Summary: 5 Stars
Great examination of friendships and loves among a group of gay men. They are more a family unit than just friends. Great script and some wonderfully wry performances.Movie Review: very great movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is very good but pretty sad in the end tho. I couldnt say for words about this movie so I figured I would give this 5 stars!!Movie Review: A gay "Steel Magnolias"
Summary: 4 Stars
I would not say this is the very best movie I've ever seen, nor would I say that these are "typical" gay people (most of us tend to be a lot more boring and a lot less well-off than the characters presented here) -- but this movie does have a lot to offer, including a spectacular performance by John Glover (who, in John Jeckyll, creates a character one can really get down and "hate"!) and an empathetic performance by Jason Alexander, an HIV-positive camp queen who manages to find love in the OTHER character played by John Glover (James Jeckyll, the saintly brother who is dying from AIDS). Anyone who has lived through an intense sibling rivalry which went berserk and egos took on lives of their own should be able to relate to the dynamics of John and James Jeckyll.
The most poignant scene in the entire movie is towards the end when each character depicts how and when they died -- and especially from the vantage of the one who was left (the one who owned the house) who buried them all.
Movie Review: A film that focuses on middle-aged gay men
Summary: 4 Stars
An interesting film that revolves around a group of middle-aged gay men who are struggling with aging, past regrets, and their livelihoods--all while simultaneously dealing with their own romantic issues. The actors give accomplished performances, even though the men sometimes sound and act the same (however, what can you expect when they all arise from the same social background and cultural group?). The film actually reaches its emotional gist by the conclusion, implementing a voiceover technique that pries into each character's psyche.
