review from 4/29/2006:
Ive never really cared for Doug Jeffries as a performer, but after seeing LIGHTS & DARK Ive concluded I like him much better as a performer than as a director. Its unbelievable that anyone could take such a hot cast and make such a lukewarm film. Yet hes done just that. The idea is pretty good. Centering the action around a coin laundry where one normally separates the lights from the darks but having white boys and black boys come (or cum) together. The problem was in the execution. The direction lacks imagination and hes badly serviced by his cameraman. Either the cameraman has one leg considerably shorter than the other or else he has an absolute fetish for oblique angles. Such shots only disorient the viewer. A swirling pattern reminiscent of a similar device in Hitchcocks Vertigo changed the setups between and within the scenes themselves. I know this was to simulate the washing cycle and would have been OK to have separated the scenes but it occurs within the scenes whenever the blocking changes. The result is a series of static tableaux. [read the full review]

review from 3/15/2005:
I really wanted to see Johnny Hazzard in a scene, and I found this one for under $40, so I thought, why not. The cast looked hot enough. Was I happy with the outcome? The Movie: This is basically an all sex movie. There is no dialogue, and the only thing attaching the scenes together is shots of Eddie Stone (the cover model) turning to a new add in a magazine. Still, the movie is very well shot, and turned out looking far from sleazy. The first scene is the Eddie Stone and Johnny Hazzard scene. This scene could have been really hot! It COULD have been. The problem is that the set that the scene is filmed causes the action to be kind of silly. Things start out with Johnny and Eddie in this half globe, glass thing that is suspended from the ceiling. As attractive as both guys are, I have to say, their asses don't look to good pressed up against glass. Still, once the action starts, things get pretty good. Both guys go down on each other, and rim each other. Actually, when Eddie rims Johnny, the scene starts to show its first signs of sillyness. [read the full review]

review from 5/30/2004:
Rome is one of my favorite cities and I have been there many times, but nothing as exciting happened to me as happens to tourist Eddie Stone in Chi Chi LaRues WHEN IN ROME. The plot is credited to Chris Steel, but he has lifted the idea from an earlier film that Ive seen. So the plot held no surprises. But the sex is something else, and Chi Chi is at her best in this one. The film stars the incomparable Eddie Stone. Absolute perfection from the top of his raven hair to the tips of his suckable toes, Eddie Stone is a walking wet dream. My god, but he is gorgeous! One of the handsomest men in porn, he is a consummate cocksuckerdeep-throating some big ones, a voracious rimmer, andalthough he is a versatile sexualistis the most beautiful bottom ever to appear on film. If this were ancient Rome, Eddie would be the second most powerful man in the empirethe emperors favorite. On his first day in this city of seven hills, Eddie is mugged. His money, passport, everything is all gone. [read the full review]

review from 11/29/2003:
No, its not supposed to be A MANS TALE. And its not supposed to refer to getting a piece of mans tailwell, not entirely. In this charming fantasy from Chi Chi LaRue, Anthony Shawthat handsome, feral, longhaired, blond who is a voracious bottomis a merman. Not Ethel Merman, the kind of merman who has the torso of a man and the tail of a fish. Ah, yes, this fairy tale is indeed a fairy tale. In a prologuewhich in fact is really an epilogueAlex LeMonde that mouth-watering Canadien stares at the sea bemoaning his lost love whom he last saw disappearing into that vast expanse of water with a strange being. Alex speaks of his regrets at his shameful treatment of his lover Joe and his own infidelities. Now, in this cautionary tale, Alex warns us If you mistreat your boyfriend he [the merman] may show up and take him away from you.forever. We jump back to the time when Alex and Joe were together. The camera shows us a photo of the lovers on a bedside table and then pans over to show them together in bed. Joe is sleeping, but Alex is awake. He begins taking care of his morning stiffy.

