The Movie:
It's such a
pleasure to be able to watch a porno film that wasn't shot in (A)
someone's messy basement/media room, (B) a porno warehouse that looks
like every other office or (C) a compact kitchen that recently had some
upgrades from the store IKEA. All too often these are the locations
where porn is shot because it's cheap. The director, George Duroy,
doesn't want to do 'cheap.' Instead of shooting in a kitchen in
Oakland, California, he sends his models off on a luxury yacht to the
Greek island Mykonos, where the models then stay at posh hotel rooms.
In between the shoots, the models vacation and enjoy themselves on the
island, which is probably why the Bel Ami models are always smiling.
The film is
a sequel, or continuation, from the last Greek Holiday. Thanks to a
recap (included on the disc), some seamen and tourists travel to
Mykonos. Once the boat is docked, the models waste no time finding new
sexual encounters that seem to exist on any corner of this brightly lit
island. Without giving too much away about the "story," the models
share lots of passionate sex with each other by the end of the film.
Sure enough, there isn't that much of a coherent storyline in this
film, which is fine. As much as I enjoy story based porn, I would
rather watch a beautifully shot and erotic film with an underdeveloped
story than bad porn with a complex story. Speaking of a beautifully
shot porno, Greek Holiday 2 is a gorgeous film, thanks to the
locations, the direction, the sexy models, and the passionate sex. At
times, the film resembles some of the beautifully shot postcards that
some of the street vendors sell in the film. I also found the film to
possess an almost dream like quality due to the intense sunlight and a
lens filter used in some of the scenes. Perhaps the film would be any
gay man's dream because the sex looks so inviting amidst the warm
breezes flowing through the narrow streets of white homes. Therefore,
Greek Holiday 2 is the type of film that inhabits your dreams as well
as your conscious desires. What are you waiting for? You should book
your vacation now so that you too can experience your own Greek
Holiday.
Scene one:Brandon Manilow and Sascha Chaykin
A sailor (Brandon)
searches for someone to help him hoist his "anchor." He finds another
hunky sailor (Sasha) sitting on a fence. After some conversation, the
sailor boys decide to head to a private location to compare each
other's poles. The guys first strip off their pants, leaving on their
hats and shirts. A penis sword fight ensues, before each guy spends
some quality oral attention on the other's cock. After that, Sasha
bends over for some screwing. The guys screw for a while until Sasha
lies on his back for more screwing. Finally, the guys deliver some
decent loads.
This scene
wasn't bad, although it did suffer from a certain degree of
predictability. The oral action is perhaps this scene's greatest
strength, notably due to the director's wonderfully lit footage of the
glorious, glistening cocks.
Scene two:Johnny Surabaya and Josh Elliot
Two guys cruise each
other while they shop for postcards. The guys don't buy any postcards
but they decide to go make out in a secluded alley. In the alley
Johnny starts to suck on Josh's lovely cock. Johnny also receives some
oral pleasures for his large member. After that, Johhny bends over,
inviting Josh to fuck him against a wall. The boys screw for a while
until Josh releases a load onto Johnny's leg, followed by Johnny
cumming onto the alley street ground.
The scene was beautifully lit with natural sunlight. The sex is pretty good and both models are attractive.
Scene three:Brandon Manilow and Tommy Hansen
Tommy and Brandon
lounge out in the scorching sun. Tommy invites Brandon over to rub oil
onto his back and then the boys decide to head back to Brandon's
outdoor spa. In the spa, the guys strip off their shorts and start to
tease each other with sex talk and mild stroking. Eventually, Brandon
gives Tommy a wet blowjob in the spa. Tommy then returns the oral
favors and holds onto Bandon's sexy low hanging balls. Next, Brandon
holds his legs up into the air so that Tommy can fuck him. The guys
fuck passionately on a towel. Finally, Tommy pulls out and cums onto
Brandon's dick, followed by Brandon cumming onto his own chest.
