CNET editors' review
price range: $749.99 - $929.00
- Reviewed by: Scott Stein
- Reviewed on: 06/25/2012
The good: The new 11-inch MacBook Air has third-gen Intel Core i5 and i7 processors, USB 3.0 ports, slightly improved battery life, and a lower price on the higher-end model.
The bad: The Air still has relatively few ports and an expensive starting $999 price for only a 64GB SSD -- and that 11-inch screen feels small for its size.
The bottom line: The new 11-inch MacBook Air is every bit as fast as the 13-inch Air, despite its smaller size, but you'll give up 2 hours of battery life in the bargain.

Summary: I gave up my larger Macbook pro for a 2010 Air when I realized that the SSD made more difference to me than a faster processor. Over the past 2 years I found that the 128 GB SSD wasn't large enough for me. Not only does this upgrade give 512GB, and 256KB SSD storage options and the CPU is 3X faster than the 2010 air. The high speed USB 3, and Thunderbolt I/O make it a great desktop replacement when hooked up to a big monitor and disks.

Summary: I just purchased the new improved version today. It seems a bit faster overall. Memory is double from the previous base model, which I traded in for this newest edition. I have tried nearly every smaller size laptop available and always go back to the MBAir. Nothing to not like about this box if you travel a lot and need to minimize size of the pack you pack!

Summary: We bought the i5 with the new ivy bridge CPU, 8 gigs of ram and 128ssd, which cost us about $1600. For me that seems to be about double the cost, compared to other machines on the market, but I have gone through many a laptop and have yet to use one that holds to the quality Apple puts into its products.
Gaming, who would of thought this tiny machine with no dedicated video card could play anything, let alone all the top games. This little machine will knock your socks off, using the mac OS or Windows. I play Wow, SWtor, GW2 and COD all set to the highest settings. The machine gets hot but always works, in fact it will shut its self down to cool off before the components inside get wrecked, so I found out when I left the machine on the dash of my car on one of the hottest days of the summer and tried to play a game.
Viruses, have yet to run into a problem on any of my Mac products 5 years now
Windows, I put windows on all my Apple computers using boot camp and find the OS runs just as good if not better. With storage being so affordable now I use a 1tb WD passport with Windows 7 on it. I have also used a flash drive to do this too.
This is a great machine that I hope gets better, I would love to see this size of computer with a touch screen. -

Summary: I have a few computers I use on the day-to-day. 13" Mac Book Pro i7, iPad and my office-issued Dell. By far this is the best of all of the computers that I use. The 11.6" screen is perfect for most of my work needs. Docs, Excel, light web updates, building online course work, Skype, and of course e-mail. I use this in my day to day work.

Summary: Initially I was going to get a new iPad 3 with keyboard, but I wanted to do a bit more than an iPad can do, but not anything that would require the power (or heft) of a Pro. So I decided to give the Air a look. I was torn between the 11" and 13" screen and went with the 11" with i7, 256GB HD and 8GB RAM. It's the perfect size for travel and has way more power and speed than I expected... and it's so light The screen works well for mail, word processing, graphics, etc, and is the perfect size for movies. I'm very happy with this 11" Air.
I have also ordered a HyperJuice 2 external battery that can power the Air for "up to 50 hours" and also can charge my iPhone at the same time. -

Never have I had a more intuitive computer experience.
by mjgway on June 12, 2012
Pros: Computer runs smoothly, quietly and rarely gets warm. The size is compact without becoming cramped. Many features are adjustable--even the brightness of the keyboard backlight. And typing is an absolutely breeze.
Cons: A smaller or less apparent bezel would be appreciated, though this does not detract from the experience and can just be personal preference. The fact that my only complaint is about the bezel should show you how content I really am, frankly.
Summary: Honestly, it has been difficult to put this computer down. Years ago my mother owned a MacBook Pro that I used on occasion. To my great pleasure, so much has ...
Summary: Honestly, it has been difficult to put this computer down. Years ago my mother owned a MacBook Pro that I used on occasion. To my great pleasure, so much has been added, tweaked and otherwise improved during my hiatus from Apple products that it seems as though every time I open this laptop I learn of some great new function or stride toward intuitive computer use. The experience is fun, vibrant and... currently explorative. For those of you who are searching for a light, portable computer for tasks that aren't too technically demanding, I highly recommend this computer. It is likely not optimal for any sort of gaming or film editing experience due to its relatively small screen, though chances are you don't need me to tell you that.
If you are a student or simply a person in need or a laptop fit for travel, then this is certainly what you are looking for.0 out of 2 users found this user opinion helpful.

