Rain Beau’s End
Posted on 21 February, 2023Back 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…

Shared Rooms
Posted on 24 December, 2019Note: 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…

Too Cool for Christmas
Posted on 22 December, 2021[“Too Cool for Christmas” is the second film of my “5 Queer Christmas Films for 2021” post. To read the next review, “The Christmas Setup”, click HERE. To read the previous review, “Anna and the Apocalypse“, click HERE.] “Too Cool for Christmas” is not actually cool – in any way. This made-for-TV film is a bit of a weird fit within the queer niche.

Visions of Sugar Plums
Posted on 8 December, 2020This Queer film review is part of my “Queer Holiday Film Reviews for 2020” post. “Visions of Sugarplums was on my contenders for last year’s Top 5 Queer Christmas Reviews, but it didn’t quite stand out as strong as the films I actually reviewed. But this year I’ve decided to revisit this older film. Between reading over my notes and rewatching it this year, I cannot deny the truth – this film is bad, like…
