4 Stars
By: Giacomo Tramontagna

Banished from Heaven
2 Stars
By: Giacomo Tramontagna

Three of these four Brazilian sex loops involve a fallen-angel figure who looks banished from Mardi Gras. The angel's gear includes a multi-lobed face mask, a kinky dagger, armor plating for one arm, a boxy metal jock that makes the wearer's crotch seem canned, and, in a couple
of shots, wings. |

By: Giacomo Tramontagna
| |
When their car breaks down in the Texas desert, two guys wander into the sagebrush and stumble on an abandoned settlement where some of the buildings are made of plywood. In this literal ghost town, the former inhabitants materialize, do cowpokey things like cracking
whips, playing poker, strutting aimlessly around, and rutting-- and then fade back into the vapor. |

Young Men About Town

By: Giacomo Tramontagna
| |
The young men are charming and the town is Prague, but the cheesiness of this production becomes an annoyance, and the story it seems to be telling (in unsubtitled Czech) goes nowhere slowly. |
