Pick of The Week
Our choices for the best videos and new releases
May 2009 April 2009 March 2009
Week of March 29-April 4, 2009 Week of March 22-28, 2009
Because of several circumstances (check the Jack Manly blog for further info) this is is unofficially "Leo Giamani Week" and our pick of the week is the Leo Giamani-Roman Heart scene from the upcoming Falcon flick Burning Desires. As of this writing the whole movie is yet to be released although it is available for viewing now in a streaming format at Falcon XXX. The Leo-Roman scene now came out this week on the Falcon "Pick a Scene" page and so we chose it as this week's top pick.
Burning Desires it looks like a plot-free movie with a series of sexual vignettes that share an ambiance of sensuality and romanticism. At least that's the impression we got from watching Roman Heart & Leo Giamani together. Plus it's also a dialog-free scene which allows the viewer to create their own scenario. In a luxurious bathroom (in a hotel?) complete with a big tub, vases with flowers, a chandelier and heavy drapery, Roman Heart prepares for his anticipated love-making session by creating a bubble bath and pouring out the champagne as what can only be called "fuck music" plays in the background. After luxuriating in the suds for a bit Leo Giamani enters and the two take it from there.

First of all both guys look great and look great together. When Roman Heart looks up with his cute face and hungry eyes at Leo Giamani you get the impression there's not much acting going on. There's kissing at first which Roman is particularly good at and he pushes Leo to reciprocate a bit more than he's used to. They trade bj's and we get to see what we've come to perceive as one of Leo's trademarks--when his scene partner pushes the right buttons he throws back his head, arches his back and opens his mouth wide as though it's never felt so good before. After drying each other off the two head to the bedroom where they get down to the main event. Roman practically devours Leo and it looks like he's priming him for getting topped. Of course, Roman's the one who gets screwed in a variety of positions before a pretty juicy climax.
Our runner up is the newest Randy Blue release featuring Leo Giamani, Reese Rideout,& Vincent DeSalvo. Actually this one almost became our pick of the week but since Randy Blue got that honor last we figured it might be nice to mix it up a bit. The new video is a role play fantasy where Reese is the bartender everyone wants to take home (okay--not a stretch). Leo & Vincent do just that and Vincent winds up being the the filing in a Leo-Reese sandwich. Pretty hot stuff.

------------------------------
Our picks of the week include a few additional non-video recommendations. Our first video pick of the week is the latest from Randy Blue featuring two of our favorites--- Trent Davis & Jeremy Walker. We've been waiting for these two to get together for awhile now. Super-sexy Trent has been mentioned umpteen times here so you had to figure that a new video featuring him would get mentioned. We also checked at the Randy Blue blog and see that he's got several videos coming up which really has us delighted. The guy is just a dreamboat. Jeremy Walker is prime eye candy and has noticeably loosened up in his recent videos. If he hadn't we're sure Trent would have worked his magic. The two guys do some heavy duty kissing and sucking before getting down to the hard stuff --which is Jeremy topping Trent. Trent is a real natural in front of the camera and knows how to work it well. We have to give points to Jeremy Walker for effort because although he still looks like he isn't comfortable with kissing he at least gets verbal and more natural in his "performing".

It's interesting to see two newcomers from 2008 finally getting together -- and getting the publicity push from Randy Blue. Trent appeared in January's Freshmen magazine, while Jeremy is in the current Men Magazine. Both guys are real draws (at least they are for us) but Randy Blue really needs to make sure that they keep Trent Davis around for a long time.
Our second pick of the week is a teaming of Trey & Kurt at Sean Cody . Trey simply gets more attractive with every video that Sean Cody shows. We're not just talking hot muscular body and handsome face--he's got that natural on-camera charm that is irreplaceable. We know that it's a rarity if a model stays on for a very long time at Sean Cody but we'd love Trey to be the exception. Kurt is a hot surprise here too with his slightly cocky style--he slaps Trey's bubble butt and seems to show a good gift for the oral. He's also a grower and he puts it to good use while topping the very vocal Trey--the two guys get into a variety of positions too. This video does get a little loud so be careful with the sound. There's also a second "behind the scenes" video which shows that Trey charm---and that of Kurt. We did notice that although this is being shown after Trey's scene with Jason it looks like it was filmed before. In the BTS video we caught a glimpse of the old bedroom set which has been replaced and seemingly made its debut in the Trey-Jason video.
Even though it's been up for almost a week we also want to give mention to the TwoFourTwo at Frat Men. This video features TWO sets of identical twins playing together. The brothers don't fool around with each other and there's really only some showering together horseplay between the four guys, but it's all very sexy. There's also a palpable sexual tension because one of the twins is gay.
We'd also like to pint out two other videos this week featuring a couple of Euro-studs appearing in unlikely places. Arpad Miklos is in a new video at Jake Cruise getting a full-service massage from the site owner. Miklos is unquestionable one of the most masculine and sexy men in porn and he's pretty much a take charge performer (even while maintaining a softer sensuality). So seeing him here lying back and getting serviced is a change of pace. The other video is the debut of Christian Alexander on Men At Play. This is "audition" video but it's not the first time we've seen this stud. He's also done fitness modeling and artistic-style nudes and videos as Alex Westfalen. This handsome German stud with an incredible body hasn't done anything explicit as far as we know---until now.
Finally, as we mentioned our other picks of the week are non-video but do deserve a mention:
--Class Comics. Our favorite erotic comics publisher has gone digital and is offering some of its super hot comics for fans to download. It's a great move and saves lots of time and effort to get the works of Patrick Fillion and others into the hands of fans.
-- Diesel Washington's blog. This blog isn't for everyone but then again we could say that about ANY blog. But we love Washington's outspoken style and the blog (titled "Crimes Against Nature") is often lots of fun as well as newsworthy.

