Pros:
One of porn’s most marketed stars … Joanna Angel
Alternative, goth, tatted, all apply to nearly every scene on Joana’s sites
There are 237 videos to download
Site’s navigation is straightforward and simple
Very hardcore in some of the scenes
Some of the videos even have 4K downloads
Cons:
There are no picture zip downloads
Joanna isn’t in every scene
Bottom Line:
I first was introduced to Joanna Angel’s content on the Gamma-owned Burning Angel. There are lots of reasons for me to like her. She’s about the same size I am. She hasn’t succumbed to plastic surgery. She’s around 40 and she’s never wanted to fit in. I don’t know if her success in porn shows popularity or she’s just that good of a performer. She is one of the most prolific female porn stars as well.
This site is very much a solo site about Joanna, but there are friends or guests too. The sex varies from heavy tease (my favorite) to all out hardcore sex (my least favorite). Joanna, despite her tiny frame, shows the strength and power of a confident woman. She does it without having to rely on stories and plots to show her strength.
The videos are mostly downloadable in 1080p and 720p, but there are some that can be downloaded in 4K.
There are picture sets, but those are not downloadable. The site is a back to the basics type site. There are four filters to separate the content. You have scenes, pornstars, tags and shop.
That is even simpler for me. I’m not interested in the friends or other pornstars. The tags aren’t helpful to me and I don’t think I’m interested in anything from the shop.
Joanna shows off some of her skills including tease and denial of a guy, not for sure if that’s her husband (he’s a pornstar) or not. The scenes with Joanna have near perfect chemistry and good tension. I had the same feeling with Burning Angel scenes as scenes from this solo site. If Joanna isn’t in the scene, I’m not interested in it.
There are no bonuses or extra content. You just get Joanna’s site and nothing else. I’m okay with that, but I think I’ve shown I’m a huge fan of Joanna.
She is considered one of the most important models of alt porn and is considered one of the pioneers of the genre. All while looking 25-30, when she’s really 40+. I take every scene she is in as her chance to impress the viewer. I don’t think she’s let anyone down very much. This site is required for those that are Joanna Angel fans. I would even say it’s better than Burning Angel, if you’re just in it for the Joanna content.

Pros:
SpankMonster offers you an exquisite buffet of older versus young porn scenes that could be structured in a wide range of niches. You will come across a ton of teen 18+ models on the site and MILFs whose main objective is to leave a lasting sensual impression imprinted in your mind.
Unlike most sites, this site manages to showcase its performer’s personality in a more personal reality porn setting. In addition, it’s extremely easy to keep up with their updates with provisions such as the PPM packages aside from their premium membership. There are currently a total of 167 ultra 4k exclusive hardcore taboo porn-oriented scenes. Even better, the site continues to religiously update its content every week with scenes of some of the hottest upcoming teen 18+ babes and legendary MILF performers. Best of all, there’s a good number of scenes created around family role-play and auditions.
Cons:
Only one site -- no bonus sites come with membership. Since you only get the one site, it can seem a bit pricey. Downloading takes a long time due to the size of the files.
Bottom Line:
Spank Monster, as the name suggests, is the site that will build you an insatiable appetite for getting off to all their fantastic porn scenes and, in return, making you a fapping monster. There are tons of beautiful and absolutely sexy MILF and teen 18+ girls across the industry. These babes are ever willing and ready to entertain you and make all your sex dreams cum true.
While the collection is steadily growing every week, you might be delighted to know that their scenes never disappoint regardless of the genre they are built around. Besides, you get to stream and view as many exclusive porn scenes as you can on the site. But the website has not provided a download button for its videos to ultimately ensure that its content remains mainly exclusive.

Pros:
-This review is based on the Spank Monster channel of Adult Time. There is a separate Spank Monster site, but I would not recommend joining the original Spank Monster site for a few reasons.
See the Bottom Line summary section of this review to see why I would join AdulT Time instead of joining the Spank Monster site.
-Videos can be streamed or downloaded in definitions from 160p through 2160p.
-The production values are good to excellent: nice sets, cute teen models, excellent lighting, good sound control.
-Even though the plots soon get repetitious, and I think the stunt cock (Jay Rock) is sort of slow-witted because he keeps resisting these cute teen girls who want to fuck him, I have to give Jay credit for picking such cute teens for his step-daughters.
-The models are cute teens or early-twenties girls. Not a lot of tattoos, not a lot of make-up. Very few piercings (except for the belly-button stud).
Cons:
-This is an Adult Time channel. So the navigation could be much better. If you try to bring up the Spank Monster channel listing, it might not load. Or if you try to get around that by an aphabetical listing of channels to find the Spank Monster channel, you can find the alphabetical listing is not alphabetical, but out of order.
-The camera work could be better. The video sometimes get out of focus. And it can have jumps, which should be edited better. Really, Jay Rock should hire a videographer to shoot the videos, which would make the videos better, except he probably figures the videos are good enough without the expense of hiring a videographer.
-There is no text file to explain the plot. But most videos have the same plot of the step-daughter seducing the step-father. Or a step-brother having sex with his step-sister.
-Few tags to describe the video. So searching by tags is not worthwhile.
-There are no model bios for the channel.
-Pre-checked cross-sale on join page.
Bottom Line:
Reasons for joining Adult Time (which has a Spank Monster channel) instead of joining the original Spank Monster site:
-Membership in the original Spank Monster site is expensive. 12-month membership is $150.
You can join Adult Time for $95/year, or less if you join on a holiday discount.
-Spank Monster site is streaming only.
Spank Monster channel includes unlimited streaming and unlimited downloads.
Actually, there is a daily limit of 300GB at Adult Time, but unless you are a porn fanatic trying to download the entire network, that limit should never affect you. So I consider that unlimited downloads, rather than having to state in every review of the network that there is a 300 GB daily download limit.
-If you join the Adult Time network, you get access to over 55,000 hardcore videos, and over 50,000 photo galleries. Covering a wide variety of porn niches, with 1,000s of porn models.
If you join Spank Monster site, you gain access to over 100 videos, featuring about 100 porn models.
So Spank Monster site has limited content, compared to Adult Time, which has a huge amount of content.
Enough said. The advantages of Adult Time over Spank Monster site are self-evident.
The Spank Monster channel has 53 videos. This is 44% of the 120 videos at the Spank Monster site.
The models at Spank Monster are mainly cute young teens.
Mostly white. You do have a few Black, Asian, Latino models, but very few.
Spank Monster channel has 53 videos.
The runtime for a video is around 33 minutes.
The videos are available for streaming and/or download in 160p or 240p through 2160p.
There is an accompanying photo set for each video.
The photo sets have about 15 pictures per set.
There is a zip file for the photo sets, that downloads with a generic file name, such as 120595.zip.
So you have to re-name the file, if you want to add the model's name, date posted, site, etc.
But I don't know if the sets are worth collecting:
-The models are cute, but the set is a small number of photos.
-Some photos can be out of focus, or poorly framed.
-The main use of a photo set would be to download the set, pick the best photo that shows the model in a pose you like, and keep that photo with the video, to illustrate what the model looks like. And delete the rest of the photo set.
Spank Monster is a new site, started in 2021.
But in a sense, it's a clone of the Jays POV site.
Not a true clone, but the videos at the site (and Adult Time channel) follow the same plot that the Jays POV videos follow:
-You have a stunt cock (Jay Rock) who plays the step-daddy who is seduced into having sex with his step-daughter.
-Or Jay Rock can play the step-brother who has faux incest sex (faux, because these are step-relations, not blood relations) with his step-sister.
- Jay Rock is the stunt cock at Spank Monster, and also the stunt cock at Jays POV. He opened this site because another site will add revenue to his wealth, but there's no difference between this site/channel and the Jays POV site in theme or plot. So unless you are a super-fan of Jay Rock, join the Adult Time network for your Jay Rock fix.
Bottom Line Summary:
Forget the repetitious plots. The lame dialogue. The sometimes poor POV camera work. Some of these cute teens are so fucking adorable you wish you could be the one in bed with them instead of Jay Rock.
The girls put on a good show of seducing Jay Rock.
The videos are good to excllent. Mainly because of the cuteness of the models, but the videos are professionally shot from the POV viewpoint, which is not the greatest. I prefer a standard shooting technique which gives you better camera angles. But the sets are expensive, and the technical features (lighting, sound control) are good to excellent.
I'm giving the Spank Monster channel of the Adult Time network a score of 90.
Mainly because of how cute the girls are.
I don't like the POV camera-work, the lame scripts and dialogue.
So your personal score could be lower.

