Malaysian born director Yen Tan has made several gay-themed films, but he’s certainly getting a lot more attention for 1985, the feature-length version of his own 2016 short film. Indeed, following its first film festival screenings, it currently has a 100% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
The 16mm black and white movie follows, ‘A closeted young man goes who home for the holidays and struggles to reveal his dire circumstances to his conservative family.’ As you may have guessed by its title, 1985 takes us back to a world that was just hearing about HIV and AIDS for the first time, and where gay people who were just taking there first steps towards acceptance were suddenly faced with an immense, terrifying and largely unknowable threat.
A very good cast includes Cory Michael Smith, Virginia Madsen, Michael Chiklis and Jamie Chung. The movie is due in US cinemas on October 26th. No UK date is currently set. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Miller and Kate McKinnon.

If all had been as we were first promised, we’d have been watching Sin City: A Dame To Kill For on 2006. But for various reasons the film was delayed, to the point where many had given up hope. Now it’s coming and we’ve got the first full trailer.
When Sin City was released in 2005, we were initially told two sequels were incoming and they’d both arrive within a couple of years. However its only now in 2012 that cameras are finally starting to roll on a second movie, Sin City: A Dame To Kill For.
