CelebrityMovieArchive.com is an archive of celebrity movies. The end. Haha! Just kidding. But really, the whole site is as straightforward as the name. They seem to have a large collection of movie clips of various singers, actresses, models and even a few porn stars. The tour is easy to follow and seems to acurately illustrate what they have inside. This feels like a no bs site that could be an excellent resource for material for celeb fantasies.
Instead of monthly subscriptions, CMA has created a token system for watching their video clips. Clips start at $2.95 for 100mb of download. Each video clip averages 13mbs so for $2.95 you get about 7 downloads. 13mbs is about 1 minute of video. Some of the clips are much shorter and some are longer. All in all it seems a little bit pricey to me. You're basically getting 7 minutes of entertainment for $3. If the average paysite is $30/month, then the equivalent time spent would be 70 minutes. I would assume that most members spend more than 70 minutes in a paysite each month. Thus, the token system ends up costing more. However, the token system does have some advantages. For instance, if this month you're really busy and won't have time to browse your favorite adult site, then no worries, you won't be charged. Your tokens will stay with you forever. In addition to that, you're only paying for what you use. If you really only want to see Molly Ringwald getting down and dirty and no one else, then that will only cost you $3, not $30. It's a toss up which is the better deal. This is just something to consider when trying to decide which celeb site to join. By the way, it would cost you about $1,460 to view the entire site.
Navigation is very simple. Upon entering the member's area, you are presented with all the letters of the alphabet which you can click on to browse the celebrities by last name. After you've chosen who you'd like to view, you'll see a list of all of the celebrity's available clips, along with a brief synopsis, how long the clip is, whether there is nudity and how many mbs the clip is. Upon choosing a clip, there are four screen caps that serve as a preview of the clip. You're also told how many credits you'll have left if you download the clip. Overall I think the way the site is laid out is very good. One suggestion I think would improve upon the site would be to have thumbnail headshots of the celebs when browsing (I didn't recognize probably about 75% of them by name). Otherwise it's good. You can browse or search for celeb by name. Additionally, once you've downloaded the clips, they are available to download multiple times withing the following 24 hours.
The collection of movies here is impressive. There are currently 6,400 clips available, closely rivaling other celeb skin sites. The quality here ranges from good to excellent. Video clips are pulled from tv shows, live interviews, and movies (some in vhs quality and others in crystal clear hi-res dvd quality). Overall I was very satisfied with the quality of the clips. There are many actresses and singers listed that I had never heard of, but any big star who has ever shown cleavage is also listed. It may take a while to sort through the unknowns to find the jackpots. Most of the clips are non-nudity and instead show the celeb in a bikini, skimpy dress, or undergarments. The ones that do contain nudity are clearly marked. Accompanying each clip are 4 screen caps of the clip to give you an idea of what you'll see when downloaded. The screen caps are about 200x300, average quality and really only serve the purpose of preview. Don't join expecting galleries of photos. This is, after all, Celebrity MOVIE Archive.
Overal CMA serves its purpose well. The directory is clean and nicely designed. The collection is large and the quality is very good. The token system may or may not work in the surfer's favor, depending on what your viewing habits are. All in all, it's worth a shot. I definitely recommend taking the tour of this site. They very clearly list what clips they have along with preview pics. The only difference between the member's area and the free area is the member's area has the actual clips. So take a peek and see if they've got your favorites or anything new. CMA is a well done site.

Celebrity Movie Archive has remained largely unchanged in the eight months since we've visited, with the only real change being the increase in the number of video clips from 6,945 to 8,015. I spent some time looking around, though, and have tweaked my score a bit. I'm increasing my update score to better reflect the fact that they update multiple times per day (impressive!). I'm also increasing my quantity score in response to the addition of over a thousand new clips. I'm bumping down my curve a bit, though, because I believe my pre-existing score of 86.5 remains on target. Celebrity Movie Archive really is a great database of celeb porn. The token system is really what is putting the ceiling on the score. It's near impossible to get the same value for your money on a token based site versus a typical membership site. However, as I said previously if you're just interested in the clips of one specific celeb this should be right up your alley. Just be aware that the quality, quantity and ease of navigation will probably bring you back for more.
Score remains at 88.2.

We're quickly approaching two years since our last visit to Celebrity Movie Archive and what have they got to show for it? How about 4,400 new movie clips and 1,100 new celebrities! Sweet! Not much else has changed here which is just fine with me. They've got a solid set-up, nice looking content, and large daily updates. What's not to like? Ok, the pricing structure may not be up everyone's alley but it's not bad. I'm refining my individual scores a bit but my total will remain the same. Definitely a quality join for those after all the glamour of Entertainment Tonight with a hell of a lot more skin.
Score decreased from 88.2 to 86.5.
