student, Colin Higgins, Patricia Hodge as Ballet teacher, Lloyd Lamble
as Mr
Crisp, Tanley Lebor as Mr. Pole, John Rhys-Davies, Joan Ryan as Mrs.
Crisp,Katherine Schofield as Mrs. Pole:
-
- Not
very often is a gay biography filmed but the life of Quentin Crisp was.
He was
ahead of his time and dressed and acted the way he wanted to be - very
swishy
and almost as a women. He had the courage to go out into the normal
life this
way and thus was a crusader before the gay movement. This is well
filmed and
there are great scenes - especially the one where he is dressed up as a
women
and all the sailors are flirting with him. The film traces his life
from a very
early age to old age. He is still alive and now living in New York
City.

The
Ornette Coleman Trio:
-
- This
film title is taken from the novel NAKED LUNCH: which was written by
William
Burroughs- although the story is nothing like the book. It is about
Bill Lee
(Peter Weller) who was an exterminator and became addicted to the
pesticides
used in his work to kill bugs. He hallucinatiates throughout the film.
He
accidentally kills his wife and must go underground to avoid the
police. Not
really a true adaptation of writer William S. Burrough's life story and
drug
addiction novel but a very strange story and hard to explain due to all
the
hallucinations mixed into the story including lots of oversize bugs.
This film
is not my cup of tea - oh well if you like horror films you might like
this one
I did not ! I rather watch a heterosexual Si-Fi film !

-
- I
was very surprised at how good this film is ! It is from the BBC in
Scotland
and is one of the newer gay films which are really good. This is the
story of
Tom who is a younger man with Aids. He lives in London with his older
lover Ira
who is an American. The two share an interest in music as one loves
music and
the other works at a Radio Station. The illness is getting to him and
his
memory so he decides to go to Glasgow and visit his family (he has not
been to
see them for the past 10 years). His family does not like his lifestyle
and
only his mom is nice to him. The visit goes bad from the beginning and
shows
the stupidity of a smaller city and their hatred of anything different
then
them. His brother Ian and his family are terrible to him and so his
lover Ira
comes to get him and take him back to his real family - his friends in
London.
Tom takes a turn for the worse due to this visit and like magic he gets
better
and has a reprieve. The relationships in this movie after really well
defined
and the love relationship is a stable good one. This film is a must on
your
lists to see !

-
- I
really enjoyed this film as it is about a gay school teacher who is in
the
closet and looks in all the wrong places for love. His day to day
struggle with
gay life and being a teacher is very realistic. There is a wonderful
scene when
he comes out to his School class. Rather outdated music and disco's but
gay
life is shown through his eyes and finally he discovers that a person
close to
him is not all the bad !!

- Directer:
Jochen Hick
- Germany:
2000: 108 minutes: filmed in English with German subtitles: Gay Aids
Thriller:
- With:
Tom Wlaschiha, Irit Levi, Jim Thalman, Richard Conti:
-
- I
am a bit bias about this film as I feel in "lust" with Tom Wlaschiha
who plays Dr. Stefan Hein. He has everything a "Euroboy" should have
and more :-). and that accent in English melted me - wow !!!
-
- But
now back to this film, It is a well made thriller about a Dr. Stefan
Hein who
is a quite young research Doctor and had come to S.F. to prove his late
fathers
theory about Aids having been made in the lab as a Bio-weapon by the
Americans
in the 70´s - ok ok - we have heard this all before but that
doesn't stop this
film from using the theory in an interesting way.
-
- When
Dr. Hein (or Stefan as I will call him from now on) arrives in S.F. and
presents this theory and then proceeds to try and prove it - there starts a chain of
murders happening to
men with long time aids.
-
- Your
are not able to guess who did the crimes as the plot goes in many
directions -
from government agencies, to an opera lover killer of the opera
Turandot and
then to the gay sex clubs. Stefan dominates the film and (lucky for me)
is in most
scenes of the film. I will not spoil the end for you but right up till
almost
the end I did NOT know who was doing the killing !
-
- The
sex scenes are handled hotly between Stefan and the nasty guy who does
not want
to be his lover. The S.F. photography is very good and the look at the
California sex club scenes are hot and interesting. Then last but not
least the
very good performance of the Inspector Louise Tolliver (played by Irit
Levi and
who has a voice which will cut at your ears) helps makes this movie a
MUST see
new film.
-
- This
film is very definitely worth going to .... So take your friend, your
lover or
sex partner and enjoy the 108 minutes of this film... I loved every
minute of
it....

review:
- Stefan,
a young gay medical student from Berlin, arrives in San Francisco for a

congress and is following the trail of his dead father, a once high
ranking

incidental result of secret human experiments that were conducted in US
prisons
in the seventies. Secret lists involving these biological experiments
have
apparently surfaced in San Francisco.

