I'd pretty much go by the theme of the movie. The only ones that have somewhat disappointed me were ones where I wasn't overly interested in the subject, such as Don't Tell My Daddy because I don't really care much for barely legal movies. If his focus is on something you like, then I don't think you can go wrong.

I think Chris is one of the best up and coming directors around. He shot the last few Internal Cumbustion movies for us and also shot Goo 4 Two, our new cum swapping series. As far as his 3rd Degree titles the best ones I have seen is Upr Class and Ass Cream.
I'll second what Travis said about Up'r Class (probably my favorite Streams movie so far) and Ass Cream being some of his best 3rd Degree stuff. I've reviewed all of his that I've seen so far, and am going to get a few more 3rd Degree reviews up next month.

I would just go with the cast that you like best. I've yet to see a Chris Streams directed title, featuring a cast that I like, that I've been disappointed with.
For my money, you can't beat a movie that has a cast featuring Angel Dark, Rita Faltoyano, Jane Darling, Liliane Tiger, Stacy Silver and Julie Silver in it. So I love Goo 4 Two from Zero Tolerance.
+1 for Chris Streams! I must echo what's already been said. His stuff for 3rd Degree has been real good and depending on which girls you like if he shoots them then that scene will look good and have good heat! I enjoyed talking with him in Las Vegas and he told some pretty good stories about a certain Euro girl whom will remain nameless.
Travis, Does that mean that us Chris Streams fans should also be looking out for titles directed by "Sammy Sixx"?
What's with all of these director pseudonyms between ZT and 3rd Degree? Pat Myne = Danny Case Mike Quasar = Samson and now Chris Streams = Sammy Sixx (sometimes) all depending on which company they are shooting for.
What's the point? It just creates confusion and can only prevent people from buying a movie because it's from a director that they don't know.
A perfect example would be Goo 4 Two. 2HOT2HANDLE is looking for a Chris Stream movie to buy. Without your post, Goo 4 Two, would automatically be taken off of that list becasue, as far as ZT is concerned, it was directed by Sammy Sixx, not Chris Streams.
Chris shoots camera for a lot of his friends out there, especially all of Danny Case's movies. He has also shot movies for Sammy Six at Zero Tolerance. Even though he's the cameraman for Sammy Six's movies, he is not the director like he is not the director for any of Danny Case's movies. On the movies he doesn't direct, he has no involvement with the production or the direction of the movie. All he is required to do is to show up to set to shoot the movie, while the director is present to put forth their vision on how they want the scene to be shot. Obviously, he does give his imput on things while he is shooting for others so you are always going to see Chris's style come forth in any of these movies. That also goes for Mike Quasar. When both Chris and Mike Quasar are the actual directors of a movie, they have full production/direction control of a movie. These movies are their visions, while the other movies are someone else's vision. Hope that clears it up.
Thanks, Tony Santoro 3rd Degree Films

