The Love Patient
DVD Wolfe Price: $19.95 Now Shipping!
Synopsis:
When brash ad exec Paul realizes he has lost his ex-boyfriend for good, he concocts an outrageous scheme to win him back: He stages his own cancer diagnosis. The plan seems to be working until Paul’s mom and his entire family move in to take care of him.
How far would you go to win back the love of your life? Perhaps send flowers, write poetry or even serenade that man of your dreams until he can take it no more? Paul, our hot but self-centered hero has other, more extreme ideas when sensitive hunk Brad drops him and begins dating another man. Not used to losing and determined to regain his love, Paul decides to pretend to have a life-threatening illness in what he sees as a foolproof method in ensuring Brad’s return. But will it work or will the tangled web he weaves get him in hot water rather than in to the arms of his hot man? Populated by outrageous characters, this fun romantic comedy is a truly off the wall take on what one man would really do for love.

Jeremy Hooper (blogger, Good As You)
Good As You blogger Jeremy Hooper (pictured above left with husband Andrew Shulman) has an excellent selection for us this week:
My favorite LGBT film is a documentary from 1977 called Word Is Out. I love it for its quiet fire. There are no quick edits, carefully orchestrated casting, or manipulated moments of drama, which are all so de rigueur today. Essentially, the filmmakers point the camera and let the twenty six subjects tell their own stories. Through that simple setup comes unfakeable passion. It’s as if the participants — all products of the early 20th century and at least one born in the late 19th — are cleansing themselves of years of bottled-up feelings. As both an activist and an observer, I hold deep respect and appreciation for the preserved catharses.

Rave Review for New Lesbian Swedish Romance, KISS ME
“[KISS ME] With Every Heartbeat manages to excel on every level, while also delivering a strong message about the LGBT community — they live, love, feel, experience, and are just like the heterosexuals of the world, and their representation on film needs not be any different.”

Michelangelo Signorile (radio host and blogger)
“I’m going to be predicable and name one that is among everyone’s favorite, but I honestly can watch BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN over and over again — and I have! Beyond the performances and the weepy love story, it’s just a beautiful film and even more so on the big screen. Thank you Ang Lee!”

Alonso Duralde (101 Must-See Movies for Gay Men)
“One of my favorite LGBT movies is Pedro Almodóvar’s ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER. He hits all the notes here — comedy, tragedy, sexuality, melodrama, friendship — and juggles them all beautifully, resulting in a perfect little movie that will leave you laughing and sobbing in equal measure.”

Leslie Jordan (star of SORDID LIVES, MANGUS!)
“My favorite LGBT film is MAURICE I had already devoured the E.M. Forster novel (which was only published after his death because of the gay content) and was such a huge fan of all the movies of the Merchant/Ivory guys, I was beside myself when I got wind a movie was coming out based on the book. I waited with bated breath for the release. And I was not disappointed. The coming out story of a man of his high station finding true love with the “gameskeeper’s son” was enthralling. And all that frontal nudity! Having a real penchant for bad boys myself I could hardly keep from sobbing out loud when they finally came together for good in the candle lit boat dock house. What a great movie!”

Matthew Rettenmund (blogger & writer)
“My favorite gay movie of all time is Parting Glances (1986). It wasn’t the first gay movie I’d seen, but it was current when I saw it during my first year at stodgy, asexual University of Chicago, and it showed me a New York and a gay life I longed to be a part of and simultaneously feared. There’s a comfort between the main couple that’s beautifully communicated, and the poisonous quality of settling is not a theme often explored in gay or non-gay films. Steve Buscemi‘s AIDS victim (we called them “victims” then) and his best friend (Richard Ganoung) have the most touching relationship, one that plays with humor and sadness and even love. Imagine that… dying people are still living and still have the balls to be in love. Rough around the edges, there’s still nothing wrong with this movie—not even 25 years later.”
