Battle for Earth Episode 6Episode 6 of The Battle for Earth features the conclusion of the storyline from the previous episode as well as an abrupt plot twist that totally changes the direction of the video and presents some really weird dream-like imagery. I think the first 14 minutes or so will please fans who enjoy previous episodes of the series, especially Episode 5, which featured the same heroine, Nova, but the stylistic change that occurs at around the 15 minute mark is pretty unconventional and might prove somewhat controversial.

Adventure of Amazones (Last Part) from Zen PicturesZen Pictures’ Adventure of Amazones (Last Part) is unique in its casting of some of the sexiest starlets in the company’s history, and in its costumes, which are among the skimpiest I’ve seen in the Zen catalog.  The film itself is pretty good too, featuring great performances, good fight scenes, and a long AOH torture session involving the extremely cute Saki Yamaguchi.  I recommend it even if you haven’t seen the prequel, Adventure of Amazones (First Part)[Read more…]

Devla, Vampire Sorceress from UltraHeroix.comUltraHeroix is a fairly new producer of heroine themed videos.  I didn’t get a chance to see their first film, Ultradomination, but I have seen the company’s new video, Devla: Vampire Sorceress, featuring a heroine called Lady Ultra.  It’s a very low budget video that reminds me of the very early efforts from a few other companies, and despite the fairly low production values, I enjoyed the video, and I’m excited to see a new company entering the scene.   [Read more…]

InJusticeGirl Part 2 from SHG-MediaTo make a long review short, InJustice Girl Part 2 is probably the best SHG-produced video that I’ve seen.  I was actually surprised at how much I enjoyed it.  While some of the company’s past efforts have been rather lackluster in my opinion, the company seems to have stumbled upon a winning formula here.  A few familiar technical flaws remain, but InJustice Girl Part 2 also features some genuinely clever filmmaking, a unique narrative structure, and a few pleasant surprises.  [Read more…]

Zen Pictures' Gravure Idol Overcoming Crises! - Code Name Minerva Neo: Scary TsuriganeizumaWhat a catchy title, huh?  This is a relatively recent release from Zen Pictures , the Japanese company that continues to dominate all others, in my opinion, in terms of technical/production qualities.  You won’t find better costumes, acting, editing, or special effects in any other types of superheroine films.  However, there are drawbacks, as the language barrier might prevent viewers from understanding what the hell is going on.  In any event, Gravure Idol Overcoming Crises! is a really enjoyable Japanese heroine film.  It didn’t really do anything special for me, but it does offer the usual terrific elements I’ve come to expect from Zen Pictures, including lots of action and sexy Asian heroines.  [Read more…]
