It’s Saturday afternoon on Manhattan’s trendy Upper West Side. As students of nearby Columbia University enjoy the crisp fall weather outside, Tyson Cane and his crew are working up a sweat inside. Cane, casually dressed in a dark shirt and jeans, is padding around a friend’s apartment in white socks. He is busy prepping a scene for his third video as writer-producer-director. His first two (Manhattan Fantasies and Freak Factor) were produced with former business partner Enrico Vega. Now on his own, Tyson is a multihyphenate on a mission.

In the living room, two models are positioned on a green leather sofa as Cane sets up a shot. Though the air conditioner is on, the elaborate lighting is quickly heating up the area. Photographer Junior (who is also a part-time model) is taking pictures with a digital camera as Cane grabs his 35mm. They both do some glamour shots of the models before the scene begins. Cane explains that due to requests from different publications, he usually shoots both digital and 35mm film.

Also on-set are porn stars Mario Ortiz, a close friend of Cane’s, who is consulting, and Felipe Eller, who co-stars and also inspired the movie being shot today. Eller and Cane met online several months ago. When Cane discovered that Eller was starting his own escort agency, he was intrigued. “I know people are fascinated by escorts, so I said to Felipe, ‘We should make a movie about your new agency.’ ” Sensing a promotional bonanza in the making, Eller quickly agreed. They even decided to title the film after the agency, OhBoyEscorts.com.

The now-naked models—Dimitri Santiago, who has appeared in numerous videos over the past six years, and Igor, a boyish Brazilian making his porn debut—pose and get playful with each other. Cane gets behind his tripod and dons headphones. He instructs Junior to turn off the A/C (too noisy) and directs the models to kiss. The scene is officially under way with kissing, tongue-fucking, blowjobs. After about 20 minutes, Cane calls for a break. The sweaty models towel off while Junior mops up the leather sofa. The A/C goes back on. Igor is excited about the progress of his first scene. “This is fun!” he exclaims to Eller. “I get to have sex with a gorgeous guy. I like it!”

Cane calls the models over to touch up their makeup and discuss the next setup with them. He jumps on the sofa and demonstrates exactly what he wants. Next, he debates how to get a safer-sex message into the movie. A line he has scripted about condom use ends up sounding preachy when Dimitri rehearses it. So it is decided that when Dimitri reaches for a condom, he will hold it up and instruct Igor, who plays a newbie escort learning the ropes, “And whenever you’re on the job, don’t forget these!” After Dimitri repeats the line a couple of times, Cane seems pleased.

While Igor is photographed solo on the sofa, Dimitri focuses on his wood. After a couple of minutes, Dimitri is hard. Igor stares at his erection. “That is big!” he says, wide-eyed. Cane calls for action, and Dimitri enters Igor doggy-style. It goes without a hitch. Ortiz and Eller exchange a silent glance with raised eyebrows. Igor used both hands to spread his cheeks. This part of the scene goes smoothly. However, as Dimitri pounds away at Igor’s tight bottom, the sofa starts to zip across the floor. Cane adjusts his camera accordingly. After several minutes, Cane ask, “Igor, are you doing okay?” Igor says he needs a break, and Cane immediately complies.

After a few minutes of rest, the fucking resumes. A couple of positions later, it’s time for cum shots. Igor is feeling a bit shy, so Cane sets the camera and he and the other on-set observers retire to the bathroom, providing some privacy for the video virgin. Several minutes later some loud moans are heard from the set. Dimitri calls out, “Okay, he’s done!” and we all regroup to witness Dimitri’s cum shot. Being the professional he is, it doesn’t take long or require privacy. As the scene winds down, the models starts to kiss. Almost immediately, the lights and camera die!

The culprit is a blown fuse, which Junior promptly fixes. Cane is relieved that the scene was completed. Cool air streams in, and Igor jumps up and hits the shower. Dimitri lounges in a towel and gives a tour of his tattoos. (“I designed them all myself,” he says. “My cousin did most of them, but then he went to jail.”) Cane and Junior begin packing up the equipment, but not before watching some footage on the camera’s display. “It looks really good, ” Cane says. Then to Eller, “I really hope we can make this a series!”

