Studio: Daddy Oohhh
Starring: Nick Stone, Jeff Baron, Rick Randy, P.J. Dixon, Ian Mathis, Julian Morino, Ricky Amman
Review brief: Cast: Nick Stone, Jeff Baron, Rick Randy, P.J. Dixon, Ian Mathis, Julian Morino and Ricky Amman in major sex roles; Tom Spade, Trey Anubis and Evan Teed in minor sex roles and bonus footage. Director: Miles Strayhorn Writer: Cock Robin, based on a book by Gore Vittle. Production date: ©2003 Length: 81 min. Extras: An 8-min. bonus scene "in the raw," 4 min. of behind-the-scenes footage and 18 min. of trailers (for all five of Daddy Oohhh!'s previously released titles). Audio/visual quality: Much of the camerawork has a documentary feel, allowing the viewer to experience the maze of hallways and rooms right along with the performers. The setting is Basic Plumbing, a Seattle sex club sparsely furnished with oversized industrial and art objects. At odd moments, this dark and surreal environment reminds me of Wakefield Poole's Bijou, a movie which I very much like. The lighting tends to be somewhat dimthe undersaturated colors almost approach sepia tones at times. This does fit the atmosphere very well, however, and it does not prevent the action from being seen.

Review brief: Cast: Jeff Baron, Brett Collins and Cody Scott (each clearly identified by clips in the credits, which I always appreciate). Director: Richard Wagner Writer: Toby R. Noddtobe, based on a book by Henri de Ballsack. Someone's had fun cooking up a slew of puns for the end credits. My favorite? The production sound mixer, Sean Song d'Moor. Production date: ©2002 Length: 65 min. Extras: A 10-min. behind-the-scenes featurette and a gallery with 42 images. Audio/visual quality: The visual quality is tolerable, but not the finest effort I've seen from this studio. The camerawork meanders at times; there are unsteady moments in the handheld footage and possibly too much use of the zoom. The focus is not always as sharp or careful as it should be. The lighting conditions also pose a minor challenge, due to the high contrast between sunlit windows and candlelit interior. Despite the flaws, the movie's never unwatchable.

Review brief: Cast: Nick Stone, Victor Rios, Simon August, Sean Anderson and Roman Reade. Director: Richard Wagner, Ph.D. Writer: Steven E. Webb (The storytelling is wordlessthere is no audible dialog.) Production date: ©2001 Length: 70 min. Extras: An 8-min. behind-the-scenes featurette and four performer galleries with 515 photos each. Audio/visual quality: Daddy Oohhh! is a young studio that's still working toward improvement in their technique. Expect some problems with grain, soft focus, rough edits and white balance shifts. The camera style is not highly explicit and usually avoids extreme close-ups. But the lighting is good overall, and the sets are visually appealing. The first scene incorporates the same classy modern rooms that appear in Good Morning Men, with a mirrored headboard providing an alternate angle on some of the action. The second scene features a sexy red and brown tribal-themed den that I haven't seen before. Daddy Oohhh!'s soundtracks never fail to please me.

Starring: Nick Stone
Review brief: Cast: Nick Stone, Sebastian Long (aka Roman Reade), Sean Anderson, Bryce Denem, Todd Newman, Clay Calhoon, Bart Wells, Angus Reed and Orlando Alverez. Director: Richard Wagner, Ph.D. Writer: Steven E. Webb Production date: ©2001 Length: 60 min. Extras: A 5-min. behind-the-scenes featurette, a trailer for Bodyrocks II and a gallery with 50 images. Audio/visual quality: It's clear right from the opening credits that this is a classy and artistic production. The camera traces the elegantly lit contours of an attractive nude bodyit's Nick Stone, reclining and breathing deeplywhile a smooth, sexy dance beat plays on the soundtrack. The editing is spirited and playful, with lots of special effects like split screens, picture-in-picture, monochrome tints, widescreen masks, enhanced motion, jump cuts, mirror images, blurs, frames and filters (I'm not sure I have all the correct technical names, but hopefully you get the idea). There are ongoing issues with soft focus, remnants and shadows throughout the movie, but they're not too distracting.

Review brief: Cast: Victor Rios, Simon August, Benton Place and Roman Reade (all performers are clearly identified by credit screens preceding their scenes and also by clips in the end credits, which I appreciate). Director: Richard Wagner, Ph.D. Writer: Steven E. Webb Production date: ©2002 Length: 73 min. Extras: A 15-min. behind-the-scenes featurette and four performer galleries with 68 photos each. Audio/visual quality: The visual quality is somewhat hit-and-miss, but when it hits, it's quite nice. The lighting is about right, and very good use is made of natural sunlight in several places. The camera angles are also pleasing, with occasional peeks around the shower walls or bed canopy to give a voyeuristic feel. Video problems include soft focus shifts, slightly rough edits, mild camera shake, significant grain, a bit of moiré and a few artifacts. The technical issues are definitely noticeable, yet not so distracting that they ruin the movie.

Starring: Nick Stone, Jeff Baron, Luc Hugo, Mateo Urrutia, Justin Strife, Gabriel Comet, Simon August
Directed by: Richard Wagner
Review brief: Cast: Jeff Baron, Nick Stone, Mateo Urrutia, Luc Hugo, Justin Strife, Gabriel Comet and Simon August (all actors are nicely identified by clips in the credits, which I appreciate). Director: Richard Wagner, Ph.D. Writer: Toby R. Nodtobe (based on a book by Henry David Threw, and yes, you should read the movie's end credits for even more goofy puns) Production date: ©2002 Length: 97 min. (The cover states 105 min., which is the length of feature plus the length of the behind-the-scenes featurette.) Extras: An 8-min. behind-the-scenes featurette and a slide show with 27 movie stills. Audio/visual quality: The visual quality is acceptable, but a little amateurish. There are ongoing issues with camera jitters, soft focus, color shifts, grain. The lighting is always adequate, but sometimes rather harsh and uneven. The camera operators eschew proctocam close-ups, instead providing teasing glimpses from just enough angles to confirm that the anal penetration is authentic. The balance of wide, medium and close-up shots is generally pleasing.
