AUTHOR

FRESH 6/10 Blades of Glory (2007) "One of the most keenly perceptive comedies ever made about straight male bonding, fear of intimacy, and masculinity. Not to mention figure skating." Brian Juergens

FRESH 8/10 Brideshead Revisited (2008) "Themes of religious oppression, particularly of gay people, are especially pointed and unfortunately still relevant enough today to sting." Brian Juergens

ROTTEN 5/10 Cruising (1980) "Is it offensive? Yes and no. It's insensitive, certainly. And I wouldn't want my mother watching it, lest she think I've been in a sling in the meatpacking district for most of my adult life." Brian Juergens

FRESH 10/10 The Dark Knight (2008) "From its grim palette to its wonderfully eerie score, a departure from what Hollywood has always told us a superhero film should be ... Complex, unsettling, and rewarding." Brian Juergens

FRESH 6/10 Dirty Laundry (2007) "Is it sidesplitting? No, but it's cute. Is it wonderfully wicked? No, but it's got a few twists and turns. Is it a classic? Probably not, but it's an encouraging move into a new kind of gay film and a story not often told." Brian Juergens

FRESH 8/10 Eastern Promises (2007) "Brutal, but not cruel." Brian Juergens

FRESH 7/10 Hamlet 2 (2008) "If you're not offended easily and like good camp you'll love Hamlet 2, a joke-a minute lampoon of tortured artists with a finale that shouldn't be missed." Brian Juergens

FRESH 7/10 The History Boys (2006) "While the goal of our heroes may be to make it to university, the film's focus is clearly the journey, not the destination." Brian Juergens

ROTTEN 5/10 Kiss the Bride (2008) "Plot contrivances and erratic character choices reduce would could have been a frothy comedy into a confused, unsatisfying jumble that no amount of beefcake can rescue." Brian Juergens

FRESH 9/10 Knocked Up (2007) "A film that manages to be uncommonly thoughtful and sensitive to the complexity of its very faulted characters while still being relentlessly, brilliantly funny." Brian Juergens

ROTTEN 5/10 Love Songs (2008) "I don't know that achieving this kind of sexual freedom would be worth having to live around all these exhaustingly precocious people." Brian Juergens

FRESH 8/10 Mamma Mia! (2008) "Even were it not the title of one of ABBA's most beloved songs, this might just be the most aptly-titled movie of the year.Because my Mom is gonna loooooooove it." Brian Juergens

FRESH 7/10 Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008) "A charming tour through a wonderfully authentic New York City landscape that takes full advantage of the magic that the city offers to everyone, regardless of sexuality." Brian Juergens

FRESH 8/10 The Nines (2007) "When I read that Ryan Reynolds was playing not one, but three characters in this movie -- one of whom is gay -- my ticket pretty much bought itself. They had me at 'himbo'." Brian Juergens

FRESH 7/10 Shelter (2008) "Shelter gives hope that gay romances have come of age." Brian Juergens

FRESH 7/10 Teeth (2008) "Much like Dawn's ill-fated gyno visit, a peek beneath the folds of this clever and surprisingly amusing little horror comedy holds a few surprises for curious gay viewers." Brian Juergens

FRESH 7/10 Tropic Thunder (2008) "A very funny Hollywood story with a gay character who doesn't mince or terrify the straight characters and comes out without being punished. If only this weren't a satire." Brian Juergens
