DVD Reviews of Boy CultureDVD Review: Great movie Summary: 5 StarsI thought this was a wonderful film - great story great cast. One of the best gay films I have watched in a very long time.
I had the honor of being able to interview the director Q. Allan Brocka and Jonathon Trent for my podcast Ramble Redhead. It was great getting to know more about this great film and it is a great addition to anyone library collection.
DVD Review: One of the best! Summary: 5 StarsOne of the best gay movies I've ever seen.. I rented from netflix then ran over to amazon and purchased... a great story line... amazing filming... overall in my top 10 favs for gay cinema.
DVD Review: wow Summary: 5 StarsThis movie is simply amazing. I laughed the entire time. I cried. I yelled at the tv. I loved it. Not your everyday gay movie. THe story line goes beyond that. This is a movie about love, trust, guilt, giulty pleasures, and oppertunities.
DVD Review: This is close to "Evian" Summary: 5 StarsA magazine columnist once wrote in a movie review for "Waiting to Exhale" that when you're dying of thirst, you don't exactly need Evian. This is how I've felt about the vast majority of gay-themed movies. Most of them, to be blunt, are crap. Supply and demand dictates that, due to the relatively few writers and directors working in this genre, that most gay-themed movies are disappointing and would never be green-lit if their audience was more mainstream, i.e., straight.
"Boy Culture", despite its generic title, is a refreshing exception to this rule. Warm, touching, sexy, and smart, this movie is a good example of gay independent movie making. The voice-over of the main character may be a bit cheap, but it's quite effective in the end. The leads are all extremely watchable, attractive, and endearing. I don't know which one of them was gay or straight, but I neither did I care. Each of them inhabited their roles without resulting to trite stereotypes, or, as insulting to me, personally, the opposite -- playing "straight". The result was that I felt that each character was a real person.
While I do not think it will appeal to the majority of straight audiences, it is simply a Must-Watch for us gays. And straight viewers with an open mind and a romantic sensibility will certainly not be disappointed.
DVD Review: Pleasant Surprise. Summary: 5 StarsI was not expecting this... from the previews I was expecting "Boy Culture" to be a mildly entertaining, yet irrelevant little film. But from the moment I put the DVD in the DVD player I was hooked.
The film tells the story of a Man named X who is a hustler by trade, but mentally sees himself still as a virgin. One day he meets a new client, an elderly man, who makes him realize that he's been in love with his roommate for years.
But what sets the film apart from the generic TLA release it the innovating way the filmmakers approached the project. The movie is film on video and without much pizzazz, but the screenwriter's decision to have the film be a self-narrated protagonist is innovating. Getting into X's head while frustrating at times, it makes you ultimately fall in love with him, and can't help but feel the charm of this film.
Description of Boy CultureBoy Culture is the candid confession of X, a wildly successful male escort. After ten years of sex for pay, X gets romantically entangled with his two hot roommates and a reclusive elderly client, Gregory. But before Gregory will agree to sex, he tells an unsettling love story spanning fifty years and dares X to try something he hasn t felt in years: emotion.