Week of March 15-21, 2009
We chose our picks of the week from a sea of high quality videos that were released this week. At Rock Hard Jocks, the post-Falcon career of Matthew Rush took another turn with a very hot team-up with sexy Rod Daily. Cocksure Men presented another orgy scene with the same cast of characters as that were featured in the site's debut video---include porn wunderkind Leo Giamani.

A little while ago Male Perfection provided a nice tease of this week's Rock Hard Jocks video featuring Matthew Rush & Rod Daily and the end result is damn sexy. The video is shot from a lot of interesting angles and in such a way as to feel very spontaneous. When the two go at it with each other the chemistry seems very real and you get the feeling that if the director had said "cut" they wouldn't have stopped. Rush & Daily even throw in some flourishes like an acrobatic position where Daily can give himself a face full. And what would a Matthew Rush video be without his signature orgasmic intensity? Once again we're struck by the fresh quality in Rush's videos since he left Falcon. Perhaps the departure was justifiably liberating.

Over at Cocksure Men, we get another role play fantasy that parent site Jake Cruise doesn't do. This one is called KOK Car Wash and as we mentioned features the same cast as Summer Orgy--Pat Bateman, Shawn Hunter, Jeremy Bilding, Park Wiley, Jake Wolfe, Ryan Buckley, and Leo Giamani. The earlier video at Cocksure Men had no discernible plot while this one features some of the guys putting together a makeshift car wash and getting it on with their clients. It's not that far removed from those vintage porn plots such as those with a pizza delivery guy who winds up getting it on with a his clients. Obviously this is a bit more complex given the amount of hot guys involved here. All are very sexy but realistically the main draw here is Leo Giamani. We're not sure how many more appearances he put in here and at Jake Cruise (same with Jeremy Bilding) but Jake sure got his money's worth. There are many things to "appreciate" about Leo Giamani in all his videos, but in this video we love the way his chest muscles tense and bulge when he's ready to shoot. It's worth watching again and again.

We should also mention the other contenders for our picks of the week. They may not have been as eventful or pivotal as the choices above but they certainly didn't lack some punch. At Sean Cody, one of the site's most interesting finds has been Shane. He's openly gay, mostly a top and has wanted to do porn for years (he's only 19!) This week we finally got to see him in a bottom role, serviced quite nicely by one of our faves Mitch. Furthermore, this top/bottom video benefits from a Shane's very noticeable pleasure. Speaking of flipping, Kurt Wild makes the scene at Jake Cruise for the first time and switches it up big time! He's pretty much got the reputation as an uber-bottom but here he takes the top role (and very naturally) with Jake Cruise himself. Kurt Wild also shows a more playful side here which we don't get to see from him often enough. Eventually he flips again and manges to get off THREE times. Chaos Men paired up fan favorite Teo with Zane in a hot flip-flop this week. Interesting that in spite of his cute, muscle-boy next door looks Zane is looking more edgy with two pierced nipples. Finally there's Tommy D. He recently bottomed for the first time in years and didn't wait as long for the next time. This week Tommy presents sexy newcomer Jake Woods and initiates him into the Next Door Studios fold by bottoming for him---what a welcome wagon!

