Ciao (Love gay movie)
Two men meet and fall in love under the least joyous of circumstances in this low-key drama from writer and director Yen Tan.
* You can download free the movie with the link *
Jeff (Adam Neal Smith) has been close friends with Mark most of his life, so when Mark unexpectedly dies, Jeff volunteers to clear out Mark’s apartment and tie up the loose ends of his personal business.
Z While examining Mark’s correspondence, Jeff learns that he had been exchanging flirtatious e-mails for some time with Andrea (Alessandro Calza), an Internet designer from Italy who made plans to come to America and meet Mark in person — and he’s due to arrive only three days after Mark’s passing. Jeff is unable to reach Andrea before he leaves, and ends up meeting the traveler at the airport, passing along the sad news to him. Andrea now has three days to pass in Mark’s hometown of Dallas before his flight home, and Jeff offers to show him around the town.
Over the next 72 hours, an attraction develops between Jeff and Andrea, based in part on their shared affection for a man they knew in very different ways. Ciao was an official entry at the 2008 San Francisco Lesbian & Gay Film Festival.
Ciao Movie Review and Critic
A contemplative grace note in NewFest’s raucous chorus of self-affirmation, this muted two-hander traces a three-day mourning interlude linking a dead man’s lifelong platonic pal to the deceased’s Italian lover-in-waiting. Helmer Yen Tan (”Happy Birthday”) relies on the contrasting thesping styles of the two leads and a cool, minimalist aesthetic (fixed camera placements within emptying frames) to flesh out his mood piece’s slender plot. As full of sexual tension as it is devoid of sexual activity, “Ciao” qualifies as a quietly charged change of pace for the gay fest circuit.
The Italian word “ciao” can mean both “hello” and “goodbye.” It’s an apt title for the wonderful new movie, Ciao, which is about both saying hello and saying goodbye —and how one man uses the act of saying hello to say goodbye. It sounds complicated, but it’s not. Jeff, who lives in Dallas, is dealing with the recent accidental death of his best friend, Mark. In reviewing some of Mark‘s email, Jeff finds evidence of what was ahidden, online romance between Mark and a man in Italy, Andrea. They were even planning on meeting for the first time, with Andrea coming to stay with Mark for the upcoming weekend.

EATING OUT
Eating Out is a gay-themed romantic comedy film released in 2004. It was written and directed by Q. Allan Brocka.
After getting dumped by his girlfriend Tiffani (Rebekah Kochan), Caleb (Scott Lunsford) commiserates with his roommate Kyle (Jim Verraros), who notes that while he has trouble getting the men he wants he could get any woman because he's gay.
Later at a party, Gwen (Emily Stiles) dumps her boyfriend after he comes out to her. Caleb sees her and becomes infatuated and meets Marc (Ryan Carnes), who Kyle is infatuated with. Marc, meanwhile, sees Caleb and is instantly attracted.
Kyle comes up with a crazy scheme. He tells Gwen that Caleb is gay so she'll set him up with Marc. Kyle figures that Caleb can use Marc to get to Gwen, while Kyle uses Caleb to get to Marc. Also, Tiffani lives next door to Gwen and Marc so seeing Caleb date Marc would make her crazy.
Caleb and Marc go out on a date then go back to Marc's place to watch a movie.
Marc tries to put the moves on Caleb, who's unresponsive. Suddenly Gwen, who's stuck at a friend's house and bored, calls. She talks to Caleb, relaxing and seducing him verbally while Marc takes advantage by giving him a blow job. Gwen hangs up to come home and Marc jerks off next to Caleb. Caleb, feeling confused and insecure, leaves. He passes Gwen on her way home and she seduces him again, this time physi
Caleb goes home and goes to bed.
The next morning Marc calls Caleb and leaves a message. Kyle overhears it and realizes that Marc and Caleb had sex. As Kyle storms into his room, Marc calls back. After the call Caleb goes to Kyle and tells him he's invited Gwen and Marc to dinner to clear everything up. Caleb also tells Kyle that he knows Kyle has feelings for him and that, if Caleb were at all gay, he'd love Kyle.
Gwen and Marc come over for dinner and Caleb is chagrined to see that Kyle's invited Caleb's family as well. Kyle convinces Gwen to "pretend" to be Caleb's date and Marc to "pretend" to be his.
Dinner is going well, if a little awkwardly, until Tiffani inexplicably crashes the party. Gwen takes upon herself to out Caleb to his parents. His parents take it quite well and everyone ends up in a bizarre group hug.
After Caleb's family and Tiffani leave, Gwen verbally attacks Kyle, thinking he's trying to steal Marc from Caleb. Caleb convinces Marc to talk to Kyle and Gwen figures out the entire scheme, which she thinks is the sweetest thing anyone's ever done for her in light of the lengths to which Caleb went to sleep with her. Marc goes to talk to Kyle and realizes that he's interested in Kyle after all.
In a post-credits scene, Marc and Kyle finally get together.

