Is It Just Me? (2010)
Tender, heart warming, fell in love with it
This one pleasantly surprised me. I am a sucker for the romance films especially when the characters are honest, capable of showing true tenderness, even though they are acting. And this film did not disappoint.
Along the lines and similar to the 'Eating Out' series of films, with the sweetness of 'Latter- Days', this film was fun and a pleasant treat.
I really liked how Blaine (Nicholas Downs) played his role. His acting was amazing and refreshing. Full of heart and soul I fell in love with him at the start of the film and he carried me through to the end.
And then there was Xander (David Loren) This is the first time I have seen him on camera and he captured my heart as well. Besides being incredibly cute with the sexiest accent, this kid can act! Wow, he really played his character with such honesty.
These two were truly exceptional and amazing actors. Not discounting the other characters. This film had just the right amount of sexy and sweet. Blaine's roommate is gorgeous!
If you are into romance with a comical edge, you must see this film!
And if you happen to be alone single dreamer, hoping, wishing for that first or next love, may this film help you see that true love is not about who you are, what you look like, but what's inside that counts.
Strapped (2010)
A refreshing and amazing change from the typical
I love 'gay themed' indie films. But so frequently the story line is a drag, the characters often fuel those stereotypes about folks who lead alternate lifestyles.
In addition, I often find the acting to be blasé.
Such was not the case with Strapped. This is by far, one of the most beautifully written and acted films I think I have seen in awhile.
Newcomer Ben Bonenfant does an amazing job as he plays a young hustler 'finding himself' in a crazy mixed up world called 'life.' He is sexy and tender in this film and truly breathes life to the various facades he puts on as he 'hustles' his way lost through an apartment building.
The parallel of him being lost in this building and being lost in life really weaves an amazing balance as the story unfolds.
I truly was mesmerized by this film and felt it really was very well written, directed, and acted.
In fact I would add, I truly fell in love with all of the characters who each played their roles perfectly and well acted.
An excellent sexy but tender film.
