If you're looking for a special Christmas gift, look no further than Kristen Bjorn and Sarava Productions. The latest from this outstanding erotic videographer is DREAMERS, a must-see video. Bjorn could very well be compared to George Lucas, because he's a master at his craft, and the quality comes through in each release from him. I haven't seen a product yet that could match anything coming from Kristen Bjorn's company. Every video and DVD is top quality, the cream of the crop, so to speak. With this in mind, I hope you take my advise and order this movie immediately.

Dreamers is the 28th feature-length film from Kristen Bjorn, and this chimerical production reminds us once again that he is one of the master guides into the land of idealized sexuality. A five-episode loop film, it is as artfully artless as any he has made. The man are as magnetic as ever, the sex as fresh and inventive, and the videography as astonishing as we have come to expect. Finally, for those who care about such things, there are - as nearly as we could count - 52 money shots! The work's simple premise; a series of enticing men each dreaming himself into a hyper-charged, fantastically erotic situation give the film it's shape and thrust. And it's length, nearly two-and-a-half hours, provides the viewer with seemingly endless possibilities of nigh-perfect man-to-man action. In particular, the opening and closing sequences are among the best that Bjorn has ever created.

PLOT: A better title for this skin flick might have been "Scorchers." Four hot, erotic dream sequences (five in the mail-order version) will make you want to go to bed immediately. Not that you will be able to sleep right away. And do not loan this video to friends. They won't return it.
PRODUCTION: The men aren't the only beautiful things on display. Rarely has porn videography reached such breathtaking heights. The beach, an outdoor market, a bedroom... You're allowed to step into the action and feel like you're not only a voyeur, but a participant. There are scenes that make you think you're looking at fine art, a travel mag, and National Geographic.
PERFORMERS: This is a Bjorn video, so try not to hate the men because they are all "bjeautiful." The noted director has assembled a megahunky rainbow coalition with Spanish, Argentinian, French, American, and Russian beefcake. Speedos, uncut, thick dicks, and mocha-colored love gods never looked better. Honorable mention must be made of a few standouts, however: Angel Castaneda, who appears in the first scene (a torrid three-way), is hung like a farm animal. His cock looks like a pipe cleaner - and he uses it in the same way. Lazaro Carrera is prettier than J. Lo and has an ass to match. And Slava Petrovich is so damn fine he will make your teeth - and your balls - itch.
PERFORMANCE: The dialog is often in Spanish, and mostly muted under heavy music. No matter. Actions speak louder than words, and these guys carry pretty big sticks. And Hugo Peligro, a big, tall slab of ebony, rocks the screen.

Director Kristen Bjorn never skimps on quality (or quantity!) but he has outdone himself with the release of Dreamers. The video showcases a cast of typically remarkable physical specimens in the usual multiple money-shot scenes. But at a running time of about 2 1/2 hours, Dreamers ranks as one of Bjorn's most ambitious projects to date.
Dreamy Andres Duranza wakes to find his boyfriend blowing a brunette hottie with a huge dong. When Duranza suggests there is more than enough of the stud to go around, the video's first impeccably filmed threeway begins. Bjorn's magic comes partly from the fact that each performer is versatile enough to get as good as they give, guaranteeing that even the longest of scenes never gets monotonous.
The best example of this is in the next scene, where a no-holes-barred group manages to shift attention among six hunks without ever breaking it's momentum. Lucas Magalhaes and Jack Murphy are among the best here, but the scene belongs to Hugo Peligro, a dark, handsome piece of man meat who is the focus of the fantasy.
Martin Chaves and hottie Lazaro Carrera pick up Christophe Blanc on the beach, and soon all three are in the shower. The scene is at it's best when the two take turns plowing Carrera, who is simply one of the best looking men on the planet. But the award for stamina goes to the couple in the finale: the rimming and ramming goes on forever, and there are more money shots than you can easily count.
The high standard of quality, and the sheer quantity of sexual activity earns DREAMERS my usual rating for a Bjorn production: 4 stars
- THE GUIDE -
Dreamers, Kristen Bjorn's 28th feature-length production, runs two and a half hours, encompasses five episodes, and serves up several dozen freshlets of ejaculation. The 16-man cast is the usual Bjornian posse of sprites and demi-gods. Most are European or Latinos; few, if any are circumcised. Types range from tall, copper-skinned Hugo Peligro to lemur-eyed Marcos Allende. These models feel indigenous to swank surroundings, but they aren't simply upscale accessories. Their individuality helps set off carnal fireworks. Bjorn's strength lies not so much in depicting beautiful men having sex, but in finding his model's humanity and using it to fuel their sexual interplay.
Each episode is someone's dream. Transitions link dreamers to sequences in ways that suggest a Bunelian series of dreams within dreams. Dreamers is, within itself, a pagan dream of sexual freedom. In the opening segment, Andres Duranza, sleeping naked under tangled sheets, envisions joining in sex play between Angel Castaneda and Antonio Rico. The episode, the best threesome in recent memory, lasts an ecstatic 40 minutes. The models connect fiercely, but the tone is light. They talk to each other, everybody smiles. Sweetly lubricious Castaneda repeatedly whacks his dick across Rico's face. Rico sucks both cocks at once. The three men fuck in a chain with Duranza in the middle. Near the finish, they explore the sexual possibilities of a rocking chair.
In the next sequence, Peligro, standing on a second-story porch, spies five men splashing naked in a neighboring pool. Climbing the fence to approach them, he instigates an orgy. Eventually, Peligro, who has been napping, wakes seated on the porch with a twitching boner; Ivan Andros and Marcos Allende offer to come to his aid. Next, Christophe Blanc, sprawled on a beach, wakes up, or seems to wake up, and joins two friends in the shower. Finally, deceptively ascetic-looking Slava Petrovich, who perhaps has dreamed all five episodes, meets raven-haired horse cart driver Diego Pastores in a Spanish Caribbean town. They piss together, then segue into sex. Before they move from garden to bedroom, Petrovich, cock protruding from immaculately white pants, fucks Pastores fervently. Kristen Bjorn has done it again!

