Movie Review: Joyride

BY VINCENT LAMBERT

Director: Richie Oldmann.
Cast: Carlos, Enriko Max, George Bellagio, Jay Roberts, Johny Lee, Karlos Armandes, Martin Neumet, Miguel Sanchez, Petr Majer, Robert Wild, Sebastian Grant.

Titan Media’s Fresh line takes a bunch of international twinks for a spin with Joyride. The setup is fairly simple (and gets downright redundant) as one hitchhiking cutie after another gets picked up by a couple of guys who then proceed to engage him in a hot threeway. First, Karlos Armandes gets picked up by beefy Carlos and adorable Sebastian Grant, and they all enjoy some oral action on a porch. Once they have jacked and sucked outdoors, they move inside for some fucking. Next, they proceed to the kitchen for some ass-eating. By the time the house tour is finally done, these studs deliver all over Carlos’s smooth chest (but his own pop shot is the best of the bunch). Redhead George Bellagio repeats the same scenario (without the impressive jizz) in the second scene. A red convertible and a built-in pool are the hottest parts of the third scene, in which Petr Majer and Robert Wild seem to be going through the motions with Jay Roberts. But in the final scene, hotties Johny Lee and Miguel Sanchez save the day with the film’s only duo. These babes offer a sexy roadside flip-flop that would stop traffic, if there were any (although one cum shot looks suspiciously fake). There is some hot lighting and washed-out, drab colors here and there, but fans of uncut meat (yes, the entire 11-man cast is uncircumcised) won’t mind going along for this ride. (Titan Media)

News: Chi Chi LaRue Makes Anti-Bareback PSA

In answer to the continuing controversy surrounding barebacking within the porn industry, director Chi Chi LaRue has filmed a public-service announcement that clearly states her views on the topic. In the four-minute video, which was featured last night on the BBC’s popular Newsnight program in the United Kingdom, the large-and-in-charge Channel 1 Releasing co-owner addresses the difference between creating a fantasy world for consumers to enjoy and the reality of creating a safe environment for models to perform in. She also points out that the rate of HIV/AIDS infection among young men (ages 15-24) in this country is currently growing at an alarming pace. LaRue declares that she will “never, never, never make barebacking movies that put the models and the gay community at risk.”

The video, which can be seen at www.SafeSexIsHotSex.com, is featured on a new Web site that also includes links containing important statistical information from the Centers for Disease Control, APLA, AMFAR, AIDS Healthcare Foundation, AIDS Map News, LAMA and The New York Times. Visitors to the site are encouraged to get more information on HIV/AIDS and the importance of practicing safer sex from these particular Web sites.

“I am certainly not saying that barebacking movies are solely responsible for the huge increase in HIV infections,” LaRue says. “I think a lot of factors are at play. I think drug companies want us to think that HIV is just a simple and manageable condition. They never mention that a one-year supply of medication starts at $25,000! I think the lack of real sex education, thanks to our current conservative regime, is a factor. Let’s not forget the rampant drug abuse in the gay community, which is definitely a factor. I also think gay men are really just tired of talking and hearing about it! But we can’t stop talking about it… I think what we are seeing is a result of too many people being way too silent!”

Amen, sister! Now if only more members of the industry would speak out and make this message heard. As faithful readers know, VincentLambert.com does not condone, endorse, promote or write about bareback product. In our view, to do so would only encourage its sales and popularity, which would mean that companies only selfishly interested in their bottom line would produce more of it. But we have watched as these movies have soared to the top of the sales chart. Money talks, guys, so the next time you put down your hard-earned cash to buy, rent or download a bareback movie or scene, take a moment to think about exactly what you’re supporting. Are the health, safety and life of the models you’re watching really worth the price of you being entertained? You decide.