Pros:
-The stand-alone Filthy POV site is streaming only. But the Adult Time channel for Filthy POV has both unlimited streaming and unlimited downloading (if you have downloading privileges with your membership in Adult Time).
-The stand-alone Filthy POV site content is supposed to be exclusive. But the Adult Time channel for Filthy POV has some content from other sites mixed in, so it's not entirely exclusive.
-All scenes are available in 360p SD through 1080p. And they are now offering 4K definition for people with ultra-high definition monitors.
-Some scenes might have a plot that adds to the interest: A brother might blackmail his stepsister into having sex. However, many of the videos at the Filthy POV channel seem to have the plot cut out, and the scenes start with off with hardcore sex, with no buildup.
Cons:
-Pre-checked cross-sale on join page.
-Some videos have an accompanying phtoset. But the photoset is poor-quality screen shots: poor lighting, cheap sets, a limited number of screen shots per set. Not worth collecting, even when the model is cute.
-Photosets average around 15 screenshots per set.
-The level of attractiveness of the models is below average. The site is going for a trailer-trash vibe, not presenting the models as attractive women, but as sluts who are getting banged.
-There is no text description of a video.
-There are no tags to describe or define the video.
-Little to none model info.
Bottom Line:
124 videos currently.
Video runtime is from 10 to 20 minutes. My guess is that they've edited the original videos to cut out the build-up to the sex, and start many of the videos with the sex scenes. Which is both good and bad: good, for fans who want to skip the buildup and view the hardcore sex. Bad, because the the buildup could give meaning to the sex.
Without the plot build-up, the scene is just two or more bodies having sex, with very little meaning.
You have Dixie Lynn, Sofie Reyez, Karah Brooke, Jocelyn Stone, Melody Marks, cute or attractive girls, sucking cock, but there's no basis for the sex, and it gets boring fast.
I much prefer the Jays POV channel in Adult Time, which makes an effort of selecting cute teen models, and also includes a plot build-up where the stunt cock seduces the girls into having sex, or the girl seduces the guy.
The sets and costumes at Jays POV are nicer, not trying for the trailer trash vibe.
The lighting and colors of the videos at Jays POV are brighter, and the girls look so much better.
Filthy POV is a channel in the Adult Time network.
It's also a standalone site.
I'm writing about the Filthy POV channel in the Adult Time network.
Which apparently has a lot of the video content found in the separate Filthy POV site.
Note: some of the videos that are listed under the Filthy POV channel are originally from other sites.
A few from FilthyKings, RoccoSiffredi, Spizzo.com.
But most of the content is from the FilthyPOV site.
Most of the models are white, but you get some latina, some black.
Most of the models are probably in their twenties, but you get some teens, some grannies.
These models are not selected for their looks, unless you consider trailer trash as the target look.
You get a wide variety of themes in this channel, and a wide variety of female performers.
The overall theme is trailer trash: slutty models, young and old, who are showing the dirty side of sex.
Fake incest: step-relations having sex. Teen and twenty-something models having sex with young and older guys. Grannies. Lots of models with tats. Cuckold. Punishment. Blowjobs. Anal. Oversized titties. Whatever.
The models are basically shown as sluts who like their sex down and dirty.
No attempt is made to make the models attractive or glamorous.
There are a few cute teen models in the catalog who seem to have wandered into the site by mistake, but
they show they belong in this site because they have fake-incest with their step family or show other perversions.
If you're into dirty sex, perverted sex, then you can watch in 4K video, which should satisfy connoisseurs of raw hardcore porn.
I'm giving the Filthy POV channel a score of 78. I don't appreciate the trailer-trash vibe of the site.
I don't like the editing that cuts out the build-up to the sex.
I like my models to be young and attractive, and the models at this site are basically a much less attractive group of women than the Jays POV models.
The plots at Jays POV site can be repetitious, but the models are yummy, and the sets and lighting are clean.
The sets at Filthy POV are cheap, the models are presented at sluts, the lighting is dim.

Pros:
-Part of the Adult Time network.
-Site has 138 videos.
-The selection of models is first-rate: cute young teens and 20-year-old models.
-Login and member pages are secure(https).
-Customer support is first rate: 24/7 live chat, telephone, email.
-Videos are available for streaming and download in your choice of definition: 288p through 2160p.
-Members are allowed to comment, favorite videos, models, photosets. They leave negative comments on the site, unlike some sites that remove negative comments.
-There is a brief text description of the video, and the tags do a good job describing the action.
Cons:
-Navigation is the main con. There's so much content at the network (over 50,000 videos and almost as many photosets), that it's difficult to find the content that appeals to you.
That's good and bad: good, that you can find a lot of good to excellent hardcore videos; bad, because there will be a lot of content that doesn't fit your tastes.
-I wish there was a model listing for each individual channel, instead of a network model listing. You have over 13,500 models at the network. So the model listing is not helpful finding what models are included in a particular channel. I mean, you click on a model's thumbnail, it will show you what sites she appears in. But I want a simple listing of the models that appear at each channel.
Bottom Line:
-Jay is the role model of the father I always wanted to be:
He cares about his step-daughters.
When he catches them taking nude selfies on their phones, he tells them how concerned he is about their welfare. What if some pervert posts the pictures on the internet? The innocent girls' lives would be ruined.
Also, even though he admits he's not their real father, he says he has to know whether they are taking birth control pills: after all, you don't want a bunch of naked bastards running through the house without proper supervision.
Jay is a man I can really admire.
Also, Jay turns out to be a man with a sex drive.
He can often be found on his bed wanking off to the pictures of his naked step-daughters.
They are step-daughters, so it's not real incest.
In some states, a step-father may not legally have sex with his step-daughter, even if the sex was consensual. It's still called incest.
But in Jays POV, he believes that a little romance between a step-father and a step-daughter can bring them closer together.
Jay is a man who appreciates that step-daughters are often younger than the women he's married, so that adds freshness and spice to the sex.
Jay has a say in his household. He's not trying to take the place of their real dad, but he needs to be involved in the lives of his step-daughters. So if a step-daughter has any questions on sex, how to give a blow job, or whether anal sex is better than vaginal sex, Jay is the man to ask.
Jay is also willing to demonstrate his experience with his step-daughters, especially if they are young and cute and attractive.
Some of his step-daughters are unsure about Jay's rules, but Jay is such a smooth talker, that he soon convinces even the most uncertain girls that he is the man in charge.
Jay has practical advice for his girls: don't go by the videos you see on the internet.
They often give erroneous ideas about sex.
Sex should be between two warm, loving partners. Jay is a warm, loving partner.
Guys like Jay like their sex slow. Slow to start, then he can start pounding away as soon as the girl is warmed up.
Since Jay is married to their mothers, the sex between Jay and the girls is a secret because Jay doesn't want any problems with the women he married.
In conclusion, Jays POV is a teaching aid for people who want to marry women with step-daughters.
First, make sure it's legal to have sex with your step-daughter in the state you're living in.
Second, make sure you pick a woman with an attractive daughter. There's no sense fucking an unattractive step-daughter.
Third, tell the girl you're doing it for her own good. You want to teach her the joys of sex.
Much better than an inexperienced teen boy who doesn't know how to handle a young woman.
Be firm, be autoritative.
The step-daughter will learn valuable life lessons, while you get the benefit of teaching a young pussy how to fuck.
A classic win-win for everyone.
And if the mother does find out, tell her you did it for the daughter's sake.
Jays POV is an excellent site.
It gives you valuable life lessons on how to treat your stepdaughters.
The videos are clear and crisp, and the step-daughter models are young and attractive.
And once Jay gets into bed with them, due to Jay's coaching, they are soon able to give expert blowjobs. And to fuck like bitches in heat.
Be like Jay, and make sure when selecting a wife, that the stepdaughter is young, cute, and will fill your afternoons with sinful sex.
I'm giving the site a score of 85.
That's due to Jay being the pervert I always wanted to be, and for filming his experiences in such clear, crisp videos with these lovely young pussies.

