Tomato 6/10	Blades of Glory (2007)	"One of the most keenly perceptive comedies ever made about straight male bonding, fear of intimacy, and masculinity. Not to mention figure skating."	Brian Juergens
Tomato 9/10	The Boys in the Band (1970)	"Unapologetic, ambitious, wonderfully vibrant, and more than deserving of a second chance from those who found it to be an unfair look at the lives of gay men in the 1960s."	Brian Juergens
Tomato 8/10	Brideshead Revisited (2008)	"Themes of religious oppression, particularly of gay people, are especially pointed and unfortunately still relevant enough today to sting."	Brian Juergens
Splat 5/10	Cruising (1980)	"Is it offensive? Yes and no. It's insensitive, certainly. And I wouldn't want my mother watching it, lest she think I've been in a sling in the meatpacking district for most of my adult life."	Brian Juergens
Tomato 7/10	Cthulhu (2008)	"An assured, creepy effort that skillfully integrates gay themes and characters into a straight-up horror story."	Brian Juergens
Tomato 10/10	The Dark Knight (2008)	"From its grim palette to its wonderfully eerie score, a departure from what Hollywood has always told us a superhero film should be ... Complex, unsettling, and rewarding."	Brian Juergens
Tomato 6/10	Dirty Laundry (2007)	"Is it sidesplitting? No, but it's cute. Is it wonderfully wicked? No, but it's got a few twists and turns. Is it a classic? Probably not, but it's an encouraging move into a new kind of gay film and a story not often told."	Brian Juergens
Tomato 8/10	Eastern Promises (2007)	"Brutal, but not cruel."	Brian Juergens
Tomato 7/10	Hamlet 2 (2008)	"If you're not offended easily and like good camp you'll love Hamlet 2, a joke-a minute lampoon of tortured artists with a finale that shouldn't be missed."	Brian Juergens
Tomato 7/10	The History Boys (2006)	"While the goal of our heroes may be to make it to university, the film's focus is clearly the journey, not the destination."	Brian Juergens
Tomato 7/10	I Love You, Man (2009)	"Butch and Sundance ended their hetero romance in a shower of bullets, but here it's something to celebrate - a straight love story that doesn't leave anyone out in the cold."	Brian Juergens
Splat 5/10	Kiss the Bride (2008)	"Plot contrivances and erratic character choices reduce would could have been a frothy comedy into a confused, unsatisfying jumble that no amount of beefcake can rescue."	Brian Juergens
Tomato 9/10	Knocked Up (2007)	"A film that manages to be uncommonly thoughtful and sensitive to the complexity of its very faulted characters while still being relentlessly, brilliantly funny."	Brian Juergens
Tomato 7/10	Land of the Lost (2009)	"An aggressively weird, suitably uneven and decidedly un-kid-friendly keg-stand of nostalgia for those unable to scrub the fever-dream of a series from their memories."	Brian Juergens
Splat 5/10	Little Ashes (2009)	"Likely has an audience out there, but I'm not it, nor are most of the people who will be checking it out for its much-hyped casting of Pattinson as a gay-experimenting Dal�."	Brian Juergens
Splat 5/10	Love Songs (2008)	"I don't know that achieving this kind of sexual freedom would be worth having to live around all these exhaustingly precocious people."	Brian Juergens
Tomato 8/10	Mamma Mia! (2008)	"Even were it not the title of one of ABBA's most beloved songs, this might just be the most aptly-titled movie of the year.Because my Mom is gonna loooooooove it."	Brian Juergens
Tomato 8/10	Milk (2008)	"Equal parts sweetness, melancholy and rage, Milk is a wonderfully immersive, warts-and-all journey into the gay community at a vital moment in civil rights history."	Brian Juergens
Tomato 7/10	Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008)	"A charming tour through a wonderfully authentic New York City landscape that takes full advantage of the magic that the city offers to everyone, regardless of sexuality."	Brian Juergens
Tomato 8/10	The Nines (2007)	"When I read that Ryan Reynolds was playing not one, but three characters in this movie -- one of whom is gay -- my ticket pretty much bought itself. They had me at 'himbo'."	Brian Juergens
Tomato 7/10	Outrage (2009)	"A well-documented cautionary tale that should spark broader discussion of the integrity of those making our laws, and the larger implications of living a closeted life."	Brian Juergens
Tomato 6/10	Pedro (2009)	"Lacks the polish, star power or distinct voice of brother-in-arms Milk, but pays earnest tribute to a man who shattered preconceptions about gays and people with AIDS."	Brian Juergens
Tomato 7/10	Shelter (2008)	"Shelter gives hope that gay romances have come of age."	Brian Juergens
Tomato 7/10	Teeth (2008)	"Much like Dawn's ill-fated gyno visit, a peek beneath the folds of this clever and surprisingly amusing little horror comedy holds a few surprises for curious gay viewers."	Brian Juergens
Tomato 7/10	Tropic Thunder (2008)	"A very funny Hollywood story with a gay character who doesn't mince or terrify the straight characters and comes out without being punished. If only this weren't a satire."	Brian Juergens
