Review brief: South American Pictures have added a bit of fun to their films with their beastmen. First it was Animal Instincts; now its The Beast Within. In the first film men turned into tigers. Here there is a horned hunk that prowls about and is either fucked or fucks those he encounters. It is a friendly beast. The film opens on a spectacular scene. Four incredible hunks are frolicking in a stream. The scenery and the hunks make for a beautiful opening. It would have been even more spectacular if the men had not been wearing bathing suits. As they are splashing about, we see the beastman rummaging though their belongings. The guys get out of the river and go their ways. Onewho has spotted the beastgoes in pursuit. There is a wary encounter before the beast devours the young mans cockand a big one it is. The beast has a headdress with a pair of rams horns and a posing shell covers his dick. We see when the shell is removed that the beast is not overly hung. The beast bends over and the guy with the big dick fucks him with one of those magically appearing condoms. The beast never gets hard.

Review brief: This film opens with a scene I first saw as a bonus scene in Animal Instincts. In it we find a handsome stud calling a hustler on the phone. When the hustlera beautiful thing with a swimmers buildarrives, the john lowers the hustlers pants and swallows the hirelings bountiful rod. The handsome client then bends over the coffee table to get fucked. After a time, he moves to a larger table. Finally, he crawls up onto the table and lies in a fetal position where the hustler follows to ride him sidesaddle. They finish up back on the sofa where the hustler continues to plow into him. The hustler is the first to cum, but waits for his client to cum, too. The hunk writes out a check for the hustler. Both guys certainly got their moneys worth. So, did I. I just couldnt figure out why such a handsome guy would need to pay for sex. In the second scene, a scruffy man in his thirties (hes the oldest guy in the film) is at his bathroom sink when his young slender lover comes in. The lover has a really big uncut cock and the older guy gladly falls to his knees for morning worship.

Review brief: ANIMAL INSTINCTS is a better than average Brazilian film that features an array of handsome young guys. It alternates regular suck & fuck scenes with those in which a person has metamorphosized into a tiger-man. Our first couple seems to be at the zoo as the guys stand before a picture giving information on a tiger. They chatter away in Portuguese. Thereafter they retire to a secluded spot and start to have sex. One of them is a handsome blond; the other is short and dark and has a short goatee. The blond goes down on the dark ones flaccid uncut cock and brings it to a standing. This little guy has an enormous whopper. The blond shuffles out of his briefs and we think it is his turn to get sucked, but he turns away and getting on all fours presents his butt for impalement. Big Little Man accepts the offer and thrusts into the waiting hole. The handsome bond is fucked in a variety of positions.

Review brief: How boring it would be if all porn were the same. So, its great that there are films out there to suit every conceivable taste. As a result, there are some films like this one that are somewhat limited in their appeal. I found this a very difficult film to review because the performers were definitelyrepeat DEFINTELYnot my type. Now I find lots of types to my taste. Twinks, muscle studs, gorgeous Europeans, ethnic guys, slender hairy guys, smooth totally shaved guys, guys with big dicks, guys with little dicks, guys with foreskins, guys without foreskins, masculine guys, effeminate guys--all can turn me on. But big burly guys that are advanced in years with hair on their shoulders and enormous bellies are just not my thing. Luckily there are guys who go for this type. Cyber Bear films are made for these viewers. The film opens with Chad Llong seated on the sofa reading. Chad is just an average Joe who has not taken good care of his body or watched his diet. Hes not fat, but the flesh is not firm. Tank enters and they kiss. Tank is well named. He is the size of a tank.

Review brief: SKIN ON SKIN is another of Arenas Brazilian cut and paste jobs. Scenes follow one another with no preparation or set-up and the action seems to have been filmed at various times. For example the blond dude on the cover (the best thing in this opus) appears in the first two scenes with coal black hair and then appears in the final two with the blond hair we see on the DVD cover. He is recognizable because of the chain necklace and the ring on his up-yours finger. Also because of his distinctive moans of pleasure and his insatiable love of having something up his ass. In the first scene we find this lovely slut crawling onto a bed where two others are naked. They are a muscular dude with a shaved head that appears in most of these films that I have referred to as El Baldo and a good-looking slender but well-built young hunk with a beauty mark mole on his chin. Our handsome cover manwith black hair heresucks the cocks of the other two and takes their cocks up his ass. No one cums in the scene.

Review brief: How appropriate I thought that a DVD entitled Men of the Midnight Hour should arrive just in time for Halloween. The Pix on the cover looked exciting and it was with joyous expectation that I popped it into the DVD player. First upand I mean UPwas a husky dude wearing a silky black cape and a silver mask that covered his entire face who was outside on a patio with a beautifully built stud clad only in red bikini briefs who was wearing a jesters half-mask that left the mouth free for cocksucking. And suck cock he did. Eventually this sucking Adonis stripped out of those bikini briefs to reveal a really succulent piece of uncut meat. Unfortunately his churlish partner was not the least bit interested in it! He was interested, however, in those meaty buns and soon gave them a standing fuck. After a time they got more comfortable as the caped crusader lay back on a bench and our muscular Adonis sat on the caped louts dick and rode it. Then handsome rose and took off his mask to reveal a face as beautiful as that smooth gorgeous bod.

