Handsome Devil (2016)
Handsome Devil is feel good coming out
Handsome devil is a feel-good story about two teenagers learning to come out in a boarding school full of rugby crazed adults and students. This one as well acted, is dramatic, has interesting characters, and isn't too after school special to be fun to watch. Sherlocks own Moriarty takes a turn as the Dead Poets Society level English teacher that inspires them all to be better people. I didn't like how the school allowed massive bullying and physical aggression from teachers and students. The subplot was intriguing, came to a good conclusion, but still left me interested to hear more about it. The ending is a little hokey but we could all use a little cheer now and then. This one is just a fun story that leaves us wanting more, and by Moore I mean I wanted more romance, but I'll settle for the ending I got.
Star Trek: Hidden Frontier (2000)
Star Trek: Hidden Frontier is a deeply complex addition to Trek
Hidden Frontier has been talked about and reported on by several news agencies for their long commitment to creating the best Star Trek stories and to providing an example of the togetherness that was Gene Roddenberry's mission. Their focus on homosexuality, depression, war, and acceptance of different races is on par or exceeds those of the other Trek series and movies. The production value started off as smaller and choppy but over the 7 seasons of production the acting has improved, the stories are more complex, and the visual graphics have gotten smoother and more impressive. In season 6 episode 1, Countermeasures, there is one of the biggest space battles in Trek history. The ships are rendered well and the space battles are impressive and exciting. The real draw to Frontier is not the ships or the backgrounds, but it is the people and the interplay and growth of characters. There are also nods to other Trek series and movies with places and characters we all know. I recommend any Trek fan to check out Countermeasures and you will be hooked!
