GayDemon's review of Bear Films

If you love bears, you know there just aren't enough quality sites out there featuring big hairy men. Most so-called bear sites feature guys who aren't the real thing - but the folks at Bear Films know real bears when they see them. Bear Films is an entire production company dedicated to creating some very hot bear videos, and they are involved in the bear community as well. You can see a lot about this on their site tour. I'm always happy to see a site that is made by people who really are involved in what that site is about. Let's go check out the member area and see if they deliver what their tour promises.

The main member page of Bear Films is almost identical to the main tour page. The site menu is at the top and bottom of the page, and the updates are in the same location that they are on the tour. In fact, the main member page looks almost the same as the main tour page, and that's good thing. There are a lot of links on the page including updated galleries on the left, newest video clip in the middle followed by a gallery update and a DVD for sale.

Unlike some sites, the links at Bear Films are easy to understand and are in no way misleading. Action Pics, Model Photos, Video Clips are just a few of our choices. If you want to buy Bear Films DVDs you can go to Store in the menu, but if you don't want to, they don't put up a link to fool you into going there.

Bear Films has a pretty nice selection of content. There are 178 videos - 119 more than on our last visit - and 134 action pic sets plus there are 383 model pic sets and 95 photo sets from events. One thing I can no longer find inside Bear Films is the Bear Art section, which was a bit of a disappointment.

Let's talk about the videos. Since our last visit 2 1/2 years ago, Bear Films has made some large changes here. All the vids are now offered in 3 formats of video - they say that their best quality videos are in Flash format, better quality are WMVs and good quality are Quicktime. The Flash vids are offered in 3 qualities - the site says they're 150k, 500k and 1000k and each is shown in a different size. The 1000k Flash videos look pretty good and play pretty smoothly, but the 150k versions are probably closer to 250k so it's hard to know how they'll work for dialup users.

The WMVs are shown at 480x360 with a bitrate of about 780k, and the Quicktime videos are shown at the same size with a bitrate of between 500k and 600k. All the videos at Bear Films are good amateur quality with good sound, and my only complaint is that none of the videos inside the site are offered for download.

The action in these videos is hot! These are real men - hairy, horny guys who love sex. There's plenty of fucking and sucking. There are also real screen tests guys did for Bear Films. If you love the idea of seeing first-time amateur bears stroking their cocks on video, Bear Films gives you the real thing.

Now let's talk pics. There are a total of 612 exclusive pic sets in 3 sections, the photos shown at 450x600 at good amateur quality. The action pics are packed with all you'd hope for or expect. If the sight of bear-on-bear and cum on a burly hairy body turn you on, the action pics will hit the spot. The pics are amateur to good amateur quality, which fits the site perfectly.

The model pics offer more than just pics. They include info about each model, like his age, weight, where he lives, what turns him on - and a way to email him. One of the models says under turnons "I love stocky, beefy and hairy guys. Woof!" Good answer - I'm sure a lot of us feel the same way ;)

The guys from Bear Films also go to bear events all over the country - and even around the world. They have 95 sets in Event Pics, and these are all pic sets shot at actual parties, festivals and other bear events. The warmth and feeling of cameraderie that is so common at bear events is very clear in the pics, and there are lots of hairy, sexy and truly amateur bears in the pics hanging out together plus pics from contests.

Another feature inside Bear Films that I really liked is inside the stories section. While the Pornstar Diary is gone, there are 17 well-written stories, all bear-themed. And for those who want more porn, Bear Films offers 5 gay video feeds including a bear-themed feed and several more manly feeds - this is definitely a no-twink zone.

Over the last couple years, Bear Films seems to have responded to my wish list for the videos, making them bigger and better quality. It's good to see a site that evolves and improves. I do miss a couple of the features, but I can't complain too much since they've added 155 pic sets and 119 videos in the last 2 1/2 years.

I like the Bear Films site a lot. The site has a very personal feel to it and it's one of the few sites around that offers REAL bears. The content is not the same stuff you see on lots of other sites - these are Bear Films' own pics and movies. The site updates regularly and has a calendar of bear events worldwide on the side of the Event Pics pages. If you are looking for real amateur bears in all their natural glory, get yourself over to Bear Films - you'll be glad you did!
