“Gabe” (Bill Heck) has come to his awakened homosexuality later in life, after garnering an ex-wife and a daughter along the way. On the other side of town, things are even more complex for the openly gay “Ernesto” (Marcus DeAnda) who is in the final throes of his relationship with his own ex-boyfriend (Alfredo Maduro) while that man’s predecessor sits in an hospital bed, comatose, after an accident and who serves to remind “Ernesto” of happier times. “Gabe” has had a few dates with men, but they’ve hardly been stellar successes so when he meets “Ernesto” is there any chance of a new start for…

Gowok isn’t just about the history of an old tradition. Behind it, there’s a story about tragic love, political ego, and sexuality. It also sheds light on a cultural practice most people today probably never even heard of reminding us that there was a time when sex education wasn’t just about the act itself, but also about how a husband plays a role in building a healthy, respectful marriage.…

There's a lot of Aubrie Plaza wish fulfillment here. Like an old-school perv obsessed child was dying of cancer. Horny detective scoring all the time is very believable. Lots of people die abrupt, comedic plot twist deaths. Charlie Day squawks very well. I can't remember any plot details.
All that in 1.5 hours.…

This is a best competitive show about athletes that I have seen and I have seen plenty. It's tense and it's great. You want to watch episode after an episode.…

It was just okay. First one was better. I understand that horror movies aren't realistic usually, but this one was way too much unrealistic unlike first part.…

Ruth Jones is on good form here as the British screen legend Hattie Jacques but I really couldn’t help but feel that the character she presented was a far cry for the amiable one we saw on screen and television in the 1960s. Perhaps that is because she was married to comedy actor John Le Mesurier (Robert Bathurst), had two children and after beginning an affair with John Schofield (Aiden Turner) proceeded to relegate her husband to an attic room whilst she moved her lover into her bed. I just didn’t like her very much from here on in. Turner also delivers quite well as his swarthy Schofield pr…

Tchéky Karyo really doesn’t impress very much as he takes on the role of one of history’s most enigmatic characters for this good looking but lacklustre costume drama. Set against a backdrop of plagues and widespread religious fervour in 16th century France, we follow this man who adopts a less superstitious and more scientific approach to dealing with many of the contagions that routinely decimated the population - rich and poor, high and low. Constantly fearful of a vengeful church - especially as he purports to be able to see the future, he allies with “Scaliger” (F. Murray Abraham) and hea…

It’s not often that I’ve seen Alan Hale in a leading role and he does ok in this murky maritime mystery. “Winters” had a promising career in the US Navy that had been brought to an abrupt ending after he stopped to rescue some sailors during the Great War rather than pursuing the vessel that sank them in the first place. He ends up in the salvage business and that’s when he encounters the bar-owning “Evelyn” (Laura La Plante) who is having some difficulty with a nefarious solicitor “Wilson” (Henry Sykes) who is trying to divert her from from her substantial fortune. Meantime, the enigmatic “Lu…

**_Victorian horror revolving around a wax museum in Baltimore_**
This was originally intended to be a pilot for a proposed TV series with the proprietors of the museum (Cesare Danova and Wilfrid Hyde-White) acting as amateur sleuths who assist the police with horrific cases. It was decided to release it theatrically because it was ostensibly too intense for television at the time. The gimmick of a “Fear Flasher” and corresponding “Horror Horn” were added to increase the runtime, along with a cameo by Tony Curtis.
It comes in the tradition of Poe's "The Murders in the Rue Morgue,…
