Mambo Italiano

[haldoor]

Watched this on dvd the other morning in my sickbed. The two gay leads were very nice, I must say, and there were some lovely scenes with them. I love how Italian families seem to be; although I'm sure it must be quite stifling at times, they are wonderfully family-oriented. The sister was great, and her reaction upon finding the lads together

I suspect I'm going to get educated on films with gay protagonists by watching your reviews. Which is very good, since I have almost no idea as to what's out there, and what's worth watching!

*settles back to become rather more educated*

Oh, I am pleased! I'm an avid gay-movie aficionado, so as we go along you are going to see rather a lot of things you may find interesting. I may have to depend on you to point out any more lesbian-oriented for other watchers, but I'm sure you won't mind too much!

And don't read too much into my reviews; I'm not exactly erudite or literary in style! I just go with what I like! ;-)

Goody! I actually don't know a lot about lesbian films, since I'm really more into the action/adventure genre, and as we both know, it's hard to find good gay/les characters there. *rolls eyes* I am planning to read some lesbian fiction rec'd to me by friends, though, so if you want someone to review that, I'd be glad to.

LOL, I don't think reviews have to be literary. Half the fun, often, is being anything but. :)

Excellent! Review away! And yes, action/adventure... God, what I wouldn't give for more rollicking good adventures set in some wonderful place where people could love whoever they wanted and it was all perfectly normal. And feel free to review any you find! HA! Or just... you know... ordinary alternative world/action/adventure movies with no queer content too, if you like!

And good; I like your thinking! I figured what do reviewers know, anyway? Fun, is what we're here for! ;-)

No worries! :)

I was very recently surprised by the introduction of a lesbian relationship in the latest episode of Stargate Universe. Admittedly, the character was a civillian and not military, but it was still a nice little ray of hope - especially since Joss Wheddon is the only major writer of SF television that features non-het characters and relationships. I feel quite proud of the Stargate writers for finally doing the awesome thing.

LOL, I could, and do, review just about anything. Next time I'll be sure to post it here!

(So much yes. Who needs dry and serious anyway?)
