A pioneering actor in the independent film world, Craig Chester scored a 1993 Independent Spirit Award nomination for his role in the drama Swoon (1992), and has appeared in many other Sundance faves. In “Adam & Steve” Craig Chester makes his directorial debut with this raucous and candy-colored romantic comedy about the pitfalls of falling in love in New York City.

At the Limelight disco, where shoulder pads and acid-washed jeans reign supreme, Goth guy Adam (Chester) and his fag hag Rhonda (a hilarious Parker Posey) meet Steve (Malcolm Gets), a Solid gold dancer wanna-be. Adam 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?

Opposites attract in this romantic comedy about two very different gay men and their search for true love. Eli (Dan Bucatinsky, who wrote the screenplay based on his stage production) is a cute, neurotic X-Files 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 »

Broken Hearts Club is a witty and entertaining comedy about a group of West Hollywood gay boys - their lives and loves and damned if Ta can find anything about this to trash. Ah’m flummoxed. Ah thought for sure ah’d have some juice with Dean Cain on board, but he actually does a good job.

In his feature film debut, openly gay writer/director Greg Berlanti oh how ah love that may-un! - has crafted a funny, touching slice-of-life portrait on the lives and loves of a group of gay West Hollywood friends. The characters include Dennis (Timothy Olyphant), a promising photographer,  his housemate Cole (Dean Cain), a charming man-stealing actor; Benji (Zach Braff), a punkish gym Read the rest of this review »

The Journey of Jared Price is the familiar story of a young country boy who moves to the city to sow his wild oats is given a fresh spin in this well acted erotic drama. Blond and blue-eyed 20-year old Jared (Corey Spears a fellow blogger whom ah’ve been in love with since seeing this movie in the theatah!) arrives in LA fresh from Georgia (Mah home state!) and looking for adventure. He moves into a youth hostel and meets sexy gay boy Robert (Josh Jacobson). Robert falls for Jared, but Jared has not yet come to terms with his emerging homosexuality.

Jared gets a job caring for a lonely blind woman Read the rest of this review »

Side-splitting farce about a handsome homosexual’s involvement with a not-so-heterosexual hunk. Bedrooms and Hallways satirizes issues of sexual identity, gay promiscuity, and male actualization methods with wit and grace. WONDERFUL! A fast-paced movie with snippy, campy dialogue. The acting is delicious. Ah’m now in love with Hugo Weaving! Ah swoon. Get me a mint julep! And Tom Hollander’s character reminds me of me when ah was just a l’il whippersnapper.

Bedrooms and Hallways is a hilarious comedy about the tangled love affairs of a gay man. Failed romantic Leo (Kevin McKidd) is just hitting 30. His roommate Darren (Tom Hollander) only reminds him Read the rest of this review »

Thank Gawd Ah was not wearing make-up layust night! Ah would hayuv made a big mess. The struggles we go through as we trah to balance our homosexuality with our beliefs … and our families … is the core of Latter Days.

Christian (Wesley A. Ramsey)[Ah thought it was a cute tongue-in-cheek name for this charactah.) is a handsome young man who flits from guy to guy without much of a thought in his pretty little head. All his co-workers at Lila’s restaurant expect only the latest bedroom report from him. So when his roommate Julie (Rebekah Jordan) discovers that the gorgeous group of young men next Read the rest of this review »

Three couples (plus one) converge at a beautiful English cottage to celebrate a birthday. Oh, my, what a bore … drama queens without a sense of drama. The inevitable comparisons to Big Chill and Boys in the Band only serve to remind us we’ve seen it all before. However, despite a strong sense of deja vu the actors do a great job of making these characters very real.

This insightful and vastly entertaining comedy-drama, depicting three troubled gay male couples, is both knowingly funny and unflinchingly on-target. The story revolves around an Easter weekend Read the rest of this review »

Mambo Italiano is likely the funniest, sweetest gay comedy l’il ol’ Tallulah hayuz evah watched. Mambo Italiano is the bittersweet story of one young man’s coming out and another young man’s failure to love himself as he is and returns to the closet.

Maria and Gino (the absolutely fabulous Ginette Reno in her final film and the astounding Paul Sorvino), emigrated from Italy to Montreal in the 50’s and married after their arrival in “the new world”, a world they still haven’t quite gotten used to. Their world is shattered when their son, Angelo (the oh-so-sweet Luke Kirby), decides to get a place of his own. “What Read the rest of this review »