Oklahoma Family History Expo April 11 Viewed 87,785 times
By: Senior EditorPublished for Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (Area-Info.net Apr. 01, 2012)
Your Family History Starts in Oklahoma
Genealogy is one of the fastest growing hobbies in the United States. Oklahoma encourages family history researchers and will host the first-ever Family History Expo in Oklahoma City on April 11. The oneday event will offer rare access to professional genealogists and historians. Exhibitors there will keep participants up to date on the latest techniques and technology to trace their roots.
"There's so much exciting history in Oklahoma and we couldn't be happier to hold our debut event there this year," Family History Expos President Holly T. Hansen said. The Expo, April 11, will be held at the Oklahoma Historical Society, 800 Nazih Zuhdi Drive, Oklahoma City.2 © 2012 Family History Expos, Inc. – PO Box 187 – Morgan, UT 84050 -- www.FamilyHistoryExpos.com
For eight years Family History Expos has traveled throughout the United States holding similar events to encourage people to climb their family trees. Hansen said the company's new strategy includes offering their services to more family history enthusiasts than ever before at a more affordable price.
The National Institute for Genealogical Studies and FamilySearch have partnered with Family History Expos as major sponsors of every 2012 event to make the quest possible. Hansen said her company is
responding to a soft economy, "We know people are stretching their dollars as far as they can and we want everyone to get the information they need."
Keynote Speaker Arlene Eakle: 'Your Family History Starts Here'
Arlene H. Eakle. Phd., president and founder of The Genealogical Institute, Inc., will open the show with a keynote address in the Chesapeake room at 10:30 a.m. She will focus on a speech entitled, "Your Family History Starts Here! How to Apply the Research Process to Your Genealogy."
Eakle is a professional genealogist with more than 30 years' experience in research, consulting, lecturing, and writing. An expert in tracing families from New York, Southern U.S., British Isles, Switzerland, and parts of Germany, she claims a 96 percent success rate. She will also present at 2 p.m. in a class entitled, "Migration Records and Sources Specific to the Old South."
"Our industry experts are people with years and years of experience who are delighted to assist family history and genealogy researchers in breaking down the brick walls blocking paths to their pasts," Hansen said.
Other presenters will offer classes and workshops throughout the day including Philipp M. Mayer, author of Freedom in Architecture, 4 Decades of Pueblo's German Club, and Genealogy Presentations. He has
25 years research experience and has developed a unique process to organize, manage, and present genealogical information.
Billy Dubois Edgington will present on "The Miller Roll Applications: A Source for Cherokee and Southern History." Edgington has a bachelor of arts degree in history from University of California Irvine. She has more than 40 years of research experience. Edgington co-authored Vital Information from the Guion Miller Roll and authored African-Cherokee Connections.

