Awesome Movie
Added 9/13/2009
I really liked this movie. The actors are hot, and the story goes beyond your typical coming of age story that fills the plot of most modern gay movies. I read the book before I watched the movie, and even though the book was better (as it typically is), this movie did the book justice. The main character, X, was very similar to how he was portrayed in the book. The only thing I wish there was more of with this movie is shirtless, hot sex scenes :)

Great movie
Added 2/2/2009
I thought this was a wonderful film - great story great cast. One of the best gay films I have watched in a very long time.
I had the honor of being able to interview the director Q. Allan Brocka and Jonathon Trent for my podcast Ramble Redhead. It was great getting to know more about this great film and it is a great addition to anyone library collection.

This movie is simply amazing. I laughed the entire time. I cried. I yelled at the tv. I loved it. Not your everyday gay movie. THe story line goes beyond that. This is a movie about love, trust, guilt, giulty pleasures, and oppertunities.

This is close to "Evian"
Added 11/9/2008
A magazine columnist once wrote in a movie review for "Waiting to Exhale" that when you're dying of thirst, you don't exactly need Evian. This is how I've felt about the vast majority of gay-themed movies. Most of them, to be blunt, are crap. Supply and demand dictates that, due to the relatively few writers and directors working in this genre, that most gay-themed movies are disappointing and would never be green-lit if their audience was more mainstream, i.e., straight.
"Boy Culture", despite its generic title, is a refreshing exception to this rule. Warm, touching, sexy, and smart, this movie is a good example of gay independent movie making. The voice-over of the main character may be a bit cheap, but it's quite effective in the end. The leads are all extremely watchable, attractive, and endearing. I don't know which one of them was gay or straight, but I neither did I care. Each of them inhabited their roles without resulting to trite stereotypes, or, as insulting to me, personally, the opposite -- playing "straight". The result was that I felt that each character was a real person.
While I do not think it will appeal to the majority of straight audiences, it is simply a Must-Watch for us gays. And straight viewers with an open mind and a romantic sensibility will certainly not be disappointed.
