Movie Review: Bad Boys Club

BY VINCENT LAMBERT

Directors: Doug Jeffries, Derek Kent, John Travis.
Cast: Trevor Knight, Ryan Alexander, Rafael Alencar, Matt Van Dorn, Tommy Brant, Cody Cash, Luciano Haas, Chip Knoll.

Three of Studio 2000’s top directors (Doug Jeffries, Derek Kent and John Travis) contribute four scenes with the inexplicable title Bad Boys Club. Sure, the cast sucks and fucks, but does that make them bad boys? And what constitutes a club? Who knows? All that viewers will care about is that five hot Studio 2000 exclusives (Trevor Knight, Ryan Alexander, Rafael Alencar, Matt Van Dorn and Tommy Brant) showed up to join this engaging gang. First, beautiful Brazilian Rafael Alencar seduces supposedly straight Chip Knoll (back in the jizz biz after a layoff) in a locker room. This coupling is a study in contrasts, as Alencar’s dark good looks and manly physique are nicely juxtaposed with Knoll’s pale, still boyish frame and cock. Together, they get wet in the shower, with Knoll swallowing Alencar’s many uncut inches. Rafael reciprocates by initiating Knoll into the joys of butt fucking, pounding a nice load out of him before delivering a juicy one of his own. Next, Luciano Haas takes a piss in an alley, where he is accosted by unruly Trevor Knight. This is another mismatched couple, as the gangly Hass towers over the diminutive Knight, who ends up as an unlikely top. He tries his best, but this scene is instantly forgettable. Inconsistent lighting also mars the action. The next scene is a highlight, as perfectly paired cuties Ryan Alexander and Tommy Brant go at each other in their dorm room. Alexander claims to be straight, but in a fit of horniness agrees to blow Brant. And for a supposed hetero, Ryan sure sucks cock like a pro! This kid knows how to use his tongue with expert effect. Fucking soon follows, and Alexander and Brant show how they earned their exclusive contracts. Finally, Matt Van Dorn jacks off at his window for an appreciative audience, including a cop (Cody Cash) who decides to take matters in his own hands. This sequence is like a battle of bad accents as Van Dorn’s prissy South African inflection clashes with Cash’s self-conscious Bawstin tawk. Things improve a bit when they get to the sex. Van Dorn is as smooth and nubile as ever, but newcomer Cash is average at best (face, body, dick—and, no, he is not an exclusive). He does flip-flop nicely though and displays a good sense of humor on the extra bloopers reel. On the whole, Bad Boys Club is serviceable porn but doesn’t quite meet the usual high standards of Studio 2000—even with all these directors and exclusive talents. Picture quality is great for the most part, and every vein on Alencar’s luscious cock is clearly visible to prove it. Now that’s something most real-life bad boys will appreciate. (Studio 2000)

Movie Review: The Fuk Club

BY VINCENT LAMBERT

Director: Dylan Ryan.
Cast: Buck McCall, Cutter Weston, Sean West, Brett Larson, Connor Banks, Lorenzo Vargas, Alan Gregory, Seth Hollister.

Jet Set Sport weighs in with an obvious bid to cash in on Brad Pitt’s Fight Club. Hey, guys, what took you so long? No matter, there are five solid scenes here, including a nice sweaty solo. A narrator introduces each scene, starting with a hot fuck from Brett Larson, who gives his scene partner a good pounding before delivering an amazing cum shot. Pierced Latin stud Lorenzo Vargas get his beautifully veined cock worked in the next scene. The oral is the highlight of this sequence, which culminates with Vargas’s partner taking his copious load in the mouth. (Jet Set may be breaking some ground with this scene, but it will surely appeal to a certain segment of the audience.) The final two scenes include a run-of-the-mill duo and a steamy threeway in which our narrator gets to work his magic in the ring and show off his amazing ass. This scene, like the others, is well photographed and nicely lit. The models are all up to Jet Set’s usual standards and bring lots of good energy and eroticism. The Fuk Club packs a punch.

