Gay Black Cinema contains a collection of ebony hardcore videos, with galleries, as its main content and then supplies you with various other areas containing third-party feeds, games and clips. But as well as that content there are over 40 bonus sites included in your membership, some of which have ebony guys featured. The updates to the cinema do not appear to be regular or recent, which is a shame, as the content you do have is good quality and hot.
I had a browse around the site to see what was what and how everything worked and downloaded some movies. These are DRM free, which means you can keep them always a bonus for the avid collector. As promised the movies featured hung and sexy black guys in one solo episode and a further 42 that were black on black action scenes. Thats not a vast amount of content but there is more to be found elsewhere Ill come to that later and the quality of the movies was fine. Youll notice that some of them come from other sites in the network, but thats not a problem as you can access the entire network with your membership details.
Each of the scenes had a high and low quality version to download or stream. In some cases youre not told what the resolution of the files is so I tested them and found them to be a sensible 340kbps @ 420 x 316. That doesnt sound like a very high resolution but in fact is was fine to watch and, as the clips are only three minutes each, the files were small and didnt take long to download. The viewing options are mixed: some scenes come in clips with no choice of quality, others in whole episodes with high and low versions in either clips or single files. Whatever way the video is supplied to you the options are clearly marked. They also have a short description and some have their upload date. When you do start to view them though you wont be confused by the action; there is plenty of hardcore with black dicks being sucked, asses being rimmed and fucked and all this is done by handsome studs. No complaints about the standard of the videos, though a few more of them and some more regular updates would be good to see.
Check out the home page carefully for the message about viewing the streams. I couldn't get them to play so I looked at the help page, which suggested I use and older operating system and older version of Windows Movie Player (as the scenes are WMV), which I thought a bit odd. But there is also an announcement saying you will need version 11 of the player which I had but I still couldnt stream the clips or scenes. Downloading was my only option in the end but that wasnt too much of a problem.
Each of the scenes has a gallery with it so you get sets of 100 to 200 images to view and collect. Some of these were obviously screencaps and on the small, fuzzy side while others were decent, large digital photos at 667 x 1,000 px in size. The images were the standard sort, shots taken while the action was being filmed, so you get studio or room lighting and caught in the act poses, as opposed to images that glorify the black male nude with subtle lighting and erotic poses. There were a couple more galleries than there were videos, 46 image sets in total.
So your content is made up of some good quality videos and some mixed photo sets; this is all exclusive to the company behind Gay Black Cinema, which also make the other three ebony themed sites in your list of bonuses.
And those bonus sites are to be found on your home page. Actually all of the content available to you, and the extras, is listed on this page though there is a top menu with navigation links too. Sometimes when you go to another area of the site the style and design of the pages change but the main menu is there so you can carry on navigating around with no problem. There are quite a few extras to be had at this, and the partner sites.
The 40 bonus sites open in the same window and you slip straight into the members areas of them without needing your access details again. These are varied sites with all kinds of content to view. Those three black themed ones are complimented by some Latino and other ethnic themed sites, there are hours of hardcore to view, military guys, oral and anal sites, hunks, studs and twinks.
And then there is even more content in the feed sites. These are your typical plug-ins from other organisations and there are 39 general and varied themed ones, but Gay Black Cinema has a look out for black feeds too, and separates out four for you specifically. The feeds have their own presentation styles, use different players and offer different length clips, they are usually only streaming videos but these did stream when I tried a couple out.
For extra entertainment you have a set of some 31 MPEG clips in two resolutions, neither of them particularly high. These are three to five minute quickies, probably under license from another producer and mainly featuring white twinks. After seeing them you can play the games on line or check out the up-sell options of dating and chat.
A nice collection of extras there, my only worry is how often things get updated or changed. There is very little information on the site, no news or model index, and only a basic welcome message. The top few videos had an update date with them, though no year was mentioned, and it looks liken this site is being left to fend for itself for the time being. But once you've seen everything it has to offer you do have those other sites and extras to tap into.
What content there is here is good quality and easy to download; streaming may be a problem but there is help and support to get your sorted out. The updates are a bit of a worry and there isnt much news about when something new might happen, but there are plenty of extras and bonuses to view while you wait and these included ebony content too. The site is easy enough to navigate and use and although it may not sparkle with creativity it does give you what the tour promised you.
