I don't know FF,

But I haven't watched an Andrew Blake title in a long long time, and I'm getting mighty tempted these days...

Is he still shooting the lesbo stuff where the girls hardly even touch each other and all you hear is music playing?
Just wondering. His stuff would be top notch if the girls actually did something to each other and you could actualy hear them doing it. Know what I mean?

I can't agree with that... his stuff is top-notch! But, I do agree that I'd love to see him shoot something a little harder at some point.

Andrew Blakes makes movies with about as much erotica as a soggy sandwich.
In my opinion, guys, so don't take a fit.
Cheers, from Rump.

No!! I am going to take a fit! You're completely wrong!! A soggy sandwich is wayyyyy hotter than anything Blake has done in years. :)

It's interesting to follow the progression of Blakes career. He started off with good, albeit artsy, porn. Then he devolved into decent artsy porn but with a REALLY HEAVY leaning on g/g stuff. After that came some porn, lotsa posing, almost all g/g stuff with one b/g scene tossed into the mix. After that came the all g/g, one hardcore scene, everything else just petting and posing phase. Now what is he doing? All petting and posing on his way to all posing, no contact at all? A couple more flicks and he's going to be doing stuff tamer than a Victoria's Secret TV commercial. Hell, eventually he might do away with the girls entirely like he did away with the b/g scenes and just start filimg clothes and jewelry gyrating to bad music. Blake is a waste of hot-looking women, I'd love to take one of his casts and ship them off to Evil Angel or Anabolic for a couple of days to see what those guys could come up with.

On the OTHER hand....

Some people out there really like Andrew Blake. As one who hasn't seen anything by him for many years (House of Dreams I think was the last one I saw), I'd like to hear from people who still do like him. I'm curious to see what he's been up to. From what I've heard so far I would definitely make sure I got some guy/girl vid to go along with a Blake rental these days, but that still doesn't necessarily tell me that I'm not going to get turned on watching Blake's offering. I've always liked Blake. Has anyone else seen some more recent stuff by him that they liked?

Blake fan here. It's time someone defended this guy, who is routinely lampooned by "raincoaters". Look, some of us are not quite so jaded that we don't find the sight of a beautiful naked woman highly arousing, by itself. Someone doesn't have to be sodomising her, or spraying cum in her face, for us to enjoy the spectacle (not that the vulgar does not have it's place, to quote a friend). What will you guys do when "double anal" is no longer enough? I hate to think! For me, Blake's hypnotic, luxurious dream world is erotic, not pornographic. My advice to MLyons: try "Wet" and "High Heels", but only if you appreciate a truly talented photographer. He really has more in common with Helmut Newton, or perhaps David Hamilton, than porn movies. Bravo Blake! BTW, Blake is quite 'big' in Italy. Italians 'get' his stuff, which should tell you something. Viva Blake, viva sensuality!!

This is timely: I've just ordered those very titles as my first Blake films. I'm curious to see whether they do it for me, as personally I get a bit tired of heavy anal and DPs. Sometimes I find I want the camera to linger longer on cute girls, and follow them strip. Too many titles seem to get straight into the heavy closeup action too quick for my liking.

I guess I'm still looking for my ideal compromise between softcore and Evil Angel! Hopefully Blake's films will be nearer the mark. I'll find out later this week when they arrive

Narcotizedmind,

Thanks for posting!! And thanks for the suggestions! I wonder if XrentDVD carries his stuff. I'll look out for those titles and give one of 'em a whirl. Maybe I'll write a review. There's a lot to be said in defense of Andrew Blake, and the rest of the porn world might do well to learn a thing or two about his understanding of beauty and erotic psychology--even if Blake himself might be a bit soft for my normal tastes.

I like Blake, but I go in streaks on watching him. I'll go months with no Blake, then suddenly I get the urge and spend a week or two watching nothing but Blake. Then back to none.

He is not normal porn by a long shot. It is much closer to art than anything else, but a beautiful female body is very artistic!

My favorite Blake is Les Femmes Erotique , but alas, Studio A has not yet released this one

I like Andrew Blakes stuff for the most part. I have the dvd for Girlfriends which stars the lovely Aria Giovanni and the covergirl for the latest one Justine. I also like the two or three that have featured Kyla Cole.

Another vote for Blake. I enjoy seeing beautiful women. I don't have to see her having sex to appreciate her beauty. I find that he captures desire and sensuality better than anyone else. I have seen gonzo type films and some show raw sexuality pretty well but most lack the cerebral component to take sex to another level. Blake's film take the cerebral route and for the most part omits the raw sex. Although I would like to see someone take Blake's style and merge it with something harder I don't want him to stop what he is doing now. Why not take a gonzo director, which it seems like there is more than enough of, and ask them why they can't inject some sensuality into their stuff?(This question in regard to many people asking why can't Blake add more hardcore to his style to achieve an erotic hardcore film.)

I applaud what Blake does and wish there were others making erotic non-hardcore films. I also wish that there were directors making erotic hardcore films.

