Extra's: This disc has alot of extras, as usually is the case with Wicked DVDs. To start, there's an extensive 34-minute behind-the-scenes look at the making of the movie (The movie was only 83 minutes, can we say overkill?). There's also a Star Interviews section. In addition, there are 3 seperate photo galleries (a star gallery, a behind-the-scenes gallery, and a regular photo gallery). Not enough? How about some Star Stats? They also include a Special Effects Reel, to show how they did that space scene and the black & white scene. In addition, Wicked's included their usual promo material, and 5 steamy trailers for other videos. All in all, some great stuff here!
Audio/Video Quality: The picture was presented in 1.33:1 ratio full frame and had rich colors. However, I was disappointed in a few of the scene, as they weren't as good quality-wise as Wicked pictures usually are. The first scene was actually pretty blurry, and it ruined what would have been the best scene on this disc. The rest of the scenes were pretty badly lit, and the black & white scene wasn't great. The sound was great, with your choice of Dolby 5.1 Surround, 2.0 Stereo, or 2.0 Stereo with an audio commentary by Michael Raven & Kaylani Lei. The 5.1 mix is just sensational, with the rear speakers getting a healthy workout, and the subwoofer even came alive a few times throughout the movie. The music was very catchy, but never overpowered the action on the screen. A few times it seemed like the audio was a bit out of sync, though.
The Movie: Love Stories brings to you 5 love stories, narrated by the stars of the individual scenes. Each scene has it's unique story, and they're pretty interesting and tie in well with the action on the screen. My only gripe is that they spend so much time building up the storyline, it just takes too long to get to the sex! There was also a strange quirk in that the fast forward button doesn't immediately work - It starts in slow motion, and then suddenly catches up and blazes through the scene. A little annoying, but managable.
Scene One: The Companion - Monica Sweetheart stars in this scene, as an android who's been given to an exiled prisoner to help pass the time. I'd gladly go to jail if Monica would keep me company! A super-steamy sex scene ensues. Truly a fantastic scene, only problem being the deliberate blurriness they added for the "space" effect.
Scene Two: Drive-In Love - A pretty cool concept they did in this scene, with the set designed to look like a 50's style drive-in, complete with the classic car and outfits from that time. I don't recall girls having clit piercings and shaved pussies in the 50s, but go with it, because it's a pretty hot scene nonetheless!
Scene Three: Silent Sex - A strange scene that was filmed to look like a silent movie from the 20s. It's a MFF scene, with no words, just the occasional subtitles. The people are dressed in outfits that look like something Egyptians would have worn, which didn't make much sense. I wasn't particularly impressed with this scene at all.
Scene Four: Perfection - A guy dealing with a hard break-up has the "Perfect" night, when the love of his life comes back for one last amazing night with him. She's a gorgeous blond, with amazing tits and an ass that just won't stop. When he wakes up in the morning, she's gone, but he's got some great memories to keep him warm at night!
Scene Five: Ladies Lounge - Here we have 2 sexy women by the fire, at a lodge of some sort. They gradually explore each other, with lots of licking and light fingering. The brunette in this scene is simply stunning, and they put on a nice soft-core show for us to watch. Pretty sexy stuff.
Final Thoughts: I really enjoyed this disc, despite the technical difficulties that I encountered. The disc was a bit short by today's standards, but Wicked delivered 4 strong scenes that you'd be hard-pressed to find fault with. That's 80%, and better than most discs I review these days. And it's a good couples disc, with a decent storyline and nothing too hardcore for the misses. If you like good looking girls having great sex, then you should definitely check out Love Stories!
