movie madness continues :)

I went to see another film last night. Heartbreaking gay romance from Hong Kong, called Amphetamine. Mature rating, of course. There were maybe five to seven women in the audience, myself included. Somehow it didn't occur to me beforehand that this might be the case, because I know plenty of women who would think nothing of going to see a graphic gay movie. Except I know them through Teh Internetz, and they are scattered far and wide across the globe. Apparently, there aren't that many of them in Chicago.:D Anyway... it felt a little weird, but I'm glad I went. Even if I have issues with the film. But this, again, is a topic for another post. I want to keep my reviews in the order of importance, so to speak - and that means Loose Cannons go first.:)

( longish review with some spoilers under the cut )

I swear I didn't know when I bought the ticket :)

Now, about this Greek film I saw last Tuesday. Black Field. Which turned out to be something a little different than what I expected. *amused chuckle* The funny thing is, I picked mostly gay movies to see - except for this one. Not even so much on purpose - I just picked the ones that sounded most interesting to me, and they happened to be gay-themed. Imagine that. *snort* So I was thinking to myself, Well, at least I will be able to say I watched one non-gay film during this festival. And then I checked out the link to the film's website, and there was a review, and before I was half-way through it, I started laughing hysterically, because yeah. To quote the director, Vardis Marinakis, who attended the screening, this is a spoiler that has totally leaked, so I am going to reveal it - and I daresay some of my potential readers might actually be MORE interested in seeing the film once I do.:D
