I'd never heard of "Total Eclipse" or "Buck and Chuck" but will now definitely check 'em out.

I've seen Total Eclipse. If you want to see Leo DiCaprio in the nude or pulling a cork out of bottle with his bare shoulder blades I can recommend it. Otherwise, I thought the movie was so depressing that I gave my copy away to someone else who wanted it, since I knew I wouldn't ever watch it again.

Did anyone see Summer Storm, that came out earlier this year. It's a small film from France(?) about gay boys on a rowing team. Having been a rower myself, I really wanted to catch it, but it came and went in a week here in LA.

I just saw X-Men III this afternoon. I was disappointed in it, but perhaps I should have stuck to my original plan and rent the other two first.....

Yes! I've seen (and recorded) it last week! I had heard about it a while ago, but like "Beautiful Thing" I thought this is yet another 'teenage' romance, which I wouldn't be able to relate to (my teenage years are well over..), but I was very pleasantly surprised!! By the way it's a German movie.
I have digital television for 2 months now or so and I have 6+ exclusively movie-channels. I get a programme every first of the month (yesterday for June) and mark in red all I need to see/tape. So I taped "Sommersturm" and "De-Lovely". I like them both a lot! I didn't know much about any of them, so discovering it 'unspoiled' was wonderful (I'm still grieving about the fact that I knew far too much about BBM before seeing it the first time..).
It's not out on DVD yet, I know, but, if you get a chance to see "Sommersturm" do! It is a beautiful little film. I won't reveal too much, but there are very sweet moments and watch out for the character called 'Leo'! MAJOR-CUTE! ;o)

I was a bit disappointed by De-lovely. They downplayed his gayness in several ways: it was all off-camera, and definitely second-place to his marriage, which other biographies deny. And then they sneered at Night and Day for downplaying it more. According to one biography, "You're the Top" means just what it says. He also had some alternate words for use at private functions. If I can find them I'll post them here.
