	"when Casey Affleck beats Brad Pitt to a Best Actor Oscar nomination for the film come January, remember that you heard it here first." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Oct 30, 2007	The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007)	75%
	"I never saw the madly popular stage version of The History Boys, but I felt like I had after I sat through this almost amateurishly strange, two-dimensional version of it." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted May 14, 2007	The History Boys (2006)	63%
	"The gay subplot is the highlight of the film. \Free of the slack pretensions that saturate the rest of Somersault, the sequences between Joe and Richard (Erik Thomson), an older guy who recognizes Joe's furtive glances, are concise and suspenseful." -- outrate.net Posted Mar 15, 2007	Somersault (2006)	82%
	"Armin Meiwes is currently in a German jail for biting and cutting off Bernd Brandes' penis, frying it and serving it as a light meal for the both of them, before slaughtering Brandes, carving his body into choice cuts and storing them in the fridge." -- outrate.net Posted Mar 15, 2007	Butterfly: A Grimm Love Story (2007)	n/a
	"This dreadful and inane minstrel show takes its title from a poem written by a Han Emperor who cut off the sleeve of his beautiful robe so he could get out of bed without waking his sleeping male concubine." -- outrate.net Posted Mar 15, 2007	Cut Sleeve Boys (2006)	45%
	"Heymann seems to be a big-hearted guy who, despite his own admission that he's happy to be alone, wants to push his Paper Dolls into as much happiness as they can find." -- outrate.net Posted Mar 15, 2007	Paper Dolls (2006)	71%
	"I agree with Salma Hayek, who exclaimed "so many Mexicans!" while announcing the nominations for the 2007 Oscars ceremony, that the past twelve months have featured a bounty of great Mexican films." -- outrate.net Posted Mar 15, 2007	Broken Sky (2006)	43%
	"Does anyone else note the similarities between Cate Blanchett and Kate Bush? They have the same first names, physically resemble each other, remain aloof from tabloid hoopla, and share the same kind of elysian artistic genius." -- outrate.net Posted Mar 15, 2007	Notes on a Scandal (2006)	87%

	"Surprisingly, there are some merits in this latest dropping from the despicable Zany Gay Romantic Comedy factory." -- outrate.net Posted Dec 4, 2006	Adam & Steve (2006)	54%
	"Like Yentl herself, the movie is constantly in search of who and what it is, only finds itself thwarted by certain circumstances, and sails off the screen still searching, leaving us unsatisfied rather than uplifted" -- outrate.net Posted Dec 4, 2006	Yentl (1983)	82%
	"what a strange choice, to set a weirdo gay stalker loose with some rope and a set of steak knives amid a sea of gay-tolerance platitudes" -- outrate.net Posted Dec 4, 2006	October Moon (2006)	n/a
	"the title is rather misleading as though we hear a lot about sex venues and see the odd xxx-pic or clip, there isn't a great deal of gay sex in Gay Sex in the 70's" -- outrate.net Posted Dec 4, 2006	Gay Sex in the 70's (2005)	67%
	"Even as Mitchell pursues his gently romantic anti-agenda it's explicit three-way sex scenes or the appearance of remote-control vaginal vibrating-egg sex toys that move his tale along" -- outrate.net Posted Dec 4, 2006	Shortbus (2006)	65%
N/A	"Before AIDS, gays were more of an avant-garde, more subversive and underground, and more of an invisible influence on fashion, art, and culture. AIDS activism forced a lot of gays to become more visible and institutionalizedin order to take on the governm" -- outrate.net Posted Oct 16, 2006	Hustler White (1996)	n/a
N/A	" Vegas is like no place on earth. It's completely fake and real at the same time. Joy and desperation around every corner. We wanted to see the Vegas behind the glitz and the glamour." -- outrate.net Posted Oct 16, 2006	Showboy (2004)	73%
N/A	"No good hash in CA anymore. I like to smoke pot. Mostly I do daily yoga and appreciate the fact that I'm healthy, free, my wife loves me, and nobody's beating my feet..." -- outrate.net Posted Oct 16, 2006	Midnight Express (1978)	94%
N/A	"Brokeback Mountain was certainly pioneering in the persuasive way it made a sexual relationship between men emotionally credible to a straight audience. Director Ang Lee rightly won the Oscar for that.But I don't think Brokeback Mountain is a great film." -- outrate.net Posted Oct 16, 2006	Politically Incorrect With Bill Maher - An Evening With Camille Paglia ()	n/a
	"a surprisingly gutsy film that gets better as it goes along" -- outrate.net Posted Oct 7, 2006	The Object Of My Affection (1998)	50%
	"Antonio Banderas was originally called Jos� Antonio Dom�nguez Bandera (note the missing "s") before Almod�var suggested he change his name" -- outrate.net Posted Oct 7, 2006	Law of Desire (1987)	100%
	" The Stonewall legend never really knows what to do with itself - we know that drag queens led the riots, but conservative gay activists are always happy to insert their own ancestors into the record." -- outrate.net Posted Oct 7, 2006	Stonewall (1996)	67%
	"Michael Caine and Christopher Reeve apparently drank litres of alcohol to get through their dreaded male-male kiss scene in Deathtrap, but you'll need something stronger than alcohol to stay interested in this movie." -- outrate.net Posted Oct 7, 2006	Deathtrap (1982)	64%
	" Elliptic films of this type invariably drown in their own inscrutability but there's an emotional and psychological authenticity here that elevates Wild Side from the problems of its coma-inducing genre." -- outrate.net Posted Oct 7, 2006	The Wild Side (2005)	63%

