"SeXus" marks the fiftieth video directed by Chris Ward, and it is a shining example of why he is one of the greats. Yes, he's right up there with Chi Chi LaRue, Kristen Bjorn, Bruce Cam, John Rutherford, Joe Gage, George Duroy and William Higgins. And, like his peers, he has developed his own style as well as the ability to get first-class performances out of veterans and newcomers alike. What is more, like all great pornographers, he never loses sight of what great porn is all about -- getting you off. Period. And, as with most Chris Ward productions, this one is straightforward (no dialogue, spartan set), has a sexy score, "Sinfonia X," by J.D. Slater [ http://JDSlater.com ], and superb productions values overall. And -- oh yeah! -- a small but potent cast. All of the players look exceptional physically, particularly Tom Vacarro who has put on some muscle (and, of course, that famous dick is still in full effect), and, as always, Peter, Lance, Luke and Sky are buffed and tanned to perfection.
We begin with a bearded Lance Gear and bootylicious Peter Raeg groping and kissing on a big black bed in the middle of a big black soundstage with decorative geometric shapes in the background (the set that is used throughout). Peter then blows Lance, Lance rims Peter and they exchange a rugged flip-flop, doggy-style. They are hot for each other from start to finish and both have nice, hard dicks and perfect bubble-butts. Enough said.
Next up, and I do mean "up," is Tom Vacarro's big dick. His cock literally fills the screen with the length and width that is his penis. It's a beauty. Long, thick, veiny, and it seems as though muscle daddy Luke Bronson is completely in awe. And who wouldn't be? He lovingly blows the throbbing cock for all it's worth, stretching his goateed mouth to get as much as he possibly can into his jaws. Trust me, this is a wonderfully captured sequence. Peter and Lance join in, and all three men take turns slobbering all over lucky Tom. Tom then slams a missionary-fuck into Peter -- deep-dicking the furry cheeks with love and happiness. Eventually, Luke, Peter and Lance surround Tom and cover his chest, neck and shoulder with their spunk.
Tom and Sky are featured next and they are already in the throes of a greedy 69 as the camera moves in close. Tom deep-throating Sky's rock-hard meat with ease and Sky struggling (as Luke did earlier) to get as much of Mr. Vacarro in his mouth as is humanly possible. He succeeds quite nicely, thank you very much, and Tom shows his gratitude for a job well done by spreading Sky's smooth buttcheeks apart for a full-tongue rimming. Sky, of course, coos in ecstasy with each lash of the tongue. Tom then fucks Sky every which way but loose. Hrmmp!
And now for the big group finale. On his back, Lance is being fed cock from above by Tom and Peter as Luke rims his hole down below. Peter then rims Lance. Lance sucks Luke and Tom. Luke sucks Peter. Peter sucks Sky. Lance sucks Peter as Tom rims Lance. Lots of kissing all around. Tom doggy-fucks Lance as Lance sucks Peter. Peter missionary-fucks Sky. Tom missionary-fucks Sky. They all gather ‘round and dump their loads on Sky. The end.
"SeXus" is a perfect example of why Chris Ward, in a few short years, has become one of the best in the business. Let's hope he makes fifty more this good.
(NOTE: There is also a Michael Brandon cum-shot bonus compilation at the end of the tape, and as a special chapter on the DVD version. Cum-shots from various Michael Brandon scenes edited into one big cum-a-thon.)
The DVD version also includes an easy-to-navigate menu (with a generous breakdown of chapters, as well as English, Spanish, French and German versions of the menu), the uninterrupted and uncut version of J.D. Slater’s "Sinfonia X" music score in a stand-alone chapter (broken down into three movements: "SeXus," "NeXus" and "PleXus"), Dolby stereo, and no regional coding (playable worldwide).
A DVD Review by Butch Harris
Almost like a story in those super-hero comic books, mild-mannered accountant Chris Ward directs and appears in a video fetish flick called The Hole Punch, (GMC, Issue #6 - February 11, 1999). Flash forward to June 2002, and Ward brings us a 90 minute fuckfest celebrating his 50th video.
You can see Ward's work with many different companies over the past few years, but this one features the "Sex-a-Scope" technique of his own Raging Stallion Studios and a complete musical score, J.D. Slater's "Sinfonia X," which provides the backdrop for this dialog-free sexathon.
Ward not only knows how to party, he knows the mix of guests is also important. A bearded Lance Gear and equally sexy Peter Raeg start out the show as a duo, including a one-on-one pounding of Raeg's hole by buff and furry Gear and then an equally rough ride of Gear's hot cross buns by Raeg.
The action and music never stop, as the scenes just flow seamlessly into each other. The editing is so slick, in fact, it takes a minute to realize that Gear and Raeg have gone and that it's Tom Vacarro's 8.5 inch bone filling cock pig Luke Bronson's hungry mouth. The camera catches Vacarro's glorious girth to its full extent. It gets even hotter when Raeg and Gear wander back in for the fun, each getting a chance to gobble on Vacarro's veiny knob. Raeg must have drawn the long straw, as his furry crack gets a missionary plugging full-throttle from Vacarro. Vacarro gets a spunk shower from the others as they each pop onto his furry pelt.
As Vacarro stews in the juices of the others, Sky Donovan wanders in for a crack at Vacarro's meat pole. Blond and lean Donovan sports a rather delicious hint of a goatee here, which looks absolutely delightful as it grazes up and down Vacarro's slick shaft. Donovan has a firm round ass, which Vacarro splits with his tongue and then makes it do a bone dance in multiple positions. Donovan's hole and Vacarro's cock and balls literally fill the screen at times. Having Donovan keep his crisp white crew socks on is downright sexy. After a little manual override produces a thick white coating for Donovan's rippled abs, Donovan and Vacarro fall into a sleepy embrace.
All five men return for the final group scene, with Gear lapping up cocksicles from Vacarro and Raeg. Bronson and Raeg both take turns slurping up Gear's hole like hungry little puppies. There's lots of action, with everyone sucking and kissing each other. In what is sure to be an award-nominated scene, Vacarro porks Gear, Raeg slams Donovan and, finally, Vacarro throttles Donovan - who, in turn, acts as a human cum rag for the group to finish out the video.
Although he doesn't appear in this video, both the DVD and the VHS contain a "Michael Brandon cum-shot sequence" as a bonus.
Oh, by the way, Ward is still an accountant. "You know what they say about accountants," he jokes on his website, www.powerfist.com. Well, I don't know what they say, but if the next 50 videos are as hot as the first, I look forward to finding out.
