Best gay kiss by a black male. Check out the short film: One on One

This is completely adorable.... 'One On One' follows Alex and Trevor as they work out their relationship on and off the basketball court, after one of them asks the other one to join a waltz class together. Written and directed by Luis Fernando Midence http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1664007/ Official selection New York City International Film Festival, Tampa International Gay & Lesbian Film Festival, San Diego Latino Film Festival, OUTRAgeous: Santa Barbara GLBT Film Festival & Lesbian Film Festival, TLAGay Short Film Contest, Red Wasp film Festival, and Out Takes Dallas. I like that they did not hide or try to fake the kiss at the end ... ...even making the juicy sounds which let us know they're doing it right -- with tongue. Same sex couples kiss like all lovers do. And its real. And its beautiful. And it should never be faked or hidden in a film. Kudos to sexy young talented actor/dancer... Timothy Paul Brown (resume) and his co-star Braulio Cruz-Ortiz ... for the sweetest kiss we've seen in a minute. We'll be keeping our eye out for Timothy. Young black male actors unafraid to tongue another man down on camera are rare indeed. But their numbers are happily growing. Yay to that! ~

Imagine James Franco watching you have sex with a male hooker. Ohh ...

... for one lucky bastard it happened. PROPS: PopEater In a televised interview with James Lipton for 'Inside the Actors Studio,' Franco reflects on the time when, researching a role, he ended up watching a gigolo have sex with a man. At the time, Franco was studying for his role in 'Sonny,' where he played a male prostitute. Wow. How hot would that be? Franco sitting in the corner, shirtless, watching you get your sweaty groove on, studying you -- while you mentally will him to join in. Some guys have all the luck. I fell in love with Franco back when I first saw in James Dean. Check out that film (there's a nude scene - Yay! - hence the love) and all James Franco's hottest flicks

Wow! Porn star Mello in black gay indy flick Partly Cloudy

Amazon Product Description From writer/director Bobby Peoples comes a film that tells the story of two lovers who fall for the same man, however all is not as it seems when that love is between two men. In a love story ripped from today's headlines regarding the "Down Low", in which African American men secretly engage in a physial and emotional relationships with other men. Partly Cloudy asks the question, "Does he love she or Does he love he?" Partly Cloudy arrived on our radar like a summer sun shower - out of the clear blue sky, warm and delightfully refreshing ... but one wonders why there was no warning, no build-up, no clouds announcing its arrival. Still, its here, so lets discuss. One reviewer, while excoriating the film's acting and production, pointed out the porn star in the cast, Mello. He goes on to say... "Yes they cast a porn star in this flick and actually he provides some much needed entertainment in the movie with his slick delivery and quite comfortable presence on screen..." Now, that sounds like enough reason to check this film out. We firmly believe a porn past should not bar anyone from other pursuits, maybe by Hollywood standards but certainly not by ours. Another reviewer even blamed the bad production on Hollywood for not producing such material, but loved the story anyway. An interesting point, though we can hardly excuse really horrible production if that is in fact the case. However, we ordered this film anyway, despite the scathing 3 reviews its garnered since it's March 2010 release, in part to support the effort, and in part because we do love Mello, and have wondered where he's been. Congrats to him and the whole team, and we wish them the best. See the clips below to decide for yourself whether you want to support fledgling Queer Black Cinema, or just sit on the sidelines and bitch about it. For some of us, its a no brainer.

For Colored Girls: A chilling and wonderful film

The theatre was packed with Black women - young, old, classy, ghetto – and smack in the middle of them all was my boo and I. Two black gay men there to see Tyler Perry’s latest which had garnered mixed reviews, some scathing. I yearned to see this film anyway because I couldn’t believe that with the cast of Janet Jackson, Loretta Devine, Thandie Newton, Whoopie Goldberg, Kimberly Elise, Hill Harper and more that it could be the “train wreck” described in the Hollywood Reporter, or “too melodramatic” as touted by Variety. I wasn’t wrong. Though if by calling it melodramatic Variety meant the film was an emotional tsunami, then I’d have to agree. Shocking scenes of physical and emotional violence did in fact assault the senses, but in a way which should make us reflect on all the pain and tragedy that we all experience, endure, and must ultimately overcome. Many critics also thought The Color Purple was too melodramatic. Maybe some minds cannot process a sudden flood of complicated emotions where the answers are sometimes just other questions. Based on Ntozake Shange's play "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf." Unlike the original play which featured only 7 women known by colors performing the collection of 20 poems, the movie has given each of the 20 characters names. Each of the poems deal with intense issues that particularly impact women in a thought-provoking commentary on what it means to be a female of color in the world. But ‘For Colored Girls’ isn’t just a film for girls or even ones of color; literally packed with Oscar-worthy performances not one single event in the film is emotionally exclusive to gender or race. The sobering messages of self-love, sexual abuse and religious extremism are truly universal. Kudos to Tyler Perry for delivering Shange’s words in a contemporary vehicle, a chilling and wonderful film which a new generation can claim as its own. ~