Starring: Rocky, Billy Herrington, Tom Katt, Ken Ryker
Review brief: This is the first film from Ken Ryker Productions a company formed by the superstar to market his appearances. Financially it was probably a good move, but whether or not it produces top-of-the-line films remains to be seen. Now dont get me wrong, its not a bad film. But I found it rather flat. Ken Ryker is indeed an awesome creature. He is tall, blond, handsome, hairy-chested, the epitome of a football linebacker. Added to this, he possesses one of the biggest cocks in porndom. The problem is hes obviously straight. As a result, his scenes lack any passion. Its like watching a robot fuck. But he commands attention despite that great stone face and one watches with awe and admiration for those impaled on that monster dick. As far as I can figure from the disjointed plot (written by Ken) Drew Larsen and Ken own a bar called Rykers Web. There is a large spider web in the bar, the strands of which are constructed of chains. It provides the background for only one scene. The film begins when Tom Katt and Chris Taylor arrive before opening and ask to be admitted for a game of pool.

Review brief: THE HAUNTED HOUSE ON SEX HILL does not star Vincent Price. But what a cast it has! Director Thor Stephans has assembled an unbeatable array of talentor perhaps, I should say (from the viewers point of few) a very beatable array of talent indeed. He has also devised a plot that keeps the viewer entranced and more than serves as a link between the scorching sexual encounters. As the film opens, the camera pans over a deserted bedroom and comes to rest on an answering machine. A message informs Damon Wolf that his aunt has died and mentioned him in her will. This comes at a vital time for Damon and his lover Braeden Casey, as they are very hard up financially. We cut to these two lovers in the shower where they arewell, uhvery hard up. God, but they look beautiful together! Damon has a dark olive complexion, while Braeden is as pale as fresh milk. Both have musculature that only comes from intensive gym work. Braedens pecs are particularly incredible. (See for yourself on the DVD cover.) One could suckle them all day. But it is his dick that Damon drops to his knees to suckle.

Review brief: A handsome dark-skinned Brazilian guy hauls himself out of the pool. No sooner has he sat down then the buzzer at the gate rings and he goes to open it to a muscular dude with a shaved head. They carry on a long conversation in Portuguese about various carryings-on of the bald dude. The first experience is with a very handsome (the best looking guy in the film) dark blond beauty who we first see lying on a leopard skin bench stroking his dick through his underwear. A totally naked guy walks into the frame and blondy begins sucking on his dick. The guy returns the favor and then guy after guy enters, all presenting their cocks for the blond to suck. The bald dude is among them. After the handsome blond has sucked them all and rimmed the muscular bald guy, El Baldo eats out his ass in order to prepare it for fucking. Then a gangbang starts with several of the guys sticking it to the blond beauty. The most impressive dick belongs to a black guy. It is the size of an arm, and indeed at one point he seems about to fist the blond. Sometimes the blond is plugged at both ends.

Review brief: As we can tell from the title, this little treatise is centered on the Internet. It is a Mans Best German release that YMAC has confiscated to release in the U.S. We begin with a twink looking at x-chat@boys on the web. He is joined by another twink. They suck and the Internet viewer is fucked. In the second scene Leo Skala, a cute black-haired twink is playing with his laptop computer. Two other twinks join him to play with his laptop. (The computer has vanished.) One of them has shaved his pubic hair. (This turns me on!) Young baldy gets fucked by the others. In the third and final scene, Steeve Sanders and Leo and looking at the Internet before sucking cock. Then Steeve fucks Leo. With only three scenes YMAC shouldnt be charging much for this one. Sure the twinks twinkle and the sex is OK.

Review brief: BOYS AT PLAY is great the way it pairs its players, and is one of the better South American films I have seen. The performers range from boys to hunky men. Mother Nature has generously endowed all, and all are quite experienced in man-to-man sex. Three of the four scenes take place around a pool; another takes place in the back of an SUV. (Now I know why the are so many of these on the roads these days.) The first sexual encounter is with two cute young twinks sunbathing by the pool. They play a little game of touchy-feely and are soon engaged in some sucking, sixty-nining, and a flip-flop fuck. They may be young, but they are definitely not new to the game. The second scene is the one in the SUV. It also establishes the neat pairings that occur in the rest of the film: that of opposites. Opposites may, or may not, attract, but they sure make for great viewing. One of these guys is muscular and has shaved all of his body hair including his pubic hair. The other is slender, and very hairy. What a combo! Both have big dicks.
