Great movie. Leave me a peaceful, a bit sad feeling, March 19, 2011
This review is from: Green Plaid Shirt (Amazon Instant Video)
Starting the movie and halfway through, I kinda regret to watch this movie a bit; mostly because i tended to choose a happy ending movie; Real enough to keep me watching but happy ending to give me hope. This movie does not exactly ends with a happy ending;I watched the characters being happy, people die, sexual urge, love; it has everything but at the same time nothing too intense, just a bit of each. And though it goes against my feeling about monogamy, I feel ok about it cause I am not sure about monogamy myself. The more I watch it, it turns out to be a really powerful movie, different character depths, stirs up in me different emotions. I especially like the ending even though I don't usually like anything that is not clearly a happy ending, it does bring me extremely meaningful and hopeful message. All that help them carry on is that moment of forgiveness, and then he's gone... The only thing that is off for me is the video and sound quality. It is a bit hard for me to listen to everything. But at the same time, the fuzziness of the movie made it 80ish and more real than if it is crystal clear. I am just bitching 'cause I could not listen to everything that I wanted to.

Enjoyable & Entertaining, November 7, 2010
This review is from: Green Plaid Shirt (Amazon Instant Video)
I loved the chemistry between the lead couple. Not alot of gay films I can say this about. Well, besides Brokeback Mountain, and Big Eden. This indie-film really did pull off a lot too; less is more as they say. Great acting, emotional depth, great themes. Made me think, and feel, about what the reality is with regard to dealing with death and the part that recollections/memories can play into that. It's a powerful film in that it is not sentimental, but provides a greater overall understanding to life: you feel the struggles and experiences of the characters. And, I think it's the type of film you see a second time and notice new and different things you had't caught the first time 'round. PLEASE NOTE: Kevin Spirtas (as Guy) is out-of-this-world orgasmic hot from hair to toe!!! I mean, just the character name, "Guy". It's such a mininalist description like the names: "shape", "it", "thing, "shadow". I simply love it.

Good Movie, February 9, 2012
This review is from: Green Plaid Shirt (Amazon Instant Video)
I love this film. The description does not do it any justice whatsoever. It is very low-budget and understated. Nonetheless, there are some beautiful pictures of geography (beach scenes). Also, the relationship between the two main characters is so tender and real. I envied that. There are some drawbacks: A little too long and choppy plot. The introduction of this character "Todd" was very contrived. The two main characters seemed to have difficulties suddenly; we needed more development in that area.
