Adventures in Babysitting (1987)
One of the Best 1980's Movies Ever !!
It is an underrated gem and Elisabeth Shue is perfectly cast for the main role. While she is an awesome actress in many serious award winning dramatic roles this is my favorite role for her and I love the beginning of the movie that hearkens backs to the 1950's teenage comedies. Her timing is perfect and my favorite scenes are her singing "The Babysitter Blues" and when she sees her boyfriend out on another date. I love it when she's says "Stephanie Plexar", its so classic. There are so many things to love about this movie especially if you grew up in a sheltered suburban town next to a large urban city that you really can relate to as you knew girls like Chris and Brenda and guys like Mike in High School. A !0+ !!!
Boy Culture (2006)
Depressing and Not Up Lifting
I do not think of myself as a prude and having lived in gay neighborhoods in LA and San Francisco I feel I am very aware of the gay scene but I found the story superficial, tiring and not inspiring. I am tired of every gay movie being all about sex and no feelings. I also wish a character could have a real job like a lawyer, doctor or scientist and do they always have to be a male hustler? There are smart gay people who go to Harvard or wherever and change the world you just don't here about it because you don't know their gay because their lives are about more than just their sexuality. The acting was good and "X" was hot but the guy had issues and who would want to be with someone that just uses people. In 2010, it would be nice if gay movies reflected the real diversity of gay culture and not the typical hustler stereotypes. Life is about more than the size of your biceps thank god.
