Deliciously muscular Fredrick Ford and cute blond Matthew Mayfair arrive in Palm Springs for a relaxing weekend. Matthew rips off his shirt to catch some rays, leaving Fredrick to unpack. But, before he can do that, he finds a stray VHS tape ... then two ... three ... a whole cache of them (this must be the last VHS tape collection anywhere!). Matthew iterates my thought, asking "who puts anything on VHS anymore?" and Fredrick aims to find out, since the tape is labeled "Your Eyes Only." That just begs to be watched, whereas "Cow Milking 12/4/03" might be less seducing.

The cameraman for what we see is the always-welcome Doug Jeffries (who also wrote the film). He is videotaping beefy Marcel D. getting a gleeful deep-throat from energetic tall brunet Derrick Hanson. Derrick dives into a wolfish greedy spitting routine, stopping only long enough to lick other parts of Marcel. They know they are being filmed by Doug, so as he tells them what to do, they do it so eagerly, he pops out his boner and it joins the scene. From there, a camera other than pumped Doug's helps show the summer-colored action. Marcel takes on Doug with Derrick remaining in place. Marcel's appetite is hearty enough to move to Derrick's dick and also his plump tuggable balls. Doug's camera catches their intense 69, with Derrick still sucking ferociously and Marcel eating his ass. Derrick's attentions turn to Marcel's ass, going as strongly there as he did around the front. In a nice twist, the somewhat tradey Marcel is the one who gets fucked, and since Derrick is in such an anxious overly-frisky mood, it makes total sense. He does a sprinty delightful job of hammering away at the bigger bottom without any loss of interest from his oral work. After Marcel gets fucked on his back, both cum nearly simultaneously.

There are more tapes to be viewed, so Fredrick and Matthew do just that. Next up are the insanely adorable couple of Turk Mason and Vance Winter. These two petite brunets are almost indistinguishable at first, wrapped in each others arms so comfortably that you want to pinch both ass AND face cheeks. They kiss and grope with oodles of romantic charm, a different mood completely from the insane lust of Derrick's work in the last scene. Vance's rather hefty cock is the first to rear its head and Turk graciously blows it. It actually looks like a true labor of love for him, dedicated as he is to gobbling up as Vance holds his head down on it. Turk lavishes the same sensuality on Vance's balls and even in his licks up Vance's chest, all to preserve the tingly sweet aura of the scene. When naked, the difference between them becomes apparent. No, no, not that! Merely that Turk has a tattoo on his left shoulder. For those thinking of the other naked difference, there really isn't one. Turk is beautifully hung as well, and Vance delights in sucking him just as much. Vance smiles an awful lot as he sucks, adding to the lovely confection of the scene. Nibbling down past his balls, Turk moves to rimming Vance, doing so with such a light tongue that Vance is thrown into physical ripples of ecstasy. Little Turk makes what he wants very apparent by slithering to the floor on all-fours. Vance eagerly licks at his ass, getting whimpers of glee from Turk, and then finally fucking the needy bottom. Their first position finds Turk flat on the floor and Vance doesn't break their tender mood by doing anything harder than simple slow thrusts. This scene is not about greediness, but rather mutual pleasure. Turk rides on Vance with the same gentleness. The bottom then sucks Vance in order to take a facial from him, a feat returned in kind by Turk. It's much to director Chi Chi LaRue's credit that these first two very different scenes can exist side-by-side with the same wonderful very sexy results.

The third viewed scene does a complete 180 from the twin twinks of the second scene. Into the film swagger butch heroes Mario Ortiz and Rik Jammer (in a brightly lit room). The über-hunky Rik licks Mario all over, starting at his pits with deep intent. Hoisting Rik's arms high in the air, Mario goes for Rik's pits and then bites hard at his pointed nipples. All the while, Mario's hand is digging into Rik's ass, even pulling out a finger for them to co-taste. The action here is too hot for Doug not to show himself, especially when Mario whips out his enormous curved cock. Rik starts the blowjob slowly, teasing with the slightest of licking and some foreskin tuggings. But, knowing that he has an audience, he then swallows Mario whole, a feat that only a few could do. Rik does it with every trip down and his own personal amazing flair. Doug pokes his cock at Rik's busy mouth, but Rik has the oomph for both dicks, deep-throating them both without so much as breaking a sweat. With Rik still going haywire on Mario (who is now holding the camera), Doug gets behind Rik, starting to poke around at that most unique organ. The three macho men beat off together, each taking the camera to show their dicks from different angles. Lucky Rik has both men on the kitchen counter, their asses ready for his unbridled rimming pleasure. From the airy tongue pokes of the last scene, Rik changes to blunt forceful tongue-fucking here. With Rik back to devouring Mario whole, Doug takes on the fucking chores. It's not really a chore to fuck Rik Jammer, but rather a true pleasure, and Doug exploits his ready-and-willing ass to the fullest. The men roar like animals as Doug builds steam with a masculine aggressive topping. Thankfully, Doug can take as well as he gives, because Mario has the same sort of punishing spiriting in mind when he fucks Doug. With Rik filming them, Mario pounds away at Doug, plowing the full length (and curve) of his dick very deeply. Rik holds the camera so Mario and Doug can cum on him, and then Mario takes it so Rick can beat off while Doug sits on his face.

