Sad but Lively gay film from Japan
+ Interesting
+ Homosexuality in a Japanese context
I have seen this movie so many times. The strange relationship of a gay couple and a female (okoge) is truely sentimental. This story does reflect the truth of gay males in Japan lively. They are coming out more though. I love the screen of drug queens fought against guys who made fun of them.

I've read the 22 reviews that exist as of this writing (june 2006). I am so glad the the majority of reviewers have appreciated this amazing film from Spain. There are plenty of spoilers in the reviews and I wouldn't want to rob new viewers of the joy I had in the story unfolding. It was a ...

Different for Girls is good for everyone
+ Kudos!
+ COOL
This is a film from 1996 but don't let that put you off. It is standing the test of time. It is about Kim, a post operative trans-sexual and Paul, his/her mate from school. Karl/Kim was bullied at school for being gay, in reality he was a she in a male body. Paul protected him. We see that in ...

Lucas Me Queria a Mi 3 reviews
Esperanza Roy, Jordi Mollà
Venevision, 2005
Silly, hilarious fun!
+ Very Funny
What an enjoyable comedy! The plot is so far-fetched, the acting so over-the-top, and the script chock full of delicious camp, that the movie is a joy to watch. Best friends, Dani, Toni and Carlos all fall head-over-heels in lust with their new roommate, jealousy comes between them. But Lucas isn't ...

Amazingly good!
+ Satisfactorily Exceptional
Some of us remember what it was like "coming of age" in the mid 1980s when everyone was terrified of HIV/AIDS, and coming to terms with whether we were going to let our fear ruin our enjoyment of sex and intimacy was not a small thing. This was the first movie I ever saw that acknowledged this, ...

Picture This, 2001
Impresionantes actuaciones
+ Coming Out Is So Very Hard To Do
+ Square Peg for only Round Holes
Aunque casi llegando a la pornografía, las actuaciones de Santiago Magill y Christian Meier son magnificas y bastante creibles. La adaptacion propiamente de la novela de Jaime Bayly es un poco exagerada, pero creo que conserva la esencia de la narración. Esta película muestra como la intolerencia ...

Great Film....
+ From party animal to deep commitment

I bought the film Bent very recently because I like very much Clive Owen. This is a great film. A good example on how our mind is free and superior to any barrier or boundary. A love between two persons is always beautiful...
It's also a very sad film because shows a piece of our history that we ...

Director Tommy O'Haver seems to have been unable to choose between making Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss a no-nonsense romantic comedy or a Fellini epic. (Check out the excellent director's commentary, where he mentions Fellini's Fellini - Satyricon as a potential model.) Whether this is a ...

dazzling!
+ Fantastic!
+ neo-noir with vulnerability
Perhaps this is the most unforgettable film I have ever seen;
the performances (most especially by the twins--Noriega/Sbaraglia)
are simply mesmerizing. The story is unusual and beautiful and exciting--
so snatch it!