review from 5/27/2004:
There are some incredibly gorgeous guys in Canada. What a pity they didnt use any of them for this film! True, the guy on the cover looks hotand it was he who induced me to buy the DVDand he is the best looking one in the film. But, alas, his still photos flatter him immensely. In the film he looks somewhat scruffy and has the beginning of a boil on his ass. The storyif one can call it thatis as follows: two guys in Vancouver on the west coast telephone a guy in Montreal on the east coast and tell stories. I suppose that is intended to cover all of Canada, which makes the lack of attractive flesh even more of an insult toward our neighbor of the north. I know they didnt support us in our latest military action, but this is inproportionate revenge. The action follows the same pattern throughout. We see the guys clothed and kissing as they grab dicks though the clothing. Then we see them in jockey shorts when they chew on the cocks through the material. Then they suck dick. Then they fuck. There is a bit kink in the first and last encounters. [read the full review]

review from 3/2/2003:
I am told that in the old days, writers would say to the studio heads, What do you want? A musical? Or something with a plot? I guess the same can be applied now to porn with a slight variation: What do you want hot sex, or something with a plot? Of course its always nice to have both, but give me a good tune, or some great sex. In STRICTLY YOUNG Chi Chi LaRue dispenses with plot, but gives us some truly great sex. A group of giggling twinks is sitting around to introduce the scenes with only one or two set-up lines. Its the most clichéd of all porn gimmicks, but you wont care. The first of these younguns to get it on are blond Trey Alimore and the present love-of-my-life Trent Austin (who also has performed using the name Diabut whats in a name?) This twink has an adorable smile and always seems so fucking happy. (That can also read so happy fucking.) They suck one another before Trey gets to eat and bang that cute butt. Trey then sits on Trents stiffy. These guys are just having so much fun that you will, too. Next up (literally) we have Jason Hawke and Fitch Abel. [read the full review]

review from 11/7/2002:
[ /image ] --> [ /image ] --> [ /image ] --> [ /image ] --> [ /image ] --> Director: Chi Chi LaRue Story: I wasn't really expecting a story to go along with this DVD, but the tale of Logan Reed and his lost ring is actually pretty cute. The acting is all top-rate as well. Scene One Starring: Blake Harper, Jackson Price It's nice to know there are some people in porn you can always count on. Blake not only looks fantastic, but turns in another stunning performance. Jackson looks cute as well, though I don't remember ever seeing that big birthmark on his chest before. Anyway, there's lots of yummy rimming and deep-throating before Blake plows his hard cock into Jackson's sweet ass. Definitely one of Blake's top 5 scenes, and easily the best scene on this DVD. Scene Two Starring: Victor Rios, Matt Summers Once everyone's on board the big ol' sex boat, the action heats up rather quickly in the laundry room. [read the full review]

Back Row, The review summaries:
Joe Shaver's
review from 11/30/2002:
If you want to see how gay porn has changed in the last 30 years pick up a copy of THE BACK ROW that contains Jerry Douglas original of 1972 and Chi Chi LaRues of 2002. Its not just that one is bareback the other uses condoms, the whole focus has changed. Douglas was making a story film with sex; LaRue was making a sex film with a story. The plot of both is as follows: A gay man wanders into one of the numerous porn theatres in NYC. Behind him a man and a sailor have sex. Afterward the civilian offers the gay man a popper; he refuses and leaves the theatre. Entering the Port Authority Bus Terminal, he spies a handsome young cowboy just in from Montana. They exchanged hot glances and the cowboy follows the man onto the subway to the Christopher Street/Sheridan Square stop. Our hero is stringing the cowboy along like an expert fisherman who has hooked a big one and is enjoying the contest. He goes into a porn emporium and examines some of the things on display. When he picks up a penis pump, the cowboy imagines him naked and using it. [read the full review]

review from 10/9/2002:
[ /image ] --> [ /image ] --> [ /image ] --> [ /image ] --> [ /image ] --> Director: Chi Chi LaRue Word of Warning This movie contains multiple instances of people licking fingers that had just been shoved up someone's ass. It didn't faze me in the least, but I've read this tends to freak some people out. Cast: Julian Pierce, Sebastian Cole, Andy Hunter, Evan Taylor, Peter Raeg, Lance Gear, Travis Reed, Matt Summers, Bailey Parks, Aaron Tanner, Jon Ashe Scene One Starring: Matt Summers, Julian Pierce I almost didn't recognize Julian in this scene. In the movie he has a goatee, but on the cover of the DVD, he doesn't. If it wasn't for that bellybutton tattoo, I'd probably still be wondering who the heck that stud in scene 1 was! The facial hair definitely suits him, though. He's got a great dick too, and Matt spends quite a bit of time gnawing on it. I actually really enjoyed the oral half of this scene. It's shot well, and both guys really seemed into it. The fucking is a little on the tame side, though. [read the full review]

