Strapped (2010)
So far my favorite movie of the film festival...
I just saw this film today at Reeling 29, the Chicago LGBT Film Festival. It's my favorite so far and I've seen MANY good, even great, films already. This one was just... great. Ben Bonenfant is an excellent lead in this film, too. I've never seen the short he was in before this, but going to try to find it somehow.
His acting was so good, I felt like I was watching a documentary. He/we learn something with every encounter in this film. I don't want to give anything away. I'm buying it as soon as it's out - actually I'm going to see if/when it's available.
Seriously, watch this movie and you'll feel like you accompanied Alice down the rabbit hole - except Alice is a hustler and the rabbit hole is, well... use your imagination.
Skins (2007)
Skins is easily one of the best shows ever
Just finished watching the end of season 1 & 2 this week. I feel horrible that I missed out on this show when it was out originally. The writing/story, the acting/actors, and everything else was simply outstanding.
I haven't started with season 3 yet. I heard it's all new people, which I'm sure is good, but I really, really would love to see the original cast again. I know that BBC shows don't tend to go on forever, like U.S. shows - and for the most part, I like the IDEA of that. I just got so involved and attached to the characters.
Anyway, I'm a big, big fan of the show and have been highly recommending it to everyone I know. Actually, I'm going to buy it and loan it out as much as possible - it's too good not to share!
