VIVID STUDIO INSIDER FOR JUNE 4, 2010

KENDRA SEX TAPE IS AN INSTANT BEST SELLER – Vivid released the Kendra Exposed sex tape starring Kendra Wilkinson only a week ago and it immediately zoomed to the status of a best seller for Vivid.com. CBS News reported on Wednesday that pre-order sales of the Kendra tape had eclipsed those for Vivid’s Kim Kardashian tape and it “is now Vivid Entertainment's best-selling celebrity sex tape of all time.” Reporter Devon Thomas wrote on the CBS News Celebrity Circuit: “Kendra Wilkinson may or may not be a fan of her latest Triple X sex romp, but pre-order sales of her home-made sex movie are a hit with consumers.” In another mainstream media story, Hollywood Life reported boldly: “EXCLUSIVE! Kendra Wilkinson, You Could Have The Best-Selling Sex Tape In History!” Correspondent Andy Swift proclaimed in his story: “Your home movie is so popular stores are already ordering more copies! Kendra Wilkinson, you’re not the only one making money off your sex tape. A source at Vivid Entertainment tells HollywoodLife.com that they’re selling like hotcakes! May 26, the day your video was first made available, was Vivid.com’s biggest traffic day to date — and stores are already calling Vivid to ‘re-order more copies,’ which our source tells us is ‘not common at all’ for sex tapes within their first week of release. Suppliers can’t keep the videos on the shelves! And Vivid.com continues to get millions of hits on their site from people coming to get their Kendra fix. So how does Vivid explain your video’s popularity? ‘I think the reason it’s been so big is because there’s a sense of urgency,’ our Vivid source tells us. ‘There’s been such a build-up, and a lot of people didn’t want to wait to get it in their hands. Wow! Kendra, you said you were praying that people would find it in their hearts not to push play… but it doesn’t sound like anyone listened to you. Your home video is well on its way to being the best-selling sex tape in history!” The stories on CBS News, Hollywood Life and other coverage featured numerous links to Vivid’s Kendra tape and related information.

XCRITIC GIVES TOP RATING TO VIVID MOVIES – The highly respected reviewers of XCritic.com found much to praise in recent Vivid movies. The Devil in Miss Jones: The Resurrection earned a “Highly Recommended” nod from reviewer Harry Johnson, who writes that the movie “is a stellar show that doesn't let up for a second. The sex is fantastic from start to finish and each of the performers brings their A game here.” Reviewer Apache Warrior says Experience Required is a must-see movie that features “emotional performances that deliver a range from intimate romanticism to unbounded lust. Experience Required deserves a highly recommended rating especially since it includes Savanna Samson's best gonzo performance ever.”

BATMAN XXX REVIEWS ARE HOT – The reviews of Batman XXX: A Porn Parody are beginning to pop up and they are uniformly positive. Joel Murphy writes on Hobo Trashcan that the movie succeeds in "living up to its pre-release hype…It’s clear that director Axel Braun has an appreciation for the original TV show. The costumes are identical to the originals (except the trademarked logos on Batman and Robin’s chests have been replaced with Xs). It has everything you would expect to see – the generic henchmen and beautiful gun molls flanking the villains, the red Batphone wired directly to the Commissioner’s office and even Barbara Gordon’s secret revolving wall concealing her Batgirl costume. The film gets the littlest details right, as well… “ And Christopher Thorne of XCritic.com makes the movie an XCritic Pick, its top rating. Thorne concludes: Batman XXX - A Porn Parody was one of THE most anticipated parodies for us this year and we're exited to report that it lives up to our expectations! With an absolute jam packed all-star cast including Tori Black, Lexi Belle, Alexis Texas, Andy San Dimas, Kimberly Kane, Randy Spears, Evan Stone and James Deen - Director Axel Braun for Vivid succeeded where others have failed.  Batman XXX - A Porn Parody will be a tough choice to beat come awards time, director Axel Braun going all out to put the smack down on his competitors, his hard work showing up time and again. If you want a spoof making fun of a title, look elsewhere but in terms of capturing the essence of the original, this one was a winner! Read our review for Batman XXX - A Porn Parody and see why we gave it XCritic's highest rating - the XCritic Pick.”
