In 2005, the acclaimed "Arabesque" showed that director Chris Ward had a breadth of talent that had not previously been evidenced; although he had certainly done exceptionally good work before, he had never attempted anything quite so ambitious, and he succeeded brilliantly. "Bedroom Eyes" is less ornamented than "Arabesque" (in terms of costume and setting), and here Ward trusts his international cast enough to put the focus squarely on them. They rise to the occasion with performances that are fiercely intense, so much so that you can barely tear your eyes away from the screen.
Each of the discrete scenes is given a title of a classic Hollywood film that is thematically related. There are two full discs of action (the second disc in this set is not filled with extras that are sometimes worth it, sometimes not). This is in fact two productions in one, and it's a sensational double-feature.
In the first scene, "An American in Paris," Raging Stallion's favorite Frenchman François Sagat gives American hunk Kyle Lewis a thrilling taste of man sex à la Parisienne. While others may seek out street vendors and haute couture boutiques while in Paris, Kyle opts instead to suck Francois' thick cock and taste his delectable-looking asshole. Early volleys of cum fly after the oral part of the scene, and Kyle has yet another tasting at the end, a dollop of his own cream that has splatted on Francois' chest. The superb foreplay leads to a round of versatile fucking between the two studs, and the careful camerawork gives us close-up views, long-range views, and above-the-action views that are all superb. François looks particularly toothsome as he lies on his back and jerks his cock while Kyle fucks him missionary, Francois' fat, heavy balls bouncing with each stroke. Throughout the scene, there's no doubt that these two studs are totally into the action, and the final pair of cum-shots are as impressive as the first, and the scene ends with a very hot kiss after the spunk has flown.
Next we're taken halfway around the world, to a balcony in San Francisco where gorgeous Matt Cole is getting very friendly with Latino stud Anthony Martinez. The two move inside to continue (to a bed, of all places!), where Anthony gives Matt a riveting, hungry tongue-fuck, and Matt's ass is further teased by Anthony's close-cropped beard, which scrubs against his cheeks every time Anthony dives in again. Unexpectedly, when the fucking begins, it's Matt who's on top, slowly and insistently thrusting into Anthony. Then, the flip-flop is on, and its Anthony who's fucking Matt, reaming out Matt's hole with his fat, uncut cock. The views of Matt's open, lubed hole when Anthony pulls all the way, near the end of this sweaty, doggy-style fuck, are awesome, and Anthony's dirty-talk is an asset throughout the sequence. Anthony ends this high-energy topping act with a blast of jism that creams Matt's asscheek. But Matt does not blow a load, and he's left alone, naked, in bed.
Don't feel sorry for the big stud, though, because apparently this particular apartment comes with hot and cold running men -- well, mostly just hot (and a clue to its title, "Double Indemnity"). As Matt rolls around naked and suggestively on the bed (he couldn't do it any other way, actually), a pair of hands reaches into the shot, parting Matt's sumptuous asscheeks, baring his irresistible hole. As the camera backs away, we get a full-on view of Matt's new playmate, buff, hairy, and handsome German Dirk Jager. Dirk is a Teutonic stunner. With his taut, cut-up body, and his chiseled face, framed by a close-cropped beard, Dirk is bound to make hearts flutter, but his looks are only part of the very attractive package. In this scene, Dirk works Matt over expertly, from fingering his ass to a slurpy, wet blowjob, and finally a slamming fuck that has Matt obviously impressed by Dirk's skills, making guttural moans of pleasure until the scene reaches its high point, two near-simultaneous cum-shots which land on Matt at the end.
The last scene on the first disc, "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," (appropriately named, but it would kill the humor to explain it) features a trio of hot men, Rafael Alencar, Marcos Pirelli and Italian Alex Corsi, who makes a splashy debut, as a bottom for the other two studs. Alex's perfectly furry chest and stomach are wonderful, but they are far from his only assets. He's a hungry cocksucker, trying to fit both Rafael and Marcos into his mouth at once, and when the three line up for a trio of seated pop-shots, he kisses Rafael as hungrily as he has sucked his cock. The best part of the scene, though, is what follows, Alex doing the spit roast thing with Rafael and Marcos, getting fucked by one while he sucks the other, and the unbelievably erotic view of Rafael's perfect cock pulling all the way out and then plunging balls-deep within Alex's full, furry asscheeks, shot from below, is like a little bit of heaven on Earth. Just before the scene ends, Rafael fucks Alex missionary, the angle tight in on the penetration of Alex's accommodating pucker. Rafael pulls out and erupts, his cream landing very close to Alex's hole. Marcos and Alex deliver the goods soon after, ending this erotically-charged three-way.
