sasha_featherSo I watched some more queer movies on Netflix streaming. I think I am beginning to hit my limit.
Breakfast with Scot starring that guy from the show Ed (Tom Cavanagh). 2007. PG-13.
I loved this movie! Eric is an ex-hockey player, now a sportscaster for TV. He lives with his boyfriend Sam but is not out at work. Eric and Sam take custody of Scot, a boy who likes wearing makeup, pink t-shirts, etc. The kid in this movie is really great! Both men are uncomfortable suddenly being parents, and Eric is especially uncomfortable with Scot's unabashed gender non-conformity. But, it's a funny and upbeat movie, everything works out fine as you expect it to, etc.
Dorian's Blues
Ugh, Dorian's ManPain and Daddy Issues. Skip this one. I did like Dorian's brother, a good-natured jock who treats Dorian well, and the prostitute who wanted to be a singer. Everyone else was horrible.
Small Town Gay Bar Documentary.
I got part way into this one and had to stop. It's about a gay bar in Mississippi and was fine at first, but then it started talking about extreme acts of violence toward queer people, and gave Fred Phelps screen time. I turned it off.
The Bubble
I liked this one a lot up until the last 10 or 20 minutes. The film takes place in Tel Aviv and is about Noam and his roommates. Noam falls in love with a Palestinian man named Ashraf. It is beautifully shot and acted, has interesting characters, and I liked seeing the love affairs, jobs, political groups, and daily lives of these people. And then the last 20 minutes are like HOPE IS GONE let's all go eat worms. English subtitles.
Out these four, I can really only recommend Breakfast with Scot.

Personal Best is smokin'
Desert Hearts is a three-hankie but nice ending plus great scenery
The Book Club sounds unbearably cheesy.
