Journals/Magazines about HC or other erotic Films?

[zebrafink]

Hello,

does anybody know if there are Journals/Magazines, any Periodicals about Erotic Films or Hardcore Films? English - or, if existent, in German Language?
Can you give me titles?

Kind regards,
Zebrafink

I guess the most consistent European industry journal has been the monthly Hot Vid?o but I don't know whether it has German or English editions.

I gleamed over a couple of them a couple of years back, and they were full of ads (way too much for my taste, and figured the price did not really justify the content). But it is probably the only mag that is dedicated mostly to Euro porn production

There used to be the Videostar by Teresa Orlowski, plus the old Color Climax catalogs,... otherwise there are a bunch of them from US publishers such as Adam Film,...

I believe Adam Film went out of business. They used to publish an annual catalogue of regular hc movies, one for black performers, and a gay one. It was an invaluable source of information, especially at a time when there was no internet. I think it is about 2 years that those annuals stopped being published.
I have no clue what is out there now, I really don't chek out the newstands anymore and for the cover price of of those mags you could easily rent 2-3 adult movies. That's why a lot have folded and even AVN is not easy to find in stores and it contains very little info about movies (reviews, etc), that you would be interested in (it is more an industry mag than a fan oriented mag).

Hotvideo is online now.
They have an archive section. They have digitalized their old magazines so you can find many infos.
But, as Len801 wrote about their magazine, it is full of ads, popups, payperview offers, and lots of things you have to pay on top of the monthly membership.
It is in French.

Oops didn't know it needed to be up-to-date... adultdvdtalk is a good source of infos for reviews, stars,...

Yes Steve, but Zebrafink was asking about magazines/journals. Not necessarily web sites. It is the web sites that have killed off and are killing the hc magazines that used to cover the adult movie industry.
Adam Film World was one of the best, if not the best, and I believe it folded due to hard times and the web.
Why pay the high cover price if you can get the same (and more info) from web sites? The same is happening to traditional newspapers, which the majority are publishing current breaking stories on-line.
