I Think I Do

Think I Do is a wonderfully wacky and sexy gay screwball comedy from the maker of Pool Days one of the many brilliant short films in Boys Life.

The screwball “who will marry who” antics of The Philadelphia Story are given a gay update in this deliriously romantic comedy. Bob (Alexis Arquette - more fabulous in drag than out!) and Brendan (Christian Maelen) are college roommates whose close friendship (and Bobâ€TMs mad crush) is chilled after Bob is rejected by Brendan. Five years later, they and their college chums all reunite for the marriage of one of their former classmates. Among those in attendance

Get Real

There are all kinds of coming out; and “Get Real” touches on several … when lead character, Steven Carter (Played brilliantly by Ben Silverstone), comes out to his best friend-turned-instant-fag-hag, Linda (Charlotte Brittain), unwittingly outs himself to his crush, John Dixon (Brad Gorton), then to everyone else.

Where “Edge of Seventeen” explored the main character’s self-awakening, his coming out to himself, “Get Real” starts with Steven after he’s jumped that hurdle and is having sex in the local park’s restroom! It is there that Steven’s rollercoaster ride of love, hate, and heroism begins as by chance,

Friends & Family

Ah really enjoyed “Friends & Family”, kiddies. Ta hayuz not had a lot to laugh about with the countdown to Armageddon quickly ticking off the days; but Ah laughed until mah corset popped off.

Yeah. It plays on stereotypes and having Stephen’s (Greg Lauren) parents be FBI was just too over the top. The film is decently paced beginning with Stephen and Danny (Christopher Gartin) enjoying an evening at the opera. Howevah, during intermission they head back-stage to congratulate the lead singer as he takes his break; then demand a check to pay off

Eating Out

Eating Out is a screwball comedy harkens back to the days of Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn (who may be turning over in their respective graves with that comparison) as a hunky straight guy pretends he’s gay to get a date with a woman who only likes to hang out with gay men.

Caleb, played by hunky Scott Lunsford, just wants to meet a nice girl now after a bad experience. He goes to a party with his gay best friend and roommate Kyle (the adorable Jim Verraros of “American Idol” fame.) and spies Gwen (Emily Brook Hands) as she throws her latest gay boyfriend out of the

A Touch of Pink

Another very similarly-themed (Wedding Baquet) movie that Ah enjoyed is the much-more-recent Touch of Pink, Alim (Jimi Mistry) is a South Asian-Canadian gay man living in London with his handsome boyfriend Giles (Kristen Holden-Reid).

All hell breaks loose for the cross-cultural couple when Alim’s traditional mother Nuru (a scenery-chewing Suleka Mathews) announces a visit, setting off a frantic Wedding Banquet-esque series of events, from hiding all gay paraphernalia to having Giles’ sister pose as Alim’s fiance.

Edge of Seventeen

Sweet l’il Elmo hayuz inspired me to review a few films about coming out. Yes. Ah know, it’s late and Ah should hayuv done this on the 11th … but Ta hayuz been so busy.

Today Ah will start with a cute movie “Edge of Seventeen.” Called “The wisest, most thoughtful American film about queer youth to come along in ages…” bah the LA Weekly “Edge of Seventeen.” is as much a travelogue of early eighties life as it is about lead character, Eric’s (played with deadpan earnestness by Chris Stafford - Who hayuz not been in the acting scene since 2002) coming out.

Takes a summer job serving food

Kate Clinton - Climate Change - New CD!

In a climate when most truth is inconvenient, trusted veteran weathergirl/comic Kate Clinton tracks the rapidly changing affronts of homophobia, the high atmosphere clashing of religious and secular systems, the aftermath of hurricanes of government neglect and the low pressure of despair. Unlike other reporters, content to report from the comfortable studio of complacency, she reports in her little yellow slicker of  comedy, buffeted by the winds of war, almost blinded by the driving sleet of sexism. Based on her daily analysis, and long range study of weather patterns, she forecasts the high pressure of working for peace and that it will indeed get lighter toward the daybreak of justice. Tracklist includes Miss Construe, Guest Worker, Buckshot Lunch, Croc of Gold, [Hucka] Bee Colony Collapse, Fagadoodle, I 8 Suze Orman, and Deadline Comic.
