Jamie and Jessie Are Not Together (2011)
Refreshingly different
Thank the Powers That Be (or in this case the makers of this film) for a queer-women focused film that does not contain any of the following:
-Lesbians committing suicide
- Lesbians sleeping with men
-Lesbians dealing with coming out
- Duels and insanity
- Sex scenes that imply all women do in bed together is giggle and kiss
What this does have: Musical elements! Comedy and drama in good, not awkwardly transitioned doses. Quality sex scenes! Use of the word queer and great use of Chicago as a location. Authentic, REALISTIC looking women (in comparison to size zero, model- like straight women who don't know the first thing about being queer) Surprisingly amazing cinematography for an independent, presumably small-budget film.
I can't wait till this is on DVD and I hope everyone interested gets a chance to see it when it becomes available. You will not regret it. This is the movie I wish existed when I was younger. Instead I got Lost and Delirious...
Boo (2005)
Great comedy, despite intentions to be scary
For a horror movie, Boo is terrible. So don't waste your money trying to be scared or impressed by the "scary" aspects of this film. If you want to drink and laugh at a film that tries (and fails) so hard to be scary, this is a winner. The bad acting, the cheesy plot line, and the lame scares all contribute to one of the funniest "serious" scary movies I've ever seen. If you want to laugh, Boo is highly recommended. Seriously, get some booze, round up your friends, and you will have a good time. Especially if you otherwise enjoy watching good horror films. Another awesomely bad scary movie is Scarecrow Gone Wild too, if you end up liking Boo.