While we are on the subject let me say that "Wet" is one of my favorites. Not only filming, editing ... but what I think is the highlight of the film is Dahlia's monologue. Very erotic without sounding like porn-speak(you know when pornstars say fuck and cock and sound like they are reading it off a cuecard.) Does anyone have any suggestions of movies with erotic monologues?

He's a little too soft for me, but it's what he loves to do and I can respect that. I'll also give aybesea an amen - "a beautiful female body is very artistic!" Amen.

The movie does have sexy gals and sexy outfits, but
the action is really on the much softer side.

It does include a nice insert that lists the 20 chapters.

But, it does not have any audio (just background music)
and it did not have a scene with ladies drinking milk
from a saucer.

Side B has Dahlia Grey in a behind the scenes documentary
that is real nice. (Bondage theme).

I am not a big fan of his, so I would say it appears
to be similiar to his other releases.

Just another word in defense of Andrew Blake. He shoots beautiful film! And he has the most amazingly beautiful women in his work...great make-up, hair, locations. Obviously really big budgets too, so someone must be liking his product!


For my taste, I would prefer something with the same artistry, but more heat. I get the feeling the actresses in his films are not really having a good time. Just my impression.

my problem with Andrew Blake is that there is no sex. All of it is playboy style. Simulation, but no action. Anyways, I have been thinking about getting one with Aria Giovanni in it.

I dont think Andrew Blake qualifies as porn!

...and this does not mean I can not get excited by his girls.
Still if I feel like watching porn I want much harder stuff. And I am not afraid to explore what comes after dap. On the contrary I am waiting for that next step in pushing the enveloppe.

But, Blake is fine erotic art. Take this from a raincoater.

I bought the title, after reading this thread. I think it's pretty good "couples"/cable-type "erotic" entertainment. You could watch it with your girlfriend and she'd find something to enjoy about it.

His hardcore flicks were better, but it's certainly a turn-on (I mean, c'mon ... the women are gorgeous, and the fetishy clothes and settings don't hurt either).

However, given that these are total softcore, they should probably retail at less than $20. Despite the slick production values.

i watched this last nite - i must say i was pretty impressed.

i've seen Andrew Blake's stuff before but it never really tickled my fancy (no pun intended) - but for some reason I really enjoyed this - maybe it was just a really good change of pace from the hardcore i look at everyday - either way i'd recommend it if you are one who like to celebrates the female form...

here are some are my favorite images from the film:

Aria Giovanni looking absolutely tempting
Justine 1
Justine 2

The beautiful Elle Williams - look at those eyes! incredible!
Justine 3
Justine 4

Justine (left), and Aria (right), seducing big-breasted Erica Campbell (middle - YUM!
Justine 5

Erica rubbing her giant natural pillows against Aria's equally giant natural pillows
Justine 6

A clear shot of Erica's assests
Justine 7

i was never as turned on watching two women rub their tits together as i was watching these girls - i think i've seen too many fake boobs rubbing that just didn't do it for me - it's all about being natural...

the boob rubbing must be seen in moving pictures - not just stills...

i understand why some people don't go for Andrew Blake's stuff and that's understandable as there is no real hardcore action - hell, i was one of them!

until last night that is....

Well, my first Andrew Blake DVD just arrived yesterday - I got High Heels.

The picture quality is top notch, the girls are v. sexy, and I knew that it wouldn't contain sex, just erotic play. But I was quite disappointed due to one aspect: editing.

It seems that the editing involves taking several scenes that would be fantastic in themselves, chopping them up into 15 second snippets, them pasting them together interleaved. This means the picture doesn't stay long enough on something before changing to another scene - I found this very annoying.

This is one area where screenshots don't provide the whole story - you can't see whether there will be annoying trick editing. I'm finding that Private films do this too much for my liking - usually when Antonio Adamo is involved.

I might see if it grows on me before trying another title. Is "Wet" pretty much the same?

I think all of Blake's use the splicing technique that you are talking about. I like it sometimes but I do wish for longer segments also. I think Blake and some other film makers could do it. But like mainstream films, music videos... the people who make these things don't think the viewing audience's attention span is very long so they do alot of quick cuts. I also think that quick cuts can hide a directors lake of talent in not being able to shoot long scenes.

I rented this title yesterday and I came away with an ok feeling about it. There is some nice kissing folks, Justine definitely likes to lock tongues and she has two nice lip locking sessions with Aria in this title. Howver, there just wasn't enough Aria in this title for me but since it was title Justine I didn't expect to see much Aria. If you want a nice title with both of them I would suggest Girlfriends which has a great scene in a bathroom featuring Aria and Justine. If Andrew Blake would ever film some actual pussy licking from Aria to another female I think I would pop on the spot,lol, but I don't expect that to happen anytime soon. If only RLD would make this beauty an offer she couldn't refuse and get her in their 110 % Natural line!!!

Who's that voluptuous redhead in Justine? Drool :-)

My favorite (and only one I've seen) Andrew Blake film is "Sensual Exposure". It never made it to DVD, unfortunately. It does have sex w/ a bunch of name actors/actresses. Very sexy. Even my wife likes it ;-)
Highly recommended for a rental. I think it's a lot sexier than the "let's stick it into any hole we can find" stuff nowadays, even though I'm a big fan of Private films...