This was a well staged sex scene. Both actors acted passionately as
they sucked and fucked their way towards their climax. I also thought
that the wet oral sex was nicely done. Overall, this was a great
scene!
Scene four:Julian Armanis and Yves Carradine
Julian and Yves play Frisbee in the water, only wearing skimpy
Speedos. After the fun in the sun, the guys head back to their hotel
for some more "fun." It doesn't take long before the couple starts to
make out in the warm and brightly colored room. The guys rub each
others cocks (in and out of the Speedos) and Julian licks all over
Yve's smooth body. Yves then sucks on Julian's perfect cock, although
he can only go down so far on that big rod. Yves continues to suck on
Julian's cock until Julian releases a nice sticky load. Julian then
returns the oral favor. After that, Yves has his hole rimmed and
moistened. While he watches himself in the mirror, Julian fucks his
hole from behind. The boys fuck romantically until Julian pulls out to
shoot off another load.
This
was a great scene, thanks to the passionate couple. However, the best
part of this scene occurs when Julian is receiving a blowjob. The
closeups of his irresistible cock being serviced were almost too hot to
take.
Scene five:Tim Hamilton and Tommy Hansen
Tim
and Tommy walk around perusing the local tourist shops. After the
window shopping, the guys head back to Tim's room where they quickly
start to take off their clothes. Tim has his dick sucked on first,
resulting in a wet oral cumshot for Tommy. Tim then returns the favor
and receives a perfect oral cumshot, with extra cum splattered all over
his pretty face! After this, the scene shifts outside where Tim
straddles Tommy's cock, enabling his dick to flop up and down during
the fucking. The guys change positions once more before Tommy agrees
to be the bottom. Tim fucks Tommy swiftly, while his legs are propped
up in the air. The scene ends with some nice cumshots on Tommy's
chest.
This
was a really good scene! Both actors were playful and frisky with each
other, resulting in a believable camaraderie that would exist between
two friends/fuck buddies. The sex was very good, especially the double
facial/oral cumshots for both actors.
The DVD:
Video:
Shot in fullscreen, the image is bright warm and sunny, similar to the
island of Mykonos. Most of the scenes are shot amidst intense sunlight
being reflected off of the Greek island's bright white walls. The
brightness, and slight over-saturation, continues into some of the
bedroom scenes, especially the Armanis and Carradine scene. There were
a few outdoor scenes that suffered from the sun's intense light,
resulting in a slight loss of discerneable detail, but this was rare.
Sound:
The sound was good, with all of the action clearly recorded. The soundtrack is pleasant and non-distracting.
Extras:
There
are some nice extras included on this DVD. The scene selection is
extremely easy to use and offers comprehensive options for selecting
the particular section of each scene, including the foreplay, oral,
anal, and cumshots from each scene. Another extra is a brief video
recap from the first Greek Holiday film. There is just enough action
footage to give you a taste from the first film, as well as bring you
up to date on the "storyline." Finally, this DVD's best extra is a
travelogue, hosted by Tommy Hansen and Brandon Manilow. The two actors
travel around the beautiful island, showing off some of the many sights
and sounds, including restaurants, gay friendly hotels, and local gay
clubs and bars. Although this lengthy segment suffers from some
annoying camera movement, the video footage captures the beauty of the
island. I must also confess that it's fun to watch a travel show
(similar to something found on cable) where the adventurous hosts take
off their clothes to go skinny dipping!
Final thoughts:
Greek
Holiday 2: Cruising Mykonos is a fantastic international film to add to
your collection. The scenery is stunning and the boys are just as
beautiful. All of the sex is above average, with the last two scenes
being as close to excellent as possible. If you are looking for a
reason to travel to Greece in the future, then I wholeheartedly suggest
that you pick up this DVD. Of course, watching this DVD might make you
want to pack your bags for a trip, the minute after you watch it.
Therefore, this tile easlly comes with a highly recommended rating.
