______________________________________________________________________________________
USA -2003 - 84 minutes:
Director: Sascha Rice
With: Michelle Wolff, Daniele Ferraro, Sally Kirkland
Young Lou’s life is rocked when she falls in love with her best friend,Sassafras, and the two begin a romance. They travel to San Francisco to work as performing artists and come across the strange universe of non monogamous, sadomasochistic lesbianism. They decide to end their monogamy, as long as Lou (Michelle Wolff) plays the role of Captain Daddy, and Sassafras (Danièle Ferraro), the role of Princess, and their lovers also take on different roles. These rules soon start to become more tenuous and their relationship suffers. A variation of the game “Truth or Dare”, played on Sassafras’ birthday, sorts everything out. Adapted from the play Bermuda Triangles: A Non-Monogamy Experiment, by Sarah Brown.Claudio

Well what to say about this film which I have just watched ! It is a German comedy and seems a bit out of dated. It is about a guy who plays soccer on a Straight team but as is thrown off it as they discover that he is gay. He in turn is upset- makes a deal to form a team to play a game opposite the Straights. So he leaves for the big city to find men who are gay and soccer players. He starts a team with the gays and of course has trouble getting the gays to play the games correctly (hum gays can not play as well as straights ?). What happens seems to be a laugh comedy for straight people, oh well see it yourself and decide... Phillip
Italian Mambo With: Luke Kirby, Peter Miller, Paul Sorvino and Ginette Reno:
Based on a theater play called Italian Mambo the movie seems like as the "Greek wedding" with a Italian family and a gay son.
Angelo (Kirby) moves from his
parents home to the his lover´s home, Nino (Miller) who is a
cop and a childhood friend. When Angelo decides to get out of the
closet, Nino dumps him and starts to date a girl because Nino wants
to keep in the closet. Claudio
Alternative review
I like this films a lot and enjoyed every minute of it.
It is the story of Angelo who
has a secret lover called Nino and is a cop.
Coming out in this
type of conservative family is probably very hard to do, so when
Angelo tells his parents he is gay, they take it badly, as one could
probably have thought. This is not a dysfunctional home, in the
traditional sense, but like most families facing this situation, they
can't believe they have produced a son that is "homosexual".
This
light comedy is a funny approach to what happens when the unexpected
occurs. The interplay between the two different cultures in the
Italian-Canadian community setting could not be more true about the
movie tries to deal with. The most important point the film makes is
that Angelo, by coming out, is a much better person than Nino, who
will probably go through life living a double life and being
miserable in both worlds.
This comedy is good for care free
laughs. Director Emile Gaudreault keeps things moving quickly. The
cast is very good. Phillip

This film is the true story of a French diplomat (played by sexy Jeremy Irons). He is on assignment at the embassy in China and meet a Chinese opera star called Song Liling. They start a relationship and if you can believe that the diplomat over the years has never seen the opera star naked then you can also believe that he never knew the girl was a boy ! (played by John Lone) The affair is discovered by the authorities and although the diplomat tries to say he never knew the she was a he no one believes him and he goes to prison - where he also hears and performs drag opera - if it looks like a gay - acts like a gay it probably is a gay. All kidding aside this is a beautiful film based on a Broadway play. Phillip
Song Liling: Under the
robes, beneath everything, it was always me. Tell me you adore me. |

Madame Satã Film inspired by the life of João Francisco dos Santos (1900-1976). A sometime rogue, artist, transvestite, player, chef, convict, adopted father, he spent most of his life in the streets of bohemian Rio de Janeiro. The story takes place in the Lapa neighborhood, in 1932, when João Francisco’s dream – to be a stage star – becomes a reality. The film portrays his daily life, and that of his circle of friends, focusing on a crucial moment in his trajectory; the moment that precedes the creation of the myth of Madame Satã, a name taken from a Cecil B. De Mille 1930 movie, with which João has fallen in love. This film was selected for the UN CERTAIN REGARD program at the Cannes Festival in 2002.