During the previous scene, Fredrick and Matthew discovered they couldn't hold in their own passions any longer. So, after some make out, Fredrick gorged himself on Matthew's cock, sucking the thick one with strong ability. Fredrick, so natural with a camera on him, steals the scene by letting his abs (one of the best six-packs around) play a co-starring role along with his mouth. He then lets his big boner loose for Matthew to suck. The first position has Matthew on his back, so he's unable to do much with Fredrick's potent face-fuck, but in a more comfortable position he finds himself able to chug down on far more of it. It's a damn long piece, but Matthew actually deep-throats it a few times, not forgetting the balls just beneath need his attention also. Matthew plays the teasing head-poking game at Fredrick's ass with his cock, with Fredrick rather gymnastically holding his leg all the way back. The tease doesn't lead into the fuck, with the direction now teasing the viewer by throwing in a very spirited rimming from Matthew. However, Fredrick does eventually get fucked by Matthew, who starts out cautiously, apparently unaware of Fredrick's power as a bottom. It's not until Fredrick, with the cock in him, flips over and begins to ride that the anal action takes off. Matthew thrusts upward at Fredrick with more power and the bottom effortlessly slides down the full length of the pole with determination. Their twin cum-shots, with Fredrick manning the cocks, coat Matthew's chest in goo. "That was so hot. That guy should have been here filming us," Fredrick says afterward. Guess what?

Few directors can handle the scope of layered flicks better than Chi Chi LaRue, so "Caught" seems like something the master can rattle off in his sleep. However, this video is only deceptively simple. Its trick photography is seamlessly edited and each scene really has a potent mood of its own, not to mention ace performances from guys like Rik Jammer and Fredrick Ford, on top of the drool-worthy machinations of Turk and Vance. Managing that can't be as easy as it looks here. Other than a frankly annoying screechy musical score, "Caught" is wistful delightful porn of a very high degree.

DVD features: Chapters; cum-shots chapter; trailers ("Men in Mallorca," "Huge Deposits," "Chain of Command" and "Night Callers"); no regional coding.

A DVD Review by Brent Blue

Written by and starring gay porn director Doug Jeffries, Caught features a series of the unconnected sexcapades all caught on a handheld video camera. As the sexual hijinx unfold, Ford and Mayfair get so worked up, they unwittingly star in Jeffries' next home video.

Jeffries is filming the sexually unconquerable Derrick Hanson going down on Marcel D by the pool. The general impression of a dad/son thing ensuing between Marcel and Hanson works very well, and it doesn't hurt that Derrick Hanson sucks cock as if his life depended on it. While filming the escapade, Doug Jeffries whips out his cock to get serviced by both Marcel and Hanson, and the sizzling performances are all caught from both the studio camera and Jeffries' handheld. After a brief 69 and rimming session, Hanson sinks his cock into Marcel's ass; meanwhile, Ford is stroking Mayfair's substantial erection through his lycra swimsuit when they watch both Marcel and Hanson blow their loads.

Next up are Turk Mason and Vance Winter, a set of tweens whose physical beauty should be considered the inarguable definition of "twink." Damn, these boys look great! As Winter cradles Mason in his arms on the couch, they kiss sensuously in one of the hottest make-out/foreplay scenes I've seen in a long time. Winter pulls out Mason's sizeable cock and gives it a few hearty strokes before both boys strip and inhale each other's cocks. All the while, the action is caught (hence the title) on the video screen of Jeffries' video camera. Mason blows his watery load on Winter's face and chest and then jerks off Winter on the floor.

Voyeur Jeffries returns in a scene in the kitchen, where Mario Ortiz and Rik Jammer have already started hot 'n' heavy on the oral foreplay. In the suite, Ford is scarfing down Mayfair's pole, all the while keeping his eyes glued to the screen. Again, Jeffries joins in, letting Jammer suck his cock while filming it all. After rimming both Ortiz and Jeffries, Jammer bends over for Jeffries to pound his ass while Ortiz gets a blow job and films Jammer swallowing his thick, uncut Latin cock. Mayfair has stripped completely, and by the time Jammer, Jeffries and Ortiz have all squeezed out their milky loads, Ford and Mayfair have forgotten the video and get busy making one of their own (unbeknownst to them!). You can tell Ford really gets off getting the bejeezus fucked out of him by Mayfair. Straddling Mayfair, Ford jerks himself and his partner off in a gloriously messy finale right before seeing Jeffries in the window with his camera. The DVD extras include a chapter selection, pop shot menu and trailers.
