Review brief: The three scenes each contain three performers and each scene follows the same identical pattern. As a result, the film is like déjà vu only with different cocks. The guys though are great to look at.

Review brief: This is a terrible but what is worse a disappointing film! The young performers are cute as bugs ears, but the direction and photography is inept. At no time do we see cocks enter asses and when so there is no reason to be bareback. They might as well have used condoms!

Review brief: For their latest releasing of MSR films in a double Manplay offering Titan has wisely chosen to couple MSRs weakest film with their strongest. SHOOTERS is a mediocre film further hampered by an editor with Attention Deficit Disorder, but WHITE TRASH is a classic bone fide 5-star wonder.

Review brief: Clever and great fun STONEWALL & RIOT is better than Japanese anime. Joe Phillips is a talented artist who draws cute characters. He has not only drawn the film (no mean task considering how many gels are needed for a cartoon) but has written it, directed it, and voices the character of Stonewall. Although his earlier HOUSE OF MORECOCK was neat, STONEWALL & RIOT is an impressive leap forward. Witty and great fun, it is the ultimate party tape!

Review brief: Young is the operative word here as these young uncut teens are barely legal. They fuck like rabbits and have a considerable taste for their partners cum. YOUNG BAREBACK BUNNS is a good film. However it is definitely for Puppyphiles only.

Review brief: The link between the six sex scenes is that someone is designated as the sperm bank and others make deposits in him. The result is one of the best films from this studio yet. Treasure Islands SPERM BANK is a film guaranteed to make viewers add a few deposits of their own.

Review brief: The pre-condom classic ALL AMERICAN BOYS gets a lot of stars. None of the other three films (STUDENT FEVER, SPRING FEVER, BACK TO BASICS) are bareback and are only average, but each has a scene or performer that is worth seeing. Still four films at this price is a bargain.

Review brief: As is their wont Titan has created an impressive set, a boiler room that seems to pulsate with heat. But within minutes the illusion is shattered when one of the performers leans against the supposedly blistering boiler to receive a blowjob. I mention this because it seems indicative of the lack of care taken in the production. This is not to say that BOILER is a bad film, it is just not up to Titans typical standards.

Directed by: Chris Steele
Review brief: Falcon was the first studio to produce premium gay porn. It set the standard for all others. Todaya generation laterit is still one of the finest. That is awesome! DRIPPING WET is number 170 of the films on the Falcon label with around twice that number on their Jocks and Mustang labels. To have produced so many films and still maintain such high standards is unbelievable, yet they have done it. This film has all the Falcon trademarks: incredibly beautiful young guys, excellent photography, top-notch production values, and canny direction. It opens with the stunningly handsome Roman Heart swimming in a pool. His companion is newcomer Leo St. Phillip a nicely-built blond. Its not long before suits are off, Leo is seated on the edge of the pool, and Romanstill in the poolis going down on Leos dick. (This handsome young performer really knows how to suck a cock!) Soon both are out of the pool. Leo has a go at Romans delectable organ before Roman is right back on his. Roman next bends over to accept Leos cock in the other end.

Directed by: Brian Mills
Review brief: This is a follow-up to Brian Mills earlier FARM FRESH where the Titan director and photographer went to Eastern Europe and filmed those incomparable beauties that we have drooled over since the iron curtain fell. God, what a gene pool! The film opens with three hunky bare-chested young studs walking though a meadow. They are Vilem Cage, Pavek Neumann, and Tadeusz Tesar. Vilem is an experienced and extremely popular performer. Pavek is a sexy blond. Tadeusz is a mass of muscles. They pause near a wooden fence where Vilem becomes the center of attention. The boys lower his trousers. Pavek grabs the freed cock and Tadeusz goes down in it. Pavek takes a turn but Tadeusz takes over as sucker-in-chief giving head to both Vilem and Pavek until his massive chest is covered in their cock-cream. Vilem and Pavek remove Tadeusz jeans and Vilem sucks his cock until it dribble out a load. Moving over to an old abandoned farm cart Pavek bends over for Vilem to rim him and Tadeusz to finger-fuck him. Vilems cock follows. Vilem next goes to sit in a chair.