	"A sentimental mock-Jewish string score, bony lead actors and heartless SS guards fill up a very stock picture of martyrs at the mercy of a cruel world." -- outrate.net Posted Oct 7, 2006	Bent (1997)	68%
	"Misguided and counterproductive gay activists set upon The Silence of the Lambs and made fools out of themselves simplifying and misinterpreting certain elements of a complex cinematic masterpiece." -- outrate.net Posted Oct 7, 2006	Silence of the Lambs (1991)	96%
	"Bad Education is missing the fairy dust that made All About My Mother such a magical masterpiece." -- outrate.net Posted Oct 7, 2006	Bad Education (2004)	88%
	"Huma, a chain-smoking diva in the style of Bette Davis, doesn't seem to distinguish between her offstage self and her role as Blanche duBois, while Manuela becomes, for a moment, a fusion of Eve Harrington and Stella Kowalski." -- outrate.net Posted Oct 7, 2006	All About My Mother (1999)	97%
	"Kilmer and Downey Jr spar well together, in several truly hilarious exchanges, but their characters are so well drawn and the Black's script so brainy that stale home/hetero tit-for-tats over handfuls of donuts during the stakeout do not occur." -- outrate.net Posted Oct 7, 2006	Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (2005)	83%

	"I think it's interesting that hetero coming-of-age, teen-love films tend to be broad frat-house comedies a la American Pie while gay versions on the theme lean towards a lushly romanticised, almost tragic vision of innocence lost." -- outrate.net Posted Oct 7, 2006	Summer Storm (2006)	50%
	"Yet another troubled-gay-teen dragged Christ-like through the wringer of high-school-hell film." -- outrate.net Posted Oct 7, 2006	You'll Get Over It (2002)	63%
	" Homosexual attraction in Death In Venice is such an isolated, intellectual quest that it has no carnality, and becomes something like a mania or temporary fever-induced mental attack." -- outrate.net Posted Oct 7, 2006	Death in Venice (1990)	n/a

	"Look, this isn't Almod�var's best film. His second feature, it's a pretty low-budget, low frills affair and the signature kinks are shrill and unhewn." -- outrate.net Posted Oct 7, 2006	Labyrinth of Passion (1982)	100%

	" Anthony Hopkins, made up to look about a hundred and fifty, plays a narrator who records Alexander's life at the library of Alexandria, a grand building which in this film looks more like Elton John's bathroom or the set for an ad for "Kouros"." -- outrate.net Posted Oct 7, 2006	Alexander (2004)	16%
	"Made by the Academy Award winning team responsible for Common Threads: Stories From The Quilt, Paragraph 175 is a predictably excellent documentary that explores the haunting memories of a group of gay and lesbian Holocaust survivors with subtlety." -- outrate.net Posted Oct 7, 2006	Paragraph 175 (2000)	93%
	"Officially selected at the Venice Film Festival and variously proclaimed as "one of the year's ten best films" etc., by reviewers in gay and non-gay media, O Fantasma is really an overblown bore" -- outrate.net Posted Oct 7, 2006	O Fantasma (2000)	25%
