In & Out (Widescreen)

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Gay and Lesbian
starring: Kevin Kline, Joan Cusack, Matt Dillon, Debbie Reynolds, Wilford Brimley
directed by: Frank Oz

I caught "In & Out" on HBO a few weeks ago, and I thought that it was a hilarious comedy. Finding out that it was written by Paul Rudnick, the writer of "Marci X" and "The Stepford Wives", and directed by Frank Oz. the director of "The Stepford Wives." They work so well together. The only reason why I could only give this movie four stars is because of the last scene. It was too long, and I have seen that kind of scene before. They could have changed that part a little. The best scenes of the movie come from the middle, while Kevin Kline character is becoming confused about his life.

Kline plays Howard Brackett, a high school teacher that loves his job. "It's my life," he replies sometime during the movie. He is just days away ... Read More:

Food of Love

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Gay and Lesbian
starring: Alan Corduner, Pamela Field, Craig Hill, Geraldine McEwan, Paul Rhys
directed by: Ventura Pons

OK, so why isn't Kevin Bishop a huge star. I've never heard of him before this film and bought the dvd in search of a decent gay film. Bishop's performace is letter perfect in his portrayal of a young man's discovery of the power of his sexuality in his own life and in the lives of others. The courage of the filmakers in making a film that is true to the sensuality of attraction and the duplicity of love is wonderful to see. I gave this film 5 stars because it stayed with me for days afterwards. It's nice to see a movie that tells a story with gay characters that has universal themes. Outstanding.

Swan Lake/Bourne

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Gay and Lesbian
from: NVC Arts

August 15, 2000
I don't mind the homoeroticism, I don't mind the updating, I don't mind the rethinking. What I mind is the smugness that permeates this "Swan Lake." At every step you can practically see Bourne patting himself on the back, his buttons bursting with how innovative and "new" his vision is. (His send-up of classical ballet is particularly self-congratulatory.) And is Bourne doing anything special here? Not really. Okay, the swans are male, the prince is gay blah, blah, blah. All this adds up to is a new plotline, period -- and not a very compelling one at that. The jokes, such as they are (particularly the prince's ditsy girlfriend), wear pretty thin pretty quickly. And the dancing itself is, for the most part, badly executed. The corps of swans especially ... Read More:

directed by: Peter Paige

I rented "Say Uncle" from my local Blockbuster and had to own it right away. It's a very insightful film filled with humour, a strong story-line and diverse characters. It deals with rather difficult subject matter in a very intelligent and entertaining way. My friends, family and I have really enjoyed this film and applaud Peter Paige for all his outstanding work!
