| Pros: |
OLD Review (1/17/07)Pros:
- 5 FULL videos per day
- Good search engine
- Price is best of any video site
- Offers DVD quality at a $5 per mo. premium
- Permits selective downloads via 30 second segments that can be automatically connected.
- Has a member review section for each video and for each scene
- The vast majority of the scenes have a cast list that is interactive so a member can generate a list of all offerings with a particular porn star.
UPDATE (4/2/09) Pros:
All "pro" comments still apply.
-Excellent blog was added with substantial involvement of the site's management that really adds a lot to the members' enjoyment of the site.
-Anime has been added. |
| Cons: |
OLD Review (1/17/07) Cons:
- No pics at all
- With over 800 vids per year and the limitations on acquiring licenses, a few of the vids are rather poor.
- Occasional mis-identification of the talent
UPDATE (4/2/09) Cons:
- No "real" HD (but some high bit-rate stuff obviates the absence of HD)
- Added two major sources (Evil Angel and Vivid) accessible only at substantial additional cost.
- Comments have deteriorated into wise guy comments about the screencaps so they are of little real value.
- Significant deterioration in the accuracy of the model identification which creates a serious problem using the search engine.
- More "Bargain Bin" compilation videos that contain scenes that have already been posted earlier on the site. |
| Bottom Line: |
OLD Review (1/17/07) Bottom Line:
This site exceeds all possible comparisons to other sites and is a bargain. The occasional obscure weird vids (midgets, hirsute Japanese, trannie) pop up once in a while but so what? The member review section is new and the members haven't figured out what a "review" is because most postings are more like a chat room than an evaluative discussion of the scene or the video.
Great site, great deal. Go for it!
UPDATE (4/2/09) Bottom Line:
The site continues to have the largest number of videos of any site (over 6,000 at this writing) and add 5 per day which is 1,865 new videos per year.
That may be a contributing factor to the deterioration in model identification. The sloppiness in model identification has really made the site a lot less desirable for me because I see the searchability of a site to be very important.
The introduction of Vivid and Evil Angel productions were added with a lot of fanfare but they hit a serious sour note with many when they belatedly added the rather high supplemental charge to access the videos from these studios.
As mentioned in the "Pro" section, the blog is an excellent interactive forum. Management of the site gets into a lot of substantial discussion with the members which is very good.
I reduced my original score from 97 to 90 for two major reasons.
- The significant increase in the sloppiness in model identification is a major annoyance that hurts the site's value.
- The lack of thought given to the roll-out of the two premium studios. (Had they announced the move along with the cost associated at the outset, the reception would have been a lot better.) In my opinion, the roll-out also took their attention away from their number one mission, and that is their primary offerings.
Once again, photo enthusiasts need not apply. There are none. |

Whale Tail 'N

Current Member for over 2 months (at the time of review).

| Pros: |
A huge amount of content - old and new - video and photo. (They claim to have over 1 million photos)
20+ daily updates, mostly video but several photo
Good video D/L options (iPod, wmv and Xvid (AVI) with some MOV and MPEG's). Vids are all full length scenes.
A huge model listing that is accurate and linked accurately (that's becoming rare).
It's genre is Whale Tail (the rear view of a babe wearing thong panties under low rise jeans or slacks) and there is a good selection of whale tail scenes in that specialty area.
No DRM or D/L limits
Huge Bonus Site options; some excellent and some lousy, but there are enough opportunities to keep you busy looking 24/7. |
| Cons: |
Biggest fault, IMO, is no zip for the photos. 1 million photos and no zip, you do the math. Worse, each photo needs the user to label. There's no unique numbering or lettering. (Remember the good old days back in 2000 and 2001?)
Photos are smallish.
Navigation is rather clumsy and not intuitive, but after a while it becomes much easier to use.
Mostly non-exclusive video, but some of the photos look like they are exclusive.
The mechanics of name searching is rather clumsy but once you figure out the shortcuts (use the "favorites" feature when you find a model you want to track) it's a bit easier. |
| Bottom Line: |
This site is a real sleeper but I recommend it to everyone. At $9.99 it's a Helluva great deal.
The TBP review claims they are not updating, but the site is slamming a lot of new content (20+ additions - video mostly) every day.
My score of 86 would improve to 90+ if a zip download feature was added to the photo sets. (Incidentally, my score is based on content and ease of use, not on the fantastic price.) The score would also improve with a search feature that made it easy to locate a specific model by name.
If you are into "whale tail," there's enough content to make you happy. But the site name is somewhat misleading because it's far, far more than just the whale tail genre.
Do not be turned off by the less than exciting appearance of its home page and its annoying characteristic of dimming down as it's loading a page. (I was and almost canceled without giving the site any chance to show me its stuff.) Give it time and once you get used to it, you'll find it acceptable. Not great, but not terrible either.
BOTTOM LINE - Go for it and drop $10 and check this site out. It's worth the effort to understand the design and, once you do, you'll be happy when you discover the treasure at the end of your quest. |

