Quote ‘A steamy Mexican road movie with a now legendary diving board scene that can’t be missed, plenty of full-frontal nudity and a naked same-sex kiss that will blow you away.’ un-quote. Did I see the same movie as everyone else? This movie was marketed heavily to us gay folks, and yet, this is one of the most homophobic movies I’ve seen in my life! The one and only time we see the guys kiss (it’s only hinted there was a night of debauchery) is followed by one of them vomiting (ostensibly
Searching thru a cinematic database to find the top 5 must see lesbian films can be a fun, yet daunting task. There have been many wonderful lesbian - themed films that have been created; creating a list of the top 5 certainly has not been easy. One of the must see lesbian films that I highly recommend is If These Walls Could Talk 2.
If These Walls Could Talk 2 is based on a set of vignettes throughout the movie. The premise of the movie is that there is one house that has seen the likes of various lesbians and their living situations. In the first segment, two partners, Edith (played by Vanessa Redgrave) and Abbey (Marian Seldes) go about their every day lives in 1961. When Abbey takes a fall off of a
Does this count as Furry love? (If y’all don’t know what Furry love is all about, Ah’m not gonna tell) “The Wolves of Kromer” is both a fairy tale and a Fairy tale - not to mention furry tail!
This sensuous and wonderful English fantasy of gay werewolves roaming an countryside of old houses, lakes and deep forests is a dark, funny tale of sexy gay werewolves, murderous old ladies and an old English town bent on getting rid of those not like
There are all kinds of coming out; and “Get Real” touches on several … when lead character, Steven Carter (Played brilliantly by Ben Silverstone), comes out to his best friend-turned-instant-fag-hag, Linda (Charlotte Brittain), unwittingly outs himself to his crush, John Dixon (Brad Gorton), then to everyone else.
Where “Edge of Seventeen” explored the main character’s self-awakening, his coming out to himself, “Get Real” starts with Steven after he’s jumped that hurdle and is having sex in the local park’s restroom! It is there that Steven’s rollercoaster ride of love, hate, and heroism begins as by chance,
L’il ol’ me was just a bit tired of all those French films (not to mention The Quintology of Terror) When Love Comes is a great little film out of New Zealand (Love those accents!) directed by Garth Maxwell who was also responsible for “Jack Be Nimble.” When Love Comes is an intensely interwoven story of a pair of lesbian rockers, drummer Fig (Nancy Brunning) and singer Sally (Sophia Hawthorne), a former pop diva named Katie Keane (Rena Owen), an irresistibly cute but emotionally strung out songwriter, Mark (Dean O’Gorman), and insanely gorgeous Stephen (Simon Prast) as Mark’s frustrated boyfriend and long-time
In reality, coming out to y’alls family is scary and rife with Drama (Yes. “Drama” with a capital “D!”). In the movies, this event is more often filled with mis-understandings and laughter … especially when the family is completely in the dark. Me? My Momma always knew and Papa simply said nothing … Ah was so ready for nasty drama that it was a total let down! I knew Ah should wore mah best dress!
Ah think mah favorite gay movie of ALL TIME must be The Wedding Banquet - as much for it’s handsome lead actors Winston Chao (ooooooo … Ah have such a thing for Asian boys!) and Mitchell Lichtenstein
The Fluffer is a gripping and sexy fictional drama that manages to expose the nasty underbelly of the gay porn business while illustrating its allure. Ta thought that she’d certainly be titillated bah the purported underbelly of porn. Hah!
The Fluffer is Wash West’s first non-adult film and a tale of obsession. Sean McGinnis (Michael Cunio) has been renting the classics and by error gets Citizen Cum instead of Citizen Kane. So starts a tale of sexual obsession that changes the course of Sean’s life and brings great drama to the screen. The star of Citizen Cum is Johnny Rebel (Scott Gurney) a hot “gay for pay” porn
A well-acted, experimental film, Drift tells the story of Ryan and Joel from three different perspectives. But poor, l’il ol’ me just got the worst case of claustraphobia from watching this otherwise great movie. Filmed almost entirely in close-ups and OTS (over-the-shoulder) shots Ah was dyin’ for a few wide shots to break up the monotony. Now, Ta knows the constraints of DV and a small budget, but this was a bit much.
This audacious first solo directed feature film from Quentin Lee (Ethan Mao, Flow, Shopping for Fangs) tells the tale of a love triangle with three possibilities. Ryan (Reggie Lee) a young Asian-American screenwriter/waiter has been in a relationship with Joel (Greyson Dane) for
The Talented Mr. Ripley, written and superbly directed by Anthony Minghella, recalls the visual splendor and fervent characterizations of his award-winning The English Patient. Based on the novel by Patricia Highsmith (whose “Strangers on a Train” was adapted by Hitchcock), and filmed once before in 1960 as Purple Noon, this devious exercise in deception is a twisted little tale much like its young hero — handsome trappings masking more sinister intent.
All pouty and lean, Matt Damon is excellent as Tom Ripley, a sociopath who accepts a job from a shipping magnate to try to convince his wastrel son Dickie (Jude Law), who is living it up (and often shirtless!) in Italy,
Oh Mama What A Mess!
