A sexy and marvelous French film about a French/Arab gay man Felix who sets off on a journey in search of family with a backpack and a rainbow kite. FABULOUS! A very well done flick. Drama! Comedy! Plus Felix is gorgeous. I wish more gay filmed were filmed with this level of production and acting skills. Ooo-La-La! I think I’ll go watch it again! C’mon baby! Take that shirt of for l’il ol’ me one more time!
An extremely entertaining and sensual gay road movie. Felix (Sami Bouajila) is a gentle, carefree French-Arab living in Normandy with his lover, who, after finding himself suddenly unemployed, decides to Read the rest of this review »
A contemporary romantic comedy about the universal quest for that one true love. Awwww … how sweet. All Over the Guy is mah kind of movie … finding love and getting it in the … uh … end. Ahem. Decently filmed and acted though there are a few slow spots and the movie lacks a true hard … uh … edge. Yeah. Everybody’s just so damned sweet. You there! Boy! Why’s my martini glass empty?

Now Dah-lings, could we go back to school and do this over again? The writer needs help, the actors most assuredly need help. Can ah say FLAT? How ’bout UNTRAINED? They’ve all come from the Bob Hope school of acting … reading off of cue cards. This is assuming they’ve acted before. However, despite the failures ah feel there are some truly heart-wrenching moments that make it a worthwhile watch as teenage boys discover their feelings for each other, only to be found out by their families. The exposed relationship leads to finding out one Read the rest of this review »
Totally rocking, Another Gay Movie takes us on an ass-tacular journey as four adorable gay teens do their best to get laid the summer they graduate from high school. Yes. You HAVE heard the plot before … in several movies of its ilk … American Pie being the most recently famous (Now relegated to the land of un-ending, un-spectacular bad sequels.) Only this time, its filmed in a world where homosexuality is the norm. Ahhhhh. If this were only the case.
Let’s meet the targets of affection: You have studly jock Jarod (Jonathan Chase), who thinks he’s “top” but we all know better; nerdy Griff (Mitch Morris), who secretly harbors a crush on Jarod while obsessing about Read the rest of this review »
It is often misunderstood that lesbian films must be serious in nature. This theory does not hold true for the movie Bar Girls, a romantic- comedy film based on the lesbian life and culture. Bar Girls, which was released in the early 1990’s, has received much praise and acclaim from those that are lesbians as well as those that appreciate the lesbian lifestyle.
Bar Girls, which was created from a play by Lauran Hoffman, was brought to life on the silver screen from the stages in Los Angeles. Many of the characters that were in the Los Angeles play were also in the movie, as well as a special cameo Read the rest of this review »
Ah, sweet love. This beautifully filmed flick should be shared with your favorite date. These guys take their time fallin’ for each other and like real life don’t see it until they fall into it. However, unlike mah birthplace in Kansas, the townsfolk are unreasonably accepting of the homos in their midst! Kinda burst mah bubble. Ah love all the extra materials! Ta wishes every filmmaker would put similar effort into the bonus portion.
This warm and cuddly new film tells a traditional tale of the triangulated relationship with several new spins. Read the rest of this review »
