5.0 out of 5 stars Playboy's Best, April 8, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Playboy - 2000 Video Playmate Calendar (DVD)

This DVD is definitely the best offering I've seen from Playboy. You have perhaps the most stunning set of twelve Playmates ever put together, from insanely cute Stacy Fusion, to stunning Angela Little and Tishara Cousino, to Heather Kozar and Tiffany Taylor, whose beauty can only properly be described as legendary(that's what they say about Helen of Troy, and I have a feeling that if Heather and Tiffany were on the scene back then no one would have given 'ole Helen a second glance, much less launched any silly ships.) All the other Playmate on this DVD are also great, including the Dahm Triplets, Vanessa Gleason, Laura Cover, Lisa Dergan, Alexandria Karlsen, Jamie Bergman, and Natalia Sokolova.

This DVD basically captures the best of two eras of Playboy. Older calendars had very stunning Playmates, but the segments were too short and there were too many costumes and such. The calenders of the last two or three years have longer segments, but the Playmate quality isn't what it once was(there are ones in the new DVDs I just skip over, you sure shouldn't be doing that here), and the camera work is often uninspired. But in this one, you get the longer segments and arguably the best overall "crop" of Playmates ever on one of these calendars. Perhaps best of all the camera work actually seems inspired here, unlike many Playboy fare that seems to say "Oh, I'm supposed to be focusing on the naked women?!" or the last couple of calendars where the cameramen must have been thinking "can we get this over with so I can go on my cigarette break?" That's not to say that there isn't still some "fluff" here; it's still Playboy after all, they're not going to get the camera work perfect. But it's the best effort I've seen from them.

Basically, this DVD is darn near close to being a perfect tribute to and exaltation of female beauty and sexiness. Yes, there are no extras, but when the main product is this good you don't really need them. If you only buy one Playmate Calendar make it this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost a perfect Playboy DVD, January 8, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Playboy - 2000 Video Playmate Calendar (DVD)

This Playboy DVD is the first of the extended time length Video Calendars in DVD format. The 1990 version was Playboy's last Video Calendar to have a length of around 80-90 minutes. Then from 1991 to 1999, Playboy shortened the length of their Video Calendars to 55-60 minutes. What resulted from this were vignettes that were too short for our favorite Playmates. Just as the scenes were getting good, they were over.

The 2000 Video Calendar goes back to the old tradition, where we have 86 minutes of screentime to see our favorite Playmates, and it's quite a collection here. 8 of the 12 Playmates are blondes (10 out of 14 if you count the Dahm Triplets one by one), and many of them are very hot. If you prefer brunettes, there are two busty babes in Tishara Cousino and Tiffany Taylor, and a 3rd not-quite-as-busty but just-as-hot brunette in Vanessa Gleason. There is even a fiery redhead in Alexandria Karlsen.

But the blondes rule this DVD, with the likes of Lisa Dergan, perky Stacy Fuson (AKA Stacy Erickson as an amateur model), a feisty Angela Little, Russian babe Natalia Sokolova, busty Laura Cover, the Dahm Triplets, 45th Anniversary Playmate Jaime Bergman (recently married to TV "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel" star David Boreanaz), and of course, the Playmate of the Year Heather Kozar.

Each Playmate gets 6-7 minutes of screentime instead of 4-5 minutes in earlier Video Calendars. This is comprised of 2 segments for each Playmate, one short segment at 2 minutes and one longer segment at 4-5 minutes. POY Heather Kozar gets a whopping 11 minutes of screentime, a 4 minute and a 7 minute segment.

The only reason I rated this 4 stars instead of 5 is that there are no bonus features on this DVD, unlike the newest 2002 Video Calendar, which has a 30 minute Playmate retrospective of 1990 Playmates to kick the overall running time of the DVD to over 2 hours.

This is still one of my favorite Playboy DVDs, and is highly recommended, especially for fans of blondes.

This review is from: Playboy - 2000 Video Playmate Calendar (DVD)

The first "Playboy Video Playmate Calendar" I bought new was the 1989 one to see Chinese Playmate Diana Lee, and I now have most of them from 1987-2008. I ordered the 2009 one, but my money was refunded. Evidently, just a few were made. In this 2000 one, Vanessa Gleason is my favorite model, and it has her best scenes in any of her videos I own. Tishara Cousino and Laura Cover are also attractive to me, and Angela Little is rather cute. I only watch the scenes with the four girls listed, for the rest are forgettable to me. I prefer brunettes usually, e.g. Vanessa Gleason and Tishara Cousino, but Laura Cover is sexy, and Angela Little is cute, as I said.
