Movie Review: I feel like I should start off this review by saying that this movie isn't for the faint of heart or anyone that is even remotely prudish. The nudity/sexuality is constant. That being said, it's also an interesting film with some really bright points. Shame tells the story of Brandon (Michael Fassbender) who has built his life around lies and routine in an effort to hide his sexual addiction. All of this is unraveled when his sister Sissy (Carey Mulligan) comes to stay with him. The leads are both excellent, especially [...]

Yesterday I got the ping I'd been waiting nearly two years for. It came via Skype, from someone I'll refer to simply as G -- and not because he's even remotely gangsta. G is for gorgeous: tall (at least half a head over me, and I'm 6'1"), dark, handsome and possibly the best kisser I met in my entire four and a half years living in Buenos Aires. We never went out on an actual date, never made awkward conversation after bumping into each other on Avenida Santa Fe, or after waking up together on Saturday or [...]

Last Sunday, under the star lit ceiling of the Tampa Bay Theatre, J-Fur and I sat down to our first ever NC-17 movie, Shame . It is the story of a sex addict, Brandon (Michael Fassbender) and his inability to connect with anyone on a substantial level. He shuns intimacy replacing it with a form of debauchery that makes him miserable while distracting him from his pain. All is working according to plan until his sister Sissy (Carey Mulligan) shows up naked in his shower. Sissy also resides in a world of sexual pleasure and pain but she does [...]

If the competition wasn't exactly fierce , it was about half my age -- at least three out of five of them. Then there was Carlos, a beautiful Argentine with heaving pecs, perky nipples and an abdomen that was about two cans short of a 12-pack. The crowd went wild for him. Surely he, not me, would win Sircuit's Saturday night Bear Chested Competition. I'm still not sure what possessed me to enter. I'd had a couple of pints, so I was feeling pretty good, but it's not like all those carbs had [...]

Look, I'm no prude. As I declare by my photo to the right (I'll pause while you scroll to find it...), I'll do anything twice. Within reason, naturally. One has to set some limits. Unless you're Brandon, the New York City boy Michael Fassbender plays in Shame , which opened in Australia a few days ago to all of the expected, and deserved, rave reviews. Brandon makes me feel like a bit of a monk, and not just because of his sexual escapades. (God knows I've had my share of those). Here's a guy who [...]

Pare moda negli ultimi anni che artisti si mettano a fare lungometraggi: questo fenomeno finora ha prodotto roba del tutto trascurabile, in certi casi opere se non altro coerenti alla poetica ma che mal si adattano al formato-film ( Pepperminta di Pipilotti Rist ), in altri, esperimenti di cinema artistico “commercializzabile” mal riusciti ( Donne senza uomini di Shirin Neshat ), che se a una cosa servono, è quella di rendere evidente la differenza fra opere d’arte e prodotti artializzati . Tutto questo [...]

The Academy Awards are commonly referred to as the gay Super Bowl, and for good reason: they each represent the culmination of months of grueling, bone-crunching competition, tend to feature misguided musical numbers, and are ultimately about impossibly wealthy people fighting over trophies while the rest of us cheer from the breadlines. In short: it's [...]
Director: Steve McQueen Cast:Carey Mulligan, Michael Fassbender Cert: 18 Running Time: 99 min An average man thinks of sex every seven seconds. Or is it every three minutes? Though the details tend to vary, we’ve all heard the adage revealing mans active cerebral sex life. And like so many old clichés, it’s completely unfounded. But what if sex really was all you could think about? To the detriment of your professional life, your relationships, your ability to connect with other human beings? Artist / director Steve McQueen explores these questions with [...]

Christmas films a-coming It's too early in the month but nothing will stop them. The festive season 'feel-good' films. Looking cheesiest of all is Ashton Kutcher in New Year's Eve . Love Actually has much to answer for, or maybe it all started with Four Weddings ...blame aside, it's looking like another stinker festive-rom-com. The plot (from the [...]