Week of March 8-14, 2009
Our pick of the week this time around is the latest video from Randy Blue featuring the well-chosen team-up of Leo Giamani & Blake Riley. According to the Randy Blue press info that accompanied this week's Leo Giamani-Blake Riley video, Blake had been after Randy to do a scene with Leo (gee we wonder why!) and so the wheels were set in motion. Apparently when word got out that this scene had been filmed it was THE topic of conversation and comments at the Randy Blue chat room and blog. That's what happens when you get a popular power bottom and a hung top (mostly) brought together.

Video Preview & Gallery
The end result is the kind of video we like to see--hot, passionate, and genuinely sexy. Blake Riley is visibly eager to get started and Leo is almost sheepishly embarrassed to be the object of such obvious desire and compliments from the cameraman. Blake is immediately aggressive as though he's prodding Leo to reciprocate--which he does.. The cameraman has the easiest job in finding angles that showing off Leo Giamani's well sculpted body and there's plenty to see. By the way, we like that Leo has a signature move that he uses very well. He often throws his head back when he's getting head or topping another guy that tells you he's getting maximum "enjoyment". Yes, a definite winner.

Also check out Red Light just released from Falcon/Mustang. AND..Leo has also done a couple of recent appearances at Falcon Str8 Men topping Beaux and Rusty Stevens (again) but there's an upcoming video here that has us VERY excited. In this one Leo bottoms for one of our current faves---Ty Colt!
Honorable mention this week is "Worship Preview" from Male Perfection and "Suits Off" from Cocksure Men. "Worship" is a very pleasant surprise---a new appearance by Matthew Rush! He and Rod Daily have a mutual muscle worship session that will lead to the main event video at Rock Hard Jocks. Even though it's tamer the video at Male Perfection is a genuine turn-on.

Meanwhile at Cocksure Men we get more of another favorites David Taylor in with Ashland Reker. It's a role-play video about two businessmen in suits (boyfriends?) who apparently had a hard day at the office and have a "hard" evening releasing the day's tension. Handsome & well-built David Taylor has actually increased his appeal with some recent statements. He originally identified himself as straight, which would make him "gay for pay" (although he didn't really use the term). But now, after being in the biz, he admits that he thinks of himself a bisexual. Yay! It makes us really look forward to seeing him with Vince Ferelli in Screwed for Jet Set Men.

Week of March 1-7, 2009
We have three picks this week to inaugurate our new feature here at Jack Manly. ENJOY!
Next Door Buddies: Alex Tyler, Christian Wilde, Shane Erickson, & Spencer Reed. We already mentioned that Next Door Studios had started casting a few "stars" at their site and this video was a great example. Normally we don't go for orgy style videos because they have a tendency to be less intimate, but this video was more a two-couple scenario. Had it simply featured Alexy & Christian we'd have been fine with it--together they've got some real chemistry. Of course if you've got the very hot Alexy Tyler in your video there's always going to be chemistry and he makes a very nice party favor. His hair is longer now and his body looks awesome and even though he's considerably shorter than super-tall Shane Erickson they "hit it off" too. This is the kind of video that makes you want to see more of these guys with some of the other site's regulars. Check out the video previews and the gallery.
Matthew Rush debuts at Manifest Men Trey returns to Sean Cody
Christian & Alexy

Alexy Tyler & Shane Erickson Matthew Rush in action
Manifest Men: Matthew Rush--Studio 1010. This one was shown live as it was being filmed almost two weeks ago but seeing it edited and from the point of view of videographer Adam Killian it really is like seeing it for the first time. Manifest Men tried something different with this one, leaving out background music and leaving in Adam's verbal direction. Killian's voice is very sensual and motivating and Matthew Rush responds in kind. We're a sucker for muscle flexing and it's not something we saw much of when Rush was doing adult flicks--but it seems to turn him on too. Even though the site bills this video as featuring "a new Matthew Rush" we do get to see the traits that made Rush popular---his on-camera charisma and his signature verbal orgasms" Once again we have to say that going freelance was the best move for one of our favorite stars.

Sean Cody: Trey & Jason. Trey made our list of top newcomers for 2008 and this video shows why. As eye candy goes this young guy is a 10+---well-built and impossibly handsome. As he's gotten more at ease in front of the camera he's turned into a real star for the site. Kinda cocky & bratty but he's a charmer. He's paired here with good-natured Jason (formerly known as Gavin at Frat Men) and the two really hit it off. They get into some serious kissing (one of the things we like about Sean Cody) and both flip for each other. There's something else that's very hot here and that's the direction. It seems like Sean Cody has a new cameraman/director who gives this video a whole different look. The angles are less static and there are some delicious close-ups. Also released with this scene was a behind-the scenes video that may not have the sexual punch, but sure is fun.
