At Large
"At Large" is a behind-the-bars prison-themed flick that delivers plenty of jailhouse cock and was inspired by and is a spoof of the wildly popular homoerotic HBO drama "Oz" [ http://HBO.com/oz ]. But Jiswell, the fictional corrections facility in which this flick is set, takes us places only the Oswald State Penitentiary of "Oz" can suggest.
It seems as though the corrections officers behind these bars are treating the boys a little roughly and the inmates are now planning on getting some revenge.
In the first sequence, uniformed Matt Bradshaw has his way with Steve O'Donnell. It's rough stuff - Matt making the boy gag on his snake. "I'm tired of being your bitch," says Steve as he takes Matt's stiff one in his throat. Steve's whining only makes Matt more aggressive in his face thrusts. He shoves Steve's mug in his ass for some licking. "Do you ever use soap? I have an extra bar if you need it," Steve complains as he tongues out the hole. The angry Matt plops the boy on the table and rides his butt in a prolonged scene.
Chiseled newcomer Brady Martin (of photographer Lorenzo Gomez fame), who is trying to find out about the breakout, is also tormenting Patrick Allen. Allen won't give him any answers, though, and Brady literally slips his big cock in Patrick's mouth. Brady has a muscular body and a nice thick pole. Newly-gruff Scott Davis watches from the next cell and jacks off. Eventually, Brady asks him to join and they both let Patrick give his jaw some exercise. Patrick is one of the most reliable cocksuckers in the business and he effortlessly chews on Davis and Martin, both of whom are well-endowed. They both shoot, with Davis spewing all over his face.
Cellmates Damian Ford and Jon Galt are scheduled to be involved in the breakout, but decide to forego it so they can be paroled and freed shortly. They jump on each other and express their feelings, making a beeline for each other's naked bods. This is a great, impassioned scene of give and take. Each man is muscular and hairy and they spend time pleasing each other. Both take each other's dick in their mouth, especially Ford who deep-throats his partner, taking Jon's luscious tool. They also enjoy some mutual ass-eating. Jon bends himself forward on the bed and lets Damian give him a faux-fuck before Ford slips on a condom and gives him the real prize. Galt is insatiable and soon has a comfortable seat atop Ford in a well-lensed shot. Amazingly, after Jon has ridden Ford, they trade places. Jon lines up behind Ford and hammers into Damian. (Reportedly, this was an impromptu moment on the set due to the chemistry between the two performers.) Damian is clearly into having his butt invaded, his back arched as he moans. After he has gotten his ass screwed, he drives into Jon again, missionary-style, until Jon squirts his load.
Later that night, badass Steve Cassidy is giving lip to some of the inmates when they follow through on their breakout plans. Steve O'Donnell, Brady Martin, Scott Davis, David Nelson and Marc West attack Cassidy and violently rape him. They rip off his uniform and tie him spread-eagle on a desk. This is a quite realistic rape scene, with Steve squirming and resisting, his butch and buff body unable to break free. It's lithe O'Donnell who gives the officer a billy club up his tight ass, though - and then the real thing. The other four stand around and cheer him on, and ultimately force their own cocks in the mouth of Cassidy. Then Dave Nelson and Brady Martin fuck Cassidy before each man gets some oral attention, and then the five line up and cum all over Steve's face. It's a messy collection of loads splashed all over the officer.
The action in "At Large" is very tradey and rough, and the Ford-Galt flip-flop is easily one of the best match-ups of the year. There is also a bit of comic relief provided by a couple of rough-around-the-edges drag queens - Lasagna Buttafucco (a former Miss New Jersey who has, frankly, seen better days) and Rachel, Hollywood Hopeful (a tragic crack whore). As is usual for MSR, the production values are way above average and the action raunchy. Would-be "penile system" criminals will certainly enjoy their time in the lock-up that is "At Large."

Don't Ask, Don't Tell!
Nominated for a plethora of 2000 gay porn awards, "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" underscores MSR's slogan in every sex scene - "Men Are Pigs." It's the way the producers, directors and most of all the actors carry off the non-sex scenes which makes this an exciting video in a key respect: Playing military men, the actors appear as straight and "middle American" as a beer-bust at a NASCAR event, and carry that attitude straight (Oops!) into the sex action as if it were second nature. As such, this is a movie that actually makes you believe that hot, dirty-talking, butt-munching, cheese-eating, pile-driving man-to-man sex is just another day in the life of our ordinary enlisted men.
