The director's name makes me chuckle, because, I suppose, if you combined the artistic philosophies of Elvis Costello and Martin Boorman, you'd come up with a shooting scenario that's part annoying genius and part midnight room search subtle.

And that's what comes across in some of the shots contained in L.A. Woman and Jet Sets. Some glamour effects work (the shows, in essence are semi-mockumentaries about a trio of chic transcontinental babes at work and play) and some really stink out the join – a scenario in Jet Sets comes to mind where a pretty blonde goes to remove her bikini bottoms with lighting texture similar to the inside of a bowling ball. If=t just doesn't work. But you run risks when you try to do girl videos in the style of director Ridley Scott.

Featuring a gauzy-yuppo-Euro-disco look, these two tapes are chancey departures from some of the all-bran Active Home Video has delivered in the past. But it's a welcome change. There's a lot of touch-feely scenes with total nudity. If given a preference, I think L.A. Woman has the sexual and creative edge, thanks to some sparkling cheesecake posing from Becky LeBeau.
