Cinema Erotique is definitely a unique porn site. Instead of the standard pics and vids featuring straight-up hardcore action or typical softcore posing (or maybe a little of both) you find on most sites, the team here at Cinema Erotique creates full-blown high quality erotic movies featuring scripts, sets, storylines, and music composed specifically for each film. As a result of this quality over quantity mentality, they don't have a ton of movies to offer (22 as of this review) but their pricing structure is pretty reasonable, albeit a bit confusing. They have several options including $15 for 14 days, then $10 recurring every 90 days, and $30 for 90 days (non-recurring), as well as a few others. Anyhow, let's go ahead and take a closer look at this unique members area.
The first thing I noticed upon logging into the site was that the dimensions of the main page were too large for my browser so I needed to do some horizontal scrolling in order to view the whole page. Other than that, things are pretty simple if a bit amateurish in design. The 22 available features are listed right in the center of the page (6 to a page, so you'll have to hit the Next button to see them all) and a menu off to the right links to a couple of other sections of the members area.
Each one of the 22 films has a main page where you can see a few preview pics and get some details about the video. It looks like all of the films here are in WMV format and they give you the choice of a high or low resolution version. The vids are pretty large in size, so it'd be cool to have the option to view the film in smaller clips, but for now they're only available in one large chunk. Lo-res clips weigh in at 352 x 200 at 500K and the newer hi-res stuff is a truly staggering 640 x 360 at over 2000K. Unfortunately, the high-end vids don't look as good as the specs imply, but they still look nice. There's some pixelation at full-screen, but not so much that you can't enjoy them at that resolution.
The films here are sort of like low-budget art films with an erotic twist. At least that's the impression I got by checking out a few. To its credit, the site does attempt to bring something unique to the pornographic table with different storylines, a script, sets, custom music, and some attempt at acting. Don't expect anything to be winning any Academy Awards anytime soon though; the acting is amateurish at best and the plots are usually pretty thin...it's cool to see someone trying to do something different in the porn world though I suppose. It looks like some of the scenes feature more typical sucking and fucking (in fact, one I checked out was pretty much a straight-up threesome porn scene to me) while others are more story- and less porn-based...for instance, one film is sort of a parody of the movie Scream with hot girls getting naked playing strip poker and being killed off by a mask-wearing goon hiding in the house. In the end, two of the girls knock the murderer out and then have a girl-girl love session to wrap up the vid. Check out their tour and you'll be able to see some short summaries of what each video here is about.
In addition to the feature films, Cinema Erotique offers two additional sections: Editing Room and Stripteases. The Editing Room area contains several items including the textual scripts for the CE movies, production stills, an mp3 of the music from one of the movies, and a short listing of some of the female stars. The Stripteases section features 25 high and low quality WMV vids of some of the Cinema Erotique girls doing sexy stripteases. High quality vids weigh in at 640 x 360 at 2000K and look great.

My guess is that from what I've said, you probably already have an idea as to whether the movies here at Cinema Erotique are something you'd be interested in checking out. They've got some good quality videos (although with that being their only focus, I expected DVD quality clips) and definitely some unique content to check out. To be honest, this stuff really isn't my thing, but the price is pretty reasonable depending on which membership option you choose, so if you're a fan of erotic cinema and in the mood for something different you might want to check these guys out.
