Movie Review: Baitbuddies, 3rd Edition

BY VINCENT LAMBERT

Director: Edward James.
Cast: Shane, Orlando, Wes, Jacob, Bobby Clark, Andrea, Rome, TJ, Gregg, Joseph, Scott.

It’s a classic setup: Sleazy pornographer lures unsuspecting model to his studio and proceeds to trick, cajole and coerce said model into posing nude. In the case of Baitbuddies, shady director Edward James gets the models to do much more than pose naked. If you buy the reality-style premise, he drags an alleged straight stud to his tacky leather sofas and makes him think that he’s going to bang some hot babes. But when the fictional bimbos don’t show, the con man director talks them into trying sex with a decoy gay, offering extra money and guaranteeing that the scene will be seen only in a foreign market. It’s all very manipulative and gross, and the real fucking is nothing compared to the mind-fucking that straight-faced liar James gives these naive dudes. The no-name cast (with the exception of a fresh-faced Bobby Clark, who proclaims himself “a titty man”) is average and perhaps they’re all in on the joke, but in our experience, porn stars aren’t this good at acting. If sexual psychodrama turns you on, then Baitbuddies might do the trick. Otherwise, you’ll find it as exploitative, boring and depressing as we did. (Pure Play Media)

Movie Review: Boys of Buenos Aires

BY VINCENT LAMBERT

Director: Chad Donovan.
Cast: Max Schutler, Robinho DeSilva, Bruno, Andreas, Juan Pablo, Valentino, Daxel, Ulises.

It’s back to the streets of Argentina for director Chad Donovan and Jet Set’s Latin Heat Productions. Once again, cutie Max Schulter (is he in every movie shot there?) and his buddies show each other a good time in Boys of Buenos Aires. First, he and tattooed hunk Robinho DeSilva get nasty in the kitchen. They kiss and suck and DeSilva delivers some robotic topping, but the intense extreme close-ups of poles in holes saves the day—almost. Next, one-named wonders Bruno and Andreas makeout on the couch before stripping out of their jeans. This scene is short on oral but long on Andreas pounding the hell out of Bruno. So who’s complaining? Juan Pablo and Valentino are young and cute, but Pablo fucks like a straight guy and makes bottom boy Valentino do all the heavy lifting here. Daxel and Ulises are also easy on the eyes, but they lack chemistry and also endure some stark lighting that is less than flattering. Overall, the scenery is nice but some sort of plot or context might have helped the aimless sex. Back to the streets, guys! (Jet Set Men/Latin Heat Productions)

Movie Review: Everything You Wanted to Know About Gay Porn Stars…

BY VINCENT LAMBERT

Director: John Roecker
Cast: Johnny Hazzard, Jason Ridge, Nick Capra, Bret Wolfe, Jeremy Jordan, Jason Hawke, Nick Piston, Danny Vox, Joey Milano, Others.

Even though here! TV is in the business of marketing programing to the gays, that doesn’t mean it always presents its subject matter in the best possible light. Case in point: the documentary Everything You Wanted to Know About Gay Porn Stars *but were afraid to ask. This film from director John Roecker, which led to a six-part series that aired on the cable channel last year, boasts a big-name porn star cast, but it offers an anything but positive depiction of the gay adult industry. It starts predictably enough with an off-camera voice asking top stars such as Johnny Hazzard (above), Jason Ridge (below), Nick Capra, Bret Wolfe, Jeremy Jordan and Jason Hawke how they got their porn names, why they decided to get into the business (Capra did it to piss off his mother), what their first scene was like and other innocuous questions. But about halfway through, the questions and film take a turn toward the dark side. And we mean that literally as Roecker has photographed these mostly young and good-looking models in extremely unflattering and harsh lighting. Their faces are cast in shadow and the blank walls behind them give a gritty and unappealing look.