Movie Review: Lust Counseling

BY VINCENT LAMBERT

Director: Mike Donner.
Cast: Kent Larson, Jason Branch, Brad Benton, Jack Ryan, Dante Foxx, Park Wiley, John Marcus, Josh Williams, Tyler Austinn, Andy Kirra.

Adonis Pictures enters the crowded field of porn production companies with this tale of four couples who attend a spiritual retreat to salvage their sex lives. The horny bunch is given guidance by hunky Kent Larson and Jason Branch (who has some good fun with a bad Ahnuld Schwarzeneger accent). Reluctant Jack Ryan (in need of a haircut) and gung-ho boyfriend Brad Benton (in need of a diet) arrive at the camp and stumble upon Adonis exclusive Andy Kirra and Park Wiley practicing their technique in the woods with counselor Larson. These are two of the whitest boys you will ever see—and the harsh outdoor lighting doesn’t help. This flip-flopping duo gets things started on a rocky note, but it’s onward and upward. Couples Dante Foxx and John Marcus (he of the hot hairy chest) and Tyler Austinn and Josh Williams (also pale as ghosts) learn their lessons by swapping mates. That is, after Branch strums his guitar in encouragement. Some nice overhead shots of the four models help this scene rise above the standard. Old pros Ryan and Benton return for the hottest scene. These two know how to have on-screen sex, though Ryan does appear the teensyest bit bored by the doings. Benton’s creative way of applying a condom seems to help. The final scene pulls out all the stops when the 10-man cast gathers on one blanket for a big ole orgy. This sequence brings the varied group together, so there’s something for everyone. Lust Counseling is a solid entry into the jizz biz for Adonis. There are some problems with inconsistent sound and hot lighting, but for the most part picture quality is fine and the scenery is lovely to look at. Director Mike Donner has some fun with the script and the mixed cast goes along for the ride. Extras include a look behind the scenes with Benton doing his best obnoxious-host shtick.

Movie Review: Flex

BY VINCENT LAMBERT

Director: Chris Steele.
Cast: Kane O’Farrell, Erik Rhodes, Jason Hawke, Tyler Marks, Ace Hanson, Pete Ross, Alex Rossi, Jason Kingsley, Jason Spear, Solo.

New Falcon exclusive Kane O’Farrell has the luck of the Irish in Flex. The stunning stud with the lilting accent plays a gym owner who can’t help but score with his clientele. No wonder husky Jason Hawke gets comped on his first visit. He also gets a lot more, but that isn’t until the final scene. First, ripped Ace Hanson is on the receiving end of a massage from O’Farrell, complete with happy ending. The energy in this scene is great, and O’Farrell proves to be an expert cocksucker and impressive top. Next, bodybuilders Erik Rhodes and Alex Rossi lift more than weights while Solo looks on. These guys sure know how to use a bench! O’Farrell returns for a nasty j/o scene in front of a mirror, talking dirty as he plans to conquer Hawke’s butt. The big fun begins, though, with a sexy fourgy featuring newbies Pete Ross, Tyler Marks, Jason Kingsley and Jason Spear. Multipierced Ross and tattooed Marks get things started by trading blowjobs while supercute Spear does the voyeur bit. Soon he and Kingsley join in, with the four guys swapping spit and much more. Ross even takes on a large dildo before bottoming for the group. This strawberry blondie holds the scene together, sucking with glee and thoroughly enjoying all the cocks. His eyes light up like a kid on Christmas morning as each of the models spurt on him. In the fifth and final scene, O’Farrell finally nails Hawke, following a hot boxing lesson. These two suck, rim and eventually fuck. All in all, Flex boasts excellent picture quality, videography and editing. The muscular cast will win over the bodybuilder crowd. Plus, O’Farrell has a beautiful body and dick, and he knows how to work the camera and his co-stars. Looks like another Falcon exclusive star is born! (Jocks)

Movie Review: A Night at Bruno’s

BY VINCENT LAMBERT

Director: Chi Chi LaRue.
Cast: Jan Fischer, Tristan Bennet, Denny Martini, Lee Roy, Max Schneider, Taurus, Tony Rengel, David Low, Marlon Abdalla, Johnny Hazzard.