Movies We Like
Handpicked By The Amoeba Staff
Films selected and reviewed by discerning movie buffs, television junkies, and documentary diehards (a.k.a. our staff).
"Goodness is only some kind of reflection upon evil...that's all it is." --Anna, in Zulawski's Possession.
Possession, the feverish and mesmerizing masterpiece from Andrzej Zulawski, is a drama about a failed marriage that unexpectedly turns into a horror film; a bad trip that you sometimes wish would end only because you feel disturbed, or at the very least unbalanced, for enjoying it immensely.
Continue ReadingAntichrist
Antichrist is one of the most misunderstood films that comes to mind. Lars von Trier is perhaps one of the most misunderstood directors; often written off as an auteur with enough support and gusto to start a film movement (Dogme 95), but not enough modesty to disregard pretensions. The notion to be moved by this argument is null at best if one allows themselves to be absorbed by Antichrist and to accept it as something to be critiqued, if not admired. To do this, admittedly, requires more than one viewing—the first being one that inspired audiences to flock from their seats. This was no doubt due to the disturbing sequences of violence, grizzly eroticism and a message about female nature that was, to most, anti-women. This review offers a proposal to revisit the film with a pair of fresh eyes for those who have seen it and a theorized way to introduce yourself to it for those who have not.
There are many ways to reinterpret the film or to approach it with a more critical eye. The easiest would be to view it as a fairy tale with overtly religious overtones. Comparatively it's in the style of a German fable—which is always direct and quite bleak, and appropriate here since the majority of the film was shot there. Like a storybook, the film is separated into four chapters with a prologue and an epilogue. Title cards with primitive etchings set the precedent for something to be absorbed in pieces, later to be given deep thought. The prologue and epilogue are in black and white and set to Georg Friedrich Händel's Lascia ch'io pianga. In the prologue we find a slow-motion and dreamlike erotic portrait of a husband (Willem Dafoe) and wife (Charlotte Gainsbourg) in the throes of passion. Meanwhile, their infant son wanders from his crib and nursery to an open window and plummets to his death—dying during his parents' climax.
Continue ReadingTCM Dark Crimes Film Noir Thrillers
Bless you Robert Osbourne and Ted Turner; you always come through! Thanks to TCM three important films noir have finally gotten a U.S. DVD release. TCM's Dark Crimes collection features Robert Siodmak's Phantom Lady (1944), George Marshall's The Blue Dahlia (1946), and Stuart Heisler's The Glass Key (1942). Though none of these three films really quite stand up on their own as bonafide noir classics each one is an indispensable entry in the classic noir canon. Phantom Lady was adapted from a short story by Cornell Woolrich. The Blue Dahlia was written by Raymond Chandler while The Glass Key was based on a novel by Dashiell Hammet. And two of the films star the legendary Hollywood thriller pairing of Alan Ladd and Veronica Lake.
For my money Phantom Lady is the best of the trio. Though its first half easily out-classes its second there is enough existential dread and lonely urban ennui to secure its importance as a go-to example of shadowy lighting, paranoia, and romantic fatalism. Then unfortunately things get a bit hokey. Still, that first half really is stellar. Alan Curtis plays Scott Henderson, an unhappily married business man who steps out one night to get away from his daily grind of bickering with his wife by picking up a stranger at a bar and taking her to a show. Unfortunately his wife is murdered while he's gone and the police don't believe his story that he was never home. Scott's secretary Carol (Ella Raines) frantically tries to track down the mysterious "phantom lady" whom Scott took to the show and who would be able to secure Scott's alibi. Along the way there's Elisha Cook Jr. at his sad-sack sleaziest and eventually Franchot Tone as a sensitive artist obsessed with hands (as the wife was strangled, I'm sure you can guess where this is going).
Continue ReadingFame (1980)
British director Alan Parker's third film, the high school musical Fame, has spawned a television series, a musical play, and a remake, not to mention inspiring reality competitions, the TV show Glee and other assorted bores about singing and dancing teenagers. What's been forgotten is Fame works best as a gritty New York drama about teenage life in 1980. Parker, having just come off shooting the harrowing Turkish prison drama, Midnight Express, is no dance choreographer turned director. He's a realist. Parker seems to be more inspired by the social realism of his countrymen Ken Loach and Alan Clarke rather than the Hollywood musical style of Busby Berkeley. He originally came out of television advertising and is often associated with popular English filmmakers of his generation like Adrian Lyne, Hugh Hudson, Ridley Scott and Tony Scott, who all started off in commercials and brought a shiny sheen to their films in the eighties. Although much of their work in that period (including Parker's) looks like champagne ads, Fame still resembles the unpolished look of seventies docudramas over the more purified work that followed. Fame is also one of the better films to casually capture the multicultural urban youth vibe of the times, unlike the John Hughes teenage whitewash that would come to dominate the eighties.
Fame depicts the lives of seemingly random students at New York's School of the Performing Arts, from auditioning freshmen to upperclassmen. Ralph Garcia (Barry Miller of Saturday Night Fever) is a tortured Puerto Rican actor/stand-up comedian who worships comic actor Freddie Prinze and takes up some dangerously bad habits. The ambitious Coco Hernandez, played by singer Irene Cara (the original Sparkle), is a triple threat in acting, singing and dancing. Unlike her character Coco, Cara was never really able to capitalize on the attention Fame brought, although later she sang the hit theme to Flashdance. Bruno Martelli (Lee Curreri) is an obvious composing genius and his cab driver father will certainly tell anyone who will listen. Leroy (Gene Anthony Ray) only auditioned to help his girlfriend get in, but when the impressed dance instructors take an interest in his raw talent over her, he becomes the school's resident rebel. Even though her pushy stage mother believes in her, Doris (Maureen Teefy) may be a little too insecure for the competition. Speaking of insecure, acting student Montgomery, played by Paul McCrane (who would later appear as a great creep in RoboCop), is a wreck until he finally confronts his homosexuality. When the beautiful and wealthy ballerina, Hilary Van Doren (Antonia Franceschi), enters the school she inspires more competition among students.
Continue ReadingChristmas in July
Snarky critiques of the American success story – a myth so central to the national psyche – are few and far between and they are certainly hard to imagine coming out of the 1940s, a decade when a nation shell-shocked by the Depression was regularly sedated by Busby Berkeley fantasies and stylish gangster wish fulfillment crime dramas. But writer/director Preston Sturges was too funny and clever to let such a sacred cow go unskewered.
Sometimes I think Sturges is a bit too clever for my taste. With many of his movies there is the unsavory sensation of an author laughing at his own jokes too loudly. Some of them, such as The Palm Beach Story, seem less hilarious than just smug. But Christmas in July – with its ridiculous brevity (it's only 68 minutes long) – is a short, sharp, shock of hilarity. Really, it is. Dick Powell plays a frustrated accountant who anxiously wants to be a success in life. Though he was known first as an awe-shucks sort of song-and-dance man from various Berkeley musicals, Powell was later often cast as a cynical anti-hero in many detective roles. In this film we get a little of that coolness from his slightly sarcastic tone and weary demeanor.
Continue ReadingYou're Next