- Vincent Lambert, AVN -
Kristen Bjorn returns with Dreamers - a long and often intense video that gives fans more of the many things for which the superstar director is famous. In five scenes, there are beautiful men, big uncut cocks, exotic tropical locales, gorgeous lighting and videography, and so many gushing cumshots that viewers will lose count!
Hunky Andres Duranza starts the proceedings with an erotic dream that turns out to be true. When he ventures from his room, he discovers big-dicked Angel Castaneda and tattooed Antonio Rico mid-blowjob. What else can he do but be transfixed by the sight and, of course, join in? This leads to an extended 40-minute sequence in which it seems like this tasty trio fucks in every room in the house. Among the many highlights: a difficult double-fucking shot that is wonderfully captured, and Castaneda enjoying a rollicking good time on a rocking chair.
Next, black stud Hugo Peligro has a dream of his own. In it, five stunning guys are having a poolside orgy. What else can he do but join in? Again, the cast is first-rate - especially supercute Jack Murphy, who bottoms to great effect - and they deliver load after load after load. Peligro is awakened from his nap to join in a real threeway with Ivan Andros and Marcos Allende. Again, there is a great deal of oral action, fucking and cum all over the place.
Scene four is included only in the mail-order version of Dreamers. Handsome Christophe Blanc meets Lazaro Carrera and Martin Chavez at the beach and shares a sexy shower with them. Then they too get busy all around the house.
In the final scene, blonde Slava Petrovich gets picked up (literally) by Diego Pastores, who knows how to make an entrance. He rides up in a horse-drawn carriage and takes Petrovich to a secluded spot where they proceed to piss together and exchange blowjobs. Flip-flop fucking follows, along with numerous cumshots. This is the video's only duo, and it is another winning scene.
Dreamers will surely please longtime followers of Kristen Bjorn. He is in fine form here, giving viewers everything they would expect from one of his videos.