Madame Sousatzka
USA:
1988: Gay Character
With: Shirley MacLaine and Lee Monaque:
This film is listed for two reasons, the first is that there is a very well written secondary character in this film. It is a very short role about an older man who turns to Mme Sousatzka for help after he is gay bashed and she helps him. The second reason is that Shirley MacLaine is very good in this film as Mme Sousatzka who is a piano teacher. So see the film for both of these reasons. Phillip

The film centers on a man
called Harry and opens up with him at a gay bar filled with handsome
men. There is only one problem he has a large facial birthmark which is
in the form of a map of Madagascar (hum... you have to have been good
at school to know that ) anyway he is rejected by everyone and even
tried to Dark room (which appears to have too much light ) and he get
rejected there, in a hot scene but as the song goes "Love will always
find you - no matter where you hide" well one day he is at the beach
and saves an older man from drowning. This man has tattoos so he
doesn't seem to mind the birth mark. What develops between the two
seems to be real love, even thought the older man has a few quirks !
This is a must see film ! Phillip |

The USA film critic Raymond Murray hailed this film as "The Gayest non-Gay film ever made!" Don't be fooled it is not a gay story, it is a film about a very heterosexual King George III but has performances / work on the film with all the best of the gays in the film industry so it is certainly worth a look! Among the gay cast are Rupert Everett, Nigel Hawthorne, Nicholas Hytner (the director) and Alan Bennett (the film's writer). Don't worry I am not outing anyone the above mentioned are openly gay men.

This is the story of a Zack who is married to Claire. They seem to be a happily married professional couple since 8 years. Then the marriage goes on the rocks when Zack meets Bart who is a novelist and very handsome. Zack´s repressed homosexuality comes to the surface as he discovers his feeling for Bart. Bart tries to keep cool, aloof and tries to stay out of love as he has done most of his life. The wife finds out about the relationship and to see how this triangle comes out and if there is a Hollywood "happy end" you will have to first see this film. Note: This subject was very bold when it came out but now seems to have lost it's boldness but the story is still a very beautiful filmed love story and is certainly one of the films which set the foundation for toady's better films and when I re-watched this film I now know why my mother told me to get a Doctor for a lover ;-) he is soooo cute !! Also the script for this Main Stream Film was written by Gay writer Barry Sandler. Phillip |

Man
I love, the
(original French original title:
l’Homme qui j’aime)
France: 1997
Director: Stephane
Giusti
With: Jean-Michel Portal and Marcial Di Fonzo Bo
I
love the French! This made-for-TV movie is such a charmer. Lucas and
Martin are janitors at the local Aqua-world and boy are they in
love!? Yes, they are. Sadly, Martin is saddled with a girlfriend and
has a lot of explaining to do. Lucas, meanwhile, has a secret –
a very big one.
If you don’t enjoy this love story, you
probably hate movies in general. The balance between comedy and
pathos is just right. Wait till you see Lucas’mother. Isn’t
she just gorgeous? I gave this my vote in the “Audience choice”
ballot at the Oslo g/l-film festival 2003. I said it – now go
see it!
Yngvar
Alternative Review:
Man I Love, ThePool boy Martin has made no secret of his crush on attractive, but straight lifeguard Lucas. Martin’s attraction is so compelling that’s it's not long before Lucas is responding. However, when he learns that Martin has AIDS, his feeling of fear and caring confuse him. Despite his feelings, he commits himself and takes on the role as Martin's caregiver.