Directed by: Joe Gage
Review brief: When COP SHACK #1 ended Jason Ridge, the new cop in town, was about to be inducted into the backroom. But CROSSING THE LINE: COP SHACK 2 doesnt begin there. Instead we find Diesel Washington, accompanied by fellow officer Trey Casteel, entering a uniform shop to be fitted for a new uniform. The proprietor, a bespectacled Patrick OConnor, leads him into the dressing room. Trey, who says he has to be fitted next month, follows to observe. As Patrick kneels before Diesel (who incidentally is built like the proverbial brick shithouse) in order to take his inseam measurement he observes that the crotch is too tight and requests that Diesel drop trou so he can see the problem and make adjustments. As soon as the trousers hit the floor, the source of the problemDiesels huge black bonepoops out of the slit in his undies. I need to see how big it gets, says the conscientious tailor, who soon has it in his mouth to bring this about. An observant Trey now has his hard cock out and its not long before he joins them thus giving Patrick his choice of cop cock.

Starring: Christian Owen, Nick Capra, Brett Matthews, Zackary Pierce, Adam Faust, Jordan Vaughn, R.C. Ryan, Aaron Archer
Directed by: Jett Blakk
Review brief: Although hes been a busy little bee over the past months, its been awhile since Jett Blakk produced anything through his own studio Red Devil. HOW TO SEDUCE A STRAIGHT MAN remedies that neglect. Jetts strengths are in feature-length gay hardcore movies, but occasionally (as here) he opts for short vignettes the sort of filmic equivalent of short stories. There are four of these in this collection, providing tongue-in-cheek but not wholly implausible methods of gay guys luring straights to sex. In the first of these where it is suggested we get them hot by telling raunchy stories we find Nick Capra and his real-life boyfriend Aaron Archer are soaking in a hot tub after their ladies have departed. Nick has done a number of fine films for Red Devil and is a deservedly well-known performer. Aaron is appearing in films for the first time. He has a striking face with a small goatee and a stunning body that is made even more sensual by beautifully patterned hair.

Review brief: Just when I feared I was becoming disinterested in porn by seeing the same old things over and over, along comes a new studio with a talented team and a fresh approach that appears to take porn filming seriously. Fierce Dog is the new studio. THE BOTTOMING DESIRE is its first feature film. With handsome young actors, fine production values, some good sex, and an actual plotit is an awesome and auspicious beginning. The star name is the established performer Brad Star, but the star of the film is Tory Mason whom we ogled in the December Freshman Magazine. From his head to his toes this slender young hottie is very desirable. Indeed his feet are so beautiful that I couldnt imagine why one of the others didnt give them the oral worship that is their due. (Okay, so I have a foot fetish!) Tory plays an artist whose work has lost it. Brad is his agent who hopes to get Torys work back to its full potential. As the film opens Tory is getting a blowjob from Kyle the Trick. (Thats the name hes listed here as.) Kyle is a curly-haired cutie who eerily resembles a straight kid I know.

Directed by: Brian Mills
Review brief: It was almost as hard to imagine a SPY QUEST without Spencer Quest as to imagine a Bond film without Sean Connery. But the Bond enterprise came up with Daniel Craig and Titan has come up with Dean Flynn. (But more of Flynn later.) If you dont remember how Spy Quest ended (and I must admit I didnt) we get a brief reminder just as in the old Hollywood sequels. Black Fist has just had Spencer blown to smithereens. Although the plot is as fuzzy and convoluted as a Baroque opera, dont worry too much about it. The sex is the thing. The film opens in the Black Fists lair. Black Fist is menacingly portrayed by Tober Brandt. With his numerous piercings, a beard that resembles the devils horns, and startling contact lenses Tober is downright terrifying! There in this dungeon Greg York is bound and awaiting his masters pleasure. Dragging him by the collar Tober soon has Greg on his knees before him and is grinding his clad crotch into Gregs face. Tober then rips off his codpiece and his cock springs forth. Greg sucks and sucks.