You're Next is a near-perfect little film that plays on two very exhausted genre points and still manages to be fresh and an all-around good time. Most everyone has seen John Hughes' much-loved holiday movie, Home Alone, which, if pondered on, shadows a pretty horrifying concept. Lesser-known but still popular home invasion films include Haneke's Funny Games, Peckinpah's Straw Dogs, and even Them and The Strangers. These latter examples have the unfortunate place card as being "game changers" within the thriller genre and several can hardly be considered horror films due to the lack of an impenetrable bogeyman. Some were also taken a little too seriously at the time of release. A perfect example is Straw Dogs—made and released during wartime when paranoia and sensitivity to violence were exceedingly high. So how, one might ask, can you revitalize the theme? The answer is quite simple; add the ghoulishness of a mask and give tons of nods to both slashers and home invasion films and you've got yourself a refreshing oddball that is actually a parody to all the above.
Following a supposedly agonizing two-year wait for a theatrical release, filmmakers Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett recently attended a Q&A for the film and spoke about said wait, the inspiration behind the plot, and casting choices. The plot, they admit, is not necessarily anything to harp on. A well-to-do family comprised of mom (Barbara Crampton), dad (Rob Moran), three sons and a daughter have agreed—after a supposed estrangement—to gather for mom and dad's anniversary in a recently purchased massive house in the middle of nowhere. Dad's new "retirement project," as it were.
Continue ReadingThis is Spinal Tap
Although it has had a lot of competition since it was released in 1984, This is Spinal Tap still remains the greatest mockumentary, the best spoof on the rock music scene, and one of the funniest, most continually quotable flicks I've ever seen. This was the first film directed by Rob Reiner who, at the time, was primarily known for his role as Meathead on the legendary sitcom All in the Family. He would go on to have a mostly pedestrian directing career with a few stand-outs (Stand By Me). With This Is Spinal Tap, Reiner and his three costars - Michael McKean, Christopher Guest, Harry Shearer (all four of whom are the credited writers) - created something very special whose style has been copied many times over, especially by Guest himself. But nothing has hit it so far out of the park as this one did.
The mockumentary (a spoof of a documentary) was not new at the time. Though rather dull, David Holzman's Diary was considered a landmark in 1967. Woody Allen made the now classic Take the Money and Run. There was that Beatles spoof, All You Need is Cash, and Albert Brooks foresaw the coming of reality TV with his Real Life. What makes This is Spinal Tap especially impressive is that it keeps the documentary format the entire film, something most other mockumentaries rarely sustain (including Guest's later work). Most of the other films often cheat and have moments to try and help the plot along that couldn't have been documented by a pesky camera crew. Every moment in This is Spinal Tap keeps the documentary format humming. By 1984 the ego-driven rockumentary had been a standard cash generator for most megabands (peaking in the seventies before the music video came to dominate the self-promotion machine). Going at least as far back as Bob Dylan's Don't Look Back in '67 and the music festival docs Monterey Pop and Woodstock, it was really The Rolling Stones' Cocksucker Blues and Led Zeppelin's The Song Remains The Same that gave This is Spinal Tap its most potent fodder.
Continue ReadingBad Boys
After Sean Penn's solid supporting performance in Taps (as the sensitive guy, opposite Tom Cruise's hothead), his now legendary scene stealing turn as stoner Spicoli in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, and then his work as Chicago juvenile delinquent Mick O'Brien in Bad Boys, Rolling Stone Magazine put him on the cover at the age of 23 and called him, "the next James Dean." Since Dean only starred in three features, it's his cultural impact and dying young status that still make him a household name today. Dean also showed himself to be a gifted actor and it's fascinating to imagine what his career would have been like had he not died so young. Penn has lived past those three early films (to some people's surprise). He has had a long and eclectic filmography, with moments of pure acting brilliance (Carlito's Way, Dead Man Walking, Sweet and Lowdown), while some critics have accused him of sometimes being a hammy overactor (I Am Sam, All The King's Men, Mystic River). Either way the guy is easily a first-ballet hall-of-famer.
In addition to being a good jumping off point for any study of the truth and beauty in Penn's acting, director Rick Rosenthal's Bad Boys is, for my money, the best American juvenile detention center flick. (Internationally you would have to add the British film Scum and Brazil's Pixote.) By 1983 Hollywood had only a spotty record grappling with teen crime flicks (the best at this point was Over The Edge) and Bad Boys sometimes feels a little overwrought with its occasional After School Special moments. On the other-hand it's shockingly bleak and the violence is pretty brutal. Both teen prisons and the mean streets of Chicago are places full of predators - kill or be killed. Though Bad Boys doesn't hit the exploitation highs of Class of 1984, it's certainty much harder hitting and believable than most of the other teen dramas of its era.
Continue ReadingGreat Balls of Fire!
Great Balls of Fire!, the sort of tragic but really fun story of Jerry Lee Lewis, is a movie as bonkers as its hellcat hero. Lewis was a first class creep who made enough bad decisions to fill up a whole heap of country records many times over but he has more scorching Lucifer-bestowed talent than you, me, and all of our friends put together, probably. He got the biopic he deserved in this cranked up Southern exploitation romp that manages to both vilify and celebrate "the Killer" at the same time without any useless moral handwringing that would've sounded an insufferably false note anyway.
Dennis Quaid is a terribly wonderful, terribly underrated actor and he goes all out with his Killer. Looking like a Deep South doppelganger of Cesar Romero's the Joker from the 1960's Batman TV show, he's a demonic pretty boy in a yellow suit who knows he can steal the show from anyone he's put onstage with. He charms and infuriates all the people hitched to his star, be it Sam Phillips of Sun Records (played by the late, great Trey Wilson) or his bandmates (including John Doe from X). Alec Baldwin plays his (later to be notorious) cousin, preacher Jimmy Swaggart. Everyone seems to want a piece of Jerry Lee, from a groupie who makes off with a lock of his golden hair to his "man of God" cousin who even then was a terrible hypocrite while up there on his bully pulpit.
Continue ReadingBehind the Candelabra
Remember when Wilco got a ton of press for having been dropped from their record label, Reprise, just as they were about to release the album that went on to be their most critically acclaimed and popular work, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot? It was a story often repeated at the time as a shorthand demonstration of how sorry and dysfunctional the music industry had become. How could one of the country's best, most innovative and respected bands get dropped as a reward for making their finest synthesis of experimental leanings and classic Americana pop song craft? The story became symbolic of how skewed the priorities had gotten within the music industry which increasingly focused on short term profits from lowest common denominator garbage.
Well, I happen to think that Behind the Candelabra has become the filmic equivalent of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. Every story about the film leading up to its release had to mention how no Hollywood studio would make the movie even though it was to star two of the most famous (Michael Douglas) and bankable (Matt Damon) stars working today and directed by one of the most successful and esteemed filmmakers (Soderbergh). Bankable stars; a respected, dependable filmmaker; a juicy, ridiculous story—what's not to like? Apparently enough that only HBO would agree to make it, effectively killing the film's chances of a theatrical release and giving one of the best, most entertaining movies of the year over to television.