France: 1998
Director:
Jean-Jacques Zilbermann
With: Antoine de Caunes and Elsa
Zylberstein
Simon is a gay, Jewish musician who can’t
get a boyfriend. His mother urges him to find a girl and his
homophobic uncle promises him a legacy of 10 million francs if he
marries and has children. Simon has a crush on his straight cousin as
well.So what’s a man to do? Well – not what Simon is
doing, I hope. Simon (played by cutie de Caunes from Eurotrash) makes
all the wrong choices and I got well and truly pissed at him during
the course of this movie. I dare you to like this guy. Gay audiences
will probably be turned off by the Jewish storyline and vice-versa.
The movie is very well directed and beautifully acted, but the story
sucks big time. I felt insulted as a gay man. Re-run the Wedding
banquet or la Cage aux Follies 2 and forget this one.

Rather dumb film about a mannequin which come to life but within this film is Mr. Hollywood (played Meshach Taylor) who is definitely a swishy window dresser.

What you have never heard of a bus driver in Dublin who loves above all Oscar Wilde well here he is ! and he decided to do something about it so he decided to do a production of Salome in a church (where else ??). He first appears to have a crush on a young man called Bobby (he calls him Bosey - which was Oscar Wilde´s lovers name) but later in the movie he is after an older woman called Adele, so I guess that makes him either a bisexual or a person who can't decide what he wants. The story in set in the 1960´s so I guess we can forgive him for not making the right partner decision ! Phillip |

To his shock he becomes the Playgirl's 1992 Man of the Year which causes chaos in his and his lovers life.

I know you can't imagine a transvestite film out of Serbia - well I couldn't also but I have seen this film and although it is not a work of art, it has a good story about a ballsy transvestite who down under all the "bad" make-up - tough talk really has a heat of gold! It shows how the transvestite trys to create his gay world without the glitz and glamor of the richer cities. This is a must for gay to see how their counter parts live in Serbia. Phillip |

CHRISTMAS MR. LAWRENCE I normally do not watch films about war but I had to watch this film as there is a homosexual relationship between the Japanese soldier and his English captive (played by David Bowie). The two seem to have a very strange relationship and the Japanese soldier is more than taken by Bowie´s character. There are many hints at these feeling but the big scene comes when Bowie´s character stops the leader from killing an English soldier by hugging and kissing him in front of all his soldiers exposing the feelings he feels. You really should see the film as it is more about feelings than about sex or sexuality. Bowie is very good and the rest of the cast too ! Phillip

On his deathbed he tells Mikael that he loves him and now can die in peace since he has know a great love - sniff sniff - get out the tissues ! Oh -I almost forgot that the servant loves the master and tells in also in this film. Very Very advanced for 1924 and a joy that this film was found again and is being shown to the public again. I think the Television showing also has the sound track added to the film. The music makes quite a difference to seeing this film. Phillip |

One night Jim shot and killed Billy after a fight and this is the filming of one of the trials (there were 3 of them - I think) Anyway Jim is rich and well accepted by the well to do in Savannah so when he claimed that it was self protection and a lot of people believed him. It is very well filmed and a good thriller. There is a super performance by Lady Chablis - well know local transvestite who is now in the spot light due to this movie and even has His/Here home page in the Internet.

Romantic comedy about a 30’ish man who lost his wife in an accident, and feels very lonely. Then he meets a beautiful swedish lady (Röse), and falls in love. But the path to true love is strewn with thorns etc..etc...
Nothing really new about “Miracle”, but we rarely make these kinds of movies in Norway, and this one is rather good. There is a gay friend, Stig Henrik Hoff, playing the kind of friendly helping hand that you find in rom-coms all over the world.
Still, he isn’t portrayed as asexual, but seems to be a happy, well adjusted homosexual.
Christian
Skolmen, the lead, is a gorgeously handsome man. He is even better
looking in
real
life... Yngvar

Mirror, mirror
(original title: Lille spejl )
Denmark: 1978
Director:
Edward Fleming
With: Fritz Helmuth and Bodil Kjer
Well,
Fassbinder had a lot of transvestites in his movies, but this is
something else altogether. Lille spejl is a warm and touching insight
into the social lives of men dressing as women, both gay and
straight. The main
character is Bent (that’s a boy’s
name in Denmark, people!) who leads a double life as a factory worker
and a cross-dresser. Bent seems to be a victim of circumstance, as
his cabaret-act mother wanted a baby girl and got him
instead. A
lot of smiling through tears and brave faces in this movie. Not as
depressing as Fassbinder, though.

