this guy continues to shoot some of the and if not the best porn at the moment.
this guy is innovative and way ahead of his time

Have you heard of Mike Adriano? he's the best

Manuel Ferrara follow the lead of Rocco Siffredi, which is the guy that brought him to the big spot. Manuel was one of the always-present male performer in Rocco's series like, Animal Trainer, Rocco Initiation with the big difference that Rocco stopped to shoot movies in USA and concentrated more on shooting new babes from and in Europe, and the other French man of porn, Christoph Clark, who shoot Manuel in almost all of his original series (Beautiful Girls). Manuel styles is pretty much Rocco's and Clark's one: very aggressive, runchy, nasty and male-dominant approach to fucking on camera. Technically speaking his repertoire is modest: he has not the ability on camera like John Leslie, not Jonni Darko; his use of environment is quite poor: rarely shoot outside, and when it does he comeback to inside; there is no script, no story-line, neither 'idea' of a plot in his movies: just what I call banging gonzo-style. Lots of anal, DP and hard-fucking approach to performance: his best series, Evil Anal, Slutty & Sluttier, Fucked on Sight are a mono-tone style: there is never a slice of a new idea in his approach, which reflect the fact that before than a director is very much still a performer.

The formula of the 'banging-gonzo style' is very simple: its Rocco Siffredi magical approach: pick a beautiful babes and make her perform like she is a slut. As long Manuel Ferrara pick beautiful babes who are willing to perform like slut on camera he will go along.

But for innovative style, well forget about that.

to argue with that critique.  But the films do service the male fantasy of being in control on a wild ride.

witness the work of John Leslie, Jonni Darko, Robby D., and few others. It is not clear why Manuel Ferrare has to slap 30 times in a lady face to sell the fantasy of being in complete control on a wild scenario.

I recall an old say in Porn: "When you do not have ideas about shooting you just end up abusing women on set."

Today there is so much of the latter because there is so less of the former.

Technically speaking, the so-called 'Directors' with some very few exclusion, are just guys holding video cameras.

PS: To make my point even more clear: just pick Rocco Ravished Hollywood, and watch closely scene #2 and scene #3. There is nothing Oscar winning in the shooting, just the solid craft of someone who knows what he is doing. The set is a up hills mansion on Hollywood; the scene see Ann Marie Rios playing a model being photographed outside and Nikki Benz who play the 'Hollywood blonde starlet' who Rocco is visiting; Nikki leave the mansion to go shopping for getting hot dressing for making Rocco welcome in Hollywood. Once she leave Rocco start teasing Ann Marie and soon she is banging her over the border of the pool and then in the garden outside. Of course once Nikki come back from the shopping she get mad at Rocco: look, I bought all those beautiful dress for you and you are banging my friends in my place, what a cheap mother fucker you are Rocco! Now the detail: Ann Marie wishper: "I think it better I leave, since those two need to talk to each other alome." One dialogue line, just one in the right spot: brilliant!

Let's come back to the rest. With his tool still hard he get close and help Nikki to relax, screaming to her to calm down: open shot in the garden. Rocco now tell her that he came to Hollywood to visit only her; some nice hug, some kiss, some little smile: soon Nikki cannot resist the Italian charming-style of Rocco and once she show him the nice dress she brought for him, well, she get banged like crazy since this is the real love Rocco wanted to give her.

Again, nothing Oscar winning here: even though you won't see Nikki Benz being hammered that hard again for a while. Rocco really bang Nikki hard in all possible positions, slapping, spitting, spanking her ass. Nothing is missing, since this is pure "Rocco style:" hard,  raunchy, male-dominant performance over a beautiful babes who thus is perfectly filling the scenario of a slut being banged hard by him.

I have to see Manuel Ferrara producing anything even comparable to such stuff. As long he need to slap a women on camera 30 times for each shooting he does, well, you know he has no ideas about producing porn. He will produce just 'sport fucking' to use Erik Everhard formula...

im gonna say it again, mike adriano, the guy never slaps women but does fuck them in the ass hard!

Mike Adriano recently move to Evil Angel is a good upgrade for him. Still he part of the banging-gonzo style that dominate pornlandia since last decade. His specialty is POV anal banging young babes. He is a good looking guy with a big tool, so POV anal emphasize that. His previous work with New Sensation and Bang Bros is along the same line. There are some interesting aspect of his work, but his camera work is still in process. He is not aggressive even though others have noticed that he use too much spitting, and its approach is not straight-to-fuck: there is some 'let me know you dialogue before the action start, and some good intro-teasing shooting in his recent work, as well nice use of close-up...on the negative side his movies are beyond the reasonable in terms of lenght, which it tell me he is not that good of polishing his shooting before editing the final version. The approach based on "camera, light and roll-over forever' is ok couple of times...sooner it will get boring, if you are going to shoot mainly banging-gonzo as he does.

He has lots to learn in term of butt-shooting techniques, which the master of all time is John Stagliano. His American Anal Slut has a good formula: 12 young babes all hammered in the ass. Its this done with something that show talent? I don't think so. Perhaps, its a good selling fantasy to bang 20something teens in their ass, but this its the only reason I can find to like his work. Some said that he might be the next Julius Jordan, which I doubt very much.

His style is a working process as far I'm concerned. So far he just another guy that it is 'holding a cameras' and banging young babes in the ass. If you tell me that is what you like I've no problem at all with your taste. But in porn there is nothing new about that...

Sincerely,
BM
