Movie Review: Unknown

BY VINCENT LAMBERT

Director: Chi Chi LaRue.
Cast: Blake Riley, Tommy Blade, Vinnie D’Angelo, Nash Lawler, Dominik Rider, Trystian Sweet, Jackson Wild, Chad Hunt, Coby Mitchell.

Unknown finds director Chi Chi LaRue tackling a rare story film that casts exclusive Blake Riley in a touching tale of love lost and found. In a sweet script by Eddie Stone, Riley meets his boyfriend (Trystan Sweet) after standing up blind date Vinnie D’Angelo. But a year later, Riley finds himself receiving mysterious text messages that attempt to bring the lost lovers together. But first, we get to experience the many joys of Riley and Sweet when they are a twosome. The opening sex scene of Unknown is a stunner as the couple get together in a gorgeous shower. There is lots of great kissing and sucking, and both models stay rock-hard throughout. Riley gets his hairy hole eaten before Sweet pounds him. Both guys have great bodies and their connection is palable—which only makes Riley’s loss all the sadder as he mopes around after Sweet is gone.

While selling their house, Riley leaves interested buyers Tommy Blade and Coby Mitchell alone in the kitchen and, of course, they end up screwing on the countertops. Blade is a pro and he puts newcomer Mitchell through his paces nicely. Riley’s bud Chad Hunt calls and invites him to a fourgy but Riley begs off, so Hunt shares his big cock with Jackson Wild, Dominik Rider and Nash Lawler instead. Wild is the first of the studs to go crazy on Hunt’s dick, performing a deep, wet suck. The guy practically impales his head on the thing! But that is only the start. Hunt eats out Lawler’s ass, then Lawler tops Rider and Hunt rams Wild, who screams and emotes in a very real way that is rarely seen in porn.

Star-crossed lovers Riley and D’Angelo finally meet when their texts match up, exchanging smiles at a restaurant that is always oddly deserted. This leads to a bedroom scene, where the manly D’Angelo is paired with the boyish Riley. They both perform admirably, with Riley working D’Angelo’s big nips and D’Angelo manipulating Riley’s butt with expertise. Blake rides Vinnie in two positions and even delivers not one but two cum shots. Riley has won several awards this year, including Best Newcomer at the GAYVNs, and with Unknown he achieves true star status and fulfills his promise. He is fantastic to look at and fully committed to his scenes and partners. We know a superstar when we see one, and Blake Riley is it! (Channel 1 Releasing)

Movie Review: Magic Mirror

BY VINCENT LAMBERT

Director: Cristian Ferrero.
Cast: Caio Barcellos, Luke, Yuri Prado, Tiago, Denis, Marcio Costa, Cristian Torquato, Thiago Dutra.

A bit of street cruising leads cute Caio Barcellos on an erotic journey that starts with the discovery of the titular Magic Mirror, which allows him to see sexual encounters when he looks into it. The twink follows muscular Luke into a deserted building where he goes through the looking glass to have a hot encounter with Tiago. Sure, they are actually on a tacky set consisting of loud leopard prints draped everywhere, but their sex is good enough to get Barcellos worked up. He walks around the mirror again and again but can’t seem to break the glass. Then Denis enters and goes to the other side for some hot oral with a hooded Cristian Torquato, who gets his mouth stuffed with uncut cock in some intense close-ups. Eventually, Marcio Costa shows up in a bizarre toga outfit and takes mercy on the newbie, feeding him his fat dick and banging him from behind. Barcellos never figures out the mystery, but at least he gets off. There’s some sluggish editing here and the droning soundtrack will make viewers want to hit the mute button, but the foreign cast manages to make this Mirror shine. (Arena Entertainment)

Short Takes: Bruno Snags Two Studs…and More

The New York Daily News picked up on our story last week about talent manager David Forest, but it named names. (Actually, we knew the names that Rush and Molloy named in their gossip column, but we weren’t allowed to reveal them…yet.) Now it can be known that the two models Forest landed parts for in a mainstream project are Tony Capucci (above) and Tyler Saint. Both porn stars will be appearing in the new movie from actor-writer Sacha Baron Cohen titled Bruno: Delicious Journeys Through America for the Purpose of Making Heterosexual Male in which he plays a flamboyant fashion journalist. They performed in an orgy scene that was filmed at the Aramano Hotel in Burbank. Forest similarly got the former Stonie (now known as Brittany Coxxx) the part of Cohen’s son in the megahit Borat. If Bruno does half of what Borat did, Capucci and Saint will be widely seen next summer.…Retired porn star (and current CEO of his own production company) Collin O’Neal also flirted with the mainstream last week when a video he shot in Paris was chosen as a featured story by CNN.com’s user-generated iReport.com. Hairy hunk O’Neal writes that the vid featured “my commentary on how different Europeans and especially the French have been treating Americans abroad since the election of Barack Obama.” To hear Collin’s views and see him rocking a funky mohawk, click here.…We’re hearing that COLT man Luke Garrett (below) is retiring from the big biz. The shaved-headed muscle stud has appeared in numerous movies, including Hawaii and Wide Strokes, and will also be featured in the latest COLT release from director John Rutherford, Inside Out. Wonder whether that will be his swan song.

News: Reese Rideout Nabs Man of Year Title

Our friends at Men magazine named their Man of the Year this weekend, and the lucky recipient of the annual honor is Randy Blue exclusive Reese Rideout. The announcement was made on Friday night by Dustin Tyner, publisher of the Regent Media publications Men, Freshmen and Unzipped, at a weekly L.A. club night at MJ’s in Silver Lake. From what we hear, the bar was packed and numerous Randy Blue models were on hand to celebrate with sexy Rideout, who danced the night away and posed with his Man of the Year cover. He follows in the, er, oversize footsteps of last year’s winner, Johnny Castle. For more information, visit menmagazine.com.

