Michael Lucas has been called many things, but no one can dispute his talents as a porn star, producer and director. His lavish feature productions, from which there are 500 scenes on this site, are among the most polished – and big-budget – gay porn films ever made. Lucas Entertainment’s wealth of other content, including image galleries and shorter videos, provides further evidence that raunchy Lucasland truly lies at the pinnacle of gay porn.
Tour
Strangely, the free tour undersells the amount of hot material available to site members. The tour’s four pages consist of bullet-pointed content lists and previews of recently released scenes available inside. Those few samples are, admittedly, sizzling – but they give little indication of Lucas Entertainment’s huge catalogue. A more comprehensive mirror tour would provide the curious with a better idea of the site's breadth.
Navigation
Once signed into Lucas Entertainment, however, viewers have access to a bountiful selection of images, videos and model previews. All of the material is convenient to search by using the well-organized and easy-to-navigate menus. The site’s comprehensive search function allows users to sort content by model, movie and even specific fetish to find exactly what they’re after.
For ease in viewing longer videos, some of the site’s feature-length titles are broken down by scene into shorter clips. Helpfully, Lucas Entertainment’s video pages offer a section headed “You Might Also Like,” which directs viewers to similar content. Like the site’s in-depth search engine, this special touch (so to speak) makes turning on, and getting off, easy on this site.
The Men and the Action
Michael Lucas is so commanding a presence on his own site that we’re tempted to say “The Man” instead of “The Men” when discussing Lucas Entertainment. And Lucas’ chiseled features, sexily accented speech and ten-inch tool are definitely highlights of his work. Fortunately, as his “Auditions” videos show, he also has a keen eye for fresh talent – usually men with similarly perfect proportions and prodigious packages.
From cocky jock Ben Andrews (allegedly the “Biggest Dick in the Industry” at 11” by 9” uncut) to doe-eyed Wilson Vasquez, all of Lucas’ men are studs in the classic sense. They are uniformly endowed with huge dicks, handsome faces and ripped bodies. Furthermore, most of them can capably memorize and deliver the dialogue of Mr. Lucas’ carefully scripted porn epics. Hot, hung, handsome . . . and smart to boot!
The videos are shot in a variety of settings and cover the range of action that occur when hot, young horny and often kinky guys get together. Whether its a bed or a couch, a beach or a dock, a New York loft or a Fire Island beach house, an audition or a fully edited video, these nasty, sexed-up guys go way further than most porn models. And for sheer novelty, you'll enjoy the frank and explicit conversations Lucas has with auditioning models.
Video Details
With 500 plus selections, and two new scenes added every week (averaging about 20 minutes in length), there’s more than enough video on Lucas Entertainment to keep even the most dedicated porn fan busy.
Unfortunately, that fan will have to spend a lot of time logged on to Lucas Entertainment. The site’s videos are not available for permanent download: instead, viewers must enter their username and password to view individual clips online as streaming media.
| The streaming videos are available as Quicktime, Windows or Flash media, most playing in an average-sized 480x360 pixel window at 650-700 kbps. |
Videos are great quality at their native size, but full-screen viewing sometimes means
pixelization, especially for older scenes. We also found frequent buffering pauses in the video
playback. But Michael Lucas’ videos themselves are flawless: his cinematography and editing is
consistently excellent, even in the casual “Auditions” videos, and his careful directorial eye
always catches the best angles, the right mix of medium and close-up shots as well as every cumshot.
Image and Other Content
In addition to hot video, Lucas Entertainment also offers over 580 galleries of digital photos and screen captures featuring its stable of hot models. Galleries range from 10 to 30 images and mix the digital pics in with the screen caps. The photos load smoothly and open in a viewer-friendly click-through window. However the pics cannot be saved, are small in size and are marred by a digital watermark.
Lucas Entertainment doesn’t stop at its huge collection of media. For those who just can’t get enough of Michael Lucas (even after all those vids and pics) the site has a “News and Press” section – and even an interactive email feature called “Ask Michael”
Summing Up
The real strength of Michael Lucas' videos flows from his absolute love for gay porn in all it's
forms and from his total commitment to technical brilliance in the making of it. The site has a few
elements that could be improved -- especially the buffering issue -- but we're betting you'll get
swept up in the heat of Lucas Entertainment.
