Film & TV Reviews
Nothing is ever more exciting and awe inspiring than watching a movie or television show that really moves us and makes us emotional in one way or another. The genre of Gay and Lesbian entertainment has been defining itself over and over again for many years, but almost always from the alternative side of the film and entertainment industry. When Hollywood does a "gay" movie or includes a gay character the character inevitably is evil, dying (as in Philadelphia) or is so totally one dimensional without any sort of real emotions.
But sometimes we come across movies that portray real human emotion and give our gay and lesbian characters real empathy and dimensions.