Though the coming-out stories remain upbeat (Jeremy Jordan tells a funny one about breaking the news of his sexual orientation to his grandmother during a family dinner), once the topic turns to escorting and drug abuse, the film becomes a one-way ticket to depression and doom. An emotional Joey Milano shares tales of his bareback work, which ultimately leads to a troubling story about a producer knowingly allowing a model with an STD to participate in a shoot. It’s no surprise when Milano reveals his HIV-positive status. One model shoots up on a toilet bowl and another smokes crack for the cameras. Ah, the glamour!

The film departs from the Q&A format to go on set with Nick Capra and his then-boyfriend as they shoot a scene together for this movie. This is ground that has already been covered (and to much better effect) in Ronnie Larsen’s revealing 1997 documentary Shooting Porn. When the boyfriend goes AWOL on a drug bender and then returns to beat up Capra, there’s a feeling that we’ve seen this story before. Every negative stereotype about gay porn and its workers is reinforced, and the subjects often seem one-dimensional and cliché. A brutally honest Capra and a thoughtful Jason Ridge musing on self-esteem and image come alive as fully formed humans, but most of the others just seem like they’re playing the part of a desperate porn star destined to a sad end.

Roecker uses vintage clips from films that depict homosexuals as threats to society and outcasts, but they do little to lighten the tone. Tattooed model Nick Piston gets the last word. After grappling with his own feelings of shame and insecurity, he ends the film on an almost positive note, but it’s too little, too late. Everything You Wanted to Know… has already ignored any of the fun, creativity and entertainment value that the industry might offer to gay men, and instead leads us to a dark and gloomy place, leaving its audience—and subjects—down and out.

Movie Review: Entrapment

BY VINCENT LAMBERT

Directors: Michael Lucas and Mr. Pam.
Cast: Ryan Raz, Dimitri Romanov, Vin Costes, Isaiah Foxx, Andrew James, Lars Svenson, Kayl O’Riley, Murphy Maxwell, Trae Angle.

Recent real-life events at Manhattan’s adult stores are the inspiration for Lucas Entertainment’s Entrapment. The film takes on the serious issue of gay men being falsely arrested for prostitution as they browse the aisles of a gay video shop (which just happens to display recent Lucas releases. Hey, no one ever said Michael Lucas was above a bit of shameless self-promotion!). In six scenes, we follow new Lucas exclusive Dimitri Romanov as he gets nailed—first by off-duty police officer Vin Costas, then by Costas’s smirky partner Ryan Raz (below), who entices Romanov at the bookstore then brings him in for questioning. Romanov was discovered by Lucas on a trip to his Russian homeland, and his English is minimal if nonexistent (proven in a DVD extra interview in which Lucas translates for the adorable young hunk). This makes his framing all the more unfair. There’s a contrived subplot in which Raz’s kid brother (Andrew James) comes out to him (after having hot interracial sex with Isaiah Foxx). But the centerpiece is Raz’s interrogation of Romanov after his arrest. Sure, Raz has a pretty prick and proves himself as a top, but the blond twink can barely keep a straight face during his dramatic scenes. Sadly, he just doesn’t have the gravitas to pull off a role of this nature. On a serious note, Lucas (who co-directs with Mr. Pam) shows up in the closing credits to lecture viewers on the importance of civil liberties—which is exactly what most porn viewers crave while they’re jacking!

Movie Review: Auditions, Vol. 26, Michael’s Bed

BY VINCENT LAMBERT

Director: Michael Lucas.
Cast: Michael Lucas, Jason Crew, Sebastian Rivers, Jack MacCarthy, Jackson Wild, Doucet.

