Classical Attraction
"First up is Physical Romance. It's an okay movie, but really nothing particularly special. It's a bit unusual in that it tackles a serious subject matter. One thing which amused me was that you could sometimes see the actors and actresses receiving prompts from off screen. When the large breasted woman is clearly in discomfort as she is riding on top of a guy and her breasts are bouncing up and down, she goes to cushion them with her arm and I guess she got told off, as she quickly removes her arm after looking off camera! Not long after, the guy looks to the side, listens to the instructions and then changes position. Takes you out of the scene a bit, although it wasn't amazing anyway. The final scene is a real let down or an anti-climax, if you prefer. It's not a dreadful movie, but it's certainly not the best either. Classical Romance isn't really any better. Actually it's fairly unmemorable, although the classical music does give it a touch of class, even if the film itself isn't in any way classy. Acting in both movies is generally fine. Shanna McCullough is very attractive, she has that 'girl next door' kind of look about her (sadly not next door to me!). Both movies are worth a watch, but I'm not sure I'll be keeping them myself."
Great Two for One
"A super fun double bill with some killer names attached. Well worth getting!"
snoozefest
"I can usually excuse many shortcomings with films eg low budget you expect bad acting or effects, but being a boring film just leaves me cold. This release is boring, pretty amazing when even the sex makes you bored. Only thing that I found of interest was when the porno version of the Chariots of Fire Theme came on"
Two mid 80s films by Robert Mailer
"This release features two films by adult film director Richard Mailer. These two films feature some great talent of the time. The standout here is Physical Attraction, which is the story of an ex-prostitute who wants to pursue her interest of making it to the Olympics. Some funny moments with an interesting story. Worth checking out if you are into this obscure director."
80's workout fashions!
"Maybe not the golden era, but these 80's titles are still very enjoyable. Bunny Bleu, Desiree Lane and Pamela Mann are all fun for me. And the 80's gym attire on the ladies is nice. Transfers are solid, per VS's usual work."
Physical Attraction/Classical Romance
"Mid-Eighties double feature fun."
