Gay Themed

When you read the synopsis of the movie you feel like this movie would be worth a watch. Dennis is a new inmate. Mike is an older black inmate. Together the two face hostile prison officials and inmates in their attempts to become a loving couple. Sounds interesting; doesn't it? But the overall result is a disappointment. The movie is dark and comes straight to the point. Dennis come to prison for credit card fraud. The good looking young guy that he is, the prison inmates star harassing him and a group of 4 wanting to get into his pants. But Dennis has his eyes on an American prisoner Mike who are in separate cells on different floors. The story shows how Mike and Dennis try and sneak into enjoying each other's company. How they against odds try and be together. There is whole lot of frontal male nudity and man to man sex. It can be easily termed as a soft porn including a gruesome rape scene in prison. The performances are very ordinary. Overall the movie just did not leave a...

I was thinking whether it even makes sense to write a mini review of this documentary which was aired on Channel 4 in UK, but then I thought at least it will help me keep a record of gay based movies or short films that I have seen. This one primarily talks about lives of some old gay men who came out when it was illegal to be a homosexual. It primarily talks about 3 couples. First one have been together for 44 years and are looking to get married in a months time now that gay marriage has become legal. Second is about this guy who is married, out to his wife for past 2 years and claims to have had sex with about 800-1000 men in this time ever since he came out. He still lives with his family, has excellent relation with his son and talks to him about his dates etc. He is not looking for any steady gay partner and is happy with his flings. The third couple is a old 50+ guy living with a young 20s student. Odd couple because people confuse them as father-son but they are very much in l...

First a few facts. This movie was made in 1982. So we need to remember how conservative the society in general was at that time and how easy or difficult was it for being to accept their sexuality. Zach, the doctor and Claire, a successful TV producer are a happily married couple for 8 years. Their is such an amazing chemistry shown between the couple that they seem just perfect. This is until Bart, a novelist walks into Zach's office and arises in him the long-repressed feelings of attraction towards other men. Zach kepts getting drawn to Bart who for some reasons want to keep a distance from him. As Zach starts spending more and more time with Bart, Claire starts assuming him haing an affair with a woman. Not being able to handle it anymore, Zach comes out to Claire and after initial shocks and fights, they both get used to it. Bart was never meant for Zach. In the end its shown that both Zach and Claire and happily settled with thier respective partners. Story sounds so simple b...

Now this is one movie about which I am confused as to whether I liked it or not. The movie has been directed in a very unconventional manner. The story is very simple. Unable to marry his girlfriend, Filmmaker Sebastian finds himself 30-years old and never in love. On his quest to finding..."The One!", Sebastian turns to friend/tour guide Daria who introduces Sebastian to her sandbox of gay co-horts and the adventure of his life! Here starts the the movie going into flashback scenes about every individual friend of Daria talking about every possible gay sex form. They all go to a big Hollywood party and our straight Sebastian finds himself navigating through the uncharted waters of Hollywood, sexual politics and getting trapped between Mr. Big Time and...Toilet Man? Ultimately Sebastian and the Nig Hollywood man are shown making out together for looooooooong time and being happy. The movie wasn't bad but there was nothing very special about it either. It didn't bore m...

Glenn is tired of one night stands and is looking for something meaningful in life. He has his group of friends and they hang out together. He answers to an ad in newspaper put in by Adam who is looking for LTR. Glenn answers it and the guys start going out together. They seem to be completely into each other and look perfect until one day Adam tells Glenn something about him. (Now this was the most funny scene for me in the movie). Anyways, issues keep coming one after the other but both of them look forward to making the relationship work. With all odds creepipng in, they finally manage to be together with support of their friends and close ones. Overall I found the movie was funny and romantic. Considering the fact that it was made on a low budget, this one turned out to be a good treat. Both the lead actors I thought were very good looking and made a good couple. It was a little cliched to show Glenn's straight girlfriend supporting him at all times but then I guess every gay g...
