Movie Reviews of Cruising (Deluxe Edition)
Movie Review: A tribute to homophopic straights.
Summary: 1 Stars
I saw Crusing in Chicago when it came out, and after its long enough run, the number of crimes against gays in and around the larger ghettos for gays increased substantially.
After I left the theatre with three other people, we got to our car and were chased for blocks in South Chicago by very mean looking people, who at red lights shouted epithets from the film. This happened, and Crusing initiated it.
If it were a work of art,with merit, opening up issues, then the incident I went through might have been understood as insane people doing insane things.
But Crusing is not art,and,it teaches hate and promotes physical violence toward gay people; and it is shocking that Friedkin, after Boys in the Band, could make such an anti gay film, and with such awful acting.
It was and still remains one of the more shameful portraits of gays as predatory, promiscuous, and homocidal.
Avoid this film.
Movie Review: A gay "Birth of a Nation"
Summary: 1 Stars
Impossible to watch. Incredibly hate-filled. The homophobia oozes off every frame. The heterosexual world, all bright and clean, spacious, daylit, bright colors. The gay world, all dark and sordid, cramped, dark colored. Gay people, a few campy queens, but mostly leering, threatening wackos.
But the fascinating part is listening to the commentaries and watching the director and producer today DEFENDING their hatred. They actually tried to frame themselves as victims of their illiterate, anti-art protestors!
Of course you have the right to any disgusting, dehumanizing opinion that you please, but applauding the murder of gay people, or even the monsters this movie refers to as gay, is hate speech.
Movie Review: Ambiguously Gay Al
Summary: 1 Stars
I was drawn to this film because I was told it wasn't as bad as it's reputation suggests and may have been ahead of it's time. What time? The Stone Age?! Every print of this flick should be burned and banned from human consumption. I've never been accused of being a champion of gay rights but I smell class action suit here. This flick is seamy and has no socially redeeming qualities. William Friedkin's direction is clueless. Al Pacino, in probably his worst performance, seems puzzled as to how to play his character. The script is consistently incoherent. The lone saving grace in this film is Paul Sorvino's portrayal of a police captain. Run from this flick if you ever get the urge.Movie Review: Cruising
Summary: 1 Stars
The only reason worth watching is Pacino and Sorvino isn't bad either, the ending I am sure is what gets to most people as I hate open endings.It could have been way better had it not had the gay backstory(no pun intended) especially s&m and freddy mercury look-a-likes. Do I think this is representative of an actual people NO not all,Do I think it is Moral? NO. Of course that is none of my business but as long as you don't parade it around or force others to your culture(Homofascism). It get's 1 star not because I feel that it offends any particular "Minority",it only offends you if your are under that group,but because of it's meant to shock imagery and sadistic violence.Movie Review: LOUSY!
Summary: 1 Stars
This long awaited version on DVD is the worst waste of money! The commentary is SO BORING! All the director does is tell the story as it is shown,a boring voice , and makes alot of mistakes! As calling a window fan an air conditioner! The extras are also bad! Do not waste your money on this one!