|
| Pros: |
- Excellent video quality with options
- Easy and well thought out navigation
- TBP discounted price makes this a good value
- Assortment is fresh and varied
- Avoids extreme genres such as dark bondage, "classics" (i.e., very old material) |
| Cons: |
- Only full scenes can be downloaded
- Must use iafd.com to determine who appears in a scene. Cast list is provided only for the entire video, not for each scene.
- Rating system is non-functioning
- Advertises that all videos can be downloaded and retained but several videos are streaming only. |
| Bottom Line: |
A very good site for the video fan because of the consistent high quality of the material, the very large volume of videos and the wide variety of talent. However, compared to VideoBox with 5 updates per day at a lower price, I found this site a tad bit wanting with just one new (high quality) addition per day. VB, on the other hand, will throw in crappy and/or poorly ripped videos once or twice a day. Thus I maintain a membership on both sites but give the rating nod to VB because of its sheer daily volume.
Follow-Up:
I've found that VideoBox has many (most?) of the content offered by X Movies, sometimes much earlier than it's available on X Movies. So membership in both sites is redundant and can be a waste of money. Also, unlike VideoBox where all of their videos can be downloaded, some of X Movies' content is streaming only. |

Reason: I updated the score from 78 to 79 to reflect a score more consistent with my standard. I also cleaned up some typos and grammatical issues.
|
| Pros: |
Absolutely all natural babes with great natural titties with most in excellent resolution.
The videography is excellent for mammary lovers like me. Concentration is on boobs in virtually all aspects whether soft core, midcore or hardcore
Appears to be all exclusive content with several top models inn the mix
Simple navigation
Frequent updates, no DRM.
A wide variety of situations and a very large number of models. I saw no evidence of any aftermarket enhancements.
Best part is that I saw no "BBW's" (they are all in great physical shape) or MILF's (they are, indeed, Young Busty models).
A TIT LOVER'S DREAM |
| Cons: |
Lousy naming for models. Several well known ladies are in their portfolio but with totally different names. I never understand why they do that.
Very (extremely) slow downloading. Considering that many of the videos exceed 500Mb in size, the d/l speed of a max of 90Kbs is totally unsatisfactory and cost the site 7 points in my rating.
The site logs the user off automatically if there is no activity in 15 to 20 minutes. That mean that, unless you are browsing other content whilst downloading, you can expect to being required to log on after each download. Worse, if you start the download and leave your computer inactive the logoff cancels the download.This cost the site another 6 points.
Unlike other sites this site prevents you from downloading more than two videos at a time.
No zip files for photos. Excellent quality but very slow process to download. |
| Bottom Line: |
I've remained a member for 6 months because I wanted to download the good stuff but could not invest the time to do more than 2 d/l's per session.
The frustration is that this could be a terrific site with a high score by making the downloading process more user friendly and extending the logon time. I wrote tech support about this problem and got a brief response that the server they use here in the US is slow (no kidding!) but no promise of any correction at all.
The site is among the best big tit sites for content, quality, variety and quantity. Worth a score of 92 before the deducts mentioned above.
If you are interested in the site, you should sign up for the 3 day trial and see if you are good with the download process. If you can deal with the slow speed and logoff issues, you should be a very happy member. |