Pros:
Super site directed and operated by porn married couple Mark Wood and Francesca Lee
Though the range of niches is broad there isn't anything too shocking like if Mark was with a transsexual. There are transsexuals on the site, but I guess Mark is behind the camera.
Definitely seeing a progressive married couple at work. Both Mark and Francesca have sex scenes with other people and some threesomes together too.
There are 1,377 scenes, but that number is a little inflated by most scenes also having an accompanying behind the scenes video.
The update schedule is different than most sites. It looks like they do a monthly update for the first week of each month (5-7)
The scenes focus on around 50 DVD series they produce including Anal Newbies with 82 scenes.
Cons:
There are some pretty rough and hardcore scenes on here. I was thinking it might be similar to Porn Fidelity. I don't mind most rough scenes, but a few of these were rougher than I like.
I would like a little more story in the scenes that feature both Mark and Francesca.
The mentioned Behind the Scenes videos that bump the video count up by at least 500. These are short 6-10 minute videos.
Bottom Line:
It's no secret, I like porn that has some perversion to it. Telling me a husband and wife are filming porn together on their site and having sex with other people is perversion! Which is a problem this site has, but I wouldn't call it a con. Mark and Francesca seem to be such professionals they don't show any emotion other than lust when they see their spouse having sex with others. Mark does look to be the lucky guy. He stars in every Anal Newbies scene I have watched and thought the one with Harmony Wonder and Zoe Bloom were very good, but I am sure Francesca got some revenge after watching how much he was loving the anal with those two, little, young models.
I did bring up some of the scenes can be very rough. One of the newest is a good example. It is with Natalie Porkman, who is one of the skinniest, most innocent looking models I have seen. Mark and Francesca completely destroy her. I can see and understand the sex being rough, but there are parts where Francesca has both of Natalie's arms pulled straight back while Mark jabs her throat with his dick. There is a lot of spitting in the scene, on Natalie's face, in her mouth, that's just degrading to me.
I thought one of the best scenes was Mark with Nia Nacci in Anal Brat for White Cock. I think it's a good example of how rough, anal sex can be done without it being degrading. Both him and her seemed to love the scene. Makes you wonder if Francesca keeps a note on a notepad to go a little faster the next time she's with another guy! I think that would make an interesting series. Mark makes Francesca jealous, Francesca makes Mark jealous.
The site is big with those 1,377 scenes and while I did list the Behind the Scenes as a con, some of those are pretty interesting and aren't a complete waste. All 1,377 scenes can be downloaded (as long as you sign up for the download option $5 more for the first month) in 1080p, 720p, 540p, 480p and mobile resolutions. It's an interesting site that didn't quite live up to my expectations coming from the Teen Fidelity/Porn Fidelity sites also ran by a husband and wife. The roughness doesn't surprise me and I knew there would be some. I do think one of the funniest parts is Mark is in so many of the anal scenes. I can just imagine him saying to Francesca, "But this is a new series and I want it to be perfect!" There are a few other guys that get their chances in the anal scenes. Mark seems like a likeable guy so I would think that helps with him being that involved in the anal scenes. I would recommend it to those into hardcore, anal, even some roughness.

Pros:
- billing through CentroBill
- Good production - they have great talent and you see and hear all the action with good lighting/sound/directing.
- 1920X1280 2.5 mbps best video resolution with smaller files available for those of us with limited hard drive space.
- 4K available 13 mbps available.
- photos downloadable as .zip files
- New talent. Maybe it's just the rut I'm in, but I found some models here I'd never seen before.
- Theme consistant: POV with hot talent. Heavy on the Blow Job aspects - but plenty of hardcore action with some cream pies. Some FFM shoots but most are one on ones.
- Shoots run about 20-30 minutes
- Good talent:Abelle Danger, ALEX COAL (I think she's new, at the least she's an up and comer), Athena Faris, August Ames (RIP 😢),
- exclusive content (as far as I know, along with new discoveries (to me anyway like: Skylar Vox, Candy Alexa, and Sky Blue
- clean organization with tags and searching
Cons:
- No PU discout
- 168 videos as of March 15, 2020
- STILL UPDATING: slow update schedule 10/month is typical
- no network access available
- With only 168 sites and no wider network there's a fundamental lack of content that's hard to look past. For about the same money I like manojob.com/dicksuckers.com they have just as good POV stars and action - but specialize in dirty talk too.
Bottom Line:
The talent is strong and I really like how they mix new comers with established stars.
The quality is great - while I haven't upgraded to 4K I like being able to download my favorites for the day that I do get around to updating.
For me there's too much "step family play". It's probably 15% of the shoots or so. So it's not over done, but it's too prevelnt for my tastes. (Which is a shame cause it's in almost every MILF video they do - and I love the MILF genre)
If I hadd to give the buy or no buy. I'd go with no buy at this point. I think they're just too many good competitors that stack up higher at the moment. But I'll keep my eye on this site. Hopefully they push harder on this and change my mind. Really if they open up more of a network I'd probably jump back in with a multimonth membership.