Event: Nationwide Protest Against CA’s Prop 8

In case you guys have been too busy watching gay porn to notice, the hateful Prop 8 passed last week in California. Over the past nine days, tens of thousands of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people and their supporters have taken to the streets of Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego to show their outrage with the outcome of the vote, which provides for a Constitutional Amendment to prohibit same-sex marriage rights (sadly, similar amendments and propositions were passed in both Arizona and Florida). But according to the No on 8 Campaign, the fight is not over. On Saturday, November 15, the LGBT community and their supporters will show their numbers in what could be the largest organized protest since the Civil Rights Movement. To date, more than 250,000 individuals have pledged to take part in the nationwide event, in which they will descend upon the city halls and state capitols in their states and on the nation’s Capitol to make their voices heard. The protest is scheduled to take place in all 50 states and the District of Columbia at the same time: 1:30 pm ET, 12:30 pm CT, 11:30 am MT and 10:30 am PT this Saturday, November 15. Those interested in attending this historic event may find their local protest location by visiting www.jointheimpact.com or clicking here. The organizers of this nationwide event have stressed that it, like the protests that have taken place over the past week, will also be a peaceful demonstration. The message is simple yet loud: Equal rights for all! So whether you’re gay or straight, black or white, porn fan or not, now is the time to stand up and be counted. See you there!

News: David Forest Returns With New Ventures

David Forest is on the phone. Fresh out of rehab, the flamboyant talent manager sounds happy and healthy after spending the past three months in a facility near Palmdale, California. “I’m glad I endured prison years ago,” the almost-60-year-old laughs, referring to his incarceration in the ’90s on pandering charges. “It got me used to living the institutionalized life!”

Forest, who sold his business in a highly publicized deal with FabScout Entertainment last July, was supposed to be in for four months but was released after three following a judge’s decision. He is now back at home in Van Nuys—with a bit of extra weight, he admits—and ready to start the next chapter of his life. “I learned that drugs and alcohol are for the birds,” Forest says. “I think, 35 years of partying, what a waste of a lot of money! Sobering up, I can see everything clearly now. I can see the shit of this smut business.”

That’s the biz that has kept Forest working with porn superstars such as Ryan Idol, Ken Ryker and Billy Herrington for the past 27 years. And even though he’s been out of action, his clients were still in the spotlight, thanks to deals he set up before selling his company. Superstar Zeb Atlas, currently making a splash in Falcon Studios’ Best Men, had Forest negotiate for both his oral and topping scenes earlier this year. “Zeb’s movie is a tremendous hit and he is a tremendous star,” Forest boasts. “I got him a lot of money for those two scenes. Now, he’s done it all. What else does he want to do? He may want to produce his own movies. Who knows?”

Another Forest favorite is bodybuilder Mark Dalton, who is still in prison in Texas. Forest says he is likely to return to the industry soon. “Mark gets out on February 16. He’s doing all right. He knows he fucked up and will hopefully be ready to get back to work. We’ll see.” In the meantime, Forest has launched Forest Meetings, a new incarnation of his private-meeting program, where he initiates introductions between stars and their, er, fans. “I love connecting men to the models,” Forest says. “And I’ve got some great new guys, including Brent Diggs, who has done work for the Randy Blue Web site; Rocky Sanoma; Adam Killian, who co-stars with Zeb in his big Best Men scene; and adorable Jonathan Lowe. Of course, I still have Zeb Atlas, Johnny Castle, Tony Capucci and Billy Brandt, who is living in Denver and returning to private work.”

Forest, who worked in the music industry for many years pre-porn managing artists such as ZZ Top, Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham, is also planning a return to the mainstream. He has created Forest Casting, a company that will book gay porn talent in mainstream movie, TV and Internet projects. “Who better to do full frontal or simulated gay sex in major projects than guys who do it for real in porn?” Forest asks. He says he has gotten two top models work in an upcoming motion picture in which they use their real names in the credits. But he promises they will be recognizable to porn fans. “I’ll be doing casting for nonadult mainstream productions only,” he says. “I won’t be representing talent. I’m no longer in the gay XXX management business and will not in any way compete with the folks who bought my former company.”

And he says he will also stay on the path of clean-and-sober living. “I have no interest in drugs and alcohol now,” Forest says. “I have lived 60 years, and I want to live another 60.” And he hints, he might even have time now to work on that long-awaited book about his life. “I just keep living and adding chapters!” he says.

Short Takes: Vote NO on Prop 8…and More

Readers who live in California have an important vote to cast tomorrow (besides the obvious one). Celebrities such as Cher, Ellen DeGeneres, Brad Pitt and others have come out in favor of voting NO on Prop 8, which is an anti-marriage amendment to the California state constitution that would impinge on the basic human rights of gay people. Now fitness director Sam Page (left, who in a former life was Sam Tyson, a porn star we interviewed) has posted a video on his Peace Love Lunges Web site that makes the choice a no-brainer. Amen, Sam. Click here to watch.…The director of Deep Throat has died. Gerard Damiano passed away last week at age 80 in a hospital in Fort Myers, Florida, after suffering a stroke in September. His groundbreaking 1972 film, which starred Linda Lovelace and Harry Reems, made history as the first porn movie to go mainstream and earned an estimated $600 million. Lovelace, who died in 2002, was recently the subject of a musical in Los Angeles.…Porn veteran Will Clark wants you to jerk off, or at least tell him your hottest j/o stories in the comments section at his site, WillClarkWorld.com. Share by Wednesday, November 5, and then Will will write a steamy blog entry describing his own favorite beat-off session. “After all this election and economy mania,” Clark says, “I can’t think of anything the country needs more than to shoot a big, fat, white globby load to relieve the pressure.”
