The Birdcage
You might believe this is a movie about two middle-aged gay men who run a drag club and live a fabulous, but slightly bitchy life. You would be wrong. What this is really about is their butt-baby son played by Dan Futterman who desperately needs to be bitch-slapped across South Beach Miami for being a pouting self-centered homophobic passive aggressive. Everytime Futterman’s smirky face shows up on the screen, I just want to punch him.
The Living End
Here’s a movie I am surprised made the cut to DVD. This is a Gregg Araki masterpiece/chaotic mess. This is probably the most self-destructive, violent rage filled movie he ever made. His next movie: Doom Generation is almost refined in comparison. Essentially what you are looking at here is a road movie about two HIV+ guys who fall in and out of love and partake of a decent amount of crime and violence along the way.
If you like Cult style movies and aren’t afraid of a little gay with your viewing, I’m HIV positive you’ll like this.