Pros:
- The site of pornstars Mark Wood and Francesca Le ... but wait it's also a network that is a network in the Evil Angel network.
- If you like hardcore porn this is the place for you.
- Massive collection of porn.
- There are 25 websites in the network including possibly the most disgusting website ever created, Milk Enema.
- Very high quality technically and in production values. You would think people this perverted wouldn't care about production values but they do.
- Download speeds are the fastest I have had, it's about 90% of my max.
- Some legendary producers are here including Buttman John Stagliano.
- Navigation is pretty good once you figure out what you're doing.
Cons:
- Enough with the confusing crap. It says Evil Angel Network once I signed in, so is this just an Evil Angel clone? It also does not come with Adult Time and this is a Gamma Entertainment site. Look at it this way: LeWood is a 24-25 website network and it is on the Evil Angel Network which I had never heard of and through my Evil Angel account, I have access to Adult Time. Do one network. Not three. Not two. One.
- There is some very hardcore content on here. I am not against it but it should be mentioned in cons.
Bottom Line:
I can't seem to get out of this cycle of Gamma sites. This is one time I think having the ability to post a picture or screenshot would help with this review. My tab at the top of the screen says, "Evil Angel Network" not LeWood. In another tab, I have Evil Angel open.
This is where I am going to get frustrated. As an Evil Angel Member, I can search in "directors" for LeWood. Here are a couple names of the most recent LeWood scenes on Evil Angel:
Emily Willis: The Anal Awakening scene 4, scene 3, scene 2 and scene 1.
On LeWood's website the most recent scenes are:
Emily Willis: The Anal Awakening scene 3, 2 and 1. There are also 5 other LeWood scenes in-between those. So, part of the newest content on LeWood could be gotten from Evil Angel. Even worse, Evil Angel already has parts 1-4 of Emily Willis: The Anal Awakening while LeWood, the director of the scenes only has 1-3 on their website.
To me, that hurts both LeWood and Evil Angel. Evil Angel's biggest selling point for years was the exclusivity of their content. There's no way I can sit here and go through each of the LeWood sites and see just how many them are near clones of content on Evil Angel.
It kind of feels like LeWood is a spinoff of Evil Angel at a higher price. Even more odd that I have Adult Time access with Evil Angel but not with LeWood.
The good thing is I am a fan of a lot of Evil Angel content. I like their quality, the depth of their content and their production values.
By my count there are around 8,000 scenes. The content dates all the way back to 2000.
The videos started with 1080p around 2009 and every video since has up to 1080p quality with 6 lower options. They cover the quality very well. They also have a pictures category and I honestly can't tell you what the photos are related to.
As example, the video update on 3-14-2019 is of those devilish Ortega twins and on 3-15-2019, the late bloomer Vicki Chase. The 3-14-2019 photo set is of Luana Navarro, a transsexual model. It says it's from Luana Navarro Set 2. These seem to be legit photo sets and not screencaps but it doesn't match the video releases. All of the videos have a "related pictures" link that is usually to 6-10 photos. These specific "photo sets" have over 200 photos in them and are downloadable.
It makes you wonder if these sites have a tester that goes through the site as a member to see how the experience is.
A big selling point here is my girlfriend likes transsexuals but she only likes solo transsexuals. One of the transsexual sites on this network is called She Plays with Her Cock. I was showing my girlfriend the site and every scene is a transsexual with a man. Why would you name a site "she plays with her cock" and then have the model having hardcore sex? It would be like a site being named "She plays with her pussy" then you open it and she's having sex in every scene.
Confusion seems to be the theme here. It's definitely not bad. It could use some changes. The site works very good just like every Gamma site does.
If you're curious about Milk Enema, they squirt milk into the model's ass and she squirts it back out into other people's mouths. Don't take that as me being nasty. Take it as me saying I'm telling you what is so the curiosity won't lead you to watch a scene! Tori Black, one of my all-time favorite models, has a scene on it and her scene isn't that bad. Some of them are very graphic. It is an older site that hasn't updated but maybe 3 times in the last 4 years but you've been warned.
Most hardcore doesn't bother me at all. I grew up watching Buttman scenes. Those old Buttman DVDs are still very good, similar to an old Vivid DVD.
My main complaint is how much of this content is already on Evil Angel? I probably won't join again because I believe the majority of what I would want is on Evil Angel. I don't mean to say that as a way to hurt their business. I just don't like joining two sites that have the same content on them.
There is nothing in the members area to make me think LeWood is a separate website or network. The url for LeWood's homepage is members (dot) evilangelnetwork (dotcom) en (slash) videos (slash) lewood. It's a subdomain of Evil Angel Network.
These sites are getting carried away with all this need for networks and confusing prices. Of note, Evil Angel, Adult Time and LeWood all go up to $29.95 in the second month.
Definitely not my most coherent review but the content I'm reviewing isn't very clear. I'm giving it an 86 because it's good, hardcore porn, in very high quality.
+ A TON of content
+ Lots of HD videos (not all, but lots)
+ Individual scenes available for most movies
Cons:
- Many, many scenes are cut in the wrong spot, meaning the last few minutes are attached to the next scene, so if you buy individual scenes, you'll be buying two at a time very often to get that last few minutes
Bottom Line:
This site is great, with one huge exception: scenes are very often cut in the wrong place, leaving the last few minutes attached to the beginning of the next scene. I usually buy individual scenes, and I often have to purchase the NEXT scene as well, to get the full scene I actually wanted.
UPDATE: I removed customer support notes from the review and raised the score; it seems there is one specific contact form that doesn't work (and another one that does). So while that's annoying, I'm not going to let that affect my review. Support is indeed perfectly reasonable aside from the one broken form. So beware: if you request a support chat after hours, you'll get a fallback email form instead; that form does not seem to get replies. The main form under "Online Inquiry" on the support page got a fast reply; use that one.

Pros:
Interesting/Exclusive content. Jodi West is a decent actor and pretty cute. Includes access to forbiddenfruitsfilms.com, too.
Cons:
The Main problem with this site is that there is no downloading COMBINED with the fact that they use a very slow video player. This means that skipping around a video is not possible. The player is such junk that it crashes when you try to jump through the video.
Bottom Line:
Before I joined, I knew that the site didn't have a video download feature, but the discount through TBP convinced me to give it a shot. I thought that just viewing the videos through the site would be okay. But, the player they use is slow. Imagine watching an ENTIRE DVD trying to get to a scene that interests you. Well, that's how terrible this site is. Content is decent, but the back end is straight out of 2006: crashes, very little in the way of being able to jump to scenes. I've barely used the site because I don't want to waste my life trying to find something I want to see. If they allowed for downloads, then I could find scenes on my own computer... A very unpleasant experience.

Pros:
- 521 DVDs, 2700+ scenes
- Many A-list models
- Typical mainstream porn
- Download and viewing options
- Easy-to-use site layout
- Supports download managers
- TBP discount
Cons:
- Hasn’t updated in six months
- Billing issues
- Credit card hack
- Generic file names
Bottom Line:
It appears that we may need to observe a moment of silence for a once-great studio. And if they aren't dead they are mortally wounded as they haven’t uploaded any new material in six months. That will hardly fill any prospective members with confidence. But it gets worse! I found the billing and cancelling processes to be deceptive and, perhaps coincidentally I’ll admit, within a short time of joining the site my credit card was hacked.
The Good:
Elegant Angel was once a powerhouse studio in the adult industry. They were a top-quality money-making machine going back many years. While they don’t have much of their back catalogue available here (from the 1990s and 2000s) there is a still a good collection of some great porn here. The available porn dates from the last ten years or so and features some of the biggest stars in the industry at the time each was shot. The site currently has over 2700 scenes on 521 DVDs.
The videos are streamed in two resolutions (no details on those are available) and there are four download options on the newest scenes: 320X180, 720x408, 1280x720 (3500kb/s) and 1920x1080 (8000kb/s). File sizes are reasonable for the two higher resolutions with the 720 files around 1GB and the 1080 files closer to 2GB. The older scenes (depending on when they were filmed) often only have two lower resolution files available.
The site allows download managers and I had no issues with the links timing out too quickly. There is also a great TBP discount offered so if you join be sure to do so through here.
The bad:
There has been nothing added to this site for the last six months. The last videos or pictures date from June 2016. I’ve read that the studio itself is in trouble and if the lack of videos here are any indication those rumours might be true.
Lack of updates in and of themselves isn't necessarily bad, in my opinion. 521 DVDs for $10 is still a great deal for a first-time member. It’s the subsequent rejoins when things become a problem. So the buyer definitely needs to be aware of this issue. (On a related note, the tour pages allow a prospective member to see what’s available with the upload date so there will be an opportunity to see if the site has been resurrected at some point.)
This is a minor complaint, but the site uses generic file names that don’t identify the scene so you’ll need to rename them as necessary as you go along.
The Ugly:
Elegant Angel bills through “psnbilling” and since I’ve signed up and cancelled memberships here before I wasn’t concerned. But this ‘biller’ doesn’t seem to be the actual biller now. When you want to cancel your membership and follow the links on the psnbiller page you end up on a page with several hyperlinks to known billers, such as Epoch. You have to then select who your actual biller was. But guess what? The email from psnbiller doesn’t identify who the actual biller was. No problem, right? Just check them all. I did that and none of those listed billers had any information on my membership. And the charge that showed up on my credit card was for “psnbilling.”
Billing B.S. like this serves no one well in the long run.
The good news is that I don’t really need to worry about cancelling my membership though. Within a short time after signing up to Elegant Angel through psnbilling my credit card was being used for purchases thousands of miles away. Since the card had to be cancelled, cancelling the membership isn't really an issue now.
Admittedly I can’t say for certain that my card was hacked through psnbilling but I hadn’t used the card in five days and then within an hour of signing up the number was being used fraudulently elsewhere. That’s a bit too much of a coincidence for me.
Obviously I can’t recommend anyone joining this site who has been a member in the recent past but given the billing issues and the rather coincidental credit card hack I’m not willing to recommend this site to anyone any longer. If the billing and security issues were resolved I’d certainly recommend the site to someone who’d never been a member before but unless there was clear evidence of those problems being resolved I’d say stay away. But since the only reply that I got from them regarding my credit card hack was to tell me that they’d rebill me until I cancelled then I’m going to take it that they don’t plan on fixing those problems. But since they caused me to have my credit card cancelled, good luck to them in rebilling.

