m o v i e s art. cds. movies. poems. books. links. << b a c k bang. this film,starring newcomer darling narita, is one of my favorite movies i've seen recently. i found it in the blockbuster in my town, and read the synopsis and thought i'd give it a try...and low and behold, it's one of those "grrl's kick ass" kind of "thelma and louise" kind of thing going on for itself, and i generally like those type of movies. basically, this woman is evicted out of her apartment, auditions for a role, gets taken advantage of there...and later in the day she is apprehended by a cop and is also taken advantage of. which all makes it a really horrible start to her day...until she fights back, steals the sleazy cop's uniform and goes around in his motorcycle. her day as a cop gives her empowerment and an adventure she will never forget...i really liked this one, go see it if you can find it. (btw...i just did some research on this one, and heard it only took $20,000 to make...also, production was constantly being interrupted by real LAPD heli's because they did not have permits to shoot the film...hell, if this movie was made by breaking a few laws, more of a reason to see it...) it's in the water. starting as a joke, a rumor goes around in a small, conservative town that the water is making people gay! this is a sweet film, with a few storylines, and lots of humor. the main characters involve two friends who happen to meet again and one friend reveals that she is gay.  this is one of the few "gay-themed" movies that has made me laugh (ie...billy's first hollywood screen kiss, with that flamey guy from will and grace). this was a hard video to find, but blockbuster should have at least one in its new release shelves. if you're open-minded and wouldn't mind watching a few queers get close, then hey, watch this...it's a rarity when a real (good) queer movie gets any exposure to the public...there's no graphic sex...at least by "bound" standards...watch it with "billy's first..."  in the company of men. i hated the male characters in this movie. both of them. and that's why i give a good review of this movie. it was meant for us to loathe and despise them, and the actors/director/script all worked well enough in order for the audience to hate everything about the sordid men featured in this flick. basically, these two guys have to work a couple of weeks in another city for their jobs. this one guy, i forgot his name, is tired of the way women treat him; how they are manipulative and such. so, he proposes that the both of them should f*ck over a woman while at their stay at this new city. they look all over for a vulnerable lady for them to screw over. and they pick a deaf woman who works in the same office...and the rest of the film deals with them playing with this poor, deaf woman! i hated both guys. and for bringing me to emotional edges, i give the filmmaker props...because i rarely see those extreme emotions, and they have tapped into something inside of me that people rarely touch...and because their goal was to evoke a strong response to the characters and achieved it. it's a bit slow at the beginning, but picks up after a while. the last scene just made me hate this one guy even more...the same filmmaker also made your friends and neighbors, which has an immoral theme to it also (adultery)...you hate almost everyone (man and woman)...you just have to watch it...                                                                     n e x t >> << b a c k t o m e d i a << b a c k h o m e art. cds. movies. poems. books. links. comments, hate mail, criticisms, and love letters should be directed to sue
