1.Common Ground (2000) starring: Erik Knudsen, Brittany Murphy, Jason Priestley, Margot Kidder, Helen Shaver

VHS : Common Ground (2000)
The stories are timeless and still relevant, even though one takes place in 1954, one in 1974, and the last in 2000. It is a similar format to "If These Walls Could Talk 2" in which there are three stories from three different generations. The 1954 sequence hits home, in spite of a "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy within the armed services, because even now, a military career can still be irreparably damaged if a soldier or officer is outed. Gay youths can relate to the 1974 story, seeing minimal progress from 1974 to the present with the way GLBT young people are treated by their peers. All one has to do is watch "The Matthew Shepard Story" or "Boys Don't Cry" to witness recent cruelty against GLBT youth.

The three stories could have easily been made into full-length movies. I ... Read More

2.Philadelphia starring: Tom Hanks, Denzel Washington, Roberta Maxwell, Buzz Kilman, Karen Finley

VHS : Philadelphia
This is, by far, one of the best movies. The story is moving, and will have you in tears multiple times. Tom truelly shines, and is one of the few actors that you no longer see as a person, but as their character. Very emersed. This will also question your thoughts and beliefs, and possibly make you reconsider the next time youre about to make a snap judgement.

VHS : M Butterfly
If you're looking for a Book turned into a movie--this is it but in a very obscure fashion. This movie takes the stereotypes that Long writes about in his short novel and basically flips them around here. Here you have the American man, but it is he that is hopelessly inlove with the Asian "woman" (using that term lightly). She is the one that is full of decite and ends up betraying him. At the end, he has to realize that he, not only was abdoned and betrayed, but it was by a man. This movie had great twists and turns and also and was definetly an attention keeper.

6.Thieves - (aka "Les Voleurs") starring: Catherine Deneuve, Daniel Auteuil, Laurence Côte, Benoît Magimel, Fabienne Babe

VHS : Thieves - (aka "Les Voleurs")
Deneuve is in a subdued role in this film. She's also in a supporting role so the film cover is a bit misleading. The story is not as strong as others that she's chosen.

Daniel Auteuil is great as the cop who is entangled in the life of a trouble-making young woman. Extremely sexy in this role, he plays the role of a strong yet conflicted law enforcer well.

The film is a bit weak in its flow. It's not the worst film but it's also not extremely good either.

7.To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything starring: Wesley Snipes, Patrick Swayze, John Leguizamo, Stockard Channing, Blythe Danner

VHS : To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything
To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything Julie Newmar is a cute and funny film about three drag queens who want to be legends. Patrick Swayze is the prettiest man/woman ever! Wesley Snipes, well he isn't so graceful. This is a great buddy buddy flick, check it out sometime.

VHS : Boys in the Band
Let there be general rejoicing through the land at the DVD release of this landmark film! BOYS IN THE BAND is both brilliant, bitingly funny filmmaking and a penetrating examination of the (still) dysfunctional ways gay men cope with basic conflicts imposed by American society. Mart Crowley penned more memorable lines than any three Bette Davis films and Friedkin established a sense of place and mood in his main character's tony 1968 Manhattan apartment that is just uncanny. By the time LOOK OF LOVE plays, I couldn't tear myself away.

My upper lip involuntarily curls with contempt at the self-deception of gays who insist that we've come so far as to make BOYS IN THE BAND a tired irrelevancy. Consider the time elapsed between the making of this film and BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN. The issues raised have changed ... Read More

VHS : Female Perversions
I watched this movie on the Logo channel. They may have taken some parts out I don't know.

Or let me say I hope they took some parts out. If this was the entire contents of the movie they need to add some parts in.

It starts out ok with this cute girl who's a lawyer and other nice looking girls in that same building.

Almost immediately she starts having hallucinations about people who aren't real that sneak up behind her and choke her, etc..

Ok it's getting better I'm thinking.

But it never gets past that point. It just gets bogged down in a lot of symbolism that doesn't mean anything (at least to me).

You've got the kleptomaniac sister who steals for sexual thrills. The little boy who carves words into his skin. The model / stipper. Etc.

VHS : Victor Victoria
For anyone who thinks that Julie Andrews is nothing more than a mere song and dance routine, or the voice behind that infectiously annoying `hills are alive' song I have only one thing to say to you; watch `Victor/Victoria'. I happened to stumble onto this film last night and I have thought of nothing else since. Sure, it has yet to be 24 hours but honestly, it is the ONLY thing that I have thought of since the credits began to roll. As a whole the film is adorable, but its strongest part is none other than Julie Andrews. Her astonishing performance is quite probably her finest moment (although I am very partial to `Marry Poppins') and she chews up each and every scene with her charm and grace.

Victoria Grant is a down-on-her-luck soprano singer willing to `sell her virtue for a meatball' when she runs into the flamboyant Carroll ... Read More
