Jacqueline Bisset vs. the Golden Globes 2014 get-lost orchestra NBC or whoever organized the Golden Globes 2014 ceremony sat Jacqueline Bisset way in the back of the awards ceremony ballroom. Never mind the fact that Bisset’s film career began nearly half a century ago and that she was a Golden Globe nominee in the Best Supporting Actress in a Series, Mini-Series, or Motion Picture Made for Television category for the mini-series Dancing on the Edge. As a result, it took Bisset, who seemed about as surprised as everybody else when her named was called up, more than a minute to reach the stage. (Photo: Jacqueline Bisset accepts her Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress in a Series, Mini-Series, or Motion Picture Made for Television © HFPA.) Visibly moved, Bisset had to wait a few more seconds before she was able to talk. By the time she began with her somewhat rambling acceptance speech,...

Great news, gay cinephiles! LogoTV snapped up a compelling catalog of gay movies and has made them available for free online streaming! (Sorry international folks, we only have U.S. distribution rights, so like so much else these days, these are geo-blocked.)
Now these are small indie films, so while they all have gay storylines and most feature cute male casts, not all of them are cinematic gems. But hey, on the whole they don’t suck!
Some of them are actually pretty good. In fact, we count five that made our reader ranked list of the Top 100 Greatest Gay Movies: Eating Out 2 (#85), Adam & Steve (#79), Eating Out (#56), Boy Culture (#36) and Latter Days (#5).
In Latter Days a young and promiscuous gay man sets his sights on seducing his Mormon missionary neighbor. The resulting affair changes both their lives. The film stars Wes Ramsey and Steve Sandvoss and also has Joseph Gordon-Levitt in a supporting role.

Brace yourselves. This list of the Top 100 Greatest Gay Movies is probably going to generate some howls of protest thanks to a rather major upset in the rankings. Frankly, one that surprised the hell out of us here at AfterElton.
But before we get to that, an introduction. A few weeks ago we asked AfterElton readers to submit up to ten of their favorite films by write-in vote. We conducted a similar poll several years ago, but a lot has happened culturally since then, and a number of worthy movies of gay interest have been released. We wanted to see how your list of favorites had changed.
We also wanted to expand our list to 100 from the top 50 we had done previously. We figured there were finally enough quality gay films to justify the expansion. And we wanted to break out gay documentaries onto their own list (You'll find the...

Upon hearing that there was a new film titled, Exquisite Corpse, I was excited to think that someone was bringing Poppy Z. Brite’s novel of the same name to the big screen. When watching the trailer I was met with something entirely different. Scott David Russell’s film starring Steve Sandvoss, Nicole Vicius, Guillermo Diaz, Tessa Thompson, and Larry Cedar, will be playing later this month at the Efm (European Film Market) and has nothing to do with a homosexual serial killer, cannibal, necrophiliac (not quite). Dammit. Nicholas is a young neuroscientist who is obsessed with two things. He discovered a serum [...]

Scott David Russell's latest film, Exquisite Corpse, starring Steve Sandvoss, Nicole Vicius, Guillermo Diaz, Tessa Thompson, and Larry Cedar, will be playing later this month at the Efm, and we've got a look at the trailer and some early artwork for you.
Synopsis
"Nicholas is one of the most brilliant young neuroscientists at his medical school and is on the verge of a breakthrough. He just discovered a serum that can bring a dead laboratory rat back to life. He should be reveling in this new discovery but has other things on his mind.
He is in love with his long-time crush, Sophia, and has invited her on a weekend trip to a mountain cabin, the perfect setting to express his deep feelings for her. He finally gets up the nerve to tell her how he feels about her, and to his surprise she tells him that she feels the same way.

Shipping off to Berlin this month looking for potential buyers is Exquisite Corpse from writer-director Scott David Russell and we've got the trailer for your peepers below. Buried Alive 's Steve Sandvoss plays a young neuroscientist who's lady friend bites the big one. Like Re-Animator 's Dan Cain before him, he uses a serum he created to bring her back to life. Unfortunately, the results are only temporary and he finds that he has to kill others to keep her alive. Zoinks. What's with all of these films about living dead girlfriends? Nicole Vicius plays opposite Sandvoss. As this film is fresh off of post-production, it's still too early to tell who's snagging it for distribution, but we'll keep you post.

