i've recently discovered Andrew Blake and saw the shows Girlfriends and Exhibitionists. i thought they were great. Since then, I've been eyeing the Villa and High Heels. but girlfriends and exhibitionists were so good i find it hard to believe it can get much better or that there are others that are even as good. did the Villa and High Heels leave favorable impressions on you? I was also curious as to if other people even liked girlfriends and exhibitionists like i do.
Blake is truly unique. i find it interesting to run his shows while i'm doing things around the house and every now and then walk by the TV and see what's going on. sometimes, eerie images strike me as strange. other times, just plain erotic and sexy. His shows are kewl.
Yeah I've seen Exhibitionists, The Villa and High Heels. All good stuff. I rented the first two to see Kyla Cole in action, and the last one for Kelly Havel.
Out of the 3 I'd say The Villa is the best. Not enough gynecological shots of Kyla's pussy, but enough to tease. She fingers herself, other girls and there's plenty of long, lingering shots of her beautiful legs. As far as High Heels goes, its more of the same just with Kelly Havel. Both worth the rent since neither one of them did that many videos and they're both so damn blazin.'
I really like how Blake designs his discs--using photos to mark the chapters and having featurettes. He's really become one of my fav directors. And i enjoy how he uses longer shots (everything is not so close up).
I wish more porn was in widescreen. oh well, at least Blake's stuff is :0)
I was surprised to hear omen that you like villa better than Exhibitionists. Although I haven't seen Villa, Exhibitionists was so good. pretty kewl stuff.
I liked High Heels , but then, I think Kelly Havel is gorgeous. In Girlfriends his style is more developed. His earlier videos tended to focus more on one woman, with the others added for flavor. While you may not enjoy them as much as the ones you like so much, I don't see any reason why you wouldn't like any Blake video, since he has the same style in each.
For me the both of them belong to a different period of Blake's work, so they are a bit hard to compare. This is not only meant date-wise also content-wise: High Heels can be more compared to movies like Playthings or Aroused . Dahlia Grey is the predominant girl, most of the action is shot indoors, compared to some of his scenes today(I just saw <iFlirts </i ) darker, there's more black...
The Villa is centered around that old Villa in Frascati, Lazio, Italy. Quite a few outdoor scenes and a different cast. Kyla Cole, first appearance by Nika,...
Also check the reviews. Btw, interesting interview of AB here. Any other?
I agree, but it's a bit confusing when the scenes are intercut.
hey thx for your comments. i hadn't realized that. the villa for example is shot out doors more. Like exhibitionists was mostly indoors and girlfriends was almost all indoors. So that would creat a different feel to the show.
secluded Observer: you mentioned different periods of work. Would I be correct to say that the Villa is in the same period as Exhibitionists and Girlfriends (concerning "content-wise")?
I find it's a bit difficult to classify The Villa , the same slightly applies to Justine . I see a more direct line from Girlfriends and Adriana to his current work. Unfortunately I can't judge Exhibitionists because it's the only later AB movie that I haven't watched. I think it was during this that the distribution of AB movies changed over here.
I also reflected if I was right to call it "Blake's periods" because those who know his older movies might find real and bigger periods in his work.
Finally, these are just my impressions. Maybe Saki, who reviewed many Blake movies (see his site), could add his view?
I'm thinking of buying FLIRTS. As you have seen it could you provide some more details. I really enjoyed HARD EDGE, is it as good as that? Is ther much action between the ladies?
Thanks for that advice. Would you say that the content of Flirts is as hot as in Hard Edge? Aside from Hard Edge Blake's recent movies (since say Decadence)have tended to be on the soft side. I am particularly interested to know of there is any oral between the ladies. So often Blake sets up the most stylish scenarios and then fails to provide any pay off.
Sorry, I didn't yet find the time to re-watch it (and reply to your specific "oral" question). And also, I wish there would be a chance to somehow discuss this with a representative of Studio A. I wrote them about this but they don't generally seem to be interested in communication.
I was fastforwarded through the movie and have to say that there isn't that much oral in it. Adrianna Sage gets some and her and Dahlia Grey get quite oral in one scene.