Movie Review: Signature Series: Zeb Atlas

BY VINCENT LAMBERT

Director: Ron Lloyd.
Cast: Zeb Atlas.

Massive muscle hunk Zeb Atlas steps into the spotlight with a new solo feature from Body Image Productions. Divided into three segments (plus a slide show), the short (42 minutes) DVD showcases the stunning bodybuilder in all his glory. In “Take One,” he flexes, strikes poses and teases the viewer with his amazing physique. The lighting in this scene makes his eight-pack look even more pronounced and downright lickable. Next, while digging in the garden, Atlas doffs his shirt and takes a moment to cool down. What a lovely sight, watching this gorgeous stud touch himself in the sun. He jacks for a while on a bench, exposing his sizable (considering the rest of his measurements!) cock before moving inside. By the fire, again with great lighting, he plays with himself and wanks to a creamy climax. The picture clarity here is impressive as the goo gushes in sensual slow-motion. These two scenes make up the bulk of the DVD (about 30 minutes), but there is also a third segment, an interview with Atlas, who turns out to be a seemingly soft-spoken, down-to-earth kinda guy. He good-naturedly talks about being a skinny kid who played golf and started lifting weights at a young age. The discipline of bodybuilding made a difference in his life, he says. And we get to enjoy the results. Atlas also divulges that he recently let his body hair grow in for the first time in a long time. And for that, we are grateful! This episode in the Signature Series is a strong effort from both Atlas and director Ron Lloyd, but it only whets the appetite and serves as a first course for what we’d like to see this manly man eventually do.

Movie Review: Construction Island

BY VINCENT LAMBERT

Director: Csaba Borbély.
Cast: Lucio Maverick, Kevin Cage, Adriano Lazzari, Fredy Costa, Philippe Collier, Rod Stevens, Sylvio Panthera, Gerardo Cortez, Julien Salieri, Julian Vincenzo, Hans Brooks.

Talk about a fantasy island! The men of Construction Island are each more gorgeous than the next. Director Csaba Borbély has assembled an amazing cast for this long video set in a wonderfully scenic locale. Studly Lucio Maverick and sidekick Kevin Cage ride up in a boat wearing supergay color-coordinated hard hats and jumpsuits. Soon, they are walking around inspecting a waterside construction site inhabited by some near perfect specimens of masculinity. Hairy Rod Stevens gets his furry butt plowed while other workers pass by. Handsome Gerardo Cortez and sexy Fredy Costa jack off with another laborer. Tattooed Julian Vincenzo takes part in some hardcore fucking. Two other hunks get together for a rooftop sequence with some ambitious aerial photography. In the fifth and final scene, Maverick and Cage finally doff their silly outfits and partake of the island’s pleasures with a steamy threeway. This scene sizzles, and Maverick gets to display his big cock, so all’s well that ends well. Lovely lighting and tight editing showcase this winning cast. Though at times the sex tends toward the generic, our major complaint is that too much time is spent showing the guys endlessly walking around! True, the scenery is stunning but viewers will find themselves leaning heavily on the fast-forward button to get to the stunning bodies. Sometimes length matters. (All Worlds Video)

Movie Review: Joe Gage Sex Files, Vol. 3: Kegger

BY VINCENT LAMBERT

Director: Joe Gage.
Cast: Danny Hunter, David, Luke, Joe Sarge, Aaron Heights, Dave Young, Josh Kole, Pavel, Alex Berlin, Damian, Tag Adams.