With their taut bodies and multiple tattoos, the stars of the first scene of the second disc, Tamas Eszterhazy and Martin Mazza, conjure images of a pair of mermen who are frolicking in a hot tub under cover of night. "The Poseidon Adventure" (so much better than the remake of the big screen movie!), has Martin and Tamas so at home sucking and fucking in the water that you halfway expect them to sprout gills. Tamas bends over the edge of the tub and Martin eats his hairless hole, backing away occasionally so that the camera can show it winking flirtily at us. Martin doesn't do all that prep work for nothing, moving the scene ahead by slamming Tamas with his hard meat. The steam rises off the water, creating even an even moodier setting as the pair fucks in the missionary position. There's no mistaking the pleasure these ethereal lovers feel as the scene drives to its conclusion, with Martin drenching Tamas' hairy crotch with his load and Tamas' big, ropy streams of cream that follow. As the scene fades, bluish, romantic moonlight tints one last kiss between them.
Tag Adams gets a nice welcome home in "Dinner at Eight," a raucous session with Dirk Jager set in kitchen. As he proved in the scene with Matt, Dirk is a masterful top, and pairing him with Tag (who's a masterful bottom) makes sparks fly. Tag chews on Dirk's defined pecs, eventually making his way to the big prize, Dirk's big, uncut cock. Tag chokes on it, but he determinedly takes it all in as Dirk fucks his face hard. Dirk doesn't let up on Tag's ass either, pounding it as tag bends over and begs for more. This sizzling duo scene also includes a hard-driving missionary fuck in which Dirk spreads Tag's legs wide with his hands and drives deep and unrelentingly into his ass. Beautiful cum-shots ends the scene, with Dirk creaming Tag's face and with Dirk's load still dripping off his cheeks, Tag's cock unleashing big globs of jism that stream over his fist and cock shaft.
The final suite of scenes, "The Wild Bunch," is woven together creatively. A foursome, Brendan Austen, Martin Mazza, Dean Monroe and Derrick Hanson bask in the sun in Napa valley, and then pair off for duo scenes. Dean and Derrick deliver a quick and dirty fuck, Derrick warming up Dean with a rimjob that leads to Dean getting taking it from behind. All the while, Dean's mewling cries add to the heat. The scene ends with Derrick creaming Dean's ass. Artful shots of Martin's cock, balls and ass provide much oral fun for Brendan, who follows up his expert sucking and licking by fucking Martin missionary, lit by brilliant sunshine (so much so that the scene starts out with the two wearing sunglasses, allowing for some artful action angles using their reflections). Brendan pulls out and cums on Martin's lower belly and crotch.
Arousing as those two duos are, they're only the beginning. The four studs reunite for an orgy, and as Martin bottoms for the other three, they are observed by Tamas, who wanders up at the perfect time. As the four-way orgy rages on, Tamas pulls out his cock and rubs it. Spying on them as the four studs fuck and produce even more cum-shots, Tamas unloads one of his own, and the extreme angle shows him stoking it out from underneath. He is caught in the act by the dudes, and lucky for him, their sexual energy is not yet all spent.
Another orgy ensues, beginning with Tamas on the receiving end of Brendan's cock while Derrick fucks Tamas' throat. Tamas eats ass, is fucked, sucked, and otherwise sexually explored by the group until the day in the sun is through, his sweaty, hot torso covered in cum, his own load fucked out of him by Derrick.
A finale this dazzling is not an easy feat to achieve in a production that offers one outstanding scene after another, but here it's done with such finesse that you may be left "Breathless."
Feel free to use that one in "Bedroom Eyes 2," Mr. Ward.
