Porn Festival to Show Kiwi Flick
We have become quite used to New Zealand films being recognized on the international stage. So to hear that an independent kiwi film is selected for an international film festival will come as no surprise. However, when it’s a porn film festival, your mouth likely opens and you are asking yourself – do we even produce porn in New Zealand? .. <read article> |

Review by Wes Collins
DVD John, the title character of this unconventional adult film - the
first ever gay XXX feature from New Zealand - spends most of his screen
time going from one trick to another, pining about his inability to snag
a boyfriend. ... this is one of those rare attempts to integrate XXX action
into a realistic story cast with real people rather than porn stars....
Real story, real people - recommend this New Zealand import to those
desiring a change from standard studio product.

Trans-Tasman titilation!!
by Peter Hackney
"...So what’s it like? Happily, Glitter Films have managed
to pull off something sexier than the usual gay porn flick. The use of
‘regular guys’, the novelty of a New Zealand rather than West
Hollywood locale, and character development that gives the viewer a feel
for each guy’s personality all lead to John varying significantly
from the usual porn fare. And as we all know, variety is the spice of
life, especially in matters erotic.."

"Sometimes I can’t believe how challenging
my job is - reviewing pornography is a real task [cough cough]. A Guy
Love production from Glitter Films in New Zealand is proud to release
“John”.
Something for everyone - shaving, toys, cut, uncut, married men - one
thing that instantly struck me about this film is the sound track - fantastic
to say the least, and something not normally associated with porno films
- quite a pleasant change from the usual elevator music, in fact the entire
score was specifically written for the film..."

"It's the porn you can watch with your friends" The
Porn Panel Review
Matt Akersten
Glitter Films gave express a preview copy of JOHN the first-ever Kiwi-produced
gay porn DVD. So we thought it was time to assemble a 'porn panel' reviewing
team ...
{excerpts from the review}
The kissing at the start was really nice ... I think it looks good -
it does feel 'New Zealand' but not 'home-made' as such. They're building
up a bit of a storyline - I'm intrigued to see what happens ... it's always
good to see guys kissing. On american films like this they never have
kissing ... Not on the stairwell, this is amazing! It's like somebody's
fantasy life... This is f***king hilarious ... Better than Shortland Street...

Lusty Ladies... by John Landrigan
KIWI babes are ripe and ready to get it on with lesbian lovers. That's
the word from porn writer Susan Wolfe. "As many as 80 to 85% of woman
would have sex with another woman," she said.
Susan Wolfe, her porn name, has written an x-rated film plot based on
one of her erotic short stories for adult movie producer Astrid Glitter.
Although written for the enjoyment of both sexes, Wolfe says the erotic
scenes and sensual girl-on-girl action will hopefully change porn's local
audiences and ultimately the sexperiences of curious Kiwi lasses"
