Just Ask Him
Posted on 6 April, 2023Ah, the teenage crush of our fantasies! For many, it was one of the jocks. The ones that everyone dreamt about – yet few got to have. For me, it was one of the only other openly gay guys in school… I digress, BUT we’ve all been there. We’ve all had a crush on someone who we didn’t even know was gay – and sometimes didn’t care. And that’s perhaps the thing I enjoyed the…

More “Kinda” Queer Christmas Films
Posted on 1 November, 2022In 2020, I shared my Christmas post that stirred up a bit of discussion: Christmas Films that are Kinda Queer. Having rewatched most of these films since then, I stand by my decision that all of those films are only KINDA queer Christmas films. But there actually are even MORE films that meet the same criteria! Which is exactly why this year’s post was needed. But first, let me refresh you on what defines a…

More Queer Comedy Films
Posted on 1 March, 2023Last year I shared five Queer Comedy Films – all FIVE of which are incredible comedies! But it’s time I make a confession… I had quite a difficult time paring down a rather long list of amazing queer comedy films to just five. I simply couldn’t! Somehow I managed to select just ten films. I listed them by IMDb’s rating, and only shared the first five in last year’s post. And now it’s time to…

More Queer Romance Films
Posted on 1 January, 2023‘Tis the month of love & romance – it’s Valentine’s Day! Time to get bombarded with pink & red hearts, Cupid’s arrows, and outbursts of love. While not everyone is ready to enjoy this commercial holiday, it can be hard to ignore the allure of romcoms or romantic films. (For those of you looking for something different, unfortunately this post isn’t for you). If you’re after some great queer romcoms, you can check out this…

Popping The Question
Posted on 11 February, 2023Writer/Director Shawna Khorasani asked me to review her short, “Popping The Question” back in 2021 when it premiered. Unfortunately that was right when I decided to take a break from writing reviews and then suddenly, it’s 2023 – Whoops! Now that I’m getting back to writing reviews regularly, it felt right to give this lesbian short film a watch. Now when both the film’s title and the synopsis alludes to a proposal, we know what’s…

Queer Action Films
Posted on 1 July, 2021When you think of what defines an Action film, certain images or scenes come to mind. Car chases, gun fights, battle scenes, and more. In fact, in order to claim the “Action” genre tag from IMDb, a film must contain “numerous scenes where action is spectacular and usually destructive. Often includes non-stop motion, high energy physical stunts, chases, battles, and destructive crises (floods, explosions, natural disasters, fires, etc.)” Oh, and there has to be more…

Queer Adult Films
Posted on 1 April, 2023Today we’re venturing into a bit of a grey area… Queer Adult Films. I’m sure with those words alone, you’ve got a certain kind of film in mind. But wait – Michael, are you actually going to review THOSE kinds of films! Nope! While many folks might not see the difference, there actually is a subtle distinction between queer adult films and porn. So what makes a film an “Adult” film instead of just calling…

Queer Adventure Films
Posted on 1 July, 2022This month’s themed films were a mixed bag. I must confess that when I’m seeking for films to include within each month’s theme, I try to focus on the higher rated films – even if I have not yet watched the film. With some genres, this is even harder to narrow down because there are many great queer films; some I actually struggle to find ones that fit. I actually had only seen one film…

Queer Biography Films For Pride Month
Posted on 1 May, 2023It’s nearly June, so you know what that means, right? It’s PRIDE Month!!! Well, for folks living in the US that is! (For those of us queer folk living in the UK, Australia, & here with me in New Zealand, our Pride month was actually back in February.) During June, all LGBTQ & Queer sites will be promoting various Pride-related posts, products, etc – and many larger companies will be hoping on the Queer bandwagon…

Queer Christmas Film Reviews for 2021
Posted on 15 December, 2021Last year saw a huge surge of new Queer Christmas films – it was wonderful to see! I actually recapped the highs and lows of last year’s bunch in my earlier post: “8 NEW Queer Christmas Films Coming in 2021.” The Queer Christmas films sub-niche within the queer film oeuvre has grown exponentially in the past few years. [And thankfully that doesn’t seem to be stopping!] In fact, if I look at my total queer…

Queer Christmas Shorts for 2020
Posted on 28 November, 2020Welcome to the kickoff of my NEW weekly Queer Shorts reviews! And what better way to start off this Christmas present, but with Queer CHRISTMAS short films! Excited? I hope so – because now I have even more work to do. Kidding! I enjoy watching films, especially the queer ones. While I feel I am still developing my voice as a reviewer, I find joy bringing these queer films to your attention. While many are…

Queer Christmas Shorts for 2021
Posted on 15 December, 2021Last year I debuted my Queer Short Film Reviews for Christmas with “Queer Christmas Shorts For 2020“. Until life got in the way, I think it was a great way to kick off a new part of my site & my second newsletter – AND I gave you all some extra Christmas cheer! Even though I took a break for much of 2021 because… well, I needed a break. Given the events of 2021, I…

Queer Comedy Films
Posted on 1 April, 2022Last year I reviewed Queer RomComs. Back in February I split the genre in half and gave you five Queer Romances. Now it’s time for the other half: Queer Comedy Films! However like the trouble I had with isolating romances, I had a tricky time determining solely queer comedy films for this month’s post. After all, comedy and romance often go hand in hand together – and for good reason! But I think these five…

Queer Crime Films
Posted on 1 October, 2022Crime films are usually not the kind of films you watch to feel good. Queer crime films are no different, although when adding a queer element, the crime film generally takes an even darker turn as elements of homophobia/transphobia, cliche prison stereotypes, and included. They unfortunately are also often based on true stories; actual crimes that have been committed and are being brought to life on screen to either better explain or to perhaps clear…

Queer Documentary Films for Pride Month
Posted on 1 May, 2022Most folks aren’t too keen to watch documentaries. Instead of learning about factual events, they would rather lose themselves in a fictional story that merely entertains. And there’s nothing wrong about that! However for those willing or even desiring to delve into the documentary genre, there are actually a decent amount of queer documentary films to pick from! But first, what defines a documentary film? (Instead of a biopic or other film based on a…

Queer Drama Films
Posted on 1 August, 2022The five films for this month’s theme are QUITE a powerhouse of films! Among them, three of the films won Oscars for their performances, and another was groundbreaking in its realist and honest portrayal as the first TV or feature film to depict AIDS. Round out a cast of incredibly talented actors and actresses – this month’s films were a treasure to watch/rewatch. But what makes a film a Drama? As I hold IMDb’s standards…
