  Cruising 1980

  ★★★½ Rewatched by Chris Gallo 23 Jun 2022

  Such an oddity, I mean has there ever been another mainstream film with so much gayness either before or since? And it kinda feels like it foreshadowed the AIDS epidemic considering it’s about an unknown killer of gay men. I love the style and tone. The actual story and performances are all over the place but it’s utterly fascinating. Oh to see the original uncut version. 

  I realize this was met with lots of controversy from the gay community upon release but you can’t deny Cruising is such a stylish, bizarre and downright sleazy 80s thriller.

  The Broken Hearts Club: A Romantic Comedy 2000

  ★★★★ Rewatched by Chris Gallo 22 Jun 2022

  I find this to be one of the most delightful of the late 90s/early 2000s gay comedies. And from Greg Berlanti who would go on to make Love, Simon! So many familiar faces here from Justin Theroux to Dean Cain before he was crazy and Zack Braff with blonde hair. Essentially Queer As Folk before there was Queer As Folk but much more mainstream. I enjoy it.

  God this movie is so amazing and disgusting. I love it. One of the best horror remakes of all time.

  Malignant 2021

  ★★★★½ Watched by Chris Gallo 11 Sep 2021

  WTF. I don’t know what I just watched but it was as batshit crazy as everyone has been saying. I think James Wan was in complete control of making this every bit as bonkers as it turned out to be. If you take this at face value it is “bad” but if this came out in the 80s every horror fan would be saying this is a classic. The way people love something like Sleepaway Camp; that movie is garbage but it…
