Today I thought I would feature a couple of Gay films instead of music just to give you something a little different. Of course there will still be eye candy, after all we would not want you to go lacking for your daily dose of beautiful men. The first film is Breaking The Code (UK 1996) The story of Alan Turing, a Gay man, whose skills in breaking the German Enigma Code were vital to victory in WW II. After the war, he was then persecuted for his sexuality. Starring Derek Jacobi. Director: Herbert Wise. Writers - Andrew Hodges (book), Hugh Whitemore (play). This film was originally aired as part of the Masterpiece Theater series on PBS. The second film is a more recent film, Twist (2003 Canada) Written & Directed by Jacob Tierney, Director of Photography -- Gerald Packer, CSC. Editor -- Mitchell Lackie. Dodge -- Nick Stahl, Oliver -- Joshua Close, Fagin -- Gary Farmer. A gay re-telling of Charles Dickens' classic Oliver Twist. Moved from the poor house to the dark streets of the hustler. Tale told from POV of the 'Artful Dodger'--now Dodge. The prosaically beautiful Oliver is gladly taken in by down-&-out hustlers. Dodge mentors Oliver in the unforgiving arts of drug abuse & prostitution. As Oliver's innocence dissolves, both confront demons & strangely, it is Dodge who finds he cannot escape his past. Format: 35mm Kodak Film. Produced with the assistance of Telefilm Canada. All music rights for use with this film secured (& credited) by the producers. Copyright Victorious Films Inc. (2003). Both films are quite enjoyable although there are dark elements to both stories, you cannot help but feel empathy for the characters portrayed. After the films, there are some engaging photographic examples of Random Hotness from my archives. Thanks for visiting, see you again tomorrow. Until next time as always, Enjoy!
