Heterosexual Jill (VoD Review)

Heterosexual Jill is the semi-sequel to Michelle Ehlen’s 2007 film Butch Jamie. That earlier film is a kind of reverse Tootsie, where actress Jamie tries to get work as a butch lesbian and ends up being cast in a male role. That leads to a liaison with Jill, who thinks Jamie is a man.

However you don’t need to have watched Butch Jamie to enjoy Heterosexual Jill. The film catches up with Jill five years on. She’s now decided that she wants to be straight and so has joined an ex-gay group in the hope of leaving thoughts of luscious ladies – and most particularly Jamie – behind. [Read more…]

The Gays (DVD/VoD Review)

After watching The Gays I had visions of extreme right wing nutcases handing copies of the movie around and using it as evidence that everything they’ve always said about gays being deviant, sex obsessed, demon-possessed and keen to turn kids homo was all true. The film will certainly not win awards for political correctness, but it does have its moments.

The movie follows the Gay family – father Rob, transvestite mother Bob, and their sons (born through an anal pregnancy) Alex and Tommy.  As you might expect, they are the absolute extreme of homosexuality, with the parents teaching their kids how to seduce their teenage friends, giving them rim job GI Joes for Christmas and causing general same sex debauchery.

Written, directed by and starring Matt Riddlehoover, Scenes From A Gay Marriage follows Darren, a man who’s rather lost in life. His only job is growing a beard and taking photographs of it for a strange man on the Internet (who pays him $200 a week). That gives him plenty of time to pine for both the relationship he lost and the man he moved across the country for – only for that man to move back to where they came from.

Spending most of his time in his small apartment, he passes the hours listening to the ups and downs of the relationship of his neighbours, whose arguments, conversations and noisy lovemaking comes straight through the air ducts. [Read more…]

It’s always a bit odd when you first watch a filmed recording of a stage production. Initially it’s difficult to escape the feeling you’re watching it in the wrong medium. However if done well you quickly forget that what you’re watching was designed for a theatre setting and can just enjoy the show. Thankfully that’s very true of this filmed version of the 20th Anniversary Production of Jonathan Harvey’s Beautiful Thing.

It was shot over two nights in May this year at The Arts Theatre in London, and is now available for online viewing & download via Digital Theatre. [Read more…]
