When this arrived in the mailbox my first thoughts were something along the lines of..."Hmm, a gay flick eh? Sure, I'll review it. :-)

I have to say I really enjoyed this one. The sets were minimalist to the extreme, the props pathetic and the acting not worth mentioning but WoW, the sex made it all O.K.

The Run Down

-Return to the Hotel by Vivid Man
-100% Gay, man on man action. Some toys, some fetishes, all hot and real.
-5 scenes

Heat-10
Acting-2
Looks-8
Raincoat factor-10

"David Thompson Returns To The Place Where It All Began.

Return to the Hotel for a night with Michael Crawford, Will CLark, Vince Bandero, Thom Southern, Peter Wilder, David Pierre, Jordan Austin, Brad Davis, and Director David Thompson along with Alex Nixx as the mistress of the hotel. Taking Showers. Eating. Sleeping. And after sex, tossed aside for the next boytoy. Which is the mystery of the Hotel. Nothing is as it seems and everyone is expendable. Kind of like life, perhaps..."

What I Liked

-Hot Hot Hot! Hetro pornographers, get out the pad and paper, Vivid Man's got some schoolen' for you! No fake kissing here, nope this was full of suck your face off real and passionate kissing, foreplay, and OMG the actors actually look like their into what they're doing!

-And everybody get's to cum! I was so refreshed by the idea that both (or all 3) partners get to have orgasms.

-Yes raincoats were used but it didn't kill anything. It was subtle and really didn't get in the way. We still get the penetration and the all important pop shot.

-The variety. From scene to scene we explore different positions and playthings. (see the sidebar for some examples)

What I Didn't Like

-The acting was beyond pathetic. I guess the idea of "we pay them to look pretty" still reigns prevalent in the porn industry. I am still of the opinion that acting lessons would be a wise investment.

-Minor detail. At the very end of scene 1 when their supposed to be a hotel you can hear the neighbors dog barking. Whoops! The scene was pretty hot so they must have decided not to scrap the whole thing because of a minor faux pas like that. Can't say I blame them, the pop shot had already come and that's so much effort to reproduce...eh. what can you do.

Extras

This was not your standard extras menu but I love it! This was really taken to a new level with just a few creative touches.

The Special Features Include:

-Fetish Rooms
These allow you to choose the specific positions you enjoy watching minus any annoying dialogue. Great idea!

-Bonus Rooms
This is another fabulous idea. Mini featurettes from other Vivid Man DVD's. (!muy caliente!)

-More Fetish Fun
Just in case you didn't get enough. Two more position specific scenes minus dialogue.

-Photo Gallery
Not just the standard stills. Oh no, these are jazzed up with automatic pan and zoom close ups.

-An not listed on the menu. There are some fun outtakes at the end of the DVD.

I Would Recommend this DVD to

-Anyone looking for some hot M/M action.

-Anyone looking for something that stretches the boundaries of vanilla sex.

-An even, anyone (hetro or gay) who's looking for some "real" sex in their porn. As in, no fake, are we done yet, where's the towel crap.

My Overall Impression

Whoo hoo, someone at Vivid Men has a fricken clue. I can only imagine what this crew could do with a real budget. There were fun little creative geniuses behind every corner here, great job guys/gals.