PureDWTS Exclusive: Henry Byalikov Talks Of Dancing, Choreographing, And His Movie Role In The Great Gatsby
We have an exclusive new interview to share with you with dance pro and Troupe Member Henry Byalikov!! He took time out of his extremely busy schedule currently to answer a few questions about Dancing With The Stars. Also, and in case you know, this is a very special time in Henry's career as he's also featured in the new movie "The Great Gatsby" which is now out in movie theatres everywhere. So we also asked Henry some questions on his role and part in the movie. He takes us right there up close and personal. Check it out…
Hi Henry! How are you and how is Dancing With The Stars going for you this season? As always, our staff and fans are enjoying you immensely on the show. Speaking of, you choreographed an opening group number for Week 5′s Results show that was indeed spectacular!
Hi there! I'm great and have to say this is one of the most exciting season's of my Dancing With The Stars experience. Loved being able to choreograph this season! I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did
Wow, and your help with Derek and Kellie and their Great Gatsby dance in Week 5 was off the hook. What was the creative process like and working with Derek again?
It certainly was a pleasure working with Kellie, Derek and Anna this season. The creative process was somewhat more separate as compared to season 14's Bollywood Samba. In this instance, I was able to choreograph the foxtrot that Anna and I performed. Once that was complete, it was a matter of marrying the two routines (Derek and Kellie's and Anna and mine), so that we could make a real performance piece of it. I think that's where the collaboration started, as Derek, Anna, Kellie and I, all wanted it to be more of a scene performed together rather than a strict side by side comparison. I think it worked out to be more entertaining that way.
This was also the first time, on Dancing With The Stars, that I have performed a traditional ballroom number and I had a blast! Incorporating a Gatsby theme was almost part and parcel of this collaboration, as I had already been part of "The Great Gatsby". Performing with Anna, Derek and Kellie was a wonderful experience!
Speaking of The Great Gatsby, it's premiere is coming up on May 10th! Many dance fans may not know this yet, but, you have a featured part in this movie as a dancer. Can you tell us a little about it and how you were approached to help? Read more..

