Blades of Glory (2007) |
|
"One of the most keenly perceptive comedies ever made about straight male bonding, fear of intimacy, and masculinity. Not to mention figure skating." | |

8/10 |
|
Brideshead Revisited (2008) |
|
"Themes of religious oppression, particularly of gay people, are especially pointed and unfortunately still relevant enough today to sting." | |

|
Cruising (1980) |
|
"Is it offensive? Yes and no. It's insensitive, certainly. And I wouldn't want my mother watching it, lest she think I've been in a sling in the meatpacking district for most of my adult life." | |

The Dark Knight (2008) |
|
"From its grim palette to its wonderfully eerie score, a departure from what Hollywood has always told us a superhero film should be ... Complex, unsettling, and rewarding." | |

Dirty Laundry (2007) |
|
"Is it sidesplitting? No, but it's cute. Is it wonderfully wicked? No, but it's got a few twists and turns. Is it a classic? Probably not, but it's an encouraging move into a new kind of gay film and a story not often told." | |

Hamlet 2 (2008) |
|
"If you're not offended easily and like good camp you'll love Hamlet 2, a joke-a minute lampoon of tortured artists with a finale that shouldn't be missed." | |

The History Boys (2006) |
|
"While the goal of our heroes may be to make it to university, the film's focus is clearly the journey, not the destination." | |

Kiss the Bride (2008) |
|
"Plot contrivances and erratic character choices reduce would could have been a frothy comedy into a confused, unsatisfying jumble that no amount of beefcake can rescue." | |

9/10 |
|
Knocked Up (2007) |
|
"A film that manages to be uncommonly thoughtful and sensitive to the complexity of its very faulted characters while still being relentlessly, brilliantly funny." | |
Brian Juergens | |

5/10 |

Love Songs (2008) |
|
"I don't know that achieving this kind of sexual freedom would be worth having to live around all these exhaustingly precocious people." | |

8/10 |
|
Mamma Mia! (2008) |
|
"Even were it not the title of one of ABBA's most beloved songs, this might just be the most aptly-titled movie of the year.Because my Mom is gonna loooooooove it." | |

The Nines (2007) |
|
"When I read that Ryan Reynolds was playing not one, but three characters in this movie -- one of whom is gay -- my ticket pretty much bought itself. They had me at 'himbo'." | |

"Shelter gives hope that gay romances have come of age." | |

Teeth (2008) |
|
"Much like Dawn's ill-fated gyno visit, a peek beneath the folds of this clever and surprisingly amusing little horror comedy holds a few surprises for curious gay viewers." | |
Brian Juergens | |
|
|
|
| |
7/10 |
|
Tropic Thunder (2008) |
|
"A very funny Hollywood story with a gay character who doesn't mince or terrify the straight characters and comes out without being punished. If only this weren't a satire." | |