This is a film about the life of the gay writer Yukio Mishima. It is based on his life which was a short one as he killed himself at the age of 45. It is beautifully filmed but somehow the mention of homosexuality is not there. Worth a look only to see what IS mentioned. This could have been a great film if they had used the fact that he was a Homosexual. The film is in 4 parts - 3 of which are base on his books: A fictionalized account in four segments of the life of The Temple of the Golden Pavilion, Kyoko's House, Runaway Horses), and the forth is, "The Last Day" - when he took his own life. Oh by the way I fell asleep during part of the film but I am sure a good gay scene in the film would have woke me up! :-) Phillip |

Mr
Leather
Director:
Jason Garrett
USA:
2005: 70 mins: Documentary, Gay/Leather Interest:
Mr Leather follows nine contestants who are all competing for the title of Mr Los Angeles Leather 2003. The film gives us a glimpse into these leathermen’s homes, relationships, bars and fetish gear shops as they prepare for the upcoming competition.
As a documentary, the film is fun and sexy, the mood alternating between the taboo allure of leathersex and the seriousness of social equality for all homosexuals, kinky or not.
For those who don’t engage in BDSM or worship leather to the point of fetish, the film is a rare eye-opener to the subculture, providing insight beyond the dangerously sexy leatherbar scenes of William Friedkin’s perennially provocative “Cruising”. Recommended viewing for those who like their men buff and harnessed! Kimmy

Mrs. Henderson Presents
Director. Stephen Frears
UK : 2005 103 minutes:
With:Will Young as Bertie (his first film), Judi Dench as Laura Henderson, Bob Hoskins as Vivian Van Damm and many others:
I just finished watching this film and must say I really enjoyed it.It
is beautifully filmed and a wonderful story line about a English London
theater which opens and in order to survive they come up with an idea
to allow nude girls on stage. The reason i am listing it here is one of
the main characters is Bertie played by Will Young. He lets you know
early on that he is not interested in girls. His singing is great - the
character is gay but has no male friends and there is a wonderful shot
of him nude with a very sexy behind and a hint of the frontal.. There
are other singing boys in the theater and all look gay to me but there
is nothing said about them in the film, so have a peek and enjoy
this film - oh by the way it is based on a true story of an older rich
woman who makes it her life work to start and keep this theater going
and she finds a great impresario to help her do so. it has great
performances, is nominated for many awards and is of course a Stephen
Frears film which he directed. Phillip

P.S. Mr. Smith Gets A Hustler
Director: Ian McCrudden
With Alex Feldman, J.D. Williams, Benjamin Hendrickson and Larry Pine:
This film has a great title... and immediately draws your attention to
it. so now on to the story line: it is a film about male hustlers in
New York City who work for a very strange Mr. Lapp.and brings no fun
into their lives to counter act it there is Mr Smith who like to talk
to them rather than have sex with them.Good story line and a very
interesting one Phillip

This film would normally be just a good for a laugh and just a straight transvestite movie if it weren't for a few things. First there is the performance by Robin Willams which is just super. Then there is the performance by Harvey Fierstein as Frank the gay brother who is a movie make-up artist along with his lover Jack who helps turn Robin into Mrs Doubtfire. A good just for fun movie.