Pros:
+The Leader in streaming porn on the net with over 25,000 movies.
+They add approx 22 new movies each day.
+A huge portion of their movies cannot be found elewhere on the net.
+They surpisingly have a large amount of content that is only available on clips4sale.
+The streaming is rather seamless with very few load and lag times.
+There are few if any legal fetishes that isn't well represented on this site.
+They have a decent portion of Foreign made movies from Countries like Germany, Italy, England, France and of course Eastern Europe. Language on some of these movies is in their native tongue.
+They have an amazing search engine to help locate a specifc type of movie, scene,
+The site design is clean and sleak with no third party advertising.
+It stands to reason that they cover probably every possible model type imaginable.
+The movies and scenes each have multiple tags to help the search.
Cons:
-Normally cost is not something that I use as a con but seeing as this is a streaming only site and it's not cheap than I feel I must say that although the price per minute varies depending on the plan you buy. Your average cost is a little more than 1$ per minute of video.
-The same issue that affects sites with large libraries of content is that the tags attached to the movies/videos is not always accurate or complete and therefore some research is needed to guarantee that you will find what you are looking for.
-The quality of the vids is dependent on the original source material and therefore it's common for older stuff to look poor or really bad.
-It's rare but it sometime happens that the video streaming will stop requiring that you restart the video and remember where you were.
-They have premium studios where the cost per minute is more than 1$ per minute. It can go as high as 3$ per minute and to me that is simply robbery.
Bottom Line:
*I don't buy minutes as much as I used to because although I love the content. My porn budget is simply too small to cover the high cost. Of course that doesn't prevent me from checking what new content has been added about once a week.
*You can buy a 7 day or life time streaming for a specific movie and It's even possible to buy a life time streaming and download of a movie but that last one sort of boggles my mind because why would you stream it when you already own it but I guess there are people who wanted that option.
*The owners saw that they would run out of studio made movies and smartly started to add internet based content. Today I would say that about half of the updates is taken from various websites or clips4sale stores. That can either be a great news in the case of the clips4sales stores because their cost are even higher than Hot Movies but it's quite a different thing for content that can be found on websites.
*I recommend that most people make some research prior to actually streaming content from any website because unless it's a one and done than you would be better off joining the actual site than streaming it's content on this site.
*Here is a little comparison to illustrate the differences between the total number of movies available on this site and Videobox.
Elegant Angel HM: 1207 VB: 774
Anabolic HM: 506 VB: 180 Diabolic HM: 674 VB: 305
New Sensation HM: 1439 VB: 228
Platinum X HM: 329 VB: 388
Private HM: 1153 VB: 476
JM Production HM: 769 VB: 109
*It would be easy to continue but you get a good sample of how much the difference is. The simple fact is that Hot Movies has more movies than VB and has more of the bigger studios on VB as well.
*Although I did mention the high cost in the con section. I'm not going to use it in my scoring because it many ways it's irrelevant to your final enjoyment. If you are like me and want to watch a particular movie/scene that you know is next to impossible to find elsewhere on the net than this site is well worth buying streaming time.

Pros:
-Very good selection in all niches
-Easy to move around the site
-Great index of categories and genres for just about everyone who
loves porn
-Can Favorite a scene or movie
Cons:
-The worst part of my viewing experience was not be able to view the movies. Antique player provided by the website in comparison with other pay sites or free tube sites. Started on the website years ago with a Microsoft based computer and had problems viewing because of a security program. To view I had to turn off a firewall to watch the movie. Went to a MAC, got Flip4Mac and Silverlight per their recommendations and still have choppy viewing.
Bottom Line:
The bottom line of a pay per minute viewing website is to be able to view the product provided. If you can't view the product there is no sense being there. I am abandoning the site with many remaining minutes because of the player and lack of tech support to remedy the problem. Because of my issues, if someone asks me about the website I would have to tell them great content but enter at your own risk. Its ironic but the trial videos always worked. Downhill ever since.
Current Member for over 1 year (at the time of review).
Pros:
Caveat: the only feature I use is ppm
-Good selection, wide variety from mainstream to amateur
-User reviews mostly helpful
-Easily navigable, better than any site I've seen
-Good quality
-Keeps track of when you last watched a movie
-competitively priced
-excellent tech support and customer service
Cons:
-I use a Mac. I have problems with movies in WMV and stopped watching them. This is with 2 different Macs.
-I prefer non-mainstream and foreign language movies. While they hotmovies has a fair share, there could be more.
Bottom Line:
I probably sound like I work for them. It's my one and only review and perhaps you think I'm a shill. I'm not, I promise. One of my issues is that I've used this site almost exclusively and have been a member for seemingly forever. They used to be called Abbey's something or other, which was strange. Anyway, I look at other sites, particularly the highly rated sites, and they don't seem to hold a candle to this site. Yet hotmovies is not a widely used site (at least judging from reviews) and the reviews in general are not great. I don't understand that but that's not my concern. I'm not trying to convert anyone. What I do need is some new blood cuz this site is starting to get old to me. I was hoping to find that here. If someone wants to comment on some other sites that have similar features to hotmovies, I'd very much welcome that. I haven't found any.

Pros:
+Site contains 437 dvd's and/or 2362 videos.
+You can search by keywords, name of the model's, ethnicity and nationality.
+All the videos can be downloaded in 720x408 resolution but the videos from the last 200 or so dvd's can also be downloaded in both HD 720p and HD1080p.
+There are 53 B.T.S (behind the scene) videos.
+All content is dated.
+I don't nomally mention cost as a pro but 20$ for the kind of porn Elegant puts out is a steal.
Cons:
-My biggest con was that I had the hardest time accessing the site on multiple occasions. I lost quite a few days of access because of that. I'm not sure how much of an issue it is for others but if it is a recuring problem then that would be bif problem.
-The other big con is that the parent studio is more or less dead now so new content is not liley to be added for a long time(if ever). The last update was 20 hours ago but that is something that is recent because the last ones were a month ago.
-They have some photos than can be downloaded but I didn't see anything worth looking at or saving.
Bottom Line:
*This is still a great site (if you can access it)for any new member but returning ones have to be very, very careful as to when they were last members because they may discover that there isn't a lot of new stuff added. It's also very important to remember that the parent studio is dead for the moment as they are in the process of being sold. That can turn out to be good news because whomever buys them will keep the philosophy behind many of their great movies but it could be bad news and the new owner will gut the budget on movies and start making low quality crap.
*It's also important to note that the dates on the content are not production dates but when the videos were added to the site. It's not always an issue if the movie is quite new but some of them are older and were only added recently.
*I didn't put this in the con but Elegant has many great older titles that are not on this site and that is really too bad because many of them are classics.
**I'm a little thorn because on the one hand I want to people to enjoy Elegants movies but my fear is that until the studio is sold then who knows where it will wind up or what will happen to this site.**
**I think most people are safe to buy a one month membership but avoid long terms ones because you will get burned. I'm deducting some points for lack of new content but I'm not deducting any for my access issues because that could be an isolated issue.**

