NOTE: This review for “Beneath The Skin” was written for and published on my former Blogger.com site, using my old rating scale.

NOTE: This review for “Big Gay Love” was written for and published on my former Blogger.com site, using my old rating scale. I have kept this review as originally published, with a few minor tweaks.

NOTE: This review for “Geography Club” was written for and published on my former Blogger.com site, using my old rating scale. I have kept this review as originally published, with a few minor tweaks. “Geography Club” falls into the typical coming-out high school sub-genre of gay themed movies.

NOTE: This review of “Oy Vey! My Son Is Gay!” was written for and published on my former Blogger.com site, using my old rating scale. I have kept this review as originally published with a few tweaks. “Oy Vey!

NOTE: This review for “A Sinner In Mecca” was written for and published on my former Blogger.com site, using my old rating scale. I have kept this review as was initially published. After his film “A Jihad to Love” in 2007, filmmaker Parvez Sharma brings us a new documentary with “A Sinner In Mecca”, along with sense of fright one only expect from a horror film.

NOTE: This review for “A Very Natural Thing” was written for and published on my former Blogger.com site, using my old rating scale. I have kept this review as originally published, with a few minor tweaks.