Mulholland drive
Directed by David Lynch
USA/ France: 2001
With: Laura Harring (Rita/Camilla), Ann Miller (Coco Lenoix), Justin Theroux (Adam Kesher), Dan Hedaya (Vincenzo Castigliane), Naomi Watts (Betty/Diane), Mark Pellegrino (Joe ) and Robert Forster (Detective McKnight) :
Super-sensual, slinky thriller/ mystery from the man who brought you "Twin peaks". The lesbian sex-scenes, with the two leading ladies making out, are so hot it's unbelievable!! Everyone should enjoy it for those scenes. The plot is very confusing, but try not to care and gawk at the gorgeously handsome men and women instead. This should look sensational on DVD. Billy Ray Cyrus, of all people, pops up in a cameo as a bed-hopping pool cleaning guy. Ann Miller, the old dancing babe at MGM, is also in there somewhere. Recommended late-night movie for hip people.

Murmur
of Youth
I always have to think a lot about films from Asia. They seem to have a different pace then what I am used to but underneath they are often VERY romantic and great to watch. Murmur of Youth is one of these films. It is the story of two girls from very different social class who meet and work together. This job brings the two girls very close to each other and suddenly they realize that their closeness is not just being friends. Can two girls from such different lifestyles find real love ? Phillip

With: Conrad Crawte as Steve, Martyn Sanderson as Dad, Heather Lindsay as Mum, Terry Bacon as The Man, David Telford as Shop Assistant Don Kjestrup as Mr. Slater, Heather Pitt as Aunt Irene, Peter England as Construction worker and Di Boles as Woman in ad:
This is a short film which revolves around Steve a young boy who is about to go to a special school dance. His parents who are separated put a lot of pressure on him and this also involves on which one will pay for the rent of the suit and which one he will get to where. As the film moves along you discover that Steve likes guy and although still in the closet he knows this.
I guess that in order to add a little comedy to this film the guy who works in the Suit clothing store is a very femme older gay guy....So although Steve parents want him to be happy and straight he knows he is about to come out at some given future time. Phillip

He gets the guy called Paul America who is quite the hunk and Hood and his friends all want to get the guy into bed so they bet on who will get him first. The photography is typical Warhol and the dialog seems to be made up as it goes along but I enjoyed this film despite it´s Warhol tricks. Phillip

This film has really only one real reason to see it and that is that River Phoenix and Keanu Reeves are in it ! River plays male prostitute called Mike and who has a sickness called "narcoleptic" (he often falls asleep and is not able to control this condition). Keanu plays the son of the Mayor of Portland called Scott who seems to be bisexual and certainly has feelings for Mike. They decide to leave the city to find Mike's mother and have "boring" adventures together. There are a few sex scene but one needs a slow speed video to make out what is happening (and even then only thick glasses might help). The only interesting part of the movie is when both Mike and Scott are both attracted to Bob. The rest of the film shows far too many boring shots of houses - roads - and sky shots and not enough of Rivers and Keanu. Then there is the fact that this film is based loosely on William Shakespeare play Henry IV (or so they say) and all of a sudden the actors start talking free verse. I do not understand this film at all but you make your own judgment. Anyway River Phonix and Keanu Reeves are at least sexy to watch - when they are on the screen ! Phillip |

Summer of Love
Director Pawel Pawlikowski
UK: 2004: 83
minutes
With: Nathalie Press, Emily Blunt, Paddy Considine, Dean
Andrews, Michelle Byrne, Paul Antony-Barber, Lynette Edwards, Kathryn
Sumner
I really enjoyed this movie but found it frustrating
at the same time, you'll know why if you watch it! The story revolves
around two teenage girls from very different walks of life and their
'Summer of Love'.
Local misfit Mona (Natalie Press) is searching
for more than what her small town can offer and is yearning for the
relationship she feels she has lost with her brother who has become a
Christian. By chance she
meets Tamsin (Emily Blunt) who is
wealthy, bored and an imaginative storyteller. The two girls'
friendship quickly turns to first love and we follow their journey of
exploration. I found the characters, particularly Mona to be very
quirky with an off beat humor. Knowing that the leads were both in
their debut roles, I thought they did a wonderful job and gave
excellent performances.
