Film Review: I Want Your Love (DVD)

By Amazon, Books & Authors, ReviewsNo Comments
i-want-your-love-dvd-cover
I Want Your Love is collaborative film between gay porn studio NakedSword and independent filmmaker Travis Mathews.

Jesse is an aspiring artist who feels creatively blocked because of the state his finances and his massive amount of debt. After spending the last decade in San Francisco, Jessie decides to move back home to his parents in Ohio, the Midwest to free himself of the financial pressure.

I Want Your Love is the story of his last weekend in San Francisco with his friends, roommates and ex-lovers coming to his leaving party.

i-want-your-love-1 Sex plays an important role within this film and there are uncensored sex scenes from the start. Sex is used to show character development, intimacy, move the storyline along and the development of friendships: those that start with clear defined boundaries but turn into something more – entering that grey area between friend and lover.

Whatever type of man you’re into, you’ll find them in this film and I can guarantee that they’ll be in a graphic, all-exposed sex scene. Whether your taste be: bears, twinks, older, younger, white, black, asian, muscly, ordinary or just an all-round lover of all.

The film is extremely erotic and at times felt like watching a porn film. There’s even a threesome scene. The obligatory porn “I’m going to come!” scene followed by – well use your imagination, makes several appearances in this film. Arguably the storyline gets lost at times in the incredibly hot, but distracting sex.

i-want-you-love-2 Jesse is completely likeable, relatable and discovers that he’s searching for his true self. Over the course of the weekend he redefines what it means to him to be an artist, gay, and an adult. However the ending was a bit of an anti-climax.

It’s brilliantly directed and shot in a way that makes you feel like your sharing the characters most intimate moments. I Want Your Love is at times: funny, emotionally touching, romantic and sentimental as well as being abundantly horny throughout.

There were slow scenes of sparse dialogue that were followed by peaks of rampant high-paced sex. There was an annoying character – one who really grated, but luckily he wasn’t in the film much.

Mathews stated that he wanted to give an ‘honest and relevant’ representation of everyday gay life for men in San Francisco. I’m not from San Francisco so I can’t comment; but if that’s what it is really like – get me on a plane!

I Want Your Love is the perfect film to watch with your partner or other very close friends – not only thoroughly entertaining, it will give you plenty of ideas in the bedroom department. I Want Your Love [DVD] is available to pre-order/order on Amazon.

Review soon,

Antony

Book Giveaway: Rip It Up by Richard Wiseman

By Amazon, Books & Authors6 Comments
rip-it-up-book-cover-richard-wiseman The kind people at Total Media are offering one lucky reader a chance to win a copy of Richard Wiseman’s latest book Rip It Up.

We all love a good self-help book but Rip It Up is unique for two reasons. First and most importantly is it’s approach is to change behaviour rather than thoughts. Most self-help books focus on changing the way you think – but there’s decades of research that show if you make small changes to your behaviour it effects the way that you think.

Secondly, it’s written by Richard Wiseman a Professor for the Public Understanding of Psychology at the University of Hertfordshire. Richard has researched what really makes people change and transform their lives, so his book is evidence-based rather than being another self-help book that’s wooly with vague references to research.

Here’s a video interview with Richard Wiseman, in which he tells you more about Rip It Up:

To be in with a chance of winning simply email me or post a comment asking me to be put into the draw.

The deadline is Thursday 25th July 2013 @ 17:00. The winner will be completely randomly selected by myself, notified through email and I’ll post the name of the winner on the blog.

Book Review: The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien (printed by The Folio Society)

By Books & Authors, ReviewsNo Comments
The-Hobbit-Folio-Cover The Folio Society have printed this rather special copy of The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien. Here is what The Folio Society say about themselves:

Great books should be outstanding not only in literary content but also in their physical form: this has been the philosophy of The Folio Society since it was founded in 1947 by Charles Ede, with a dream of publishing beautiful books that would be affordable to everyone. Our pleasure in reading is enhanced by the book itself, in which typography, illustration, paper, printing and binding all play a part in creating a harmonious whole. In a world of declining publishing standards, where most books are cheaply printed, and bound using low-grade materials, The Folio Society resolutely sets store by traditional values of excellence; for our designers and production personnel the term ‘quite good’ means ‘no good’: only the best is good enough.
(From The Folio Society – About Us, Last accessed: Thursday 11th June 2013.)

The kind people at Total Media sent me a copy of The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien to read and review. Let’s start with the exquisite presentation of the book.

The high quality paper is thick and feels like parchment; the hardback binding is superb and comes complete with it’s own sturdy case. The overall presentation of the book can only be described as: beautiful, detailed and unique.

Inside the typography is easy to read and it has some fantastic illustrations:
The Hobbit Inside - The Folio Society

The Hobbit Inside Map 1 - The Folio Society

The Hobbit Inside Map 2 - The Folio Society

The story itself is an upbeat adventure which is captivating, but lacks the epic end-of-the-world stakes found in The Lord of the Rings trilogy. The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien (printed by The Folio Society) is slightly more expensive than a mass printed copy bought off Amazon, but the exceptional quality of the print, binding, typography and illustrations make it completely worth the extra cost.

The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien (printed by The Folio Society) is the perfect gift for any fan The Hobbit Film or The Lord of the Rings Film Trilogy whose into literature.

The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien (printed by The Folio Society) is exclusively available to buy on The Folio Society website. The Folio Society also print other classic titles at the same outstanding quality.

Write soon,

Antony
