The London Critics' Circle presented their awards over the weekend.

Precisely. How in the world did they nominate the film in so many categories without nominating the man who is in every scene and is the beating heart of the film? It's mind-boggling.

Somebody, please, make it make sense.... :confused:

I know the feeling. I made the mistake of watching the new Blu-ray of Lie with Me after this week's episode and just wanted to curl up in a corner when it was done. Not that it's a bad film. Au contraire, it's quite a good one. But its sad reflections of what-might-have-been along with the...

It wasn't on Amazon when I ordered it several weeks ago. And I'm fine paying a few more bucks directly to the producers as a sign of support. It's not exactly a rosy picture of long term relationships. Perhaps that contributed to your friends' hatred? I personally think it's one of the best gay...

Blu-ray News! Verve Pictures has now released a Special Edition Blu-ray of the gay rugby film In From the Side. Their previous release was barebones, whereas the Special Edition comes loaded with extras, including two commentary tracks (the director and the lead actors), 3 featurettes...

Finally! Coming in March 2024 from BFI https://shop.bfi.org.uk/beautiful-thing-blu-ray.html

Vinegar Syndrome partner label Altered Innocence just released the East German film Coming Out (1989) on Blu-ray. https://vinegarsyndrome.com/products/coming-out The only gay film made by the East German state film studio, it was filmed on location at gay bars and hangouts in East Berlin...

Showtime has released a new trailer for Fellow Travelers.

A trailer for All of Us Strangers has been released. It looks incredible - and there's a lot more of Andrew Scott & Paul Mescal (together) than I expected to see.

Jumping to the top of my watchlist: All of Us Strangers, the new film from writer/director Andrew Haigh (Weekend), premiered last week at the Telluride Film Festival. It stars Andrew Scott & Paul Mescal as high-rise neighbors who become involved and Jamie Bell & Claire Foy as Scott's...

Premiering September 16 on the Hallmark Channel: Notes of Autumn. It's time to once again tune in to Hallmark to watch everyone's favorite "Bro", Luke Macfarlane. In his first gay role for the channel, Luke is paired with Peter Porte (Dashing in December)...

I wrote the above last November and just found out that XYZ Films (a partner label to Vinegar Syndrome) will be releasing Hypochondriac on Region A Blu-ray later this month. It will be available either with a limited edition slipcover or in a standard edition. Special features include deleted...

An opposing opinion: I really disliked Giant Little Ones, but I have to go into spoiler territory to explain why. It's been a few years since I saw it and I may have a different take on it now. I have no desire to revisit it, however.

I saw Of An Age in the theater yesterday. This may prove to be a strange review, for reasons that will soon become apparent. For the first half, I really disliked the film. I suppose the director, Goran Stolevski, was going for a Cinéma vérité look, so everything was shot in extreme...

I always like to share info about any upcoming gay-themed films. There are a number of potentially interesting ones ahead. Opening this week, is The Blue Caftan (Le bleu du caftan); Morocco’s official entry for Best International Film at the 95th Academy Awards. It concerns a couple, Mina &...

Ben Aldridge has been on my radar since I saw him in Fleabag, but I couldn't bring myself to see Spoiler Alert. It sounded like such a downer, especially since it was based on a true story. Hopefully things will go better for Ben in his next movie Knock at the Cabin, which opens next week...

Reminder: Gay rugby film In From the Side will be getting a theatrical release in the US starting tomorrow, Friday January 20. Even though I have the UK Blu-ray, I have already bought my ticket for this weekend. Can't wait to see it on a big screen!

I didn't feel that bad for Ibra. He seemed to view Alex primarily as a f-buddy, until That was a huge move in their relationship (after, what, a couple weeks?) and, if I were Alex, I probably would have headed for the door anyway. Also, Ibra is young and hot and seems to have no problem...

I received the Blu-ray of In From the Side from the UK yesterday, so I took a break from watching holiday films to pop it in my player. WOW. I had so much anticipation and it did not disappoint in the slightest. In fact, it immediately found a place on my "Favorite Gay Films" list (as well as...

Well, I just finished watching The Holiday Sitter and I must say: I was really surprised. It was actually kinda good! There were some clever interactions, somewhat believable situations, intelligent development of characters, and kids that weren't totally obnoxious. I didn't feel like I was...

The same could probably be said about the typical, straight Xmas romances. I've only seen a couple, but they don't aim very high either. Once they think of a premise (kids, cats, candy stores, etc.) and cast attractive leads, they're good to go. I will continue to watch any gay-themed ones...

Following on from Mark-W's post above, I wanted to point out that Jonathan Bennet will be in a new Hallmark movie this weekend and, unlike the two Christmas House movies, the main relationship in this one will be GAY. Yes, Hallmark has finally made a movie that does not feature a heterosexual...

I ordered it from vivaverve.com, too. It was only £15.00 plus £4.50 shipping to the US. Comes to about $23.00, which is probably less than what Strand will eventually charge -- if it even gets a Blu-ray release here.

In From the Side has been on my radar for months. Unfortunately, it is not available to stream in the U.S. and is region-blocked on UK VOD sites like Peccadillo. (I guess I could try messing around with a VPN, but sometimes that doesn't work either.) Also, I cannot find any information about...

I've got a good one for you all: Wildhood, currently streaming on Hulu. Link is a biracial young man who runs away from his abusive father when he discovers that his Mi'kmaq mother is not dead as he has been told. Accompanied by his younger half-brother Travis, he sets off on a journey to...

I watched a gay film last month called Hypochondriac. (It's available digitally. There is no physical release that I'm aware of.) Will is a young, gay, Hispanic man, who works in a pottery studio, has a boyfriend, and seems relatively stable. But when his mentally-ill mother reenters his...

Luke sounds like he may be done with Hallmark. https://etcanada.com/news/925714/luke-macfarlane-on-what-might-be-his-last-hallmark-movie-i-think-ive-told-my-story-for-now/

Keep an eye out for In From the Side. Currently making the festival rounds; theatrical release in the UK on September 16. Two men in a gay rugby club must conceal their adulterous affair before it leads to the collapse of the delicate social and political fabric of the club.

I've been watching a lot of gay-themed films this Pride month. Some I own, some I've streamed, and some I've checked out of my local library. So far I've seen The Acrobat, Benjamin, Benediction, Constellations [filmed play with Russell Tovey & Omari Douglas], Cowboys & Angels, Departure...