A MORMON BOY SEDUCED BY A GAY GUY
Latter Days is a 2003 American romantic drama about a gay relationship between a closeted Mormon missionary and his openly gay neighbor. The film was written and directed by C. Jay Cox.
It stars Steve Sandvoss as the missionary, Aaron, and Wes Ramsey as the neighbor, Christian. Joseph Gordon-Levitt appears as Elder Ryder, and Rebekah Johnson as Julie Taylor. Mary Kay Place, Amber Benson and Jacqueline Bisset have supporting roles.
Latter Days premiered at the Philadelphia International Gay & Lesbian Film Festival on July 10, 2003. It was released across the United States over the next 12 months, and was released, mostly at gay film festivals, in a few other countries. It was the first film to portray openly the clash between the principles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and homosexuality, and its exhibition in some U.S. states was controversial. Various religious groups demanded that the film be withdrawn from theatres and DVD stores under boycott threats.
The film was met with mixed reactions from film critics, but was popular with most film festival attendees. In 2004, freelance writer T. Fabris made Latter Days into a novel, which was published by Alyson Publications.
Latter Days premiered at the Philadelphia International Gay and Lesbian Film Festival on July 10, 2003. The audience enjoyed the film so much that they gave it a standing ovation. When the cast came on stage, they received another standing ovation. The film had a similar reception both at Outfest a week later, and at the Palm Springs International Film Festival. One person who attended Outfest commented, "It was so realistic that it was scary.
I felt exposed as the particulars of my experience and of others I know was brazenly spread across the big screen for all to behold." The film also aired at Seattle and Washington film festivals, before being released across the United States over the next 12 months.
The film was released in few other countries, mostly at gay film festivals,as the ones in Barcelona and Madrid (where it was also a popular pick) and Mexico City.In 2005 it had already received nine best film awards.
The film was banned by Madstone Theaters, a cinema arthouse with nine theaters across the country, which claimed it was "not up to our artistic quality." The company was pressured with threatened boycotts and protests by conservative groups to withdraw their planned release. At the North American box office, Latter Days made $834,685 from a maximum of 19 theaters. Critical reviews have also been mixed: one wrote, "Cox's screenplay, while occasionally lapsing into the sort of clichés endemic to so many gay-themed films, generally treats its unusual subject matter with dignity and complexity." Film critic Roger Ebert gave it two and a half stars out of four, writing "the movie could have been (a) a gay love story, or (b) an attack on the Mormon Church, but is an awkward fit by trying to be (c) both at the same time."
There have been positive reviews as well, with one critic saying Latter Days was "the most important gay male movie of the past few years." The Los Angeles Times was also positive, saying, "at once romantic, earthy and socially critical, 'Latter Days' is a dynamic film filled with humor and pathos."The movie review website Rotten Tomatoes reported that 45% of critics gave the film positive write-ups, based upon a sample of 44, with an average score of 5.4/10. As of October 2009, the film is the top grossing film from its studio TLA Releasing.

Guarda Municipal
Sub-inspetor flagrado em cenas de sexo
20 Ago 2009 - 00h28min
A Guarda Municipal abriu um processo administrativo disciplinar para apurar o envolvimento de um sub-inspetor, em imagens de cenas de sexo explícito, que expõem o fardamento da instituição. As imagens gravadas em um ambiente ainda não identificado caíram na Internet e mostram uma relação homoafetiva.
O coordenador da Guarda Municipal, Arimá Rocha, informou que a portaria será publicada hoje, no Diário Oficial do Município, em uma apuração que poderá chegar a 30 dias, prorrogável por igual período. "O regulamento disciplinar da Guarda Municipal foi infringido em dois aspectos: o uso do fardamento em uma situação de natureza íntima e o desprestígio da instituição", informou o coordenador, que adiantou que, em caso de condenação, a pena vai de uma suspensão à expulsão.
Arimá Rocha informou ainda que o sub-inspetor se encontra de licença, desde o último mês de abril, para tratamento de saúde. O coordenador negou ainda que o local onde as imagens foram feitas seja uma escola municipal, conforme sugerem os dados divulgados junto às imagens.
"O sub-inspetor nunca trabalhou na Ronda Escolar, pelo menos nos últimos dois anos. Mas o uso indevido da farda da instituição já é algo muito grave", comentou.
O coordenador disse ainda que o pedido de urgência para a apuração do caso em nada tem a ver com o relacionamento homoafetivo. “Em nenhum momento iremos entrar nesse mérito. A questão é tão somente quanto ao uso do fardamento da instituição, em uma situação de desprestígio, mesmo que fosse em uma relação heterossexual”.