The 26th installment in the Auditions series should come with a warning: If you’re not a fan of director and star Michael Lucas, stay away! The full-lipped Russian superstar appears in every scene, having sex with a bevy of porn stars and even one actual newcomer. First, Jason Crew discusses his awards and the many films he has made before diving into Lucas’s ample crotch. These two get off on lots of great kissing, sharing an electric connection and refusing to be distracted by what sounds like a party going on outside their hotel room. They soon progress to 69 action, and Lucas performs his patented helicopter fuck move. Crew offers up plenty of gaping-butthole close-ups, which seems to please Lucas. In the end, Crew splooges into his own mouth and Lucas feeds him what he missed. Besides the annoying ambient sound, this scene is a keeper. Thankfully, Sebastian Rivers doesn’t have to submit to one of those banal pre-sex interviews. He just goes right to sucking Lucas’s oversize meat. This leads to more 69 fun and eventually the beefy and surprisingly docile Rivers goes bottoms up. He and Lucas seem ill-suited, and poor sound mars a brief post-orgasm interview. The only newcomer, Cajun model Doucet, is the victim of glaring lighting and a badly edited cum shot. (He also gets pissed on by Lucas in the DVD extras.)

But it’s sexy Jack MacCarthy (back after working for Titan Media under a different name) who steals the show in what is set up as a solo scene. Hairy and handsome MacCarthy has a lithe dancer’s body, and he manages to twist himself into some provocative positions (there’s some brief self-sucking of his wet mushroom head) while jacking and talking seductively to Lucas off-camera. But the tension soon builds to the point where Lucas just steps in, unzips and starts pounding Jack’s perfect ass. There is real heat here as MacCarthy gives nasty verbal encouragement (including his willingness to take the Lucas load), all while looking young, fresh and innocent. Hot! Poor Jackson Wild has to follow this winning scene (better sequencing might have helped here), but the cute newbie does well, sucking and bottoming with energy (after divulging that he dated porn superstar Jason Ridge! Who knew?). However, this is Lucas’s show from start to finish. He performs like the porn veteran he is—displaying his still impressive physique and boundless sexual prowess—and directs with his usual iron fist. But the lack of production standards is troubling, especially for an auteur who has always been such a stickler for the details.

Movie Review: Auditions, Volume 28

BY VINCENT LAMBERT

Director: Michael Lucas.
Cast: Wilfried Knight, Claudio Martin, Ben Andrews, Ryan Raz, Brandon Williams, Murphy Maxwell, Blu Kennedy, Victor Steele, Michael Lucas.

Porn star Wilfried Knight recently returned to the Lucas Entertainment fold with Brothers’ Reunion. Now he’s back as the centerpiece of the latest Auditions movie, A Knight With Wilfried, appearing in two scenes that bookend the 28th (!) installment of the aging series. The first pairs the scruffy stud with onetime reality star Claudio Martin. But first the models must endure the standard grilling from director Michael Lucas. These interviews have grown increasingly tedious and incoherent and viewers will do themselves a favor by hitting the fast-forward button until they see some flesh. Knight and Martin have plenty of great flesh to show off, and they do lots of kissing, sucking and shrimping (now a Lucas standard) until Wilfried winds up on the bottom. Then, in the final scene, Knight flip-flop fucks with Victor Steele, but the hairy hunk still seems more natural on the receiving end.

In between, newbies Brandon Williams and Murphy Maxwell seem earnest about bringing some heat to their scene, but few sparks fly for this mismatched twosome. Vet star Ben Andrews does much better with cutie Ryan Raz, who manages to inhale most of Andrews’ renowned cock before riding it to completion. This scene ends with some snowballing as Andrews licks Raz’s load from his smooth torso then feeds him his own output. Add Andrews’ facial cum shot to Ryan, and you have Lucas pushing the envelope once more. The director appears in the next scene with redheaded hottie Blu Kennedy (who utters the only interview answer worth listening to when he calls out infamous top Lucas by asking, “Why don’t you bottom?”). Kennedy has a gorgeous beefy body, and his shock of hair, not to mention his big cock, make him an appealing star we never tire of watching.

