Slaves to the Underground (1997)
Mmmmmmmmmmmmm!
All I really have to say is, more please. This movie had a cool sound track, good character detail, managed to tackle complex issues while leaving enough room for the viewer to have an opinion, and unlike more dated genre work such as "Go Fish", this movie is well into the young dykedom of today's world. The philosophical moments in this movie are tinged with the bitter-sweet taste of reality, rather than myth. And I do not understand why the film was cut for broadcast on terrestrial TV in Britain. It seems we still have a very long way to go concerning the establishments. However films like this are helping to pave the way.
Bound (1996)
Raaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!
Finally a really good piece of cinema that I am not merely watching for it's dyke appeal. Not only are the two central characters dripping with sex appeal they are also superbly portrayed and swimming in detail that is matched only by the quality of the screenplay and its direction. The plot, a string of endless complexities and twists, is brilliantly executed through the energy and pace that is generated. The simplicity of the set allows these intricate details to live. I would have enjoyed this film even with out the gay content, as it is, what a lovely bonus! Gina you inspire me. It is so refreshing to see this movie be so mainstream. Corky's proud!
Go Fish (1994)
I love you Guin, but really...
"Go Fish", at first glance, appears to have all the elements of a good dyke film; good writers, great background, and above all a rather scrumptious leading lady. So why, then, did it fail to even moisten my appetite? There was no energy in the piece. I found myself creating my own little stories in my head to keep me occupied while I watched good material being drawn out to its maximum, and therefore losing all appeal. There was simply no pace, no excitement, and it seemed to me very dated. Guin, please, drag us into the twenty-first century, I know that you are capable of it. And this time, find a gorgeous girl to do it with?