- The Porn Emperor, ManNet -
Dreamers is about as abstract and plotless as Kristen Bjorn gets. It actually reminds us of some of his earliest efforts -- "Island Fever" or "Caribbean Beat." It's a series of vignettes unconnected by a narrative, and similar only in the vague theme of hot sexy guys having hot sexy dreams where hot sexy studs have intense, sensual sex.
Our first restless sleeper is tall, dark, and handsome Andres Duranza. And we mean it. He looks like a fifties matinee idol. Black hair, flashing white teeth, square jaw, the whole nine yards. He seems to wake from his slumber -- or is he still dreaming? It's very ambiguous, in keeping with the dreamy theme and moody music. Andres finds his boyfriend, Antonio Rico, sucking away on the aptly named Angel Castaneda, who has such a sweet boyish face you can't believe he's a sexpig. So the three of them have sex all over the rustic house with lots of dark wood wainscoting in a scene remarkable for the performers' versatility. Everybody bottoms, particularly macho Andres, And only Antonio doesn't top. Fun for all. There's a particularly good sandwich where Andres fucks Antonio while Angel fucks Andres. And something we haven't seen before: a rocking-chair fuck. Amazing how that rocking action can come in handy. (Oh, did we mention that both Andres and Angel have extra big penises?)
Smoke and mist wafting over Andres' languishing in bed is all we get in the way of transition to the next scene, where exotic black stud Hugo Peligro stumbles across five muscular white guys skinny-dipping and horsing around in a swimming pool. He invites himself in, climbs the fence, pulls down his shorts, and starts to whack off. Instead of calling the police, the guys join him. (Yep, it's a dream all right.) This scene provides the flick's orgy action, with Brazilian muscle hunk Lucas Magalhaes being a standout. He's leaner and has more tattoos than in his appearance in "Wet Dreams." After some poolside oral action, they move to a porch for parallel fucking, with two couples on their sides and Lucas fucking hairy-chested Geoff Powell on a white wicker chair. Hugo and Jack Murphy are the other bottoms. Our orgy boys are all dark and masculine, too, with more muscles than in the first scene. In their next configuration, another square-jawed macho guy, Domingo Montero, rides Lucas' dick reverse-cowboy while everybody else gets into some sucking. After more cum-shots, they close with yet another round of oral action.
This turns out to have been Hugo's dream, as we see him dozing on the porch with his hard dick twitching, attracting the attention of Ivan Andros and Marcos Allende. We don't know if they're his roommates, or just horny passersby but they appear in the doorway, and when he wakes they put his twitching cock to good use. The usual oral prelude is followed by a frenzy of fucking. Having already bottomed in his dream, Hugo is a top here, while well-endowed Ivan and pixie-ish Marcos are versatile. There's another sandwich, with Ivan in the middle, and a great cum-shot that leaves Marcos' face dripping.
The guys just seem to get more muscular as we progress. Handsome Lazaro Carrera and Martin Chavez pick up fair-skinned, tall Christophe Blanc on the beach. Hygiene comes first with these boys as they start off by smooching and sucking in the shower. When Martin pulls his pals' dicks out of their swimsuits, you can actually see him looking from one dick to another, trying to make up his mind. Not surprisingly, he goes for Christophe's mammoth sausage over Lazaro's somewhat less sizable meat. When they get to the fucking, Christophe really shows what he's made of, pounding hard into Lazaro's meaty white butt with lots of long strokes. This is the best fucking in the video, with lots of exits and re-entries while Lazaro moans with pleasure and Christophe mutters in French. Martin takes a turn with Lazaro's ass later on, on a nice white bed in front of a picture window with a lovely view of the water, and he also pounds away like there's no tomorrow. We really liked the high intensity of this scene as opposed to the more languorous fucking we're accustomed to in Bjorn's work. It certainly seemed to pay off for Lazaro; Martin's vigorous fucking leads to a huge spurting climax. (This, the mail-order bonus scene, was actually our favorite.)
Our final dreamer is Slava Petrovich, who picks up Diego Pastores on the picturesque streets of some Caribbean town. Slava is a tourist; Diego is the carriage driver, and after Slava pays him off, Diego follows him into the garden for a piss in the yard. Well, you know where THAT'S going to lead. Slava is, well, Slavic looking, with high cheekbones and a long, lean body -- last seen in "Moscow: The Power of Submission," directed by The Bear (Sarava). Diego looks a little like Ricky Arnaz. We liked the versatility in this scene as the two take turns fucking each other while thunder rolls in the background. (They better get in from that garden before lightning strikes them!) Slava stays hard while being fucked, and we liked seeing his big, low-hanging balls bouncing around. They do eventually move inside for more sucking and fucking on the bed, where they don't have to worry about being rained on -- or blown apart by a lightning bolt. Then Slava wakes up from his erotic slumber and closes the shutters, symbolically bringing our feature to a close.
Need we add that there are about thirty cum-shots here? This is Bjorn, after all. Actually, compared to some of his movies, the CPM ratio (cum-shots-per-minute -- we just invented that) is probably slightly less -- maybe because this video is a bit longer overall.
Rating: *** Highly, Highly Recommended ***
