[“The Christmas House” is the third film of my “5 Queer Holiday Films for 2022” post. To read the next review, “The Christmas House 2: Deck Those Halls”, click HERE. To read the previous review, “Happiest Season“, click HERE.] Back in 2020, Hallmark created QUITE a stir after first promising a gay holiday film in their annual Countdown to Christmas lineup, then “forgetting” to include it when the released the lineup – before finally caving…

It’s Lesbian Visibility Week!!! But wait… what IS Lesbian Visibility Week? The entire week is dedicated to celebrate lesbians, promoting solidarity with all LGBTQ women and non-binary folks in the queer community. Interestingly, it was originally celebrated during July West Hollywood from 1990-92. However in 2020, backed by Diva magazine, the weeklong celebration was moved to coincide with Lesbian Visibility Day, an annual celebratory day in the UK for lesbians on April 26 that itself…

Last year only gave us three new queer holiday films, which was quite the downturn from 2021 where we had a slew! Thankfully, there’s a couple more queer Christmas films premiering for 2023. The queer holiday film oeuvre has simply exploded in the last decade – and it’s amazing to witness. At this point, there’s just about a queer Christmas film, short, or series for everyone to enjoy. We actually have quite a wide variety…

‘Tis the season to deck the halls, make ourselves a cup of hot cocoa, and cuddle up by the fire while watching classic Christmas films! Well… I’m actually trying to stay cool and not get sunburn while getting ready for the Christmas BBQ – while singing Christmas carols in jandals… ? This holiday season will be my second Christmas down here in New Zealand, but I am still not sure I can adapt from the…

“Reality-TV” and “Film” usually do not go together. Which is something I discovered with this month’s theme – despite Reality-TV being a legit genre. Reality-TV shows are typically more a TV/Web series rather than a film, and a film that has a “reality-TV’ genre is quite frankly just a documentary. So what exactly is the difference? And perhaps the bigger question is: does a queer reality-tv film actually exist? I’ll confess that this month’s queer…

Back in 2021 when “Rain Beau’s End” had its premiere on Lesflicks, they asked me to write a review. Even though I watched and made my notes, life intervened. As a result, this review has been on the back burner since. However, I must confess that part of the reason for the delay is that I dislike writing a review for films I didn’t actually enjoy. Writer/Producer Jennifer Cooney tackled a very specific and unique…

Note: This movie review is one of the films in my Top 5 Queer Holiday Film 2019 “Shared Rooms” is another queer holiday film from director/writer Rob Williams, the first being #2 on my list, “Make the Yuletide Gay”. While it might seem odd that I would place this film at my #1 spot, despite having a lower ranking and a few more flaws, the reality is that they both are at the top of my queer…

It can’t be easy to release a film when half the world is in various forms of lockdown, cinemas are closed, film festivals have gone online or postponed, and no one has worked on projects for half the year. It’s even more challenging when you’re an independent film trying to make your debut like Sergei Alexander. However, despite these extra hurdles, I feel like “Your Eyes On Me” will quickly gain traction – because it…
