I have not blogged about movies lately, although I did come across a few good ones for the past few months. Some B-Grade USA gay themed films are seriously going to kill the gay industry, but for now, thank goodness we have a few nice ones.

I like "Is It Just Me?" No, it is not a first-class production - a movie to match Brokeback Mountain, Bent or Torch Song Trilogy, but it is feel-good gay themed film to match Trick, Latter Days or Jeffrey.

Blaine finds it difficult to find the right guy. Most gays he is aware of is into sex and hunky guys. So, he is not exactly fitting into the picture. It does not help either that his housemate is a drop-dead gorgeous hunk, who has man after man coming in for a tasty supper.

So, when Blaine bumps into Xander at the cafe, and then later on in the cybercafe, it is a challenging task for Blaine to face his insecurity, especially after a tough obstacle is placed in his path to be closer to Xander. Xander thinks that Blaine's hot housemate, Cameron, is Blaine.

I like this movie from the start. The acting is not Oscar-level, but still, it is not pathetic where it turns off the fun of watching this light, love story. The storyline is alright and the chemistry is great. Now, if only we can get Cameron off this movie poster so that the real focus of the show will be only on the two lovable Blaine and Xander.

A young guy faced problem of coming out to his family, causing him to have problems with his lovers. Left alone to be with his family for vacation, the young guy found an unnexpected companionship with his younger cousin.

Not to sound like I am insulting a group that I am beginning to like, but I have not known of H.U.N.X. before, which was a collaboration group of Hunx and His Punx and Teengirl Fantasy. Found this on Youtube, and decided to share it here.

The famous song by Bonnie Tyler from the movie Footloose in the 80's was a song talking about a woman yearning for a man to be the hero to save her. To have Emery singing this gem is a good treat.

Man, we all need a good manly hero. Kindly ignore the senseless screaming of Hero at the end. :(



Where have all the good men gone and where are all the Gods?
Where's the street wise Hercules to fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream of what I need

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
he's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
and he's gotta be fresh from the fight, fresh from the fight

Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It's gonna take a Superman to sweep me off my feet

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
he's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
and gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light
He's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life,
Larger than life

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above,
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I would swear that there's someone somewhere watching me
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
and the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach like the fire in my blood
Like the fire in my blood,
Like the fire in my blood,
Like the fire in my blood,
Like the fire in my (ohh ohh)

He's a big city kid in a small town,
They said he couldn't do it,
He knew he had to.

I think it is so cool that there are two songs with the same title - Johnny, Are You Gay? The first one was covered live by the Go-Go's, which was sang again by Josie Cotton. I like that song, and I am finding myself fond of the second version now... by The Hillbilly Moon Explosion.



He has never tried?
What's his problem?

Johnny are you gay?
You are so good looking
but something is in the way
When I look in your eyes
Johnny you mean so much to me
I waited so long for you to set me free
so I ask myself each day
Johnny are you gay?

I have put off watching Dostana (2008) for quite some time. I did not feel any big hoo-ha to rush and watch this film for the simplest reasons - recycled idea and somehow, I had this feeling that the movie would belittle the gay community.

I was right, to a certain irritating extent.

There were claims made that this was one Bollywood movie that crossed over the taboo subject and how it would bring a great excitement to gay communities in India, as well as the gay communities in other countries which had hoped to see something good from Bollywood. 

It is funny how people forget the famous Fire (1996) where the news centered on the lesbian kiss scene. Dostana was definitely not the first gay themed from India - namely My Brother.. Nikhil (2005), anotther irritating gay themed film The Pink Mirror (2006), Yours Emotionally (2005) and Mango Souffle (2004).

Why did I even watch Dostana? Watch the clip below. That was the ONLY good reason.



Why I did not like Dostana? I did not understand why Abhishek Bachchan was chosen for this film, opposite such a good hunky factor - John Abraham. Abhishek could hardly open his shirt, because John was doing that already for almost every scene near the beach. It was like a inferior product struggling not to drown, standing beside the gorgeous John.

Dostana banked on a recycled story - guys pretending to be gays in order to be near gays, or even to get a rented room - Think even the classic Three's Company. As well as the others - I Now Pronounced You Larry & Chuck (2007), Partner(s) (2005), Three to Tango (1999) etc. But Dostana did the crime of painting gays as sissies, who walked and talked like girls, giggled like girls and.. and.. basically were softies. Did the director and screenwriters do any research before producing such crap??

Neha, who was supposed to be the girl the guys fell in love with, would have won the award as the most air-headed fag hag in the world? At least with other movies of such nonsense theme, there was decency for the gay pretenders to share one bed. Here, the two guys took two separate rooms. Wasn't she even curious how many times the supposed gay couple made love? And how the two guys would casually walk into separate bedrooms when they came back from outing together... Oh yeah, don't even get me started on her strutting her stuff in front of the guys at the beach... And why was she often in the middle of the two guys?? What was her agenda? Separate guys all the time, whom she thought to be lovers?

Point is.. the director movie is an idiot.

I am too upset with the film. To console myself..


Warning! Don't watch this unless you are okay enough with the topic on aging.. You know, the one about growing old and everything around you seems to stay young, and wanting nothing to do with you.. Yup, that agingtopic. ;p

No words needed. the gay short film conveyed the message well where we belong.
