cecil Howard flick which I do consider more cinema than porn, he really made a character driven melodrama with some really surprising acting by Eric Edward's and we get the great Sharon Mitchell too. Great photography and a ton of extras too. Great purchase!"

          — Bryan K. (5/5)

          Glorious Golden Age Porno From Cecil Howard!

          "I viewed this film on the Firestorm Peekarama Blu-ray Limited Edition physical media released through Vinegar Syndrome’s sister-website Mélusine and it is the same great premium level of packaging and presentation that you’ve come to expect from the generic releases of this boutique label. No other brand beats Vinegar Syndrome at the cardboard game and this great slipcover is no exception to the consistently fantastic artwork and component quality this company produces. For my full detailed review of Firestorm, see my entry on Letterboxd: @M4N14K"

          — Michael B. (5/5)

          Firestorm

          "Lots of entertainment for your money here, a beautiful restoration of firestorm plus two commentary’s, an interview and a featurette. Great script, lighting and all star cast."

          — Ben C. (4/5)

          "Firestorm" lights the fire only halfway . . . .

          "Even though touted as one of the last great adult films released theatrically, this Cecil Howard's movie is not all that impressive. CONS : This release is supposed to be scanned & restored in 4K from its original 35mm camera negative, but in a few scenes, there are numerous and visible specks, scratches and flickers that easily could have been fixed in post production and restoration. There is also an annoying yellow/white spot right in the middle of the frame in 2-3 scenes that sometimes land on actors faces which is distracting. Fortunately this Blu-ray release is color-corrected and an improvement on previous versions. Eric Edwards is a decent porn actor, but watching his sunburned body is almost painful to watch. Veronica Hart in a non-sexual - non-speaking role is just a set decoration. A MAJOR let down : NO CLOSE CAPTIONS. NO SUBTITLES. Pros : Great looking actresses, nice locations & nice cinematography. Wonderful extras such as two commentaries, an informative interview, featurettes, a trailer and a restoration comparison. . . And . . . . a very nice slipcover. Overall, if not the best, it ain't the worst either."

          — Dennis B. (3/5)

          Classic 80s

          "Classic vintage smut. Pretty dope style & overall some juicy scenes in it."

          — Marcel W. (4/5)
