Slow Heat In A Texas Town

By: buddhawannabe

Response to "BlueinChicago": In my review for Joe Gage's "Gale " I proposed that his films appeal to people looking for a particular kind of porn experience. That would be true for just about every porn film ever made, in fact, since we're all made different in terms of what we respond to. I'd also say that with most porn, finding the special experience we're looking for compensates for there sometimes being a "down side" to the way a director brings it to us. Yes, Joe Gage's films are long and sometimes rather slow, but once a film of his has got us in its grip, we want to be able to stay with that experience for a while. There are also kinks that Joe Gage is 'into' which might not appeal to everybody. He really likes to show guys pissing together, even when they're not pissing on each other (i.e. water sports), and he edits those scenes so that the guys seem to have bladders the size of swimming pools. If you're not into that, and you don't want that kind of scene in your porn, then good luck with finding porn where everything that's included interests you. Now. Assuming that, in general, you like what Joe Gage has to offer, "Slow Heat" has a lot going for it. The first scene, between Del Cobb and Colton "Good Things in Small Packages" Steele, is the hottest. Gage usually features men who aren't conventionally pretty and you can really believe that Cobb is a country cop who's "never done this before." The next scene isn't quite so believable exactly because Steve O'Donnell IS so pretty; guys who are that good looking head for the bright lights of the big city, instead of hanging around town. In the third scene we're back to a believable 'country cousin' as played by Cory Flint (not in the TLA cast listing, but he's one of the best in the film), and hot dynamics as, first, the city boys order him around, and then the power flips to the other side. The scene with the coach fucking the football player might seem like standard stuff, but Nick Capra and Zane Jacobs are really hot in it (one of Gage's strengths is that he's able to get familiar porn stars to exceed previous expectations). There's even a bit of toe-sucking, not standard for Gage. Cobb comes back for another hot scene, this time with Chad Manning--Cobb stays in character as the straight-identified guy giving in to a guilty pleasure. Later there's another scene bringing two guys together whom we've seen earlier in the film, but not with each other (Cory Flint and Zane Jacobs), but most of the rest of the film has to do with Josh West as a supposedly sinister chief of police and Jackson Wild (whose character is supposed to be the son of Del Cobb's character, adding a bit of family role play to the mix, though the two never get together). Again, I just can't see Josh West as sinister, even with motorcycle shades and chomping on a cigar. Maybe it's those dimples. At the end we see Josh and Jackson cuddling, in fact, but in the meanwhile they've had two scenes, one with O'Donnell, and another, particularly hot one with Steve Carlisle and Nick Capra, in which the older men flex their muscles, wrestle naked, etc. This film came out in 2008, at the end of a five-year roll during which Gage directed a dozen of the hottest films in gay porn. This one isn't quite up with the best of those (if you're new to Gage, try "Arcade on Route 9," made two years before "Slow Heat"); nevertheless, I think it's hotter than most other gay porn I've watched. But that's just me! ;-)

It's no wonder this movie is 180 minutes long given that it takes 20 minutes for the actors to empty their bladders. Prostate problems? Maybe, the loads aren't anything more than I've made on my own. This is just sooo slow moving. I'm still chaffed and out of lube.
