WARNING!
Manu Maltes
Edu Boxer
I can summarize this edition of "Auditions" with one word: Wow!
"Auditions: Volume 4: Director's Cut" is, by description and design, easy to explain: men have sex and chat about it with director Michael Lucas. The sum of those parts equals one helluva flick, however, ably handled by Lucas & Co.
The opener, a scorcher with Edu Boxer and Manu Maltes, filmed at the Eagle ( http://EagleNYC.com ), is one of those once-in-a-lifetime scenes that features a flip-flop and raunchy watersports (a brief interlude within the main scene and additional footage in a separate chapter). They kiss and grope each other's sturdy frames frantically for the foreplay, eventually ripping off T-shirts to reveal hairy chests and solid muscles from head to toe. Edu begins the sex in earnest by ripping the seat out of Manu's jeans with his fingers before chowing down on hairy asshole. Not licking, or flicking, mind you -- full-on biting and tongue-fucking. I haven't seen rimming this intense, wet and sloppy in a long time (and Manu does the same to Edu's hole later). Edu then fucks Manu senseless atop the bar, really jamming his thick uncut prick in and out like a man -- doggy, sideways, missionary -- panting and grunting like a maniac. Priceless. The prey becomes the hunter next as Manu attacks Edu's hole, licking, biting and sucking it as good (if not better) than he got, preparing the hairy hole for the harsh fuck to come. And just as he was fucked like he stole something, he fucks Edu with equal force and vigor. This sequence illustrates, I believe, the difference between making love and fucking. These guys are fuckers, pure and simple. Manu fucks Edu with the power of ten men -- doggy, legs-up missionary, and sideways. Edu's eyes rolled back in what appears to be pure, unadulterated ecstasy. The cum-shots, like the rest, are intense: Manu shoots his spunk on Edu's tongue and beard, and when Edu brings himself off his load drips down Manu's temple and ear! The epilogue includes a revealing discussion with the director about their real-life relationship (Manu translates for Edu, a Spaniard who apparently doesn't speak much English), as Michael asks any question that comes to mind, even asking about their first time in the sack in real life (Manu's response is unbelievably candid). Amazing men. Amazing scene.
A three-way between Jack McCarthy, Dario Lopez and Jason Tyia, a versatile trio where everyone does everyone else is next. Brunet Jack is a tall drink of water, Jason a lean Latin cutie (with a sexy Spanish accent), and Jason is a brown-skinned bombshell with dick, booty and body for days. This is a truly versatile scene with everyone sucking and getting fucked with enthusiasm and solid technique. Jack is good, but Jason and Dario's chemistry throughout keeps it all humming along nicely.
Blu Kennedy, a stunning redhead from Oklahoma, hooks up with Michael Lucas for a bit of chitchat and then some serious fucking. Blu is a fiery redhead who comes across as the shy boy-next-door during his interview with Michael, but once the sex begins he lights up, swallowing whole Michael's long dick, and aggressively encouraging Michael to give him head as well. Michael, for his part, marvels at Blu's pure-white buttcheeks and light pink hole as he rims away before fucking the sensational redhead in a variety of positions. I'm a sucker for redheads, and Blu especially, and this scene showcases the red-hot redhead beautifully.
Michael chats it up with Parker Williams next, a tall muscular man with an enormous chest and Marlboro Man good looks. I have long been a Parker fan, and here he is at his manly best. After the chat, he trades blows with Michael, and then Michael opens up his butthole with his fingers for the camera, revealing a juicy hole with lotsa hair 'round the rim. It's a pretty puckerhole, to be sure, and Michael makes quick work of it, sliding his long dong in urgently. They change positions a few times, eventually easing into sideways (great camerawork in this position, Parker's face flushed pink as Michael pounds his hole). Then Parker slams his opened-up hole down on the cock as he straddles Michael's torso. Watching svelte Michael pound this big macho man was a real treat.
Marcel D'Ambrosio is a big dirty-blond from Brooklyn (big handsome face and big nipples), and he seems a bit reserved at first, telling Michael this is his first time on camera, but he opens up about his sexual preferences, and what turns him on. Again, as with the previous scene, Michael goes bananas fucking this big guy. They trade blows, and then Michael fucks him every which way but loose on a big bed.
DVD features: Chapters; watersports chapter (Edu and Manu) trailers; model bios; and no regional coding (playable worldwide).
A DVD Review by Butch Harris
In the words of the Bill Murray character at the end of the movie Groundhog Day, "Anything different is good!"
Michael Lucas has built his enterprise from the ground up, starting with low-budget films based in New York. These East Coast films differ markedly in style from their West Coast counterparts. While California porn promises slick, Hollywood-type productions, Lucas' films feature more diverse casts in a grittier style. This is similar, in some ways, I suppose, to the East Coast/West Coast rivalry in hip-hop. With time, Lucas' production values have improved greatly, but the East Coast and European sensibility remains. It is welcome to see a style markedly different from what we are used to viewing.