What would you do if your girlfriend died and you had the power to bring her back? Would you do it? These are the questions posed by the film Exquisite Corpse, which is currently at the European Film Market. Being shopped by Vision Films, Exquisite Corpse envisions a world where the dead can be brought back to life, temporarily. In order for Nicholas (Steve Sandvoss) to resurrect Sophia (Nicole Vicius), a whole slew of innocents must die. Have a read of the synopsis for Exquisite Corpse below, until North American distribution is found.
The synopsis for the Exquisite Corpse here:
"When a brilliant young medical student’s girlfriend dies, he uses his knack for neuroscience to bring her back to life. But for her to live, someone else must die, and the results prove to be temporary. How far would you go for one more day" (Vision)?

Why aren’t there more good gay movies? We hear this complaint at AfterElton.com a lot, and we’ve even made it a few times ourselves (although we think the results of this poll prove that there are more good movies than many of us think!).
There are surely many reasons why more “mainstream” movies don’t include gay or bisexual themes, but no doubt one of them is heterosexual discomfort – not just discomfort on the part of audiences and network executives, but also discomfort on the part of critics and others to champion these films.
This is where our poll of AfterElton.com readers on the 50 Greatest Gay Movies comes in. We can think of no better way to encourage the creation of more good gay movies than to praise and support the existence of past good gay movies!
How does this list compare to our previous poll?...

Have a question about gay male entertainment? Ask the Monkey! (Please include your city and state and/or country.)
Q: Years ago, I read about the gay kiss between Topher Grace and Joseph Gordon-Levitt in an episode of That ‘70s Show called "Eric's Buddy." Apparently that kiss had some kind of historical significance, like first primetime kiss between two men or something like that? Could you find out what the significance was, if any? – Mark, Johnson City, Tn
A: Okay, this is too weird! Just last week, I was at a party, talking to Liz Brixius and Linda Wallem, the creators of the great new show Nurse Jackie (and who both happen to be lesbians). At one point, one of them mentioned a “gay episode” on the first season of That ‘70s Show, a show they’d worked on previously. I didn’t remember seeing it, but I thought it...

NEW YORK -- Representing a significant departure from his screenplay for the hit romantic comedy "Sweet Home Alabama", this directorial debut from C. Jay Cox is a sometimes comic melodrama depicting the burgeoning romantic relationship between a hunky L.A. waiter and a repressed gay Mormon. While "Latter Days" doesn't manage to blend its disparate tones into a satisfying coherent whole, it is an obviously heartfelt effort that should attract art house interest because of its controversial subject matter. It opened Friday in various theaters in New York, Los Angeles and, yes, Salt Lake City.
The central characters are the ironically named Christian (Wes Ramsey), a well-toned West Hollywood waiter, and Elder Aaron Davis (Steve Sandvoss), one of four Mormon missionaries who have moved into Christian's apartment complex. Christian, trying to win a bet with co-workers at the trendy restaurant at which he works, attempts to seduce Aaron, who is clearly confused about his sexuality.
But what starts out as a deception turns real when Christian falls for the younger man, and both start to question their long-held values and beliefs.
Cox's screenplay, while occasionally lapsing into the sort of cliches endemic to so many gay-themed films, generally treats its unusual subject matter with dignity and complexity, and the characters are well-drawn and sympathetic. This is particularly true of many of the supporting characters, played by several well-known actors. These include Lila (Jacqueline Bisset, looking even more gorgeous than usual), the supportive and advice-giving restaurant owner; sister Davis Mary Kay Place), Aaron's mother, who is desperately trying to come to terms with her son's homosexuality; Ryder (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), Aaron's homophobic fellow missionary; and Keith (Eric Palladino), a bitter and sardonic AIDS sufferer.
While the leads are not quite as accomplished, Sandvoss is highly sympathetic as the conflicted Aaron, and Ramsey provides the sort of looks and charisma that makes his character's irresistibility quite believable. Cox's direction is uneven at best, and the film's technical elements are rough-hewn, but overall, "Latter Days" boasts a sincerity lacking in far too many indie efforts.