Director Joe Gage brings his trademark style to another in the popular Sex Files series. This time, a group of horny frat boys prepares for a party in a bizarrely frilly frat house. But viewers won’t be looking at the unlikely set when they get a gander at this cast. Hung Danny Hunter and hairy David open the video with a standard “lemme see how big your cock is” scenario, but this scene is anything but standard. Danny and David are both mesmerized by Hunter’s gorgeous piece, and we watch with anticipation as it grows to supersize. No one builds sexual tension like Gage, and he draws out this scene beautifully, as Hunter proceeds to take David to his pubes and then self-sucks. Together, they worship his worthy endowment. Hunter also delivers a juicy, slow-motion cum shot that boasts both distance and volume. Gage makes it last with his classic editing technique of showing the orgasm from multiple angles. All are good! The rest of the movie is basically one long scene with a few different setups. In one, Professor Josman (Joe Sarge, whose ridiculous haircut makes him look like an old-school rap reject) visits the frat house and molests several of the students, including a sleeping Luke, who awakens with hilarious effect only when he is cumming! Lithe Aaron Heights and twink Dave Young enjoy the show and start stroking too. Next, Coach Lockwood (Josh Kole) shows up and joins the fun. Heights sucks him and—good news travels fast—soon all the students gather around to watch and jerk. Though there is some murky lighting and questionable camera work throughout, this sequence remains vibrant and exciting. Things only get better when the Keg Man (ripped box-cover model Tag Adams) delivers the beer for the bash and gets drawn in. Adams gets pounded by three of the youngsters and good-naturedly takes an eyeful of cum. Let’s hear it for the boy! The coach orders the rest of the frats to shoot, and they gladly obey his command. So many young cuties, so much hot sex…and the party hasn’t even started yet! Gage and MSR score again. This is one Kegger worth attending. Drink up! (MSR Video)

Movie Review: Frat Boys...on the Loose, Vol. 9

BY VINCENT LAMBERT

Director: Paul Barresi.
Cast: Scott Bradley, Kyle Roberts, Cameron Sage, Andy Hunter, Eric Evans, Rick Leon, Scott Curry, Romeo James.

The young frat boys in this long-running series from director Paul Barresi get a much needed boost from some hot tutors. In the first scene, newcomer Rick Leon chows down on Eric Evans’ yummy chest like there is no tomorrow. And who wouldn’t? Bear daddy Evans doesn’t give much educational assistance, but he sure bangs the hell out of Leon. And these two manage a perfectly timed dual cum shot. Good work! Also working nicely together are Scott Bradley and Cameron Sage, who never get around to their math lesson. They do get to some sucking and fucking, with Sage showing off his great body, oversized cock and impressive topping skills. But the hottest scene belongs to Kyle Roberts and Andy Hunter, who seem to be having a grand old time. Big-dicked Hunter fucks like a wild man and delivers an amazing cum shot, as usual. He and the other experienced pros here make the latest Frat Boys...on the Loose worth a look. Barresi keeps the action moving, and the picture looks crisp and clear. Keep the tutors coming!

Movie Review: The Innkeeper: Hotel Italia 2

BY VINCENT LAMBERT

Director: Lucas Kazan.
Cast: Matthias Vannelli, Sasha Byazrov, Vilem Cage, Max Veneziano, Giorgio Salieri, Eric Flower, Mamo Vallicelli, Paolo Tarantino, Michele Luppo, Matt Van Dorn.

Director Lucas Kazan returns to Italy for a stunning sequel to Hotel Italia. This time around, gorgeous hotel owner Sasha Byazrov has his pick of some equally pretty guests. Filmed entirely on location at a beautiful Italian location, The Innkeeper offers five excellent scenes with an impressive cast. Supercute Matt Van Dorn (on loan from Studio 2000) bottoms nicely for hunky Matthias Vannelli. Beefy Vilem Cage and Max Veneziano get busy on a stairway—sucking, fucking and delivering juicy cum shots (though we could do without the gum-chewing!). Byazrov witnesses some sexy doings at his place, but the one man he desires (Michele Luppo) is oblivious to his charms. (In one hysterical sequence, Byazrov attempts to woo Luppo by doing suggestive things with a log. No wonder he fails to win him with these ridiculous moves!) However, Byazrov eventually entices the man of his dreams, but lucky for us he soon dumps him for Vannelli, which makes for the video’s hottest scene. Vannelli has an amazing physique, and he fucks like a dream. The lovely lighting and expert videography only enhance this dynamic duo. The great picture quality makes Kazan’s already attractive men look even more delectable. We can only hope a third visit to Hotel Italia is in the works. (Lucas Kazan Productions)
