| Should you get the chance, you're going to want to see Holding Trevor. It has Jay Brannon in it, if that's an inducement. |

This sounds like it could be good...
Quote:
Interview: Sex, surveillance and gay royals
Surveillance is a fast paced sexual and political thriller set in London.
It stars Tom Harper as Adam, a gay teacher who lives in Surrey and comes to London on the weekends to go clubbing and pick up men.
A casual encounter with a handsome stranger, Jake (Sean Brenden Brosnan) brings Adam to the attention of powerful, unseen forces. They rob him of his job and follow his every move. Suddenly, Adam's life is a mess, and he’s in serious danger. But why him?
Then Adam discovers that Jake planted on him the only evidence of an affair with a gay royal. When Jake is found dead, Adam is forced to go on the run.
Director Paul Oremland shot the film using surveillance media techniques, such as CCTV, web cam, mobile phone cameras and video recorders.
PinkNews.co.uk spoke to Tom Harper about his role as Adam.

None of them new, but...
Moments of Gay Movie Magic
Quote:
When a recent GayNZ.com competition asked: "What's your favourite LGBT-themed movie?" the responses got our memories jogged, and piqued our interest in a few we hadn't heard of before.
Here's just a few inspiring selections for the next time you're wandering the aisles of your local video vault.
Angels in America
Tipping the Velvet
Beautiful Thing
Hedwig and the Angry Inch (though this clip is better) |

| I will vote for "Beautiful Thing", in a heartbeat. I loved it. It made me shed a tear, which is not (necessarily) an easy thing for a movie to do, especially if it's a tear of happiness. |

That line made me cry when I saw it in the theater (good thing too -- it was only in town for a day or two at most... I think the projectionist must have glanced up at some point and noticed what the film was about).
No need to apologize for not hyperlinking. I LIKE looking things up. I had only heard of "Jeffrey" and I wanted to see if there were any clips lying about. Voilà! There are. |

It's a wonderful movie and play. You have it all in that story. The pain of loving in many different ways, gay bashing, gay adoption, questions over whose love is real love...gay or straight...its an awesome amount of brain food to consume. |

Quote:
Eytan Fox has not simply witnessed a radical, queer-friendly shift within his home country of Israel in the last decade; many credit Fox's films themselves with a large part of the change.
The celebrated gay director and writer's new film The Bubble pushes boundaries even further by not only examining gay life in Tel Aviv, but also taking on what may well be considered an even more shocking stigma: the love between two men, one Israeli, one Palestinian, in a country where a century of hatred —rooted in sovereign territory rights —deeply divides the two lands.
