Exhibition (Titan Media) - Director's Expanded Edit Review

Reviewed by Joe Shaver  on  7/26/2003

Considering the high caliber product of which Titan is capable, this latest effort is something of a disappointment. It is reminiscent of an earlier pre-condom film WINNERS in which paintings in a gallery come to life. The Director’s Expanded Edition consists of the regular film and a bonus disc. Disc one, therefore, is the same in both sets.

DISC ONE

The film opens with “The Artist in His Studio”. The artist Gil Cortez and his model Trent Cougar are locked in a kiss. The blondish Trent and the lovely Latinate Gil are a perfect pairing. Gil is the first to go down, swallowing Trent’s dick to the root and sucking his balls. Eventually it is Trent’s turn. I’ve not seen Gil in anything before (he might have appeared in one the ManPlay films) and he’s one hell of a dude. He kneels on a chair for Trent to eat out his ass. After five or more minutes of this he moves as though to substitute his penis for his tongue, but they only change positions for Gil to sit on his face so he can continue the rim job. In this position, both beat off. It then becomes Trent's turn to kneel on the chair and get his ass eaten. This lasts only briefly and then Trent is back to sucking Gil’s cock. Both cum again, with Gil cumming on Trent’s face. Then it’s off to the kitchen (the kitchen?) for Trent to slurp some more on Gil’s dick. Gil covers his cock with the condom he has been holding in his hand, turns Trent around, and slips it to him. Trent then lies back on the counter for a further fucking. I wish Trent had been barefoot and not have those smelly brown socks sticking in Gil’s face. Trent then sits on Gil’s dick and flails out another load as he rides. Next he bends over for Gil to continue the fuck. Gil cums on Trent’s back. With the proceedure being first one does it and then the other does it, the direction here is uninspired. The actors too are oddly passionless.

In “At the Gallery” we see Dred Scott and Ray Stone walking through the gallery. As they pause to kiss and then pass on, the paintings come to life.

The first painting features Chris Brady, a beautiful blond lad with a great build, standing on a dais with his hands behind his back, He is blindfolded, and is wearing only a jockstrap, kneepads, shoes and socks. He is being fondled by some strange black plastic thing that Alex Leon is wielding. Chris’ boner pops free of the jock. Alex can’t resist going down on it. The blindfold is removed, Chris is led down form the dais, and his kneepads come into good use as he kneels to fellate Alex. Leon spits on him as he sucks. Occasional licks from Chris’ pierced tongue keep Alex rock hard. The tongue is also used in Alex’s ass. He does a super job. It is now Alex’ turn to lick Chris’ shaved sphincter. Chris sits in a metal chair and sucks Alex to climax. Cum spatters Chris’ chest. Alex goes back to eating Chris’ ass and proceeds to finger-fuck him. The fingers are followed by Alex’ stiff dick which Chris sits on. They conclude with a standing fuck. Chris’ cock is quite hard. Mine is, too. I am waiting for Chris to cum. He doesn’t. Alex cums on Chris’ butt. We then get an apparent cum shot from Chris, but it seems faked. I’ve seen this beauty in two films now and I’ve yet to see him really cum. What does it take to make this boy shoot a load? I’d like to find out.

Patrick Knight and Josh O’Hara are the subjects in the next painting. Josh is washing a dog. Some horseplay between the guys ends up in the kitchen (The kitchen again. Doesn’t anyone have a bedroom?) Josh deep-throats Patrick’s dick. Josh is a cute blond sexpig. Patrick has a pretty good build and boner but his mouth is as unappealing as Michael Keaton’s. Josh rims him. Patrick picks Josh up and carries him over to the breakfast table where he strips off the youth’s orange shorts and goes down on his banana. He gives Josh the finger and jacks off onto him. Josh follows. Getting a glass of ice water, Patrick gives Josh a sip and then takes an ice cube which he runs teasingly over the boy’s nipples, balls, and into his ass. Now this is fun! Patrick’s dick soon follows the ice cube. My, but that Josh loves getting fucked! Patrick cums on Josh. Josh cums on the camera lens.

All this art has tuned on the gallery visitors Dred Scott and Ray Stone so they begin to make out right there. Oddly enough, these two are given a Romantic scene. I mean both of these guys could scare small children. Hell, they both scare me. I love Dred in threatening roles, but a romantic lover. Not! Ray is just much too old. It’s like watching crocodiles fuck. Not a pretty sight. Dred tops Ray. Unlike in the earlier scenes they cum just once. It was an odd scene to finish with, causing the film to end—not with a bang, but a whimper.

Disc One also includes a Cum Shot Review, a Music Image Gallery, and previews for three other Titan films.

The paintings in this gallery may not be of the paint by numbers variety, but the sex sure as hell is. Only the Knight-O’Hara scene shows any real life.

DISC TWO

This disc is only included in the Director’s Expanded Edition. These bonus materials include:
PHOTO SHOOTS: All the models are represented in hot sessions with master photographer Brian Mills. Josh O’Hara proves once again what a sexy dude he is, Gil Cortez demonstrates that he is both gorgeous and sexy, and Chris Brady confirms he is fabulous piece of flesh even if he can’t cum.

INTERVIEWS:
Trent Cougar & Gil Cortez – Gil wants to see the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz.
Chris Brady & Alex Leon – We hear Chris speak for the first time. He’s a Brit, and claims to have done two films there. Need to check these out. Maybe he cums there. If not, he’s still great eye candy.
Patrick Knight gets a star treatment solo interview.

BONUS FOOTAGE: Additional footage from the Trent-Cortez scene. Trent sucking on Gil’s cock and balls. Gil sucking on Trent’s tool. Trent sucking on Gil again. Gil cumming on Trent.

MUSIC IMAGE GALLERY: A repeat of that found on Disc One.

WATERSPORTS: (Now here is the one reason you might want to go for this expanded edit.) Chris Brady sits in a metal trough. Alex, standing up on the dais, pisses down on him as Chris pisses on himself. Both are incredibly full of piss. Chris manages to hit his mouth once. Chris cleans off Alex’ cock and sucks away, stopping only for Alex to spit in his mouth. Chris can really suck cock! Surprisingly they start to piss some more with Alex dousing Chris’ blond locks. Chris goes back to sucking Alex’s cock and continues pissing.

If the above makes you want to spring for those extra bucks. Go for it. Along with the Knight-O’Hara scene it’s the best thing on the DVDs. On the whole though, EXHIBITION is a disappointing offering from Titan. It’s too highly choreographed and lacking in any spontaneity. Perhaps the directors should loosen up a bit and give the actors a less restricted rein. After all, a film is not a still life—or just a photo shoot.