- No
ordinary love
-
- Director:
Doug Witkins
- USA
1994
-
- Closeted
landlord Kevin lives with his weird tenants, an orphaned teenager, a
male
stripper and a girl playing in an all-girl rock band. Another tenant
has
recently died in a drunken fall. None of these people pay rent.
- Kevin's
mum, who owns the house, threatens Kevin with eviction if he doesn't
get some
paying tenants who can help her meet the mortgages. Fat bank clerk Ben
is
recruited as the missing tenant, and all seems well...
- Then
Vince, the teenager, develops a crush on his latino friend Ramon, while
Andy,
the male stripper, comforts Ramon's slutty mother. Ben, meanwhile, is
not what
he appears to be, and Kevin marries the female rock singer to please
mommy,
even though he is still in love with the dead tenant. Kevin is one
stupid guy.
- Then
things turn nasty...in a very strange way..
- Trying
to outguess this script is patently impossible. No ordinary love plays
like
something written by John Waters, directed by Andy Warhol/ Gregg Araki
and
produced by Aaron Spelling, on a shoestring. The totally unsuitable
music score
leans heavily on Dallas, Melrose place and those icky Chris Columbus
comedies.
Swirling violins, moody pianos and "funny" pizzicato music whenever
fat Ben enters the picture.
- The
plot is so scrappy it falls apart early on. A lot of interplay between
the
characters, sure, but nothing is even vaguely related to anything else.
The
"acting" is brutally bad. The schizofrenic mood never settles. From
crime-caper to tender love story via melodrama and mystery back to
social
critique and satire on family life.
- No
ordinary love has one thing going for it: It's never dull. Terrible,
yes, but
never dull. I would choose this over any Chris Columbus movie, anytime.
And -
it's a gay movie, as well. Sort of. I could never figure it out.

Bailey
as Beatrice Chambers Tamara Dobson as Audrey, Redd Foxx as Ben Chambers
George
Furth, Jayne Meadows as Adele, Barbara Sharma, Vernee Watson-Johnson as
Melody
and a guest appearance of Wayland Flowers and Madame:
-
- It
is the story of Norman a black guy who is 23 and his lover Garson who
is a very
cute swishy queen live together but the parents of Normal (played by
black
stars Pearl Bailey and Redd Foxx) do not know that their hunky son is
gay. The
father comes for a visit and then the mother also causing lots of
trouble for
Norman and Garson but also lots of laughs for the audience. I really
liked the
film and in the end (in spite of all the laughs at the gay lifestyle)
the gay
couple wins in the end. So just see the film - remember it is 1976 and
have a
good laugh.
- Note:
this film is from 1976 and tries to do a balance act between laughing
at gays
but at the same time offering looks into a gay stable relationship (as
this was
made in 1976 don't expect any kissing or affection) although there is a
very
funny scene in bed. It was also one of the first gay films to show an
relationship between a black gay and a white gay, which was very
progressive at
the time. Don't be too critical and just have a watch.
- It
took films like this to break the ice for the modern 1990´s
gay films.

- With
: Bruce La Bruce, G.B. Jones, Caroline Azar. Laurel Purvis, Kate
Ashley, Klaus
Von Brucker, Gloria B. Jones and Klaus Von Buecker:
-
- This
film was a big surprise for me. It is a very low budget film but with a
very
interesting story line. It is the story of a gay punk hairdresser who
picks up
a gay skinhead (yes you read that right !) and they explore their
sexual
preferences with each other. The hairdresser really likes the skinhead
but the
skinhead is afraid of the relationship and goes to his lesbian sister
to talk
it over. The sister says this is the best thing that can happen to him
and he
should go back to the hairdresser - if he talks her advice - you will
just have
to see the movie !

- No
way out
-
- USA:
1987
- Director:
Roger Donaldson
- With:
Kevin Costner, Gene Hackman, Sean Young, Will Patton
-
- Tight,
well-made thriller in the Hitchcock mode where Costner plays a navy
officer
working for the American Ministry of Defense. He is wrongly accused of
murdering his mistress, and has to prove his innocence before the law
closes
in. It's difficult to reveal the gay content without spoiling the
suspense;
let's just say this film shows that gays have infiltrated even the high
offices
of the Pentagon! A must see for the sexy performance of Costner alone.
This is
a underrated movie.