I gave Giselle a call after my buddy Josh got me out of a pretty bad situation. I figured I would return the favor by hooking him up with this gorgeous puerto rican girl. I had Josh waiting outside in the pool to surprise her with what she calls a gringo rico... which means delicious white boy. Believe me she loved how his cock tasted in her hot mouth. After face fucking her Josh flipped her over and banged her doggy style....her favorite position. I am sure she will be hanging out with Josh much more often now.

Red Alert - Director's Cut FVP115D
New man in town, Michel Lucas, discovers an exciting world of endless possibilities--sexual and otherwise. Also starring Falcon exclusives Brennan Foster, Tristan Paris & Marc Stewart; plus Kurt Stefano and Nick Ford. Goodwill and Glasnost all around.
Scene 1
Russian immigre Michel Lucas has just arrived in town, bent on discovering all the wonders this new world can offer. With his gaydar on high frequency, he is quickly directed to hot and horny Kurt Stefano who invites the handsome stranger inside for a rugged session of sexual glasnost. This is the kind of welcome the Cossack gladly surrenders to where both parties can freely suck and fuck to their hearts' content, until reaching a mutual and satisfying detente.
Scene 2
Landing an office interview, Michel Lucas meets Brennan Foster and Nick Ford who explain what the job entails. They begin to demonstrate some expected office skills, where oral dick-tation turns out to be more physical than literal. Michel stands back surprised and turned on. He starts to masturbate as he watches them go at each other. Brennan and Nick get lost in each other's sweaty bodies, sucking cock and fucking ass. They finally shoot their loads – tasty mancream for their coffee – but Michel has already split; this isn't what he's looking for.
Scene 3
Young Christopher Scott knows what exquisite danger lurks behind that red door. Leather Daddy Marcelo Reeves is waiting for him – and his tight ass – with mischief on his mind, along with a jar of lube, an assortment of rubber toys, and a gloved fist that's itching to worm its way up his hole. Christopher settles himself into a sling and lets the Master go to work. He writhes and groans with pleasure as he gets fucked. Then the different objects are systematically crammed into his crack. And when Marcelo thrusts his greased fist inside, Christopher bucks and shivers in ecstasy.
Scene 4
Michel Lucas has found new digs and his new roommates Marc Stewart and Tristan Paris work to make him feel welcomed. They hunker down on the newbie, getting to know his cock and balls, welcoming that uncut prick down their gullets and into their bungholes. And Michel is more than receptive to their rabid eagerness to open wide and spread goodwill – no doubt thinking all along of more red-hot sessions to come!
From MVP060 - "Blur"
Colby Taylor and Jeremy Tucker make out and get into some hot cock sucking. Colby sucks on Jeremy's massive meat and the two trade blowjobs before Tucker sits down on Taylor's thick cock. Turnabout is fair play and so Colby bends over for Jeremy's uncut tool and the two fuck until Colby explodes in a messy cumshot all over himself with Jeremy adding his own spunk to the mix.
