CLOSE-UPS Read astroknight's review first for the details Andrew Blake's "Close-ups" is by far my favorite adult movie I've watched all year In recent months I've been finding gonzo porn boring to the point of tears. There's just nothing new under the sky, no ounce of originality. When I do watch gonzo I often find myself fast-forwarding through most of it- skipping to the anal, skipping to the anal doggy, the anal reverse cowgirl... to the pop-shot.... I'm constantly searching for anything even remotely different, to no avail. It's counter-intuitive that I would find respite from this jaded existence of loophole porn and masturbation in something so softcore. For someone who's always skipping to the anal parts of a movie, I was surprised I could like something that's almost entirely devoid of anal action.

The Little Details Running Time: 118 min. Production Date: 7 / 21 / 2004 Director: Andrew Blake Cast: Lorraine (aka Tall Goddess), Ginger Jolie, Charlie Laine, Jacqueline, Nicole Loren, Paola Rey, Jean Val Jean, The Short Story Initial Expectations: Blake can do some very hot stuff, but theres times he just gets a little too artistic or soft for me. Having Lorraine in this one tips me over to the more hopeful side for this one. Initial Reaction: Its pretty hot and has all the style one would expect from Andrew Blake. Who Should Watch It : Anybody wanting style over substance Who Should Avoid It: Anybody whos more interested in how dirty sex can be than how beautiful women can be or who wants plenty of boy - girl sex The Technical Stuff Audio /Video Quality: As usual with Andrew Blake, the technical aspects are fantastic. Theres no audio other than the music, which normally annoys me, but with Blakes style it doesnt work too bad for me. The video is near flawless.