The setting is a military courtroom, where the super-macho Cole Tucker, never looking better, is called to testify (under immunity) about gay activity in the military. He is questioned before Judge Joe Dixon and is grilled by Jason Branch - looking more luscious than ever in his dress blues. The dialogue, delivery and setting are all as close as you can get to realistic in a gay porn flick, but we won't dwell on the details. Suffice it to say that Cole's lead-in to each of three sex scenes described in court is handled believably. The sex that ensues is unbelievable (in the positive sense of the word). Cole's first recollection is that of the massively-hung Nordic god Thom Barron accosting pup-dog recruit Tuck Johnson in the showers. Barron, who carries a cock that has to be the male equivalent of a 2-by-4 (okay, it only looks 4-feet-long and 2-feet-around) threatens to expose Tuck as gay if he doesn't suck his cock. This is an all-oral scene and it doesn't appear that Tuck is fully capable of handling Thom and is frustrated by the lack of room between his jaws and throat, but he at least looks like he's trying. There's lots of "take that big dick" growling by Thom (who has a heavy German accent for an American soldier). In the end, however, there are some very hot moments before both men blow their loads.
Back in the court, Jason confronts Cole with the fact that Cole stood guard outside a bar's backroom once while officers Matt Bradshaw and Chad Johnson accosted and forced civilian Blake Harper into performing all sorts of unnatural acts with them. Cole tells the tale, and it's a whopper (or, three whoppers). Matt is as splendid, and hung, as usual, while Chad, who has an exceptionally fat and extremely uncut dick, completes a duo who have come out of retirement occasionally for scenes like this. Blake, who is one of the great bottoms in the field, has rarely shown better oral skills here. Kneeling before both men, he deep-throats each of them with aplomb, takes both cocks simultaneously on numerous occasions and just generally gives an oral performance which would have been a highlight of Joe Gage's great trilogy of the 1970s ("Kansas City Trucking Co.", "El Paso Wrecking Corp.," "L.A. Tool & Die"). He slips Matt's uncut cock into Chad's foreskin (a-a-a-l-l-l the way up) like it's a sausage being placed into a roll at an Italian street festival - and then he eats the sandwich from the middle toward either end. He goes into a frenzy at one point bobbing and weaving between the two cocks, swallowing each in one gulp before flying over to the other to do the same - badabing-badabang-badabing-badabang. He actually brings a look of astonishment to Matt and Chad's eyes. Eventually, they throw him over a barrel and fuck the living daylights out of him, taking turns at each end with their respective cocks before all three explode. The lighting in this dark room is exceptionally good, and adds immeasurably to the excitement of this scene.
Back in court, Jason finally gets Cole's anger up when he asks him, in his best straight military tone, "Are you a homosexual?" Cole responds by pulling out a videotape and asking the judge to play it so that some people might know what hypocrites there are in the world. It's a scene of the barracks, where Jason and another officer, the luscious Logan Reed, have decided to rape the burly, hot-assed macho-man Steve Cassidy. Though he resists mightily, and howls as he's forced to suck both cocks and take fingers and cocks up his butt, Steve turns in a sensational bottoming performance here, aided brilliantly by perfectly framed shots of his astonishingly beautiful ass. The sight of Jason Branch and Logan Reed pummeling this man is almost too much for yours truly to behold, but I did not close my eyes, you can bet on that.
The courtroom drama ends on the usual I-love-my-country-and-freedom note, and the movie ends with a very long, very hot, exceptionally lit and beautifully directed pig-out in a bar. Cole, Tuck, Logan and Steve are joined by Anthony DeAngelo and Cameron Cruise (who also play courtroom officers) and Michael Brandon (he of the major pipeline-long dick). Cole Tucker, whose massive tattoos and always-lit cigar bring a menacing tone to the proceedings, choreographs virtually all the action. But he manages to move and prod the action in an almost loving way, like a gentle master would treat his best servants.
There is little point detailing all the action, but highlights are the insatiable coupling of Logan Reed and Michael Brandon - I have never seen the latter suck as much cock, as long, or as deeply, as in this scene. Logan, whose magnificent fur coat of a chest sends ripples flowing from the crotches of men everywhere, has never been better as a pig bottom - riding Michael's cock like a rodeo star out for revenge. Cole has a wonderful time with a double-headed dildo - shoving it up both Logan's and Steve's butts simultaneously. He even blows smoke from his cigar up a few well-lit asses.
Tuck Johnson, a mere pup among men, spends a great deal of time eating heavy-hung men who might be twice his age and revels in this all-out piggery - what a difference from his first scene. But Steve Cassidy is the one who once again makes the scene - he and Cole get into a spit-and-kiss match; he offers his butt to all comers; he sucks any cock in sight and he generally provides the background music with ecstatic shouts of joy as Cole pounds his butt into super saturated oblivion.
After that mess in the courtroom, it's no wonder our military men could be suspected, even in real life, of being capable of cutting loose in this way. I wonder whether that's the reason the Army might have recently changed its recruiting slogan to "An Army of One." This movie may have cut too close to the truth expressed by the old one, "Be all that you can be."
The DVD edition is special because three of the sex scenes are filmed in dark rooms. The digital quality of the DVD picks up all the nuances of the lighting just the way it's needed, and the result is not a single blurred shot, not a single slurp missed. Along with a good gallery of stills and a preview of another MSR flick, this is a very worthy addition to anyone's porn collection. On virtually all production levels, it hits all the right notes. And even though it is somewhat specialized in its sexual situations, in terms of excitement it never flags - and neither will your own baton.
