Desert Heat or Desert Cinema might be better names. The videography, which had to, and did, win an award, communicates with passion the beauty and heat of both desert and men. You don't need dialogue with this universal language of sex, and there isn't much. Nobody should miss this video unless they only like twinks. The only tie between scenes is desert, a train and California wind turbines. In five scenes, they meet in shady groves, beside cooling streams, in an oasis of palm trees, where their pent up desires bust loose. Jackson Phillips plays a trucker who fucks like a jackhammer. Prowling the railroad tracks, Adriano Marquez leads a dark stranger into an erotic daydream. Eduardo's pissing attracts attention. Desert Train won Best Cinematography (Gay Video Guide Awards; AVN Awards) and also Most Romantic (Probe Awards). With its sexy men, heated sex and memorable desert landscapes, Desert Train is a true classic.
Have a Good Trip offers a rather balanced look at psychedelic use. While its main narrative is the stories of recreational use by celebrities, it does delve into the medical history of psychedelics and its use in psychotherapy.
As a musical fan, I enjoyed the film and encourage anyone who likes dark humour and a bit of blood to give it a watch.
The beating heart of this film is the relationship between Anna Osborne and Sonya Rockhouse.
The film does not add anything to its own conversation or genre, and falls flat once it’s about to end and must declare some sort of conclusion.
Another uneven "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" redux that says nothing novel about its subject matter.
The trouble with Yara (2021) is that in its attempt to tell the whole story, it struggles to tell a consistently engaging story.