Joe Shaver's
review from 11/12/2002:
Has it ever occurred to you when watching a porn flick that after watching the guys suck and fuck, just lying beside one another and jacking off was an anti-climax? To me it always seemed to imply Well you did your best to bring me off, but you failed and so its back to the old hand. It must have seemed that way to Chi Chi LaRue; too because in this film the prolific directrix extraordinaire has decided that in this film the guys would give one another a helping hand. Unfortunately Patrick Allen introduces the scenes in the guise of Dr. No-wank-alone. This adds nothing to the film, but does indeed detract considerably from it. The main problem is that there is no variation with Allens appearances. It is the same old, same old boring, badly written dialogue. If we saw him in various stages of undress or fondling some hunk or getting gradually higher, it might be more interesting. But I think it would be even better just to let the scenes follow without this irritating interruption. And pretty good scenes they are. First up (literally) are Julian Pierce and Travis Reed.

Steele Ranger review summaries:
Joe Shaver's
review from 10/12/2002:
Park Ranger Chris Steele not only has a big prickhe is one. We first see him bawling out two subordinates, Haus Weston and Sam Crockett for smoking in the woods. He then proceeds to harass three campers, Doug Jeffries, Jeremy Tucker, and Shane Bailey. He turns off their boom box; berates Jeremy for pissing in the open (Chris then goes and does the same thing himself); and finding the three jerking off to girlie magazines, calls them perverts and orders one of them to suck his cock. Shane rushes unhesitatingly to do so. Whether this is because Chi Chi told him to or because hes coming out of the closet is hard to tell. I think possibly the latter because the other two exchange something like a who-would-have-thunk-it glance. Shane is certainly not a novice. Chris then gets the others in on the action by going down on each in turn. Chris says it is getting dark (which is obviously news to the lighting man) so they move indoors to continue the action. Shane then sits on Chris face. Jeremy fucks Shane as Doug fucks Jeremy. Jeremy then sits on Chris cock. [read the full review]

[ /image ] --> [ /image ] --> [ /image ] --> [ /image ] --> [ /image ] --> Director: Chi Chi Larue Cast: Chris Steele, Sam Crockett, Haus Weston, Kyle Kennedy, Doug Jeffries, Shane Bailey, Eric Scott, Paul Carrigan, Jeremy Tucker, Patrick Allen, Shane Rockford Story: Chris Steele stars as the hard-as- nails Park Ranger who does his best to make the forest a better place for you and me. If that includes fucking the hell out of some poor lost little twinkie boy, well then so be it. Scene One Jeremy Tucker, Doug Jeffries and Shane Bailey are camping out in the wild when a three-man circle jerk breaks out. Ranger Chris doesnt take too kindly to guys jerkin off in public, and decides to punish the guys by giving them some real action. Chris looks great (as usual), but so do Jeremy and Doug. Im not so sold on Shane, though. He reminds me a lot of a less buff version of Lance Gear. After some decent cocksucking, they head back to the saloon where things get all hot and heavy.

NETGUY's
review from 5/29/2000:
Exhibition has to be one of my top ten dvds, besides the great sex, hot men, and overall high production values it also includes the most extras Ive seen on an adult film thus far.The extras include 4 previews, a model gallery; which consists of various slides of the actors, cast slide show, movie gallery-slides of various scenes in the film, and behind the scenes stills.The basic premise of the film is that it takes place during a photography gallery opening and as the guest mill about we are shown various photographs which "come to life". All of the guys are fairly exceptional and well endowed and the sex is extremely good. Whether its Blake Harper shooting his load all over Michael Crawfords balls or an awesome 3-way featuring Sandy Sloan, Tuck Johnson and Tony Serrano. This scene is especially hot when they make a daisy chain or Sandy is taking two cocks at once in his mouth. [read the full review]
