One of the pleasures of reviewing a Steve Cruz movie, beside first watching it, is that Steve invariably e-mails a note of thanks, even when I’m critical. He gives me some background of the movie’s creation, which I really like. He’s not making excuses, but helping me know more about what it’s like to...
The naturally ebullient performances of Steve Cruz have evolved to nearly egregiously ebullient filmmaking. With spouse Bruno Bond, Cruz has been making idiosyncratic videos for their boutique label, Hard Friction, which is released by Raging Stallion. His (their?) high spirits show in two new movies – to the detriment of one. For the first...
I had decided to dislike Focus. And then I saw it. Wow. Focus, together with its second half, Refocus, is a keystone sexo for Raging Stallion Studios and directors Chris Ward, Ben Leon, and Tony Dimarco. It’s innovative, with an ambitious reach. It’s handsomely filmed, and deliciously scored with the low-down electro-thrill of four...
This week, two movies from Mustang: Darkroom, with some kink that purposefully shies short of full-throttle scare; and Dirty!, which served up the first sight of Ty LeBeouf’s progression from stud pup to stud, from shaved body to whiskered and be-haired. Both movies were neatly directed by the generally dependable team of Leif Gobo...
After their Mustang line spent several seasons tossing about in seas of fabricated machismo, Falcon honchos decided it needed re-branding. I couldn’t be more in agreement. I took a greater interest when the re-imagining fell to two choice guys I actually know. Somewhere in the latter part of the last century, I worked on...
It was admittedly a cursory scan, but I was scared off by my first look at Raging Stallion’s Hotter than Hell Part 2 . I’d thought HtH Part 1 was one of last year’s best movies. It had just enough story to support a whole lot of masculine, lustful and, most of all, good-spirited...
I don’t do Best and Worst lists. I just haven’t seen enough to have that much of an overview. But here are some odds-and-ends opinions from another year in porn. Movie title of the year Don’t Tell My Wife I Sucked You Off. Most fascinating guy aka favorite performer of the year No doubt...
Two decades of a busy, creative life making other people in the community famous haven’t resulted in much renown for Kent Taylor. That may be because his work as a photographer takes place behind the scenes. But you’ve seen his bright and bold clickography all over. From the very first Miss Trannyshack Calendar to...
It’s my plan to hopscotch around the sexo scene, reviewing as many disparate types of movies from as many producers as possible, letting time pass before revisiting companies. But when a good movie lands on my desk, well, I’ve just gotta write about it, even though that company’s product has been featured in recent...
It’s been at least a couple years since film school graduate Ben Leon began working for, and with, Chris Ward at Raging Stallion. While Leon’s shown all kinds of promising skill during this time, I’m sure I’ve been entirely impatient for him to be as good as his mentor. Well, upon completing the unusually...
