It is very difficult for both the parents, friends and the son to deal With: the fact that in the end he will die (there wasn't much hope of surviving back when this film was made and that is what this TV film is all about An early AIDS TV film which deals, no only With: the subject of AIDS and coming out but tried back then to be both moving and honest (as honest as it can be for American TV film could be) It was, for many the first look at AIDS and even at a gay person.

East Palace, West Palace
(Original title: Dong gong xi gong)

Director:Yuan Zhang Ritchie Hawtin
China: 1997: 94 mins: Gay Main Character
With: Jessica Monroe and John Acquaviva:

I was really excited to see this film as it came from China and had a gay main character. As I watch the film, I realized that I did not understand the mentality of this film and may never understand it. It is the story of a young gay guy who is arrested by a Beijing policeman. There is a night long interrogation between the two and sometime during this the policeman makes the gay get in drag. I can guess this is because he is attracted to the gay and can not accept or understand this situation. In the end he lets the gay go and if they will ever see each other again - I do not know ! Anyway the film is worth seeing if you like other cultures and films from foreign places.

Ed Wood


Director : Tim Burton
USA : 1994 : 126 Mins : In B/W : Comedy Drama transvestitism biographical drug film-making: historical Hollywood sex change
With: Johnny Depp as Ed Wood, Martin Landau as Bela Lugosi, Sarah Jessica Parker as Dolores Fuller Patricia Arquette as Kathy O'Hara, Jeffrey Jones as Criswell, Vincent D'Onofrio as Orson Welles, Bill Murray as Bunny Breckenridge, and Lisa Marie as Vampira:

I couldn't believe that Hollywood would make a movie based on the life of the Worst Director of All Time, who was known for his love of women's sweaters - pink if possible. That Johnny Depp accepted the part was also a shock and that he would play the director of the all time worst film (fun to watch for laughs) Glen or Glenda and in the end it all came together and the film got made. Watch Glen and Glenda first and then see this film. I am still not sure if he was gay, a transvestite or what but I am sure he was one of the first in Hollywood and in the end he made a name for himself in history.

Note : you will hear dialog like this
Ed Wood: Transvestites! I need Transvestites!
Ed Wood on phone: Ah ha... The worst movie you ever saw? Well, my next one will be even better! Hello?...

Eight legged freaks

Directed by Ellory Elkayem
USA: 2002
With: David Arquette, Scarlett Johannson

Not your standard stupid monster movie. You get giant arachnopods, but you also get a small cameo performance by a gay elderly hairdresser and his unfortunate boyfriend. The dialogue doesn't state them as gay, it's just obvious that they are lovers.
Which doesn't save them from becoming monster lunch, but it's a nice touch...
I mean: Gays CAN and SHOULD get eaten by great hairy movie-monsters, too! Why should straights have all the fun!

I had to watch this film two times as I saw the original version With: English sub-titles and I was too busy reading them in order to get the story line that I had to watch it a second time to see the film.
I can tell you I really like this film. It shows all the negative things which people think about gays and in this film they actually say them so be prepare to hear negative talk about us but I must say the positive talk and actions win out in the end. You are not often let into the minds of people who dislike Gays but in this film it really explores this side of life.
It is the story of a major Iceland football league and a star who decides to come up of the closet and tell the world he is gay. He suffers getting fired, having his family and son trying to make him say his is straight when he is not in order to hide what they think of as a shame thing.
He goes through every situation With: pride and try to handle it all that is thrown at him.
He joins a team which has a few gay players and he falls in love With: one of them although he is VERY handsome (the kind of guy you would learn the local language in order to speak With: him on long winter nights) he is to new at it all to keep a relationship going. Anyway there are set backs but it all comes to a head at the end of the film. This is a must see... and I hope I get a chance to see more films by this director and more films from Iceland.
Oh by the way they worked a Iceland Gay pride day and parade into the film (looks like a great time there) along With: Iceland gay bar scenes plus there is more shower nudity then I have even seen in one film including nice sex scenes. So see it and enjoy !

Empire State

Director: Ron Peck
UK : 1987 : 104 Mins : Thriller
With: Martin Landau, Lee Drysdale, Ian Sears, Catherine and Ray McAnally:

This film is very hard to describe as there are many many characters in the film who interplay With: each other. Among them is Martin Landau playing a bisexual business man who likes to be roughed up by men, and Lee Drysdale who is a hustler working many hours at his trade to make enough money to go to the USA. Then the subplot is that a former male prostitute and a young Turk are trying to take over a gay/straight nightclub. The nightclub owner is played by Ray McAnally. This is basically a thriller where gays are used to help the plot. A very interesting film all in all.

He was unable to commit to a relationship and so ends up alone. Upon looking back at his life, he knows that he could have done things differently but now it is too late. A quite moving film and it just could make you think and change your life.

Some gay and lesbian stereotypes are made fun of, but overall they are treated With: sympathy and respect.

This intriguing film raises a lot of questions about sexuality, power and attraction. There’s a wonderful scene near the end where a gay hotel clerk, played to the max by Alan Cumming, turns a conversation With: Tom Cruise into a series of flirtatious moves and looks. He thinks Tommy boy is simply gorgeous looking, and wants to signal it! Tom appears not to notice.- but in one scene young guy pass Tom Cruise and start calling queer names...this he notices ! Oh at the sex party there are two naked men dancing together and two naked women dancing together and are definitely gay and lesbian.
