Review date: October 2009

Kristen Bjorn makes movies about real men: Latin American, Hungarian, Canadian, Spanish and Italian studs who are always hard, always ready to fuck or be fucked. These are men with big chests, big dicks and big, unstoppable libidos, god-like in their looks, with heart-stopping faces and bodies.

Some of Bjorn's classic titles include "Manhattan Latin", "Carnaval In Rio", and "Island Fever". These were released about 20 years ago and are famous for the brooding masculinity, raw sexual power and huge hooded cocks of their Latin American stars. Kristen Bjorn has not slowed down one bit over the years -- he has now produced more than 75 beautifully filmed DVD releases, telling lustful, exotic, and romantic stories that are among the best in porn. And now he has brought his talents to the web.

KristenBjorn.com serves up hot multi-racial models in more than 150 exclusive episodes, along with a few scenes from the studio's classic titles. You'll have to watch out for the various up-sells designed to get you into their store and their video-on-demand theater. Some studio sites manage to successfully walk the line between promoting their DVDs and providing content of value to paying members. The effort here is not too heavy-handed, but it would be nice to see more scenes from Kristen Bjorn's classic titles included with the membership.

Tour

The Kristen Bjorn tour cranks up your appetite for these multi-ethnic studs with a few preview clips from each of the main content areas. The available episodes have been divided up and given cute names like "Casting Couch", and "Lover's Lane". The behind-the-scenes video clips are called "Makin' It". Get it?

The tour also includes a model index. On the several days when we looked, the long list of gorgeous Latinos, Euros, and even Canadians was topped by "Featured Model" Mauro Max. Except that none of his stats had been added to his model profile. Errors like this are an example of the occasional lack of attention to detail on Kristen Bjorn. Also, the "Galleries" preview page lacks high quality preview images; if you click on any of the small images you're taken to the "Join" page.

Navigation

This site has a clean and uncluttered look. But when you start on the homepage you'll notice right away that the included content is mixed right alongside the content that you have to pay extra for (like the "New Movies"). The heart of the membership content is labeled "Web Videos". Photo galleries are found in in "Galleries" and the model index under "Models." Here there are profiles for almost 400 Kristen Bjorn models covering the director's entire career and all his movies. Some of the profiles are complete with stats, image galleries, and links to related videos, but some are so incomplete that you'll find only the model's picture. Don't bother with the "Theater" or the "Store" unless you want to pay for video-on-demand or buy a DVD.

The Men and the Action

Kristen Bjorn is a legendary director who shoots heart-poundingly beautiful, lustful and lyrical videos in gorgeous locations all over the world, from Rio to Montreal, from Manhattan to Madride. Wherever he goes he finds handsome, masculine young men with big, uncut dicks.

Can Bjorn bring the same wonderful qualities to his web exclusive videos? The answer is a qualified yes. While the web episodes are more modest in scope and shot mostly indoors depicting a fairly conventional sex scene between two guys, the key is his models, who are always hot, fit, and very well equipped. Where DOES he find them?

Video Details

Your monthly memberships get you the following in the "Web Videos" section: Casting Couch: 150 hardcore web episodes averaging 15 minutes in length. These are updated twice weekly.
Makin' it": 60 behind-the-scenes and photoshoot footage from the sets of Kristen Bjorn. Updated once per week.
"Bare to the Bone": 70 5-7 minute trailers from Kristen Bjorn movies.
Movie Scenes: two scenes from Kristen Bjorn DVDs and two scenes from Lucas Kazan DVDs.

There is DRM on all downloaded videos: you can access them only as long as you are a paying member.

The videos are available to members in an embedded Flash player at a high bandwidth stream of 700 kbps (640x480 pixels) or a low bandwidth stream of 300 kbps. You can also download a Windows Media file (the DRM requires that you enter your username and password.) These videos are 640x480 pixels in size with a bitrate of 1100 kbps.


Just like in his DVDs, the technical quality of the web videos is high. The vids look quite good in the site's embedded Flash player, but choose to download in Windows Media for the best quality. There is excellent clarity and lighting, accompanied by carefully chosen, often romantic music. The various camera angles and the combination of medium and closeup shots seem natural and fluid as they follow and capture the action in a sensual and intuitive manner.

Mr. Bjorn has successfully transitioned from his large scale productions to the more modest but extremely important requirements of the web. And the cumshots are always caught: we never miss the glorious splooging of these luscious international cocks.

Image and Other Content

The Kristen Bjorn digital photo galleries are also very high quality. There are approximately 17,000 beautiful images in almost 500 sets found in the "Galleries" section. These are divided into four sections: Solo, Group, Movies, and Behind The Scenes. These pics will display for you at 770x500pixels.

Summing Up

The web exclusive videos on Kristen Bjorn are a treat; you won't soon forget the roster of absolutely stunning European and Latin American models. Though there are too many up-sells and only a few Kristen Bjorn DVD scenes included, in the end this site delivers many hours of blazing hot video that will keep you wanting more.