At this point in his career, Lucas brings plenty of baggage to a scene, but he still knows how to fuck, which he does here, long and hard. Shaky camerawork mars some of the action, and most of the scenes take place in natural light in front of a big picture window, which allows viewers to see city buses as they stream by. It also means that the sound of traffic and wailing sirens often punctuate the action—not exactly a turn-on! (Lucas Entertainment)

Movie Review: Fired on the Set! Auditions 25

BY VINCENT LAMBERT

Director: Michael Lucas.
Cast: Joe Strong, Ago Viara, Colby Mitchell, Marco Rodriguez, Eddie Diaz, Sean Preston, Mike Adams, Tucker Forrest, Caleb Cole, Jason White, Michael Lucas.

There are six scenes in the 25th edition of Lucas Entertainment’s long-running Auditions series, including cute newbies Sean Preston and Mike Adams swapping blowjobs and handjobs, and director Michael Lucas performing his patented helicopter fuck on muscle queen Colby Mitchell. But let’s face it, the only scene anyone will remember or talk about is the titular tryout in which 18-year-old model Caleb Cole dares to speak out and stand up to the porn mogul and ends up getting sacked mid-scene.

It all starts well enough when Cole is paired with Tucker Forrest, who sucks the teenager’s surprisingly big dick. The oral goes on for a bit when Lucas begins giving direction from the sidelines. Cole seems to have a problem with some of the things he is being asked to do, especially when Lucas directs Forrest to start licking his feet. Cole calls bullshit and says, “I don’t do that!” He also doesn’t do armpit play, although he does agree to bottom! As the youngster makes his boundaries known, Lucas gets madder and madder, telling the model he is “a little difficult” and eventually calling a time-out. The director and crew depart, but a camera is left running (by chance?) on a side table as Cole plays with his cell phone and sits to ponder his future as a porn star. Eventually the scene is called off and the twink gets dressed and leaves the set—and despite the title, it’s unclear whether he quit or got fired. All of this makes for riveting cinema verité but lousy porn. Fortunately, the scenes mentioned above (most include facial cum shots) and the hot pairing of Italian Ago Viara (a former monk!) and Latino Joe Strong make this new entry worth a look, although Lucas’s preinterview with Viara and Strong goes on for an agonizing 20 minutes before any sex happens—which makes for lousy talk and lousy porn.

Movie Review: Brothers’ Reunion

BY VINCENT LAMBERT

Director: Michael Lucas.
Cast: Wilfried Knight, Arpad Miklos, Ben Andrews, Tommy Deluca, Jason Crew, Jackson Wild, Anthony Marks, Lady Bunny.

Lucas Entertainment capitalizes on the return of Wilfried Knight and his uncanny resemblance to Anthony Marks in Brothers’ Reunion. In the opening, Knight chats on his cell phone as he walks the mean streets of New York City, telling a friend that his long-lost brother has surfaced and he is about to meet him for the first time. Along the way, he stops to have a hot duo with manly Arpad Miklos, who also looks a bit like Knight with his scruffy beard and bulging muscles. This scene features what have become some Lucas standards, including pit licking and toe sucking, besides cocksucking and butt munching. Both guys perform admirably, especially Knight when he ends up on the bottom. As the city traffic streams by the window (a nice touch of verisimilitude), Miklos pumps the cum out of Knight then jacks on his foot.

Next, big Ben Andrews phones his buddy Wilfried and asks whether he knows any twinks that want his oversize cock. Tommy Deluca appears and goes to town, doing his best to deep throat and take it all up his small-framed ass. A big black buttplug also factors into the fun, and Deluca even manages to fist himself! We never thought we’d see the day when Andrews’ monster cock gets upstaged, but Deluca’s fisting feat comes close. An oral pop shot and some graphic snowballing cap the scene.

Jogger Jackson Wild meets a drunk Jason Crew (below) in a city park, and the guys retire to Crew’s aunt’s apartment to have a few beers. Of course this leads to wild sex on the dining room table. Crew, who sucks dick like a man possessed, is not one to be outdone, and he actually fucks himself (with his own dick!) in this scene. Eventually the cuties get around to flip-flop fucking and more oral cum shots. (Drag queen Lady Bunny ends the scene with an over-the-top cameo as Aunt Judy, who discovers the pair post-fuck and goes hysterical, collapsing into a blonde heap on the floor. Priceless!)