Lucas' Auditions series involves Lucas interviewing men who would like to appear in his films, followed by an on-camera "audition." As the publicity maintains, Lucas actually uses a "casting couch." Lucas himself appears in some scenes but not in others, which is a good thing. A little Lucas does tend to go a long way. In Auditions 4, however, Lucas has made a video that contains the scene of the year, and he wisely recuses himself from appearing in it. That scene opens the movie and in and of itself makes Auditions 4 definitely worth owning.
This scene features Colt supermodel Edu Boxer and his lover. In his prior appearances through Colt, Boxer is typically a shaved, trimmed, immaculately groomed top. Here, with his lover, Manu Maltes, Boxer is nothing less than a Tom of Finland cartoon come-to-life! Under the natural bar lighting, Boxer and Maltes tear off each other's T-shirts to reveal the hairy, perfectly chiseled muscles underneath. Neither is shaved, and Boxer has something close to a full beard.
With their T-shirts out of the way, Boxer and Maltes go at it, spitting in each others' mouths, licking their armpits and nipples, until finally, Maltes tears Boxer's tight blue jeans apart, ripping them at the asscrack. A man's perfect, hairy, firm and round ass has never before made such a dramatic and welcome entrance on film!
After eating that fine, fur-covered ass, Boxer rips off Maltes' jeans, removes his boots and torn trousers, and penetrates him missionary style. Boxer slow-fucks him, taking special care to grind against Maltes' hard cock and big balls with his abdomen.
Boxer pulls out and lovingly tongues the area where his dick just was. Then he stands and empties his bladder onto his lover. If you have never seen a video with a water-sports segment, this is the one to see. Boxer's piss splashes all over Maltes' hairy chest and into his mouth. Maltes spits it out back at him, then sucks that last few clear drops out from his cock and foreskin. And if that's not hot enough for you, what about supermodel top Edu Boxer getting fucked for the first time on film? Maltes pins Boxer down, spreads his hairy cheeks wide and digs his unshaved face into Boxer's hairy asscrack. After the tongue-fuck, Boxer lowers his ass, and Maltes penetrates Boxer's ass until Boxer is grunting and groaning in his native Spanish. And what do you do to a fresh-fucked ass? Well, you eat it, of course!
Then Maltes returns to a ball-pounding fuck, with more rimming and fucking along the way. After getting fucked like a dog, Boxer sucks Maltes to climax, and we get a great shot of Maltes' cum spurting onto Boxer's tongue. Boxer likes it so much that he just has to suck the rest of it out and swallow.
Maltes has to have Boxer's dick spit as well, and after getting a five-star facial from him, sucks the rest of Boxer's cum out of his foreskin. They kiss, and Boxer licks his own cum off Maltes' face.
This scene is a classic and is followed by Lucas' interview with the still-naked Boxer and Maltes. Lucas has a gift for interviewing, but a lot depends on his subject. Here, Maltes is quite open with details about his private life and history with Boxer. And if this isn't enough, there is even an extended water-sports sequence between Boxer and Maltes as an added special-feature.
But what if your tastes run more toward the twink side of life? In that case, the next two scenes will fill the bill. In the first, Lucas interviews young newcomers Jack McCarthy, Spaniard Dario Lopez and black Jason Tiya. Using the interview format to "warm up" the performers, the three go at it six ways to Sunday. The charming Lopez is the real find here, with a smile so warming you want to melt and with a dick to die for! Lopez is the type of twink that is as adept on top as he is on the bottom, and I look forward to seeing him again.
Next, Lucas appears in bed with Blu Kennedy, a thin redhead we've been seeing a lot of lately. Kennedy talks about his growing up in Enid, Oklahoma, and after he gets all relaxed, Lucas gets pretty wild with him. The most intriguing section occurs when Lucas blows air up Kennedy's ass, then orders him to fart in his face. He does this repeatedly, and I didn't know whether to giggle or try it with my lover. I guess I decided against trying it, but it sure was fun to watch.
Lucas is a top, and his long, thick, uncut cock is a gorgeous sight to behold as it eases in and out of Kennedy's butt. Lucas always shows off a nice spurt when he shoots, and Kennedy obviously has the time of his life here.
Next on the casting couch is 6'5" Parker Williams. With a football player's physique, Williams discusses his coming out. While reticent at first to discuss his private life, Lucas does a good job getting him to open up. Later, Lucas opens him up even more, plugging him good with his handsome boner. Williams is a real looker, rugged and masculine.
But Lucas gets him involved in some serious water-sports action here, which was a bit unexpected from the rather straight-laced, masculine Williams. Here Lucas spreads Williams' ass wide, and pisses into his rectum. Williams finishes by working out an explosive, monster cum shot.
Last but not least is a brief interview and scene with Lucas and the New York-born Marcel D'Ambrosio.
This video is a welcome relief from the slick superficiality one sees in some West Coast productions. One problem is that Lucas, with his male-model good looks, seems at times to take himself too seriously. That attitude makes him resemble a Zoolander-type parody. I'm unsure if Lucas is in on the joke.
What is no joke, however, is the simple, raw, gritty sexuality that makes Auditions 4 a fresh, essential addition to your collection.
