Shock to the System is another Donald Strachey mystery with Chad Allen as Strachey and Sebastian Spence as his lover Tim Callahan. This time Morgan Fairchild has sent her son to “ex-gay” therapy only to get him murdered.
Kiss Me, Guido
Frankie (Nick Scotti) is a straight pizza boy / actor who moves in with a gay man to get away from home when he finds his brother having sex with Frankie’s girlfriend in Kiss Me, Guido. “GWM” = “Guy With Money”, right?
Twilight of the Golds
In Twilight of the Golds, Brendan Fraser plays a gay man whose sister (Jennifer Beals) is pregnant. Her researcher husband (Jon Tenney) has developed a method of testing whether or not the baby will grow up to be gay. Of course the dilemma comes: does she keep it or not.
Sean O’Bryan is Fraser’s lover whose athletic ways seem to finally win over Fraser’s father (Garry Marshall) when he helps him beat his tennis rivals. Faye Dunaway rounds out the cast as his mother.
The biggest disappointment is that Brendan didn’t get his shirt off, but otherwise not too bad a movie.
The Last Year
The Last Year provides a look at angst ridden gay bible college students. This was a pretty bad movie. Less than stellar acting and I hate to be heartless, but by the time someone is a senior in college, they should be able to make the decision to either keep it in their pants for another year or get a job and strike out on their own. Maybe that’s easier said than done, but. . . .
Here’s the bible school bullies (a homophobic 3 Stooges)Â that make life hell for our heroes:
Tim DeKay
Arye Gross portrays a gay artist who must leave New York and return to his small hometown to care for his ailing father in Big Eden. He finds that his straight high school crush (Tim DeKay) is still cute and maybe not so unattainable, and then finds there is an embarrassment of riches in the small town.
Bollywood & Vine
In Bollywood and Vine, Bhuvan Bannerji (Jamey Schrick) is a celebrity tour guide from India obsessed with an aging “B” movie actress Delilah Leigh (Skye Aubrey) driving his tours past her house. Delilah tries to impress her fans on the bus by dressing her gay son, Devin Leigh (J.R. Jones) up as herself from her younger movie days. Delilah locks the boys in the attic to get to know each other.