The final scene has Knight finally meeting up with look-alike sibling Marks. Obviously these bros have no problem making out and more, as long as their dad never finds out. Following Knight’s perfect match with Miklos, this duo feels anticlimactic and a bit rote. There is the same pits/toes/oral/anal scenario, but both models are into the sweaty action and perform to Lucas’s usual high standards. Extras disc includes watersports (with Wild and Crew, and Deluca soaking himself in both urine and a milk enema) and some amusing behind-the-scenes footage that Lady Bunny steals with her manic charms. Bring back Aunt Judy! (Lucas Entertainment)

Movie Review: Countryside

BY VINCENT LAMBERT

Director: Richie Oldmann.
Cast: Nick Daniels, Thomas Dexter, Paul Dubliner, Simon Dusek, Michael Getlin, Jakub Kostas, Chris Kral, Dion Philips.

The foreign cuties are back, and they’re wandering around in the woods in Countryside. The TitanMen Fresh line has found another idyllic location in Prague and brought together its latest finds to frolic in the great outdoors. Michael Getlin and Jakub Kostes are out for a stroll when they happen upon Chris Khal raking in the garden. He soon puts aside his work to have a steamy threeway in the lovely locale. There is lighthearted sucking and pop shots all around before the guys retire indoors for some serious fucking. All three models are young, smooth and uncut. And their passion for one another only intensifies as both Kostes and Khal top Getlin, who purrs like a kitten when they spew on him—or is that the fake dubbed moaning we always find so offensive? Probably the latter! Scene two has more moaning, but it also has adorable Nick Daniels and Dion Philips making out under a tree. These two also work the oral in the shade then move inside for a sweet fireside fuck. They go at it for so long that by the time they’re done, the fire has gone out!

Next, Thomas Dexter and Paul Dubliner are joined in the yard by Simon Dusek, and they all get busy blowing one another. But when Dexter drops his pants, Countryside has found its true star! Dexter is boyish, lean and lithe, but he’s got the cock of several full-grown men! Hung far and wide, he steals the show—and that’s in spite of his badly dyed blond hair. Somehow young Dubliner manages to bottom for Dexter then Dusek (also the victim of a funky dye job), and he seems to be in his glory receiving the loads at the end of this highly charged scene. It’s a fitting end for a movie short on dialogue (no subtitles) and plot but long on rustic charm and scenic beauty. (Titan Media/TitanMen Fresh)

Movie Review: Cruising Budapest V: The Mangiatti Twins

BY VINCENT LAMBERT

Director: Michael Lucas.
Cast: Michael Lucas, Peter Shadow, Enrico Bellagio, Fernando and Fabrizio Mangiatti, Flavio Valentino, Jack Laurel, Fabian Vincenzo, Rick Bauer, Steve Hunt.

It’s back to Budapest for Lucas and his crew. This time, he brings along the Mangiatti twins (Fernando and Fabrizio) to headline a major scene that is the centerpiece of this installment. But first, Rick Bauer snoozes while his buddy Peter Shadow decides to play with his rump. Of course, this awakens Bauer and begins a hot 69 session. These two flexible models even manage to do some 69 ass eating! Shadow tops (some great deep penetration shots here), and both guys jack in the end. Next, Flavio Valentino distracts Jack Laurel from his book with some cock sucking, which leads to a nice flip-flop fuck and Valentino being the taker of the loads.

