17 sui de tian kong (2004)

This year's sweetest gay movie from Taiwan - maybe all of Asia

[9/10 · 30 April 2005]

Innocent boy sees then meets jaded boy. Jaded boy becomes unjaded. Familiar story but with a sweetness that can make even a tired old queen believe (again) in the power of love at first sight.

The supporting characters are truly funny and resemble many I've met in Asia. Even though the version I saw had 15 minutes of lost subtitles (?!?!?!?) the message was still clear.

I saw this at the Miami Gay and Lesbian Film Festival. There was an error in the program. This movie is from TAIWAN not Thailand. But a lot of the charm that was part of Iron Ladies (from Thailand) can be seen in this film.

Not a deep film but certainly worth a see.

Come Undone (2000)

Even in French, too much artsy, not enough else

[3/10 · 3 November 2002]

The good news . . . a couple of good looking guys romp around naked and speak French.

The bad news . . . there was very little story to tie the romps together.

I graduated university with honors in film studies. This one is way too artsy for me, even if it WAS in French ! ! !

The Blair Witch Project (1999)

Awful - At 82 minutes, it's 81 minutes too long

[1/10 · 6 August 1999]

What were all those critics thinking when they reviewed this movie? I was in a full theatre to see this movie, and at the end, the audience was literally stunned to silence at how bad it was. I only heard one positive comment, and I think she thought she would be unfashionable if she didn't like the film.

Although I like edgy films, I think a serious fraud has been committed on the movie going public with this one.

It's almost pornographic - no redeeming social value.