Pros:
- Good selection of Elegant Angel titles
- Good mix of older titles and new releases
- Updates regularly
- Supports download managers
- TBP / PU Discount
- 390 DVDs available
Cons:
- Elegant Angel material is widely available on other sites so there can be a lot of overlap
- Some scenes missing from DVDs
- Download speeds can vary and are usually slower than similar sites
- Cryptic file names
- Elegant Angel has a huge back catalogue – this site should be much bigger than it is
Bottom Line:
I’ve been a big fan of Elegant Angel studio for as long as I can remember. I think that the only other studios that surpass them in my view are Evil Angel and Kink.com. This is my first time joining the site though. I’ve learned my lesson not to write a review until I get a full sense of what the site offers and have actually watched a lot of what I downloaded. Had I written this review earlier I would have scored it lower and complained a lot more. As it stands now, I really like this site and I’m glad I joined.
Elegant Angel offers a wide variety of porn, ranging from rough anal and gangbangs to g/g to almost softcore. That’s great for some, but I realize that for others that may be a drawback. I, for example, have no interest in large breasts so I left all of those alone. There are some consistencies though: EA uses A-list porn models and has some of the highest production values in the business.
I’ll get one complaint out of the way immediately: Elegant Angel DVDs are widely available on other sites (Videobox has an EA ‘channel’ for example). This can create a bit of a problem for active porn collectors since there is a lot of overlap available on the internet. The problem is that to get the widest selection of EA DVDs you need to join multiple sites. As a customer I’d obviously prefer to be able to join one site and get everything, but I also realize that Elegant isn’t the only studio that does this. Evil Angel and Jules Jordan are two other examples that require you to join more than one site to access more of their catalogues. At least in this case the TBP / PU discount helps.
The site currently has 390 DVDs available. The good news is that there is a mix of older titles and new releases. The bad news is that since EA has a huge back catalogue this site really should be much larger. The site updates regularly with a new DVD being added every six days.
The biggest improvement to the site occurred in March 2010 when they began offering 720p and 1080p files. All new uploads include these options and currently about 30% of the site was added after that date and are available in HD.
Older titles have limited download options. The site claims to offer 720x408 but Media Info says they’re actually 640x480 at 1500kb/s and 30 fps. The format is mp4. There is a lower resolution available too. I’m not going to fault the site for these low resolutions on their older titles because I’m sure the original quality isn’t that great to begin with and it is still great to have access to them.
New titles are offered with more download options. There is a mobile resolution at 320x180, an H264 at 720x408, a 720p at 1280x720 and a 1080p at 1920x1080. Those are all in mp4 format. I usually opted for the 720p as a good compromise for drive space and quality. Those come in at true 1280x720 at 3500kb/s and 30fps. Subjectively they look great. On a few choice scenes I went for the 1080. The resolution is as advertised and they play at 8100kb/s and 30fps. Visually I don’t see a lot of difference between the 720 and 1080 but I won’t make a definite call on that as I haven’t tried either on my 50” TV yet.
The site allows download managers and the links have a reasonable time-out. My guess is that your links will be live for at least a half hour.
This is really getting picky, but for some reason EA opts to not put all the scenes up in the DVDs. I don’t know how often that occurs – maybe it is really infrequent – but it was definitely noticeable in the one DVD that I joined to get access to: Lexi. That’s the recent DVD with Lexi Belle’s first anal scene. The anal scene is there, but the site doesn’t have the first scene in the movie with Lexi, Riley Reid and Michael Stefano. I may have wanted this title for the anal scene, but the b/g/g scene is actually my favourite and it irks me that it isn’t posted. The DVD was uploaded in early October so I think it’s safe to assume that they won’t be adding it now. If anyone has any thoughts as to why they’d omit this I’d appreciate hearing from you.
Since I’m being picky I’ll also point out that the file names don’t give any clue to the star or DVD. If you’re like me and fussy about cataloguing your collection you’ll need to change the names of the files as you download.
The site has flaws (it should be much bigger, some overlap with other EA material on other pay sites, non-specific file names) but those are minor when you consider the value of the site. If you like the style of porn here this is an excellent site and I’d highly recommend it to anyone. This site is now officially on my list of sites to rejoin over and over.

Pros:
+You get access to 369 dvd's which comes out to 2017 scenes.
+All videos can be streamed online.
+All videos can be downloaded in H264 format and resolution is at least 720x408.
+The 160 most recent dvd's are now also offered with 1280x720HD and 1960x1280HD resolution.
+Content is dated and they update with one new dvd per week.
+They have multiple tags for each scene and they have a search option for those keywords.
+They offer 51 BTS videos.
+They offer some live shows(I'm not a fan so I won't comment beyond this).
Cons:
-Although 369 dvd's isn't bad. This is still a tiny portion of the Elegant Angel library. I don't think you get access to any movie done prior to 2008.
-Only one dvd update per week is poor.
-The preview sections says that some dvd's are in the members section but you find out after joining that this is a lie.
-They offer photosets of some of their performers but the number of pics in each set is less than a dozen.
Bottom Line:
*I was a little disapointed when I first joined this site because i was hoping to get access to a couple of their newer movies which are clearly on the preview section and the option: clicking on the button to watch these movies brings you up to the sign up page so you would expect that the movies would be available inside the members section and that's where you would be wrong. That's not to say that I'm not pleased with my membership because I am. Evil Angel and Elegant Angel are two studios whose films I have always enjoyed. Getting access to only a part of their library for 20$ is a huge bargain for anyone and something that no one should pass up.
*I can't help but feel that Elegant suffers a little or a lot depending on how you look at things from the fact that I've been a member of Evil Angel a couple of times before and that site is superior to this one on a few levels. The total amount of content is greater at Evil and they update more often. The update schedule is significantly better at Evil because you get access to their newer movies a lot faster than you do here. The library goes further back at Evil than at Elegant. You get some better pics at Evil and you have a greater variewty of download options.
*If you know the kind of porn Elegant Angel puts out and it's the kind you like then you have to join this site because you will be happy with what you get. Just don't rely on what the preview sections says about new content on their first page because it may not be available when you join.
**The only people that should avoid this site are those looking for Elegant's older titles. You won't find any here and that is too bad because they have some really great older movies.
-Some good scene/actress filtering options (though some don't work as well as they could)
Cons:
-Small amount of picture sets (130+), resolution of pics not very high
-Can go decently long periods of time without any updates
-Some DVDs they have released are not on the site (even recent ones)
-Navigation can take getting used to
Bottom Line:
The first thing I'm going to talk about is the actual content on the site. Elegant Angel has been around as a DVD company for over 20 years, and for at least the past 5-6 have been one of my favorite DVD companies in American porn. They shoot with the best girls and the best guys, and get many of those girls to do things for them that they had never done with any other company. Every year, they get 'first' scenes from some of the biggest girls in the industry. Their directors are all top notch, and none of their scenes that I've watched have felt over or under-produced. As far as just the quality of the scenes on the site, I'd honestly place them as probably my favorite website that I've ever joined. But content isn't the only thing that determines how good a site is to me.
At the moment, the site has over 1900 videos, which is a pretty nice amount. The movies seem to take about a month between when they are released on DVD and when they begin to be uploaded to the site. The movies go back to as far as the mid 2000s. This is nice, but Elegant Angel started producing movies in 1990. There's no videos from their truly early days, which is understandable, but it would be really nice if they had some of it. When you get to the middle of last decade, they have most of the scenes from their bigger series, but not all of them. For example, they don't have Lauren Phoenix's Buttwoman movie from 2004, even though they have movies from earlier than that posted. This is a little disappointing, but still understandable. What isn't understandable is that there's movies that they've released this year that aren't up on their site. They released Anal Students in January, yet it is nowhere to be found. Thankfully, there aren't very many examples of this, but the fact that there are any, especially from movies released in the past 6 months, is very disappointing. And even more disappointing than that was that the updates weren't consistent. For about 2 weeks during my time as a member, there wasn't a single solitary update that wasn't just a compilation from other scenes they'd already released on the site. I know that they don't actually release enough new DVDs to fill up a whole month of updates, but with the mention I made earlier of movies from their back catalog that they haven't uploaded yet, they could easily fill gapes like that with older scenes (which they do seem to have done in other instances, including over the past week or so).
The site can take a little time to get used to navigating, but not much. All of your typical sorting and tagging is there (by male or female talent, by sex act [anal, interracial, etc.]). There are also a few that aren't so common. You can filter the girls by their countries of origin or ethnicity (so only American girls, or only Asian girls). It's something that could has potential, but there are some glaring bugs For example, it goes by country of birth and not place of primary residence, so you'll see some girls that were raised American listed as, say, German because they were born in Germany. And there's no way to look by continent (so, say, all European or South American performers). You can also view scenes by DVD, and DVDs by series (i.e. Big Wet Asses), both of which came in handy many times for me.
When viewing the scenes, there are a couple of different options. They have your typical file formats and resolutions (1080p, 720p, standard def, and mobile device). All are mp4 downloads. They also have a feature that I didn't realize how much I liked until recently, which is a set of small thumbnails that, when clicked, take you directly to that point in the scene. The scenes have screencaps that can be downloaded as a zip file, but the resolution isn't very high (720 by 480). Other than the screencaps, there are no real picture sets for each scene. The site does have a separate area for pure picture sets, but these sets are very small (usually 5-10 pics), the resolution is good but not great (1280 by 720) and there's only about 130 sets.
Most of my issues with this site are easily fixable. They have enough content (in theory) to be able to fill the gaps in their schedule and make their updates more consistent. The navigation could be improved easily, and probably without redesigning the site that much. In the end, though I don't have that much experience with these types of sites, most of them seem to basically just be a function of this being a company who puts their DVD business first and their internet business very clearly second. If they were to focus their attention on their site, I think it could probably become a site that I stay a member of for a long time. Right now, though, it's just a site that I'll join every few months.