But the main scene involves hairy Steve Hunt getting very intimate with the Mangiatti twins—and with them getting very intimate with each other. The scene starts with a sloppy threeway kiss that lasts way too long and feels way too icky if you stop to think about the bro’s relationship. But the duo soon moves on to blowing Hunt in perfect harmony, then he stuffs his mouth full of twin cock. They both go bottom’s up so Hunt can eat their identical holes. He even does double shrimping duty! It’s kinda creepy the way the twins move in unison, and the scene has a very staged and choreographed feel to it. There is no spontaneity in the action or among the performers. Hunt administers a double dildo up the guys’ asses and they moan together. Lucas enters the scene, perfectly lit and looking like a dream. He tops one of the pair while Hunt does the other. And they all shoot on one twin—don’t ask us which. Bonus disc includes a brief pissing scene, cast interviews (the twins admit to Jonathan Vargas that they do steroids) and behind the scenes of the brothers getting their holes prepped for that dildo. Mama must be so proud. (Lucas Entertainment)

Movie Review: Derec’s Dilemma

BY VINCENT LAMBERT

Director: Edward James.
Cast: Derec Stone, Ty Colt, Marcus Steel, Cody Summers, Travis Hardman, Gabe Tyner.

Derec’s Dilemma ain’t exactly Sophie’s Choice. Muscle hunk Derec Stone’s big decision in this film from director Edward James centers around who he’s gonna screw at his bachelor party. Will it be the skanky stripper hired by best man Ty Colt? Or, when she won’t put out for the agreed-upon fee, will it be his accommodating bud Gabe Tyner? But before the groom gets to have his fun, his friends prep for the big night. Tyner and Cody Summers blow up balloons while Colt goes on a beer run, but soon both men are blowing straight guy Ty. Gabe sucks him in the kitchen, which leads to a dull, by-the-numbers fuck. Summers gets his fill of Colt cock in the bathroom, and does a much better job on the bottom. He moans appreciatively while riding cowboy style, and he also takes a nice cum facial.

Later, at the party, Southern stud Marcus Steel gets horned up by all the action that Stone has been promised, so Summers helps by sucking him and husky Travis Hardman, too. Cody bends over for Travis and takes more jizz from both. The final scene has Stone and his guests screening a porn movie, which inspires Summers to suck and bottom once again—after the other guys politely excuse themselves so the groom can get his nut.

The lame dialogue seems mostly improvised, and the party sequence, in which each guest toasts Derec, goes on longer than Benjamin Button. But Stone and Colt have gorgeous bodies (and both have been snatched up for exclusive contracts with Jet Set Men and Falcon Studios, respectively, since this film was shot), and if they’re not the greatest performers yet, those well-muscled physiques go a long way. Extras include behind-the-scenes footage in which Colt gives a shout-out to his girlfriend. So much for typecasting. (Edward James Productions/Pure Play Media)

Movie Review: Straight Studs Stroking

BY VINCENT LAMBERT

Director: David Daju.
Cast: Vin Sin, Scorpio, Kyle Stone, Jamie Blue, Jay Walker, Brandon Lakes, Jake Wolfe, Johnnie Carvajal, Peter Michaels.

All nine models in Straight Studs Stroking make a point of saying just how straight they are, but since when do heterosexuals tweeze their eyebrows, dye their hair and shave off their pubes? No matter, at least most of the guys here fulfill the “stud” part of the title. Cleverly named Vin Sin (or he seems to think so anyway) has a smooth, taut physique that the camera lovingly lingers over, giving viewers plenty of time to admire it—and perhaps take their attention away from his weird greasy hair. Scorpio is a scrawny Latino who thinks he’s God’s gift to women. Too bad this is gay porn. Next, Jamie Blue does a cheesy striptease that might pass at a Chippendale’s audition but is less than a turn-on here. The rest of the crew pretty much performs standard jack-off scenes, with the exception of sexy real-guy Brandon Lakes (below), who has a natural furry body, pierced nips and leaks tons of pre-cum, showing just how excited he is to be filming his standout solo. Model Johnnie Carvajal is more, er, mature than the others, but he is also hung big and delivers a violent orgasm for the camera. Chicago-based Corkscrew Media Group and director David Daju seem committed to producing quality porn, but these Studs, regardless of their sexual orientation, can only take them so far.

Movie Review: My Brother’s Hot Friend, Vol. 3

BY VINCENT LAMBERT

Director: Jim Steel.
Cast: Victor Steele, Jason Michaels, Marcos David, Nash Lawler, Emilio Sands, Tommy Defendi, Jack Ryan, Marcus Steele, Chase Evans, Holden.

