Conversion Therapist
Posted on 31 October 2020[“Conversion Therapist” is just one of the horror shorts from my “7 Halloween Shorts for 2020” post. To view the other shorts, head over to THIS post!] I’m on the fence about “Conversion Therapist”. On one hand it feels like they are trying to include any and every little queer bit they can think of into what should be a simple abduction/torture storyline. It ended up suffering from having too much happening that the strong…

He Could’ve Gone Pro
Posted on 22 December 2021[“He Could’ve Gone Pro” is the third short of my “7 Queer Christmas Shorts for 2021” post. To read the next review, “Jangle”, click HERE. To read the previous review, “The Postie“, click HERE.] Wow. “He Could’ve Gone Pro” may not be a queer Christmas short film that you watch to get into the holiday spirit, but this one makes a powerful impact! With an almost artistic film vibe, the film begins subtly. However after…

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 Drama Films
Posted on 1 August 2023Last year, I shared my list of five Queer Drama Films. But if you recall, I had a difficult time picking only five dramas to make the cut. To be fair, there are TONS of amazing and worthy queer dramas to choose from. So this month we’re going to revisit the drama genre with five MORE Queer Drama Films that are worth watching! If you missed that post, I highly encourage you to go check…

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 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 Horror Films
Posted on 1 October 2021Murders, and Demons, and Clowns – Oh MY! It’s time to get spooky! Just in time for October and Halloween, these five Queer Horror Films are sure to get your heart-racing! Well – that’s what a GOOD queer horror film should do. While all five of the films this month definitely fall within the horror genre, they aren’t all good – Sorry! The trouble is that true queer representation within horror is still a rather…

Queer News Films
Posted on 1 February 2023I’ll be the first to confess – this month’s theme was a tricky one to plan! Sure, it’s easy to find a list of queer films & shorts that IMDb includes under their News genre. But the bigger question I had was: what makes a queer News film DIFFERENT from a queer Documentary? According to IMDb, films in the “News” genre are defined as: “Reports and discussion of current events of public importance or interest….

Queer Thriller Films
Posted on 1 September 2022Just in time for Halloween, this month’s theme is queer thrillers! Murders, political games, terrorism, and more all unfold within each of these five films. Each have certain elements that make them all great films to watch – however, while they all list themselves as a queer thriller… one does not match the others. Is it actually a thriller film? Hmm… To be fair, when I selected this month’s films I had only seen three…

Tonight It’s You
Posted on 31 October 2020[“Tonight It’s You” is just one of the horror shorts from my “7 Halloween Shorts for 2020” post. To view the other shorts, head over to THIS post!] Wow! You go to watch a horror short film and expect something horrific. But the “twist” in “Tonight It’s You” was NOT at all what I expected – I was pleasantly surprised !(And equally caught off guard – which is even better with horror films!) Let’s dive…

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…
