I could not for the life of me, digest codependent lesbian space alien
Looks the same (pt 4, 7 pm), a strange parody of B-movie about female aliens
from the planet Zots, who come to earth to their hearts broken in order to save
his the planet from
ecological destruction. The
film relies heavily on too familiar "fish out of water" premise,
which resembles an episode of Mork and Mindy, but it was a nice, off-beat banter
between the two guys from the agency hired to monitor the extra-terrestials.
Mangus! (Fri
4, 7:15 pm) is a campy, though cute skinny teen feature determined to play the
role of Jesus in his school production of Jesus Christ Spectacular. The
film is a permanent tribute to John Waters (who cameo of Christ), with its
white characters building debris (including Jennifer Coolidge and Heather
Matarazzo of the actor, as his mother and sister, respectively), an outrageous
plot points and lowbrow humor. It's pretty
trivial effort, but it's fun nonetheless.
The name Hannah and Hasbian (Fri 4, 9:15 pm) is somewhat misleading in that
it reduces one of the three, which leads to her sexual orientation, when in
fact, this lovely little Australian import is about much more. Install
a fully flat share three roommates (Hannah looks like it may have its origins
as a theatrical piece), the film focuses on the main character of Hannah, her
ex-girlfriend Breigh (who decides that she is now in men) and their dingbat The Man Third crazy
roommate. I
laughed a bunch of times and there are lots of little nuggets of goodness,
including how each woman manages legal understanding, unless it comes to
determine their own shortcomings relations. The
film jumps back in time as history tells Hannah and Breigh courtship and how
each woman handling the collapse. It's
a great film to look at how art direction and casting (all three wires and KO
film is bathed in the light of all gorgeous) and I would consider it one of my
early favorites of Reeling.
Finally, on Friday I also checked the Italian entry Free Guns (4 Fri, 9
pm), the prodigal son who returns to his small town, having lived the life of a
writer in Rome. His
plans to circumvent the obligation to take the pasta business families are disrupted
when his older brother beats him to strike, leaving the family for dinner and
expelled from the homophobic father. The
film beautiful in the depiction of Italian landscapes, food and communication
that bind and although not an outstanding record, it's nice nonetheless.
Saturday lineup includes Green (Sat 5, 5 pm), a story about gay wrongly
accused of sexual harassment of one of his male students at the same time
harboring a secret (hint: think, George Michael), that he concealed from his
longtime friend Cheyenne Jackson (who smokes hot).
The
film stages heavily on cliches of Hollywood (a janitor at the school is
terrible, all amenable to the city in fear and turn away from a pair), but it's
great to see how Ileana Douglas and Julia Ormond (as lesbian lawyer) in
supporting roles.
Also on Saturday in a documentary Wish Me Away (Sat 5, 7 pm) on the removal
process is country singer Chely Wright. On
the one hand, Wright came out has its fair share of tear jerk moments,
including her refusal to pray against gays, as a little girl and convincing
herself she should not say a prayer right, but I enjoyed the film more as a
warning tale about the toll that fame exacts about the private lives of celebrities. This
does not mean the film has weaknesses, but the best 90-minute video, it is
better for young people strangely stuck in the Bible belt, I can not imagine.
I had the opportunity to meet with former Chicago actor Adrian Gonzalez and
tell him how much I enjoyed August (Sat 5, 9:15 pm), a fascinating love triangle
set in Los Angeles during the unprecedented heat in summer. Although
the room looks like another piece of weird eye candy film festival, August
legitimately tense film about relationships, dates and broken hearts. All
three wires in circulation (watch Daniel Dugan) and the Mariachi-inspired
soundtrack rachets up tension. I loved it.
Sunday has several outstanding recordings, including the entry of Great
Britain Night Watch (6 Sun, 1 pm), post-war drama about a love triangle between
three women, which also includes the story line for the conclusion of a gay man
and straight couple. Based
on the novel by Sarah Waters of the scribe, and told in reverse chronological
order, this is a great movie about a group of people who are trying to put his
life together after the horrors of the Second World War and plays like
nail-biting melodrama. I would have liked it to be a
miniseries.
Documentary Centerpiece We Were Here (Sun 6, 3 pm) paints a portrait of a
quintet of survivors of the AIDS crisis and seized the city of San Francisco in
the eighties and shot a man in his prime in a few weeks and days. The
movie has a lot of emotional centers, it's hard to pick just one, and his
influence as a piece of the history of LGBT people and a cautionary tale for a
new generation of queer youth is facing rapid growth rates of infection should
not be underestimated. This is a great
movie.
Finally, I enjoyed a fascinating, but incomplete Kink Crusaders (BC 6, 9
pm), a brief portrait of Mr. Leather International Competition held annually in
Chicago. In
truth, the life and times of Chuck Renslow IML founder deserves much closer
examination than the Crusaders proposals, which instead plays like behind the
scenes look at the beauty contest for men kinky. Nevertheless,
his voyeuristic peek into the world of BDSM is fun, especially when he turns
his lens on two strong Asian women who have already stopped the vaunted market
for skin shock value.