Director Jim Steel is back with a group of hot guys who get down and dirty then furtively whisper, “Don’t tell my brother!” Volume 3 of My Brother’s Hot Friend starts on a high note with cover models Victor Steele and Jason Michaels cavorting in a pool. They soon move to a lounge chair where they make out and rub cocks. Michaels gets his face fucked by Steele’s rock-hard cock before Steele (and his gorgeous body) top the hairy little cutie. Next, Nash Lawler is visiting a property his sibling suggested and is being shown around by a hefty Marcos David. These two end up kissing, with David doing the brunt of the sucking and then bottoming for Lawler, who needs to give the trite porn dialogue (“Yeah, you like that big dick, don’t you?”) a rest. Tommy Defendi also must have attended the school of bad porn acting, based on his scene with Emilio Sands, who supposedly forgets his brother is on vacation but shows up to seduce his roommate anyway. Defendi has a big cock and fucks nicely, so we’ll forgive his flat line readings.

Putting both Lawler and Defendi to shame is charming porn vet Jack Ryan, who is as attractive as ever and makes his setup with Marcus Steele (another Steele!?!) totally believable. It’s the morning after game night at his brother’s house, and Ryan bets roomie Steele that he can win his belt in a friendly round of dominoes, which is just an excuse for Ryan to rub Steele’s crotch before blowing him. Steele tops with ease and ends up jacking a facial onto Jack while getting his balls tongued. Our only complaint is that Ryan’s own hot bod and sweet cock are not given enough screen time. The final scene offers twinks Chase Evans and Holden moving boxes before they get into some sex play. Eventually they both jack into their own mouths. Wonder whether that’s a trick their bros taught them! (Suite 703)

Movie Review: Road Trip 6: Temptation Ranch

BY VINCENT LAMBERT

Director: Peter Romero.
Cast: Ridge Michaels, Jared, Nick Cross, Lee Stephens, Wade Wilder, David West.

The sexy young stars of Jocks’ Road Trip, Volume 6 head out of town and wind up at Temptation Ranch, a lovely rustic location where they dispense with plot and get right down to business in four lively scenes. Hot-bodied Jared (one name only) and cutie Nick Cross hang out on a picnic table and chat a bit before Cross performs major head on Jared’s big dick. This excellent oral leads to Jared fingering then topping Cross. There’s great chemistry here, and Jared seems quite experienced despite his tender age. Cover models Ridge Michaels and Wade Wilder are also young and cute. These two sweat it out in the bright sunshine and Michaels expertly fucks Wilder’s face before getting to his ass.

Next, there is some staged footage of the cast swimming and frolicking at the scenic ranch. It all feels kind of forced and unnatural, especially when followed by the six-man orgy in which the guys perform sex in a totally real way, pretty much oblivious to the camera. Our favorite move is when the three cocksuckers simply stop sucking and rotate to the next big cock! Again, top men Jared and Michaels steal the show with their sexual skills. There is a fourth scene in which twink David West and nasty Lee Stephens get cozy by a red train, but it feels tacked on because they are both part of the previous orgy. Yet that’s a small complaint, considering the other treats this Road Trip has to offer. Picture quality is fine, though the sound could have been better in places and some dialogue is lost to the blaring rock soundtrack. (Jocks/Falcon Studios)

Movie Review: Dealers

BY VINCENT LAMBERT

Director: Roman Senko.
Cast: Jiri, Thomas, Pavel, Jan, Erik, David, Robert.

