![]() Becoming Men $19.95 I THOUGHT THIS DOCUMENTARY WAS A WAKE UP CALL FOR EVERYONE TO PRACTICE SAFE SEX AND BE RESPONSIBLE IN HELPING REDUCE THE SPREAD OF AIDS ESPECIALLY FOR YOUNGER PEOPLE WHO DO NOT REMEMBER THE NUMBERS IT HAS ALREADY KILLED. ![]() Adored - Diary of a Porn Star $14.95 "Adored" The Diary of a Porn Star Amos Lassen "Adored" is the story of Riki Kandinski, a French gay porn star but it is also the story of family. It takes place in the south of France when Riki and his older brother Frederico go back to their family castle for their father's funeral. They have not been together for a long time and older brother knows nothing about his younger brother except that he lives in luxury and makes a lot of money for a few days of work a week. By chance, Frederico finds a gay porn magazine and sees his brother's picture in it. The movie actually happens in 2014 when a film crew contacts Frederico and asks for help in telling the story of 1990's porn star Riki. Moving backwards to 1999, we find Frederico determined to find out about his brother's life. Over a period of 18 months, Frederico faces Riki's homosexuality and his work. Through this the brothers become closer and develop a sense of family. Frederico is initially horrified about Riki but he is able to look past it and love his brother in spite of his lifestyle and career. "Adored" walks the thin line between lack of realism and making its dramatic points. It really doesn't matter that the film is unrealistic or that the storytelling aspect of the film is trite. It is the acting that saves this film and writer/director/star Marco Filiberti as Riki gives a performance of perfection. He has the role within his soul. He is quite simply astounding. Urbano Barberini as Frederico brings a refreshing realism to his performance. The film has its twists and turns, some of which throw the viewer off but the acting and the dialog as well as the characterizations are so good that I overlooked the minuses. What the film does so well is deal with is that people like porn stars are just people like everyone else and it examines what is family. This film, even though, it is blatantly unrealistic, has something to offer and it had me thinking. The film shows a sex-positive peek into the world of gay porn but it is about so much more than sex and money. Family and love are its themes as well as showing people who step outside of their comfort zone and opening their eyes to new ideas. ![]() Guys Gone Wild: Cream of the Crop - Platinum Editi $19.95 Not a Bad GGW it has Everything you look for in cheezey porn. Good Looking guys and their packages. But if you buy any of these based on the guys on the cover you will be disappointed, I have yet to buy one of these movies and see a guy on the cover on the DVD. Disappointed because you buy it assuming the people on the cover will be in it. Good Guys Gone Bad!!!!!Cream of the Crop says it all! ![]() Going Greek $9.95 I would've given it zero stars if it were possible. I felt nothing for the characters. I simply didn't care about them one way or the other. The way women were portrayed was disgusting. Every typical, cookie cutter, gag for a teen sex comedy was used, so much so that I found this movie boring. A total waste of money. |
