Boy Culture Details	09/24/2018 11:45:23 PM/ 90 mins	6.8 7	Comedy; Drama; Queer Themes/Interest; Romance	A successful male prostitute describes in a series of confessions his tangled romantic relationships with his two roommates and an older, enigmatic male client.	While Boy Culture is one of those boy-meets-boy, boy-wants-boy, but boy-works-hard-for-the-money movies, it pretty much overcomes stock source material to become a decent film. I enjoyed, but it is unlikely to be memorable.
Assassination Nation Details	09/23/2018 3:29:11 PM/ 110 mins	5.9	Thriller	High school senior Lily and her group of friends live in a haze of texts, posts, selfies and chats just like the rest of the world.

Jonas (Boys) Details	09/17/2018 11:32:01 AM/ 82 mins	7	Drama; Queer Themes/Interest	Following one man through two timelines, decades apart, Boys, the newest feature from French director Christophe Charrier, is a gripping and compassionate study of first love and the lingering sting of loss.	If I hadn't read it in the producer's blurb, I would have had a hard time separating now from the past. Directors/writers seem to love jumping in with overlapping "then" and "now" even before we have the characters clearly established in our minds, although Charrier uses different actors in the two time periods· Once that was sorted out, I very much liked "Boys" (or "Jonas"- whatever)· High quality acting throughout· Good camera work. Dekkoo catalogs this film as "Boys"· IMDb lists as "Jonas"·
Thirst Details	09/08/2018 6:13:40 PM/ 14 mins	5.3 6	Drama; Queer Themes/Interest; Short	Two friends go on a hike to the desert. In the desolate wilderness something hidden comes out in their friendship. From then on, the only way they manage to communicate is sexually and violently. While one of them wants more than the other is able to give, he expresses his frustration by making sure they get lost and have no water - anything to escape from awaiting reality.	Winner Best LGBT Film at NYC Shorts; WINNER Best Short at TLVFest 10.
Best Day Ever Details	09/06/2018 3:05:54 PM/ 82 mins	3.8 5	Drama; Queer Themes/Interest; Romance	David's turning 50 and having a Mid-life Crisis!

Realizing that he may only have about 35 years left, he must figure out his life to ensure happiness and fulfillment. Fate changes everything when he meets a 15-year younger man who shows him that age does not matter, and that maybe his future happiness is right in front of him.	While it's nice to see a film not based on a coming of age plot, overall the film is dull, banal, and preachy.

A thoroughly enjoyable experience· Compulsive· That it was a series was an enhancement· Looking forward to season 2.

American Circumcision Details	09/02/2018 5:02:50 PM/ 100 mins	9.3	Documentary; Queer Themes/Interest	Circumcision is the most common surgery in America, yet America is the only industrialized country in the world to routinely practice non-religious infant circumcision. Why does America continue to cut the genitals of it's newborn baby males when the rest of the world does not?	While I have not viewed the film itself, I have read commentaries· As an issue it is not something I feel especially strong about· I was circumsized at birth; my partner is not· "As a circumcised male, I find the phrase “intact” as a reference to uncircumcised men to be pejorative and offensive. I have no memories of the procedure. I grew up thinking this is how we look out of the box. An early sex partner mentioned she thought I had a very lovely scar. I was not aware I had a scar, was ignorant of the whole situation. Being circumcised has had no impact on my life at all, as far I can tell. There are some young (and older) men in the documentary who, upon reflection, have found cause for rage and recrimination toward their parents for having it done." [FT]
