Soft Lad (2015)

Ugh....Aren't there any positive gay movies out there.

[6/10 · 4 February 2016]

It is so hard to find any positive gay role models in film today. The lead character, David, is certainly not one of them. The premise to this movie was intriguing at first, but then after watching the story played out you realize how selfish and totally repugnant David's character is. I mean come on, he's sleeping with his sister's husband and gets mad because he won't leave her for him. I felt no sympathy for his character. At least with the husband you know what kind of man he really is....a douche bag. It was Suzanne Collins portrayal as the betrayed sister and wife, is what saved the movie for me. You really felt for her. To be betrayed by the two men that she loved above all others and then given HIV by the bastards.....OMG. I can't even imagine what a person would be feeling, but she nailed it. what an outstanding performance. Overall, I found the film to be adequate with a nice plot twist and good performances, but I'm still waiting for a film that doesn't make the gay characters into horrible people. At least in this film they didn't throw in a couple drag queens, a sex party, and some stereotypical effeminate dudes. There's a plus I guess.

Playing with Dolls: Bloodlust (2016)

I don't what movie they are talking about

[2/10 · 3 February 2016]

I just watched the movie and the plot synopsis is totally wrong. It is not even close. This isn't a movie about vampires. There are no supernatural beings. This is a low budget(I'm thinking 500 bucks) slasher flick that is based on a reality show. The acting absolutely atrocious and that is from everyone involved....no standouts here. It just goes on then dies......the movie doesn't even have an ending. It was horrible from beginning to end. I can't believe I watched the whole thing. I gave this movie 2 stars just because I have seen worse, not much worse, but worse nonetheless. If you want to give it a shot, go ahead, but don't say I didn't warn you.

Jeruzalem (2015)

film would have been OK if it wasn't for Sarah

[3/10 · 29 January 2016]

This movie had so much potential. The premise was OK, if not just a bit too convoluted. And there wasn't very much explanation, so you're kind of disjointed. It was almost like there were two different directors for the first and second halves. It seemed to be going in the right direction, but then just went from bad to worse. I believe if they would have just killed off Sarah at the beginning of the movie, then things would have been alright. Every other character was likable,and not a douche like Sarah, but instead we had to suffer through the whole movie with this needy, snivelling, annoying, I'm gonna get everybody killed because that's what I do, character. I couldn't even enjoy the film because I had to fast-forward through all of her whining, self-righteous bull-crap. So that was pretty much the whole movie. Thanks a lot Sarah. If you can stand a character like that and have some time to kill, then go for it. Otherwise, don't regret it like I did, and find another movie.