Pros:
-Large, varied selection of movies
-Most content is pretty well described/tagged
-Many different player options (quality, mobile players)
-Low cost of entry and maintenance
-Customizable Home Page
Cons:
-Like other pay-per-minute sites, expensive if watching lots of content
-Videos take a little bit of time to load
-Lots of premium titles (cost more than normal)
Bottom Line:
The selection of movies here is very large and very varied, stretching from the classic porn of the 70s to today, and filling a whole bunch of different niches. If your tastes run anywhere near mainstream, you're likely to find something that you like. And the site does make it easy to do so. Not only do they do the customary tagging of each movie by actors and actresses so that you can find the actors that you like, in most movies each scene has its own set of tags, covering things like the location, the sex positions, and the performers appearances. You can generally get a good idea of the content of a scene just by reading the tags, which helps you to be able to find the stuff you like without having to use a few minutes on stuff that doesn't contain what you're looking for.
As far as the technical aspects of watching the video, they're good, but it could stand to be improved. They offer three choices of how to watch the videos (Flash, Silverlight, and WMP), which should cover you no matter what operating system you're using. The video quality is good, but not great, even at ultra and mega settings. When starting a video, it generally takes somewhere around 15-30 seconds between when you see the window and when the video starts playing which is longer than most any other site I've been to. They have a mobile site that supposedly works with both iOS and Android devices, but I haven't had the opportunity to check it out yet.
Navigating the site takes a little bit of getting used to, but is easy once you have, and they have a customized home page feature that can make it very easy to get to the content you're looking for. The classic homepage does a good job of showing you the newest and most popular videos, but can be a little confusing of a starting point if you're looking for something specific, especially since the search bar isn't at the top of the screen. But with the customizable home page, you can pin specific movies or actors to your home page so that you can get to them quickly, and you can rearrange the elements on the page making the site much easier to use.
And now to the cost. The actual costs to buy minutes look to be about the same as most other PPM sites. If you're only watching a few minutes a day, it's fine, but it can get expensive quickly. Like AEBN, they have premium titles that cost more than 1 minute per minute to watch (between 1.5 and 3 minutes per minute), but they seem to have more of them, and some movies are premium here that aren't premium there. They offer the option to rent and buy movies, but the prices are along the same lines of buying/renting DVDs, which isn't much better cost-effectively. But (and this is what makes this my preferred PPM site), they offer enough deals and promos for the site that it can be very cheap to be a prolonged member. They offer 10 free minutes when you sign up, and every day they have a link on the site for a free minute or two that is easy to see. They have a rewards program that gets you points when you buy minutes that can be redeemed for rentals. And last year around the holidays they gave away a ton of free minutes and rewards points and rentals, to the point where I have never paid to add minutes from my account and I went from the original 10 free minutes to having 4 lifetime rentals and 100 minutes. Just the extra free minute or more per day alone makes me prefer it to AEBN, who offer 30 initial minutes instead of 10, but with no way of earning more without paying for it.
Coming from someone who had previously only joined subscription based web sites (pay a price per month, have access to all of the sites content), pay-per-minute sites such as this one are a little different, and a little harder for me to figure out how I should use, let alone how to review them. You have access to a lot more content than nearly every subscription site (Videobox might come close), but you have to pay for it piece by piece, which way more expensive in the long run for someone who consumes anything more than a few minutes of content per day. In the end, I found that the best way for me to use them is basically as a preview site, something secondary to other sites that I am a member of. If I want to check out the content of Elegant Angel movies before joining their website, I can stream a few minutes of a few movies to see if I like it. Or I can check out that new girl I've heard about or seen in pictures but never watched a scene of. Just that option/opportunity, in addition to the benefits of being a prolonged member, make me likely to stay a member of this site for a long period of time, even if I don't use it very often.
Was a member approx. 6 months prior to this review.
Pros:
Loved the site. I completely trust them.
I used to be a DVD member. They have a Netflix type of service where I got DVDs in the mail for rent. Had a problem and the fixed it with no hassle.
I used their digital download after purchasing a movie. The download didn't come through and we didn't seem to find an answer to fixing it so they game me a full refund the same day... and it was a weekend.
It's the Amazon of porn, but a bit more trustworthy.
Cons:
The search engine they have could be more enhanced.
Bottom Line:
Like I said... They're the Amazon/Netflix(DVD) of porn. Very trust worth and also a great company.
Also, when they decided to stop selling videogames from their DVDempire site, all the left-over videogames stuff were given to charity.

Pros:
+ Good looking videos
+ Lots of hd videos (over 550)
+ Small watermarks
+ A++ search functions
Cons:
- A very small amout of photos
- Scene setting gets repetitive
- Not to DL manager friendly
- No partial download
- Sometimes a lapse in hd updates
Bottom Line:
Elegant Angel is a site that does a lot of the little things right which a majority of adult sites fail to do. They have a excellent search function which is a breeze to use. Another thing that i really like is when you rate a video you see an immediate impact on its total overall rating score. Adding videos/pornstars to the favorite section of the website works flawlessly. There are Well over 550 hd videos all with good quality, the download options for these videos are 1080p/720p, H264 ,and a mobile option (all of wich is .mp4 format). Also there isn't any over sized logo/watermark on the videos. Mostly all newer videos have a real tiny writing at bottom right corner with the name of the site on it. There is a large variety of videos, you can find at least one scene for almost every major porn niche.
Well that was the good and here comes the bad/ugly. The site isn't to download manager friendly. The download manger that i use (downloadthemall) works but if the video you added been sitting around a while you would have to re-add it. The scene locations seem to get repetitive. A majority of the scenes are on the couch or on the bed inside a house. I would like them to switch locations up a little more. I have a personal problem how they release there hd content. The format is one scene from a dvd until it is complete. That is good only if it is a dvd that you like. But if the dvd is of a niche that you dont care to much about it can be a minor problem. For example next several hd updates this week will all be oral only scenes. 8 straight new oral scenes in a row, is 8 days of new scenes that i wont be to interested in. Pics sets are very few in numbers. Some of the newer set have less than 10 pics in them. Older ones have around 30 good quality pics, but this is far to few (a little over 100 sets). Like most dvd sites they do have BTS footage, to bad most of it is not in hd (which is a little of a downer). Not all videos on the site are exclusive but a lot of them i seen for the first time on this site.
This is one of those sites that i think i might stop in and check on there updates after my membership is over and renew membership for it once in a blue moon. I think it was worth the 20 dollar price tag. I gave it a score of 87 because it was an above average site to me. It didn't exceed nor fall short of my expectations but rather feel right in the middle of the two. Bottom line it is a very good site not great. If you like the site trailers chances are you will enjoy the site. I would recommend this site but its not one that i would say is a must try.

