This is the story of
George a teacher who is gay. He has just had a break-up with his lover
and needs a place to stay. He ends temporary at Nina´s apartment and
then ends up staying. Nina has a boyfriend but when she gets pregnant
she soon realizes that he is not the right one for her or her future
baby She decides that George is the right one and soon falls in love
with him even though he is gay. The two try to work out a
relationship but George soon learns that he is not cut-out to be in
that relationship and know that he could be a good father but not her
lover. Phillip Note: I watched this film twice in a few days as the first impression was that I did not like the part about the girl falling in love with the gay and the gay trying to fall in love with the girl but in the second viewing I realized this part of the story takes only only 15 minutes but that the rest of the film is a must see ! Watch the film and judge for yourself ! The actors in this film give excellent performances. |

This is one of the more progressive Hong Kong films and traces the lives of three gay men. The three have been friends since they were boy and now share an apartment. The three are quite different. Hoi is into picking up men and then dropping them. Fa is having a depression as he has just broken up with his lover. Kau is a flaming queen and nicknames Miss Kau. All seems perfect for a really good script till it takes a change for the worse. One becomes a heterosexual (how that works I do not know !). One finds out he is HIV Positive and does something terrible. Only the third friend comes out OK. A little depressing but with this much gay content a must see. Phillip Note: Films from Hong Kong are really well done and tackle gayness very well but they still have a way to go as they seem to be locked in the old Hollywood style of killing off gays or making them turn straight when the "right" woman comes along. Too bad as this film had everything to make it a really good gay film. |

UK: 1996: 35 Minutes.: Gay:

One of them
Director: Stewart Main
The time and place is Auckland New Zealand 1965: Jamie and Lemmy hang out, listen to love songs on the radio, joke about poofters and homos and even try to "out" one of their own teachers at school. When they see a handsome guy, they stare at him, but can't admit that they find him attractive. This is a strange coming-of-age film from the director who made "Desperate remedies". We really get to know Jamie and Lemmy,__________________________________________________________________________________________

This is a 3 part
mini-series made for BBC-TV and is the story of Jess who is a young
Lesbian and in the process of her coming out but standing in the way is
her mother who is a “domineering Evangelist”. The filming of the
book by the same name is well done and I guess it is due to the fact
that Jeanette Winterson not only wrote the book “Oranges Are Not the
Only Fruit” but the screen story also. Phillip |

ORIGIN
OF AIDS, THE
This film is another one in the list of films which try to trace the origin of AIDS. In this one it is thought that is came from a polio vaccine (in the 50´s) try out in Africa by Belgium, French and USA. It believes that the blood used was animal and tainted. I am not sure we will ever know the orgins but i am sure there wil be more films trying to probe where it came from. Phillip

Hum what to say about this
film. I could say the script is based on a Virginia Woolf 1928 novel,
which is rumored that the main character is based Woolf's Lesbian
lover, Vita Sackville-West. Tilda Swinton stars as Orlando, who is
keeps coming back as different sexes and in different times Phillip |

OUR
FATHERS
This is a VERY WELL MADE tv film with a large great cast. It is another one about the Catholic church and child abuse. It also tries to show the difference between a pedophile and a homosexual which is often thought by the straight public as the same thing. Phillip
Note: there are other films about this subject such as 'The Boys of St. Vincent' - also reviewed in Movies TOO Gay

James and Donald are lovers. Donald is sick and dying from Aids. James has a good relationship with his mother Audrey Grant (played by Julie Andrews) whereas Donald and his mother Luanne Barnes (played by Ann-Margret) have not talked for years. James goes to his mother and asks her to go to Fayetteville Arkansas to tell Donalds mother that her son Donald is dying. When they meet the two women couldn't be more different or come from different backgrounds. One is a successful business woman and the other is of the working class and just as in real life the educated business woman is able to accept her son being gay where as the working class mother just can not accept it. The meeting of the two woman is great cinema and the performances are top and this in a mode for television production - this is a first class production. How it all works out I won't tell you so see the movie - but one interesting thing to note is that Hugh Grant plays the gay James ! Phillip |

Outing Riley
Riley
is an Irish Catholic man, with 3 brothers and a sister. He is also
gay, closeted to his family. He thinks they won't love him anymore if
he told the truth. Only his sister knows, and she is doing everything
in her power to out him.
Now, this movie was actually quite
good... Directed by the man who won the "Project greenlight"
TV-series, Pete Jones has made a funny, old fashioned,well acted and
scripted film. The story has constant surprises:
There is a scene where Riley is spying on a naked girl which is accompanied by a voice-over saying: "Well, I became a voyeur long before I was gay!" Michael McDonald (from MadTV) plays Riley's boyfriend, with a solid helping of mascara to underline his character's gayness.Yngvar
