A late 80s video from Seabag, Dirk Yates' outfit in San Diego, which tries for once to go beyond the usual sailor/US Marine-on-a-weekend-pass scenario to take a look at the behind-the-scenes of the gay porn "industry". In other words, this is another of those casting couch films, quite literally in the David Ashfield scene. Rodd, Rick's cousin, just graduated from high school, has watched his relative's videos and he is convinced he's got what it takes to "make it big" in gay porn. Beside Rodd's letter to Rick that we see at the beginning, the whole film is narrated by the voiceover of one of Rodd's "buddies" (who's probably 20 years his senior). The final chance meeting of the two (they've been staying at the same hotel and run into eah other in the "all-male spa") is particularly anticlimactic due to Rick Donovan's as per usual limited range: he is the only one not to suck cock in this movie.
While it is more than established that Halston’s life is far from a fairytale, the narrative suffers as a result of the decision to revolve more around sex and drugs than his artistry, it likely does a disservice to his cultural impact by pulling focus from his achievements.
The more we learned with each passing minute the bigger the reveal. This film ends with a serious bang and it was truly a joy to watch.
The 'Shaft' remake fails to capture blaxpoitation's rebellious spirit.
'Jaded' is a film that focuses on the decisions that can derail our lives. Zanna's story takes you through a wide range of emotions.
"THANK YOU, Zach Creggar!" Back in 2022, this now established star in the horror film genre gave us the quirkily creepy, unexpectedly funny (at times!) cinematic gem that was "Barbarian". It felt like a cool breeze just washed over us as, for ONCE, the much traversed roads these films tend to go with got an upgrade of uniqueness without sacrificing the ambiance of uneasiness you desire.
This comedy brings a big surprise to Josh and his family when they move to New York City and struggle to adapt to their new friend.
