Doe-eyed first-timer Ari Bond may have the most soulful gaze in porn, but despite all the fucking that goes on at Ari's Place, he does not participate.
    Ari has just purchased a place that most people on this planet could never afford. Realtor Eddie Stone hands him the keys in the opening scene, and Ari declares his intent to have "some work done" before he moves in. Eddie agrees to help him find skilled laborers to do things like polish the staircase with their butts and tear out aging fixtures by fucking on them until they collapse. That sort of thing.
    Marcos Pirelli never fails to steam my glasses, and his scene with Matt Cole was pure delight. They conjugate in the stairwell, with Pirelli straddling the banisters over Matt's upturned face for a penetrating rim job you can almost feel and taste. Then Pirelli bottoms.
    When Damon Phoenix delivers a package to Ari's new home, there's no one to sign for it except the electrician, Brian Bodine. Brian is atop a ladder and asks Damon to hand him a screwdriver. Poor Damon doesn't know a screwdriver from a clothespin, he's so transfixed by having Brian's crotch at eye level. Brian remarks that if Damon were any closer, his face would be bumping Brian's cock, and Damon interprets that remark as an invitation to a blow job.
    Bodine is willing, and he returns the favor, seizing the opportunity to eat Damon's bountiful buns and fuck him on the ladder and over his toolbox. The stark contrast of Brian's ebony epidermis and his and Damon's splooge makes it look like he got creamed by an entire platoon.
    The kitchen cabinetry is hired out to Andrew Philips and Patrick Ross. After a few quizzical glances they realize they tricked on a previous job and decide that a repeat encounter is called for. They sixty-nine atop the Jenn-Air and Andrew fucks bear cub Patrick on the cool granite countertop.
    When Eddie checks on the progress that's being made, plumber C.J. Madison enlists his help in snaking out the drain in the tub. Clumsy Eddie gets himself all wet, so of course C.J. has to help him out of his clothes. C.J. doffs his own duds, too, and Eddie, perched precariously half in and half out of the tub, grabs C.J.'s cock for balance.
    Their lips meet, their belly-buttons meet and they give each other deep blow jobs. C.J. rims Eddie while holding his scrotum in a stranglehold, and Eddie reaches back between his own legs to stick a finger or two into his ass and feed them to C.J. C.J. then surfs Eddie's crack awhile and fucks him over the edge of the tub, still half in and half out, with good camera work.
    Ari's Place ends with a solo, when Ari moves into his completed new home and christens it with his jism. Bond has plump pecs, a lightly furry chest and a furry crack, but he jerks off while staring out into space (never directly at the camera) as if at some apparition. Ari has dreamy hazel eyes and raven curls to tangle your fingers in, but as solos go, this one does not seem intended to help get the viewer off.
    The DVD has bloopers, four photo galleries and previews.