Thanks Tony. When Travis wrote "He shot the last few Internal Cumbustion movies for us and also shot Goo 4 Two, our new cum swapping series." , I took that to mean that he directed both of them (knowing for sure that he directed the recent Internal Combustion volumes.
I just like to say thank you to everyone and to Bill I will try to clear all the shooting/directing stuff up.
I direct one movie a month for both ZT and 3rd Degree.(these have my name as director on them) I shoot everything for Pat Myne and Danny Case I shot Goo for Two while in Czech for Sammy Sixx(this is the only movie I did for him) I'm now shooting for Mick Blue the scenes in which he performs, he will camera all others for his ZT movies.
This puts me at about 37 scenes a month and I love every second of it.
We are talking about Chris Streams -movies. But with Mike Quasars camera stuff. I think all Camera by Mike Quasar stuff is same, it doesnt matter who is listed as Director, if Mike Quasar is cameraman, then action in screen always look same to me. And in NJA8Teen Movie's and Who's Your Daddy's Mike Quasar is talking what to do in BTS, it's not Greg Alves. same thing was with Virgin Surgeon, Mark Davis is listed as director, but Mike Quasar was directing in BTS.
So we need Cameraman listed in box cover or REAL Director name in Cover. Cameramans name in cover is better, At least with ZT, then i really know if movie is well done. Now i have to wait reviews to be sure if Mike Quasar is Cameraman.
And put those Cameramans listed in 3rd Degree movies also. I have seen 3 first scenes in Ass Cream, and camera work was super.
"We are talking about Chris Streams -movies. But with Mike Quasars camera stuff."
Chris and I have entirely different styles and I have never shot anything with Chris's name on it and vice-versa. You can be sure that if it says "Directed by Chris Streams" that he is indeed the cameraman.
Yeah i know, i just did talk about your movies in this topic. btw, Ass Cream was Directed and Shooted by Chris. It was different style, still good, like i said before.
But like i said also, i'am not sure about a lot of ZT:s/3rd Degree movies, i have no idea if you, Chris or some other is Cameraman.
If i only buy Directed by Mike Quasar or Directed by Chris Streams stuff, then i will miss alot of stuff you and Chris have done. Like whole 8teen movie serie, because G. Alves name is in cover. I need that Cameraman name in Box cover, put it.
1on1fan, That's what I was trying to clear up, if you read my last post I think you will know what I shoot as far as Mike Quasar he would have to tell you who he shoots for.
To clarify, I shoot camera on every ZT movie except the Internal Cumbustion line which Chris shoots and the movies that David Perry shoots for us in Europe (Gaper Maker, Wrecked em etc)
As for 3rd degree, I have shot 4 titles for Samson (Tits ahoy, Finger Licking Good, Beef Eaters and soon-to-be-released "lick it up"). Chris shoots everything else. In my opinion Chris IS 3rd degree. A man who truly loves his work.
Thanks to everyone's recommendations, I saw Camel Hoe's 1, Up'r class and Crack Addicts 2 and I have to say those movies really met my expectations! Great girls, beautiful picture, good light, exciting tease sessions and the heat is on! Class act.
I'm already looking forward to seeing more of Chris work and now I understand why everyone introduce him as such a talented director! It's so true he shoots everything perfectly and the angles are terrific!
Being a huge porn fan and considering I've watched hundreds flicks, it's very rare I am impressed with the first shot or with the first 5 minutes of a movie, but this time I was!
Perhaps you could clear a couple of things up for me. Is Danny Case also Pat Myne the performer? From the BTS it seems you collaborate on a lot of stuff and i have noticed different styles - as if Pat directs but you still do the camera.
I'd also like to know about Harmony Rose. Will she be doing anal at all, and is she now a contract girl for legend - if so does that mean she won't do anymore 3rd Degree?
Are the Euro girls shot in Europe or do they have US permits? Oh, and who's your favourite girl?
Thanks.
I would recommend Camel Hoes 2 - any news of more Cassie Young shoots for 3rd Degree?
I can answer one question for you! Danny Case, is the AVN award winning performer Pat Myne. Pat also is a producer/director for Metro. He started directing I believe for Elegant Angel, then Metro. He hired Bridgette twice while directing at Elegant Angel. I believe he has directed at least 42 movies at Metro so far, maybe even more. Danny Cases very best work and effort will be found at 3rd Degree films. Danny Case owns his movies there! All of which are top fucking notch! Back to that sassy outlaw Chris Streams. There is nothing Chris Directs that is not top notch! Skeeter Kerkove "King of Sodom" in porn valley, Everybody pays their bills on time! Porn producer, director, performer. I am a huge fan of hardcore porn
I was watching the BTS of something the other day. I thinkt that it was "Asswholes" but I can't swear to it. During the BTS, Danny/Pat referred to himself as Pat Myne and then said something like "Oh wait, I'm not Pat Myne, I'm Danny Case."
I don't like it when performers have multiple names. But it makes absolutely no sense to me when directors have multiple names.
I saw a review which said Danny Case was his director's name while Pat Myne was his name for performing. But then i read that all the Internal Cumbustion movies were done by Chris Streams - when number two has Danny Case on the box.
Then Danny Case disappeared off the face of the planet - only to reemerge for Suck Fuck Swallow! So i thought - i've had enough of this - dvd talk can sort it out.
No, Danny Case did direct INternal Cumbustion, #'s 1,2, and 3 that is. Chris Streams helped him on camera for these. But Chris Streams directed and shot IC #'s 4,5, and 6.
The style between the first 3 to the last 3 is slightly different in the tease sequences... I always liked how danny case says all the right words to make the girls feel naughty. Chris Streams is less pyschological, though I have yet to see # 6, I've seen 1-5
