Wide Awake

In-House Review - Sep 20 2013

Porn is all about fantasy - it always has been and it always will be. The at-home viewer is allowed to lose himself in a world of beautiful bodies and nearly unattainable sexual gratification. But porn stars are people too, and just like the rest of us, they also have fantasies. Jasun Mark's Wide Awake seems to explore the fantasies of mega-hunk George Ce. Each scene takes place behind a door in George's mind (if you will). The first two rooms contain couples to whom George is more than happy to play voyeur before finding his own release behind the door to fantasy number three. As George opens door number one, he finds Jesse Jackman and Johnny Parker in the wilderness. It's kind of a mind-fuck - the fact that this "room" is in fact a jungle - but it's supposed to be. Really, it perfectly mirrors the confusing, nonsensical feel of many dreams. Jesse's cock is swaying in the wind like Tarzan on the vine, and Johnny is more than happy to get on his knees and suck it. After a proper blowjob exchange, the guys get to fucking with Jesse playing bottom. It's sweaty, hairy and grunt-filled to perfection. After moseying through another door or two, George finds Nick Prescott rubbing his hard-on in a very modern-looking living room. He's joined by Justin King and cocks are sucked back-and-forth. Justin's got a wicked hairy chest and he looks like a beast as he fills Nick's ass with cock. In the final room, George finds his ultimate fulfillment in the form of Adam Champ. After sucking each other off, Adam eats George out and plunges his hard cock deep into his ass, with George jerking all the while. George's cock is stiff as he rides his fantasy man and they end the scene with a hot post-cum kiss. Wide Awake feels like art - not pretentious I-want-to-be-an-artist-ARTPOP art, but more like a simultaneous expression of artistic integrity and sexual desire. Mark has a sensibility all his own behind the lens, and like a few of his fellow Titan director predecessors, it's easy to identify a film he's directed simply by watching it. He's even thrown in some cool bonus footage called "Under the Pond," which is literally shot beneath the coy pond from scene one, and "Under the Pool" which is shot beneath the pool that's shown right before scene two and features naked men swimming randomly across the screen. Wide Awake is filled with big, hairy muscle guys and daddies, and for that reason it might not be for everyone - but it's certainly at the top of the heap for its genre. Another wiener (oops, I mean winner) in the can!