Review brief: Back in the Dark Ages when Bob Mizer was filming nude models on 8mm and calling it art to keep from getting in trouble with the law (which he did anyway) who would have thought Bob was also making hardcore features? The proof is here on this DVD! Wow, if the law knew about them Mizer would probably have been executed. The films are not up (no pun intended) to our present day offerings but I can imagine viewers who were lucky enough to get these at that time must have worn the skin off their weenies. Even now they are capable of engorging organs. HARDCORE FILM CLASSICS consists of nine shorts of varying length and quality. All but one are in color and have post-dubbed music. One has post-dubbed voices. The one that is post-dubbed is the first and longest: Vito and the Love Bandit. Young Vito is on the sofa looking at a porn magazine and stroking his stiffy when a young masked bandit crawls through the window. The bandit is so distracted by Vitos dick that Vito is able to snatch the gun away and order the bandit down on his cock.

Review brief: It is a great pity that MSR Studios ceased production. They were an excellent studio and gave us some fine films. Indeed their WHITE TRASH is one of the best gay porn films ever made! Their demise is a complete mystery to me. I suppose its just another example of the incontrovertible rule of today if its good, they discontinue it. For their MANPLAY DOUBLE PACK Titan has rescued two of the MSR films directed by their legend-in-residence Joe Gage. CLOSED SET: THE NEW CREW and JOE GAGES SEX FILES # 1. The reason this CLOSED SET is called THE NEW CREW is because some years earlier Joe Gage had directed a film called CLOSED SET along with a sequel CLOSED SET 2. Both were before my time and I have seen neither but I assume that like this one they consisted of hunky guys and crew engaged in an orgiastic free-for-all. The action begins when Michael Brandon (he of the big dick) follows Carlos Morales into a warehouse where a naked Sean Storm is seated on the floor waiting for the cock which Carlos gives him.

Starring: Alex, Antonio Vela, Jeff Palmer, Jay Ross, Carlos Morales, Jarod Steel, Whitey Anders
Review brief: Despite the often jump-cut editing, this film is quite a pud-pounder. Carlos Morales, looking good but a bit scruffy, appears to tell us he is an exclusive for SX to make bareback films. We go immediately to the first scene where Carlos is paired with an extremely cute young twinkJarod Steel. Jarod sucks on Carlos cock, seemingly finding it quite a tasty morsel. He then allows Carlos to fuck him. As Carlos fucks him in the missionary position, he licks Jarods sweet feet. But it is when Jarod is in the subservient doggy position that the fucking really gets hot. Carlos' balls draw up to almost vanish as he pummels the young ass. He finally withdraws to deposit his load on Jarod's low-hangers. Jarod then cleans Carlos cock with his mouth and tongue. For scene two Carlos is with Alex and Whitey Anders. They stand before a sling. All wear white jocks. Whitey leans over the sling to suck Alexs black dick and enable Carlos to eat his ass. Whitey then gets up in the sling so Alex can fuck him.

Review brief: The twinks in this film are so very very young that by the time I got to the third scene I began to think that 14 referred to the age of the performers rather than to the number of the series. Of course in more enlighten countries (such as Europe and Australia) the age of consent is 16 but still the films have to conform to our Puritanical laws so Im sure the actors are all 18 (one old guy in the final scene is probably in his mid or even late twenties) nevertheless they look much youngertoo young for me, in fact. They say that when one gets older teenagers look younger and younger, so maybe Im just fearful of being a dirty old man. The action all takes place in various garages attached to apartment buildings that contain no automobiles just shelves for junk along with a number of footlockers. These latter come in handy for the sex. The little cuties have learned a couple of English phrases that they speak with heavy accents to start the scenes. This consists of such inspired pieces of dialogue as: This coffees too hot.

Review brief: ASS STRETCHERas its name impliesconsists of guys with extremely large (often freakish) endowments widening the anuses of their scene partners. There are six scenes spread over an eight-month period, but it looks like more scenes because there is no set-up to speak of and the editing is as fragmented as the view through a kaleidoscope. In the opening scene subtitled On the Sofa we discover a dark-skinned dude wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses sucking on the monster cock of a light-skinned dude. Its not erotic but comic as he looks like someone trying to swallow an entire salami. He doesnt do much better when the light-skinned dude gets up from his reclining position and attempts to face-fuck him. His anus is a more plausible receptacle so he lies on his side to take it that way. When the dark-skinned guy got up for the attempted face fucking we saw that he too had a donkey dick. Yet when hes fucked sidesaddle and later doggy (where the monster cock makes a deeper entry) hes turned away from us and we dont see it.