Pros:
- Huge collection of titles (close to 60,000)
- Affiliated with Adult DVD Empire – a company with a long history and good reputation
- Various options for viewing or downloading (PPM, download and stream)
- Two or three (depending on the age of the title) quality options
- Speeds are up to industry standards
- Excellent customer service
Cons:
- Can be an expensive way to collect titles
- Limited search capabilities
- Least expensive option (1 day rental) is streaming only
- Web name is very similar to a blacklisted site
Bottom Line:
First a quick warning: this site is Adult Empire.com. Don’t confuse it with Adult Empire which has been blacklisted here at PU. That confusing name is unfortunate since this PPV/VOD site is very good.
I have a love/hate relationship with PPV/VOD sites. On the love side, a site that offers a lot of titles is an excellent opportunity to view titles that aren’t available anywhere else. On the hate side, they can be like crack for the pornuser in that you only get a quick fix and then have to dig out your wallet again.
PPV/VOD sites aren’t like other porn sites. They don’t offer exclusive material, and unlike sites like Videobox, you have to pay for everything you watch. So why bother? Because a good PPV/VOD will have a huge number of titles that aren’t usually available elsewhere,. It’s a great option to see some titles that you otherwise wouldn’t have access to.
This site is relatively new and appears to be a spin-off of Adult DVD Empire. I say that because my wish list at the older site was migrated to the new site. But the old site still offers PPV/VOD, and some of the titles are the same on the two sites though the new site has better pricing options. Of the PPV/VOD sites I use, my favorite has always been Adult DVD Empire, and the new site offers all the same quality and variety at a price that is often lower.
As with most PPV/VOD sites, there are many options available depending on how you want to view the title. You have a pay-per-minute option, the option to buy a download (most with no DRM) and then there is a streaming rental option. The big advantage that this site offers is a one day streaming rental for just $1.99. If you’re familiar with PPV/VOD sites you’ll know this is a great deal. My preference would be a one day download rental, but that’s just a personal preference.
There are negatives, but to be fair, I suspect that most of those are beyond the control of the site. What the site can control is generally great. The one big flaw is the lack of an advanced search function. The parent site has a great search function, so why that wasn’t just migrated over is beyond me. What the site can’t control (I suspect) is what studios will do business with them, and what those studios will charge to the site. Many studios offer decent pricing, but a few (I’m looking at you, Jules Jordan) seem to think that their material is worth a lot more than other stuff. Obviously the site has to pass those costs on. But as a consumer, I can just choose to not pay those high prices. (Up yours, Jules!)
PPV/VOD sites have their limitations, but if you really want to see a title that isn’t available elsewhere, this may be an option. If it is an option, I’d recommend starting at this site because the rental prices can be very low. There may be lower prices at other PPV/VOD sites, but unless the price difference is huge I’d recommend doing business with this site as the quality is excellent.

Pros:
- Large selection of DVDs, many not available on typical membership-type sites – TBP says there are near 17,000 DVDs
- Good, but not great, search function
- Wide variety of themes and niches available
- Excellent selection of “classic” porn (please note that I consider ‘classic’ to be 80s and 90s)
- Wide choice of how to access the DVD
Cons:
- This is not a traditional DVD porn site – it can get very expensive
- Poor value if compared against a DVD site like Videobox
- DRM on everything
- Not all download/stream options are available for all files
- Download speeds are okay, but slower than some competitors
Bottom Line:
Part of me figures that most PUs have no interest in VOD sites, but then the sensible part of me figures that several good ones exist so someone has to be using them, and maybe a lot of people are like me and can tolerate DRM to see some DVDs that aren’t available elsewhere. For many titles, a VOD site is the only way to get it online.
Gamelink is HUGE, like most VOD sites. TPB says that they have close to 17,000 titles available for some form of viewing. Some of those titles are only available for purchase through the mail, but those don’t appear to be too common.
The search function on Gamelink is good, but it isn’t as detailed as some competitors, like Adult DVD Empire. The feature that seems to be lacking is the ability to do a multi-layered search. You can do a search for Tammi Ann or a search for LBO Entertainment, for example, but you can’t search Tammi Ann in LBO titles only. Not a deal breaker…
One aspect of Gamelink that is both good and bad is that most DVDs have several options available for viewing. You can buy minutes based on a package, you can stream the videos, or you can download them for a set rental period – usually 7 and 30 days. The bad part of this is that not all titles have all options available. I found several titles that I wanted to see but these were only available through streaming. I’m not a fan of streaming so I avoid these if I can. For downloads, most are available as a WMP file, but some have an option of DivX. Some only offer DivX. The quality of the WMP downloads is decent, but certainly not HD. I can’t speak for the DivX quality because I refuse to download a file manager and player just for a couple of videos.
Download speeds are less than I’ve seen at other VOD sites, and are about 400kb/sec.
Pricing varies quite a bit, likely on supply and demand. A hot title is naturally going to command a higher price.
One thing that really bugs me about VOD sites (all of them, not just this one) is that they are inconsistent with formats and prices. I’m not certain, but my guess is that this is the studio’s fault and not the VOD site. I suspect that if these sites had the choice they’d make all titles available in all formats at a lower price. My guess is that if a studio only wants their material streamed and demands a high price, then the VOD site has little room to negotiate. It ends up being a bad deal for us PUs.
But… other people than me have to use VOD sites too otherwise they wouldn’t be here. I’m pretty anal about my porn collection (pun intended) and I like being able to find and watch titles from my personal ‘golden age’ of porn, from the mid 80s to the mid 90s. For all their faults (and for a collector there are a lot of those) VOD sites help fill a void. Gamelink is certainly one of the better VODs that I use regularly and if you’re looking for a must-see title from any era I’d recommend trying them.

Cons:

- DRM on everything (though the level of DRM varies)
Bottom Line:
The best way to think about a VOD site is to consider it the Blockbuster of online porn – it’s rental only, but the terms and duration of the rental can be varied depending on what you want to spend.
I know a lot of PUs are probably solidly against such a site just because it doesn’t really fit the kinds of niche that we all seem to go for – that being the “I give the site $X for a membership of a set time and I can download what I want.” I agree with those concerns. So why would anyone be interested in such a site? Well, for many PUs who are serious collectors, these sites can be a great way to find DVDs that aren’t readily available anywhere else.
One of the best things about this site is its size. TPB says that it has 680 VOD rentals available, but I don’t know when that figure was posted. My educated guess is that is way off, and possibly off by a factor of 10 or more. My experience is that their VOD catalogue is huge. I have found titles here that I’ve been looking for for years.
Another positive is that while every VOD title has some form of DRM, the kind of DRM can vary depending on what is offered and what you want to spend. There are three different ways to get porn on this site. A pay-per-minute function is available with packages of minutes available in various sizes. You can also ‘rent’ the DVD for a set period (usually 7 or 30 days) and finally you can select to ‘download-to-own’ the DVD. That’s a bit misleading since it still has DRM, but the price includes three ‘certificates’ for you to use. Prices vary widely, with new releases and popular titles costing more than bargain-bin titles.
I’m not sure of the actual screen resolutions available, but all titles, regardless of how you rent them, are available in what is called “high” and “DVD.” (Some have “low” available too.) I’ve tried both the higher ones and obviously DVD is much better, and looks as good or better than other VOD sites.
The downsides are pretty obvious – cost and DRM. Cost is a big issue – getting your porn this way can be prohibitively expensive. This is not the way you want to build a porn DVD collection unless you happen to be Donald Trump. (New releases can be VERY expensive.) DRM is self-explanatory – you never own the movie outright.
But even taking the two big downsides into account this site can be a great way to see DVDs that aren’t otherwise available. If it’s a new-release that you must see, or an old classic favorite that you haven’t seen in years, this site likely has what you want if none of the monthly-membership sites do.
Please note – at the time I’m writing this Adult DVD Empire is transitioning to a new site called AdultEmpire.com. It seems to be a repackaging of the old site that keeps the same business model and search functions but in a more modern and user friendly way.

Pros:
-Huge ammount of videos (and growing): literally thousands
-Several streaming options and qualities (from Low to Mega)
-Price is very reasonable (for streaming: 200 minutes for 19.95$, for example)
-Improved scene description and interface
-All kinds of niches and fetishes
-Includes movies ome of the best studios and directors (Vivid, New Sensations, Viv Thomas)
Cons:
-Not all movies are available for streaming
-If you want to "rent" movies, it's much more expensive
-Older movies have worse video quality (and worse scene tagging and description)
-Sometimes (very, very few times) a movie won't stream as expected
-No pictures (that's not really a con for me, but it may be for some people)
Bottom Line:
So, I just realized that my last review for Hot Movies "expired", so, since this is one of my favorite classics, I decided to write a new one. The fact that I am still a member of this site after more than two years should tell you that I am quite satisfied.
Basically, I think this is a site for movie streaming. You don't have pictures, and renting options are much more expensive. So you should accept the idea of watching porn online, and not "owning" it in your PC. If you can do that, this is the site for you. You have an enormous archive with tons of movies with many of the hottest actresses and from some of the best studios (Wicked Pictures being the most notable exception). And new movies are added daily (I am talking around 25 new movies a day, aprox.)
I really recommend this site, specially since it has no monthly rate: you can buy your streaming minutes and use them whenever you feel like it. Or even pay-per-view (an option I haven't used because it's more expensive). I only wouldn't recommend this site for people who want to download movies, or people who like pictures better than videos.
