Boys in the Sand 2 / One, Two, Three... review summaries:
Flash's
Boys in the Sand 2 and One, Two, Three... collects two of Wakefield Poole's four shot on video gay adult movies. Both movies have been previously released on DVD, Boys in the Sand 2 from the now-defunct Mercury Releasing and One, Two, Three... from Gorilla Factory Productions, and the transfers present here look similar to the previous releases. Owners of the previous releases may not want to upgrade, the Easter egg on this release is good and will please fans of Wakefield Poole, however, the extras from the previous releases were not ported over to this release. This reviewer doesn't think that the two movies on this release are as strong as Wakefield Poole's shot on film movies but fans of Wakefield Poole's work will want to add this release, along with its companion release The Hustlers and Split/Image, which together encompass all of Wakefield Poole's shot on video work. Gorilla Factory Productions has done a nice job with this release. The two movies look as good as they can. [read the full review]

Wakefield Poole: Three Films (Blu-ray) review summaries:
Flash's
Any fan of Wakefield Poole is going to want to pick up this limited edition Blu-ray set before it is gone.

Take One / Moving! review summaries:
Flash's
Vinegar Syndrome's double feature of Wakefield Poole's gay hardcore films Take One and Moving! is well worth picking up for fans of the genre. The two films are very different, Take One is a genre-defying adult film and Moving! is a loop carrier. Vinegar Syndrome has done an excellent job with their DVD release with excellent audio and video quality. [read the full review]

Boys in the Sand (Vinegar Syndrome) review summaries:
Flash's
Boys in the Sand is a visual experience from Wakefield Poole that shows that for him, adult film making was more than just sex, he was trying to create a beautiful cinematic experience. And he succeeds. There are some slow spots in the film, but overall Poole has created a very good film that has become the landmark film in gay adult cinema. Vinegar Syndrome has done a very good job with this release with a decent transfer of the film and a wealth of extras. [read the full review]

Score (Cult Epics) (Blu-ray) review summaries:
Flash's
Score is a beautiful and lavish adult film but it will not be to the liking of some viewers. Most of the sex scenes within the film are softcore and the only hardcore sequences feature gay sex. However, the film has a good story that entertains the viewer, the cast does a good job, and the film looks better than most adult films do. Cult Epics has done a good job with this release with some excellent special features and a beautiful image. The audio isn't up to the par of the rest of the disc though. [read the full review]

Moving! / One, Two, Three... review summaries:
Flash's
This collection of Wakefield Poole movies from Gorilla Factory Productions presents two movies from two very different periods of Poole's career. Moving! is a shot on film loop carrier made in the mid-1970s and displays Poole's silent storytelling techniques whereas One, Two, Three... is shot on video from roughly a decade later and is an avant-garde performance piece. Both movies are worth watching and Gorilla Factory Productions has done a nice job with this release. [read the full review]

Sleaze (HIS) review summaries:
Joe Shaver's
If you are looking for something such as the title suggests, you will be very disappointed. With no gangbang, no bondage, no S & M, no watersports, and no fisting, things just aint very sleazy. The setting is a New York sex club circa 1982 where if you have sex with a member he marks your ass with red paint (a Z like Zorro) and you become a member too. The sex is all very vanilla. There is cocksucking and fucking and some rimming and at one point a lonely guy shoves a dildo up his ass but thats it. Its also impossible to get off because we keep being jerked back and forth between the various scenes of action so that we are never able to get involved with any. It begins with Scorpio (the real star of the film as he is in the most scene). Scorpio had long blondish hair, a droopy handlebar mustache, and a smooth chest. When we first see him he is wearing an open leather vest and leather chaps with no seat. He is getting his cock sucked by a scruffy guy in cowboy gear. Elsewhere others are playing solo. The sucker lies on the floor and gets naked. [read the full review]

Description This is a two-disc release of three of Wakefield Poole's pioneering feature films from 1971 to 1986, plus several of his short films of the era, a long interview, and other extras. General Impression For me, this had great value as an historical artifact, partly because I can remember this time period. I was 12 in 1969, when Poole began filming. I lived an hour from San Francisco, and went there regularly, picking up copies of the Berkeley Barb and soaking up the ambience. Our junior high buried a time capsule in 1970, to be opened in the year 2000. We dropped into the capsule a pair of bellbottoms and a Jacksons album, among other things. I was born a moment too late to be on the cusp of many of the changes that took place, but I observed them anyway. I had always heard that Deep Throat was the first feature length hard-core movie.

Inevitable Love review summaries:
Joe Shaver's
This film is a historical curiosity in that it is one of the first (if not THE first) gay porn films to stress safe sex. The A.I.D.S. epidemic was at its most terrifying, and the producers of this film wanted to show its audience that sex could be fun while safe. Well, its certainly safe, these guys wont even suck a cock unless its sealed up tight in an opaque condom. But its not much fun. The plot concerns two wrestling buddies who do an awful lot of crotch grabbing in their matches, and they sleep in the same bed but have never recognized the sexual nature of their relationship. High school is over and Gary (Pat Allen) is going into the army while Hal (William L. Kane) is going to grad school. They keep in touch through letters. One day in the gym, Hal gets Jon King to spot him. Jon shows Hal his cock and proceeds to kiss him while fucking him between the legs (frigging, I think English public schoolboys call it.). Jon comes on Hals leg. Its a case of cum on my leg and Ill follow you anywhere but Jon tells the awakened Hal, I have a boyfriend. [read the full review]