Director Chi Chi LaRue and crew take their show on the road for A Night at Bruno’s. Set in the Berlin bookstore, the film features a group of horny guys who gather to browse some porn and wind up making some of their own. Taurus and Max Schneider get the action going as the other patrons look on with interest. Before you know it, the whole damn place is filled with cocksucking, buttfucking, ass-eating porn fans. (It’s interesting to note the many Channel 1 Releasing/Rascal Video DVDs on display in the background. Product placement has never looked so good—or been so blatant!) Some highlights include: Rascal exclusives Tristan Bennet and cover model Jan Fischer making the most of their time together, with Bennett taking top honors on Fischer’s tasty tush; manly Lee Roy exhibiting some expert deep-throating skills; and buff Denny Martini brooding his way through his intense sexual encounter. Special guest Johnny Hazzard (another Rascal exclusive) even pops in for a cameo, where he is blown and banged to great effect. The whole movie is basically one long scene broken into shorter sequences. Your interest might vary with the particular models on-screen, but it will never falter completely as LaRue keeps things lively with brisk pacing and tight editing. Picture quality is good. Extras include a flashy public-service announcement from the directing diva herself. Looking glamorous, LaRue delivers a safer-sex message that advises viewers to “‘wrap it up!”, meaning their willies. Well said, Cheesh! (Channel 1 Releasing/Rascal Video)

Movie Review: A Stiff Dick Has No Conscience 3

BY VINCENT LAMBERT

Director: Uncredited.
Cast: Wyatt, Pee Wee, Lucky, Jinx, Nicholas, Angel, Lewis.

It seems “Uncle Don” has no conscience either. That’s the name of the faceless cameraman who eggs on a group of listless twinks in five amateur jack-off scenes. The movie opens on a beach in Oceanside, California, where retired Marine Wyatt (bidding farewell to porn now that he has a new wife and baby on the way) and surfer/stoner Pee Wee make small talk and act bored. When they move indoors to a tacky couch, things don’t improve. They strip, watch some straight porn and avoid making eye contact with each other. That’s what you get when straight models are forced to jerk off together! Despite the lack of chemistry, they eventually cum on a mirror, which becomes a theme here. In the next scene, college student Lucky poses and talks about pussy. He looks less than thrilled when an overweight masked man steps in to suck him off. Next, Jinx does an awkward striptease before showing off his baby fat on a mattress and in the shower. Uncut Nicholas from Chile speaks no English and is also accosted by the ski-mask sucker. In the final scene, Angel lifts weights and shows off his perfect pecs. He has the best body of the group but is charmless and obnoxious. He does know how to work his ample foreskin though. Latecomer Lewis literally knocks on the door, enters and goes right to work. He doesn’t even have time to throw out the gum he chomps while ’bating. Besides the unwilling cast, the camera work and sound are truly amateur. Picture quality is fine. Fans of reality porn might enjoy the natural bodies and self-conscious stares, but they’ll have to bring their own heat. (The Body Shoppe)

Movie Review: Somebody Is Looking

BY VINCENT LAMBERT

Director: Roman Senko.
Cast: Lukas, Zbynek, Daniel, Radek, Jaroslav, Denis, Roman, Jan, Petr, Jindra.

Sex with farm animals? Not quite, but the “somebody” in the title Somebody Is Looking turns out to be a bevy of ponies, zebras, camels, tigers, llamas, you name it. Set in a zoo in the Czech Republic, Looking at least has a unique location going for it. However, involving animals in graphic gay-sex scenes turns out to be more disconcerting than anything. For example, in the first of four scenes, two workers put aside their brooms to have some fun. No sooner do they start sucking than two voyeuristic ostriches take ringside seats. As the fucking begins, one ornery ostrich gets right in their faces. If it weren’t so weird, it might be funny. Two other dudes bail some hay then get it on for the horses in the stable. A tour guide leads a group of guys through the zoo, introducing each animal species in badly translated subtitles. The men soon pair up and practically have sex in the cages. Sounds hot, but it’s not! A couple of adorable lion cubs lead to the final threeway. This is the best scene in the film, perhaps because the models are attractive and the animals are put off to the side at the start. Fuzzy picture quality and blah colors don’t help. Nor does the annoying musical accompaniment and irritating sound of dogs barking and roosters crowing. These animals clearly brought out the beast in someone—the foreign cast tries its best—but most viewers probably won’t want to heed this call of the wild. (Galaxia)