The shady characters of Dealers hang out in a seedy bar and play video games. They sit at little tables and whip out big bags of cocaine. They also seduce the bartender into having sex with them. At least that’s what happens in the first scene. Three models from the Czech Republic act like scumbags, wheeling and drug dealing, then one of them grabs the bartender and starts making out with him. Soon the four men are going at it right there on the video machines. There’s the usual sucking, fucking and cumming, eventually right on the video machine! Next, two horny cops accost a nerdy businessman (the “plot” is hard to decipher as there are no subtitles) and spank him on top of a Star Trek video game. The cops blow him, he blows them but in a twist, the bespectacled twink winds up on top (and he keeps his glasses on for both the oral and the anal!). This studious stud also delivers a major cum shot. In the final scene, two cuties play a race car game at the video arcade before playing with each other. They are young and thin, but someone should have taught them how to kiss. Their butterfly tonguing is almost as annoying as the dreadful disco soundtrack that pounds throughout the movie. In a puzzling ending, they are taken away in handcuffs. Guess these dealers will have to deal with prison. Sequel, anyone? (Galaxia Entertainment)

Rewind: Pickle Lickers

BY VINCENT LAMBERT

Directors: Uncredited.
Cast: Wes Daniels, Dylan Fox, Tony Belmonte, Buster, Chuck Grady, Don Edward, Tony Miles, Jason Broderick, Ron Nelson, Beau David, Sean Carrera, Mark Steel, Grant King, Rob Cryston, B.J. Slater, Flex Gamble, Rickey Parker, York Powers, Rod Abbott, Miguel Perez, Chad Lowe, Giorgio Falconi, Ty Thomas.

The vintage scenes in Pickle Lickers will bring back fond memories of movies and porn stars past. Most of the scenes in this solid compilation are from at least 10 years ago (including a few pre-condom) and feature some familiar faces, including Wes Daniels (so hot and hairy being worked over by two undercover cops in a scene from Body Search), Mark Steel (sporting a scoop-neck tank top for his duo in Cruising Park) and even B.J. Slater (in an early scene with Dylan Fox in The Drifters). The quality of the transfer varies widely here, with lots of fuzzy pictures, discoloration, faded colors and overall graininess, but the integrity of these seminal works remains in tact. There once was a time when making porn was creative, artistic and edgy, almost an act of rebellion, and these 14 classic scenes, weighing in at a whopping four hours, convey that with every bad ’80s hairdo, ripped pair of jeans and squishy waterbed.

Movie Review: Hot Jocks Nice Cocks, Vol. 3

BY VINCENT LAMBERT

Director: Jim Steel.
Cast: Rod Daily, Tommy Blade, Dempsey Stearns, Kirk Cummings, Nash Lawler, Tristan Mathews, Jasper St. John, Lee Stephens, Tommy Defendi, Felix Andrews, Victor Steele.

Veteran director Jim Steel is back for another go with his Hot Jocks Nice Cocks series. In this third group of scenes produced for the Internet, the focus is once again on athletes. Cover models Rod Daily and Tommy Blade are baseball players who share a tender makeout session in the locker room. Their excellent kissing is followed by Blade moving directly to Daily’s butthole. From there, they suck and jack. Hairy Dempsey Stearns is running sprints in the gym with cutie Kirk Cummings. When Cummings gets a cramp, Stearns moves in to massage it and ends up topping and delivering a long-distance pop shot. Nash Lawler is a built yoga teacher who stretches client Tristan Mathews before giving him a hard fuck. The high point is Lawler shouting “Motherfucker!” as he jacks on Mathews’ pierced and tattooed chest.

Lee Stephens and Tommy Defendi are working out with bud Jasper St. John, but when the wispy blond can’t keep up, they tell him they’re going to “fuck him like a bitch.” St. John is coaxed (yeah, right!) into blowing them before going bottoms up. He also takes their major loads on his smooth chest. In the final scene, boxing coach Victor Steele gives some pointers to student Felix Andrews. Again, this leads to love—or at least lust—in the locker room. When Steele and Andrews rub their lubed dicks together while kissing and making eye contact, the scene soars. Steele, who has a perfect body, tops and the guys cum on each other. Score! All the scenes here are tightly edited and to the point, and the action is mostly inspired. If fans missed these scenes online, this is a great way for them to catch up. (Suite 703)
