5.0 out of 5 stars Another great Bright movie, December 7, 2009

This review is from: Aaron ... Albeit a Sex Hero (DVD)

Silly Bunny Pictures has a new offering, the indie feature "Aaron...Albeit a Sex Hero." Always one to support the artists I enjoy, I purchased it from the Silly Bunnies website. After all, he needs money to work on the next movie, so I wanna do my part so I can see more of his movies - at the heart, a fairly selfish act. The movie was written, directed and produced by Paul Bright, who decided on this outing to stay behind the camera, save a brief cameo. Enough, now let me get on with the movie.

Aaron...Albeit A Sex Hero is a heart an action movie, good vs. evil, with a twist. I enjoyed it greatly, finding it incredibly crisp for what I have come to expect from an indie feature. Our hero is hot, smart and gay. Aaron, played by Matthew Charles Burnett, is struggling a bit, in a bad job after a bad experience in the last. Jesse, whose 'real' name is Jesus, is a major stud who doesn't gel with Aaron at first, neither able to say the right thing as Aaron introduces himself on Jesse's first day. He is played by hot Papi Rafiel Sotto. The fates have different ideas, however, as they are repeatedly thrown together and discover new things about the other and themselves. Much like the arid setting, the story is steamy and sweaty, and kept my attention from start to finish. The script is pretty tight, with little superfluous baggage that often infects an indie film. Sure, it has its quirks, with things like spontaneous lesbian orgies, icky spiders, snakes and scorpions, and still maintain believability. The characters created are very true to life, like people I know in my own town. The acting is surprisingly good, and Mr. Burnett and Mr. Sotto are sexy and real, and have excellent chemistry together. The bad guys were everything they needed to be, hot and a bit trailer trashy, and ultimately tasty. The ladies of the tour group are funny and charming.

Where Angora Ranch oozed charm and humor, Aaron sweats out sexiness and excitement. Aaron has a much tighter script, and moves at a much quicker pace. The DVD comes with extras, like the trailer, a scene by scene go-to feature, and a behind the scenes mini-film hosted mainly by Mr. Bright. He is funny and informative. It was a great purchase.

4.0 out of 5 stars Stop! Or I'll...uh...shoot!, December 13, 2009

This review is from: Aaron ... Albeit a Sex Hero (DVD)

Poor Aaron is having a bad day. He's on his last day of a lousy job. That crappy job has him hosting old ladies who "dress" like old movie stars to sites around Austin Texas that have been used in movie shoots. The new van driver is a creep. His company's boss is about to be revealed as a drug smuggler. The boss's henchmen are trying to kill him. Worse yet, his grandmother has decided she wants to toodle along in the van on Aaron's last day on the job. And things are about to get worse.

That's the setting for writer/producer/director Paul Bright's (Theft, Angora Ranch) new movie, the quirky crime caper "Aaron, Albeit a Sex Hero." Aaron (Matthew Charles Burnette) simply wants to finish a day's work so he can start a new job with a cruise line. Instead, he has to fight to escape drug runners, scorpions, rattlesnakes, spiders and Jessie, the new driver who is in on the trafficking. Oh yes, and to not embarrass himself in front of his grandmother...who is having a secret affair with one of the van travelers!

"Aaron..." dodges the usual gay-movie cliches in that Aaron is hunky but no James Bond. He's already come out, so there's no endless angst about "is he or isn't he?" Nobody here is a crazed interior decorator or show-tune queen. In fact, at just under 90 minutes, this movie moves at a rapid clip with little wasted space. Aaron has one night to make everything right, and maybe get his rocks off. "Aaron...Albeit a Sex Hero" is a fun watch, with both Matthew Charles Burnette and Rafiel Soto (who plays Jessie and is one hunky bad guy) are solid in their leads and make the best of this low-budget treat.

PS. Watch the credits for an extra reveal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Movie Review, February 7, 2010

This review is from: Aaron ... Albeit a Sex Hero (DVD)

What some may pass off as a "low-budget film" makes up big in personality. For those who often enjoy the quirks of what the Indie film world has to offer, they will certainly not be disappointed in "Aaron....Albeit a Sex Hero". The director's sense of humor and the characters' personality light up the plot of a normal guy amongst abnormal circumstances. Aaron's (Matthew Charles Burnett) normalcy and contempt for his mundane job is relatable almost instantly, giving the plot its chance to win over the audience's undivided attention. Stuck in his job as a tour bus driver, his self-loathing humor establishes him as a likeable guy and with that, creates a plot that is far more entertaining than those surrounding suck-ups and martyrs. The only hope for Aaron to pass the time comes when Jesse (Rafiel Soto), a Latino man new to the bus-driving world, enters his life. From then, the plot takes off and captivates its audience in a multiplicity of superb circumstances.

While Aaron's character is the center of the movie, he is only elevated by a thrilling plot and a crowd of other relatable characters. The storyline is full of action, humor, and unexpected situations complete with lust, love, and a lot of Texas heat. The supporting cast is no less entertaining. The assembly of women following Aaron and Jesse bring about a whole other layer to the movie's identity. Additonally, some fresh new faces grace the Indy movie scene via the film: Polly, played by Connie Maynord, does not differ from the quirkiness the film offers. Her character as an eccentric tour guide along for the ride with Aaron provides her own set of twist and turns in the plot. Her humor and personality are just as relatable at those who are in the lead and with that, we can truly enjoy watching the trouble she causes. Her likeable and detailed demeanor reminds us of those funny moms we love to joke with everything Thanksgiving. The harmonious balance between the women in the cast and the main men makes for a soothing connection between audience and cast.

Overall, the movie holds true to the entertainment the title promises. Don't be fooled by its independence; it is as developed as those who play their parts.
