Emily Kidnapped and Suzi Kidnapped were older, I think, as they were rather grainy. Tormented Thief and Desert Humiliation were more recent and available in WMV, which is a lot clearer.

The pluses: The TNAV website is relatively inexpensive to join. The models in the four movies range from attractive to freakin hot (Katy in Tormented Thief and Emily).

The cons: The movies are inept on every level. Photography, sound, plot, dialogue. . .everything is poorly thought out and ineptly made.

In Emily Kidnapped Emily stops her car at the end of a dirt road. She is wearing a fuck-me tank top (zipper down the middle) skin tight jeans and stripper shoes (I hate stripper shoes, fuckin' hate 'em--your mileage may vary). She goes walking down a dirt path. WTF? She's wearing stripper shoes. She's a gorgeous California blond so maybe that explains it. Maybe she's never walked anywhere on dirt before, maybe she broke a nail on the plane flying into L.A. and thought it might have fallen out here. I don't know. But hiking she goes in her stripper shoes and fuck-me tank. Of course she's jumped by a guy wearing a cloth bag over his head. WTF? Does this guy always wear a bag over his head or was he just planning to rob a squirrel of its acorns? I don't know.

Anyway he jumps her and makes her strip to her panties. Which is cool because she has a beautiful body. He ties her hands behind her and then leads her around the area. I don't know where he's going or what his intentions are because, well, neither does he. He ties a rope between her legs and leads her around by that, and then around her neck and leads her around by that. Every so often he grabs her by the neck and gropes her, or he puts his hand over her mouth and tells her she better not scream--which she's never so much as attempted. He ties her to a tree, leads her around some more, ties her to another tree or two, and finally ties her between two trees. The bondage is loose and sloppy, she keeps coming untied, she whines and complains like a spoiled kid who has to go shopping with her mother at all the wrong stores, and every now and then she pulls and twists and tugs like she's trying to get away.

Why doesn't he gag her? God, I got so tired of hearing her whine! Why doesn't he just knock her down and fuck the shit out of her? I don't know. I guess TNAV doesn't want to go heavy and I can respect that, but you still have to have a sense of threat, or plausibility, or direction. The only way it makes sense is if Emily and her boyfriend agreed to spice up their love life with a kidnap and rape game in the woods. Maybe he's impotent and thinks this will do the trick. I don't know. If that's the story though, it didn't work for him. Maybe next time he should have her dress like a Japanese schoolgirl. Works for me.

Suzi Kidnapped and Desert Humiliation are the same story as Emily Kidnapped and as ineptly made. Suzi is walking down a dirt road in shorts, a tank, and walking shoes (surprise.) She picks flowers along the road. I don't mean one or two flowers, sniffs them, appreciates their beauty; no, she picks the shit out of these flowers. She's going through these flowers like agent orange. She's got an armload of flowers. She asks the director if that's enough. He snorts. "That's a lot," he says. Next scene, no flowers, she's attacked and yada yada.

Desert Humiliation has some funny moments too. It features Justine, a willowy blond with small breasts. She's stuck in the middle of the desert on a dirt road. Her tire's flat and she can't change it. She's like totally ditzed. I mean she uses her brains for nothing but fertilizing her hair. She's wearing strippers, which she notes with dismay as she marches off to find help. A guy is hiding along the road. As she passes he tosses a stone across the road to distract her so she's looking the other way when he jumps out at her. Read that again and see if you can believe it the second time. It doesn't get any better.

The long pauses while the characters think of lines to improvise are excruciating. It comes down to he won't help her unless she strips off her sun dress. Which is cool, because I think sun dresses are really sexy, even more so when they're being taken off. He makes her take off her panties eventually which is also cool because it would really be threatening and sexy to be force marched nude in the middle of the desert. Eventually he ties her wrists behind her, leads her with a rope around her neck, and at one point bends her over and lightly whips her butt. She's not tied for the ass whipping, so the effect is slightly comical, like she's just putting up with it as any California girl would who's stuck in the middle of the desert and wants to get her tire changed.

In Katy: Tormented Thief, Katy, a really attractive woman, is suspected of stealing pot. She's laying out by the pool, the people who suspect her sneak up and tie her wrists to the pool fence. Now what nefarious torment would you employ from your armamentarium of torture to force this beautiful young creature to give up the goods? That's right, you'd smear her body with oil you sadistic pervert! And when that didn't work you would lightly spank her buttocks and tickle her! Oh, the humanity! Yeah, my self respect hit dangerously low levels there and I had to desist.
