Story : Author: Kevin Cooper from Berkeley, CA wrote : This is an amazing story of how one man, Vincent Lavery, brought children from opposing sides(Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland) of an age-old conflict together to counter the ever-present dehumanization of "the other". Lavery's organization was successful. This is a great story, one that really puts things into perspective. It is thought provoking and emotion evoking. Anybody who has been touched by violence and hatred or knows of the situation in Northern Ireland will appreciate this movie, this story and Lavery's organization. Something else to note in the story is overwhelming courage in the children to forge friendships with children of their opposing religion while family, friends and peers are working against them. The best thing about it is that it is 100% true in all aspects. I would definately recommend this movie to anyone.

Story : Emanuelle, a reporter, comes just a little too close to exposing a corrupt official, and is sent to prison on trumped-up charges. In the prison, the inmates are constantly humiliated and tortured by the prison staff. Overly affectionate prisoners are forced underwater, while others are obliged to look on. Emanuelle finds an enemy in the deranged Albina, who "runs the prison." For the pleasure of the warden, Emanuelle and Albina are forced to fight each other with knives. Bad becomes worse when four men awaiting execution escape and take over the prison. Gore flows like water. (source IMDB written by Jonathan Ruskin)

Hello, This is my Vestron blog, I want to add as much Vestron sleeves I can find. If you have a vestron cover please send it to :vestronvideo(AT)hotmail(DOT)com. . The films in my personal collection will have a different tag : In collection. People who send me scans from Vestron films ( full scans please) will be added with their names on the blog.
When Vestron Video International went Bancrupt at the End of 1989 in Belgium & The Netherlands, most of there up comming releases where sold to other distributors. But the Crew of Vestron did not wait long to continue releasing films. Offcourse under another name : Excalibur. As you will see the early artwork is simular like the Vestron one, and the first releases still have the Locus Video group seal & Boxes ! That's why I also collect those Excalibur tapes. Excalibur was active until the late 90's. They Also tried to release some Erotic Movies, under the name Pink Line. It was not very succesfull, and as far that I know there only 10 films released that way
