the premise for this series is that, somehow it is you who is the person behind the camera who reaches out, thru your screen, and into the frame of the lovely young lady enthralled in sexual ecstacy. the girls in this segment all appear to be european models. they are all somewhat exotic. it seems that the women in europe learn to make a different sound to indicate their arousal. in the states - the sound comes out as, "ooooh" - whereas the euro-ladies emote with an 'oh-whaa' noise. on the less-than-furtunate side, the camera people (again) insist on most all of the shots being located on a plane extending thru the spine of their subjects, thus eliminating the possibility of seeing little else besides huge tracts of inner-thigh and the occasional nostril peeking up above the genitals. but hey!... the drapes and furniture in the background are lovely!

If you like girls with the 'femme control' turned all the way up to '11' - this is a great title. This title has good looking women - with great curves, lots of enthusuastic action, excellent camera-coverage, and one can only wish most such offerings were this well put-together. Although I can't remember the specifics, I DO remember that this was certainly a hot title.

as mark twain wrote, "there's no accounting for human taste". several of the scenes were obviously created between consenting adults with a hi-8 camcorder. some of the scenes - especially the last one - were professionally recorded by somebody who hired the people to come do their thang. so, if your taste is for a vicarious visit into someone else's boudoir - then about 1/2 of the dvd is for you - if you just like amateurs - being somewhat amateurish - then 1/2 of the dvd is for you. note: after all these years, you'd think the editors at homegrown would have a color-corrector in their video-dub chain. it seems that everything that comes out of a home camcorder has dull color or a greenish tint - never mind the fuzziness and bad sound. but, it ain't a perfect word - or have you noticed?

Well - lots of people try to make what they call 'Gonzo' productions - like some guy with a cmera just showed up someplace where there was booty-liciousness in play - but this effort REALLY seems to accomplish the goal of making you feel like you just showed up with your camcorder. The girls are ALL genuine amateurs and it all comes off as being 'just like it happens in real-life'. There's a lezbo-scene plus 5 girl-guy couplings.

The pans and scans over the pages of the Buttman Comix is the best part of this effort. The four stories in 'the vault' are all equally uninspired. This is the perfect example the how the AVN awards consist of a few insiders patting each other on the back and passing the accolades back and forth to the exclusion of recognizing any REAL talent or accomplishment in the genre. Vault of Whores is not 'low-brow' - it's 'no-brow'.

...for pres of homegrown, but is it something you will like? well - you'll have to decide for yourself. most of the segments are no so much home-grown as created by various pros in motel rooms somewhere. still, the people are pretty much amateurs. the big problem with this series is that there is a huge amount of advertising at the beginning which cannot be skipped over to just goto the menu - except by fast-forwarding thru all of the footage. i thought i'd see what the home-grown series was all about. the impression here was, "not too much..." - but to each his own.

Rodney has a definitely distinct approach to his videos. There are 5 or 6 girls in this parade - a couple do BJs only - but there are two scenes which are rather amazing.

This title features one of the first scenes done by Riley Mason - who is rather special - and the other girls are pretty hot, as well. Mark Ashley has started developing his own videos - you can tell both he and the girls like each other. Five scenes plus some 'boner-footage', etc. Well done overall.

Three segments - #2 (with Missy) is the better of the trio. In each scene there's a little bit of 'acting' to establish a context for the situation that then leads to sex. You can tell the director was trying to keep the whole effort up a notch from just 'sex on tape'. Overall, not a bad effort.

Jake Malone is another of the genre of creators who has adopted the POV motif for his efforts. He does a good job with it. The idea is that the guy who's providing the pounding is also holding the camera - like it's just him and the model, alone in a room. However, that's obviously not the case as there are several shots where you can see both of Jake's hands in the frame and the camera is above his head. Unless the camera was taped to his skull, there HAD to be somebody else in the room. OK... picky-picky-picky. The girls are all pros - they know what is expected and deliver accordingly. Perhaps thanks to the pace of the ground they have to cover, there's some genuine heat that gets built up and expended. All in all - it's a credible POV production and Jake and his models being alot of energy to the scenes.
