The standout session in the Extended Edit version (available by mail order only) of the film has to be the piss-soaked opener with Chad Hunt and Adam Young. Strange, but even Hunt, a certified porn veteran, seems a little nervous at first. He quickly recovers when he quite literally hoses Young in a flood of steamy piss, drenching not only his co-star, but completely saturating the sheets, bedding, and mattress. The balance of the film is definitely on par with the Hunt/ Young sizzler, each session having at least one over-the-top moment. The action throughout tends to be lusty and genuine, definitely not scripted or by-the-numbers. The interviews that serve as a prelude to the sex can occasionally be a bit much, but there are some insightful gems here and there, especially when Mr. Lucas ignores good manners and grills guys like Kent Larson about their personal lives.

RETAILING: Feature prominently with other titles in the series.

Sting Pictures. D: Richard O'Shea. James, Brett, Trenton, Jay, Tigger, David, Mike, Richard, Troy, Others. 86 Min. Spanking.

AAAA

DVDHistoric corporal punishment enthusiasts have hit pay dirt with this Richard O'Shea masterpiece that somehow manages to blend nearly endless scenes of young reform school youths being birched, hand-spanked, paddled, tawsed, and otherwise disciplined with a narrated story that feels like it belongs on PBS (only without the lovingly captured hardcore caning scenes). Two young men with an unrepentant knack for trouble find it - and then get found out by the authorities who give them a stern lecture before ordering 18 strokes of the birch and two years in post-WWII-era Rainsford Borstal for young offenders and delinquent boys. The settings and performers are all entirely convincing, as are the red raised welts on the multiple pairs of bad-boy buttocks. In addition to excellent punishment scenes, the video provides copious information about England's 80-year-old borstal system.

RETAILING: Perfect for the corporal punishment and incarcerated youth fan base.

-DarkladySTRETCH (DVD)

Raging Stallion Studios. D: David Hempling. François Sagat, Alex Corsi, Taurus, Julien Arnaud, Tim Rusty, Joey O'Bryan, Brandon Aguilar. 124 Min. Fisting.

AAAA

DVDAlthough set in a gym, that isn't Pilates to which the title refers. The focus is fisting, and unlike other, more specialized fisting productions, this one makes forays into fucking, sucking, and rimming - all of which are woven adeptly and erotically into the fisting theme. François Sagat and Alex Corsi steam up the opener with Corsi's furry butt gradually opening for Sagat's hand. In one especially titillating shot, Corsi reaches back and grasps Sagat's rock-hard cock as he's being fisted. Taurus and Julien Arnaud turn a wrestling match into a dizzying multiple-position fuck, ending the act with an agile fist sequence that ends with Julien's raw hole bathed with Taurus' jizz. Pale redhead Tim Rusty sparks a threeway jaw-dropper with Brandon Aguilar and Joey O'Bryan that includes hungry rimming, huge-dildo action, fucking, and, most memorably, a fisting sequence that has topman O'Bryan riding a big dildo while he's got his hands buried in two asses at once.

RETAILING: Probably not available everywhere. Expanded view of fisting theme, with dildos and fucking added.
