ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Sanjeev Waters A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

bkoganbing Before the end of Longhorns all four of the macho frat guys from the University of Texas get down and naked and show their gay side. The only one comfortable in his sexuality is the Latino student Derek Efrain Villanueva who is out and heads the campus gay organization. But he's also the happiest of the lot.Longhorns begins with a sex scene as Jacob Newton is getting ridden hard by some coed and we see he's fantasizing about being a mechanical bull being ridden by some fellow Longhorn. Doing some tutoring is Villanueva and I have to say he is one seductive young man. Believe me seeing Newton and Villanueva took me back a few decades and I know exactly how Newton felt fulfilling what he really wanted.It doesn't happen all at once though and Newton is still trying to keep up his good old boy image. Turns out that his friends Dylan Vox and Stephen Matzke are also doing a little sexual exploring when some promised females don't arrive.And big man on campus Kevin Held might be homophobic, but he does need a passing grade in English.Longhorns is a gay youthful romp through the Reagan years in that bluest of states Texas. You could probably make the same film now and date it as contemporary, attitudes have changed a bit, but it's slow.And this review is dedicated to the late Donald 'Butch' Buchecker of Consohocken, Pennsylvania who made it right for me.

Foxbarking Honestly, I only watched this movie because I think the lead actor is a pretty hot guy. I expected it to be terrible, and I thought I would be upset at myself for watching a movie just because a guy in it was hot. But although I came to it for the looks, I took away from it a very heart touching movie that I know I will watch more than once again.It probably doesn't hurt that I have known somebody who was a bit like Kevin and I actually thought it was cute. These are the guys who will do anything to seduce you and then blame you for the seduction, saying things like: "It wasn't my fault, you shouldn't have sat there looking so cute." And although I find it somewhat annoying, I did not feel that way about Kevin. Here was a guy who really did not believe his actions made him gay because one of the models of masculinity he had was a gay guy overcompensating.Quite a few times Kevin's action made me cringe. But there is a scene where he is on the phone with Cesar and it just melted me heart. This happened also when he gave Cesar back his ring. This movie brought tears to my eyes several times. It is a beautiful movie and I totally recommend it. Although I watched it so see a cute guy, I found a cute movie.That being said, you can't blame me for you watching it.

Anne Under I was honestly not expecting too much. This was obviously a low-budget, indie production, so I readied myself for all the inevitable flaws that this usually entails.I was pleasantly surprised: the production values weren't incredible, but they were definitely better than one might expect, the script was smart, touching and funny, and the acting was much better than I anticipated, especially the two leads. I think what particularly worked for me was the humor, it added a nice, knowing wink to the loveliness of this little gem.This is the story of a Texan "all-American" boy at college who seemingly conforms to the stereotype in every way back in the early 80's. When he meets an openly gay student, he has to confront himself for the first time in his life. Or does he?

Suradit A cast of unexciting, not especially good-looking actors, most of whom would not make the cut in an audition for a high school play, certainly complement the mediocre, sophomoric story.All the indoor scenes appear to have been shot in various rooms of a $5 a night motel and one suspects their rental expense probably consumed most of the production budget.The standard over-worked components of a gay-themed movie, homophobia, state of denial and self-revelation, are played out awkwardly, are totally unbelievable and generate no emotion other than acute embarrassment for all concerned, especially the viewer.This might have been cutting-edge 40 years ago, but these days there is no shortage of well written, superbly acted and beautifully produced movies dealing with all aspects of gay life. This oeuvre is to 21st century gay-themed movies what Amos & Andy would be to modern Black cinematic entertainment.Even worse, it appears to have been mistakenly labeled a comedy. The comedic highlights include: (a)One of the characters has given names to his three house plants and (b) The same character unintentionally wears blue jeans on Wear Blue Jeans if You're Gay Day. I hope revealing that didn't spoil the hilarity for anyone.Don't bother.
