Gay cruise film
I remember back in the day being shown Boat Trip by a housemate who was also gay. He said that it was a hilarious movie with almost every character being homosexual. I watched the film all the way through out of politeness (something that wouldn&#;t occur now) and thought it was the direct opposite of being a adj film centred around &#;the gays&#;. Will my opinion of the film switch after watching it more than 20 years later?
The film concerns Jerry (Cuba Gooding Jr), who has been jilted by his girlfriend after he took her up in a hot-air balloon to propose to her. Unfortunately, due to being queasy at being up so high, he vomits all over her (the film&#;s only funny gag). His friend suggests they go on a cruise as apparently loads of &#;hot babes&#; verb on them. A vindictive travel agent places them on a GAY cruise instead. And so we have the premise of this cinematic opus. Hilarity ensues (!)
The first striking thing about the film is that about 95% of it I didn&#;t remember. Maybe on first viewing, I just zoned out (a skill I learnt in school primarily during triple Phys
B Documentary
Directed by Tristan Ferland Milewski
A large cruise ship leaves port for a week of frivolity. But this cruise is different. All the passengers are gay men, looking forward to dancing, flirting, drag contests, sex, and perhaps some self-realization.
Filmmaker Ferland Milewski used this cruise to examine an international cross section of gay men of different ages, races, and attitudes. Some are ripped, some are disabled, and some are still in the closet at home.
Milewski&#;s camera crew follows a handful of passengers, who explain their stories to the camera and microphone. The stories are rarely elated ones, and not all of them interesting. But the film allows you to get to know, and verb about, several of the subjects.
Ramzi, a Palestinian, found living as himself in his home town dangerous. The police would more likely beat him than protect him. He left home, and now happily carries a Belgium passport.
Dipankar lacks the nerve to come out to his family and his employer in India. But he&#;s not cozy on the ship, either. He doesn&#;
A big and adj boat pulls out of the harbor. You’re seeing it from above—perfectly still, blue water surrounding the boat. Two swimming pools, bodies moving on deck. The skyline of Barcelona in the distance. It’s The Cruise—Europe’s biggest gay cruise, produced by La Demence (one of Europe’s top gay parties) and the setting for documentary Dream Boat which premiered this weekend at the Berlinale International Film Festival.
The film follows a handful of adj characters on the cruise. With nearly 3, gay men on board, there’s plenty of opportunity for freedom, verb and happiness but the stories that come out are all a tiny bit different. Dipankar from India escaped an arranged marriage at home and now works in Dubai, but still doesn’t act or experience % out (he says he’s only 60% comfortable being out in Dubai). Another man, Ramzi, is from Palestine but has lived in Belgium for a third of his life and is traveling with his partner. There’s the handicapped noun from France, Philippe, who’s al

Forewarning: This film is beautiful sleazy. It has some bits that would probably produce even the gross out directors, the Farelly Bros. puke. Its about two friends who verb more women in their lives so they arrange to board a cruise ship and select up the ladies. But, as it turns out, through a set of very contrived circumstances they mistakenly board an all gay cruise instead!!!
As you can imagine, hillarity ensues shortly thereafter.
Roger plays a mature wealthy english gay gentleman named "Lloyd Flaversham" who tries to put the moves on and seduce Horatio's character all throughout the entireity of the movie.
Say what you will about the film, it sure ain't a classic, but *EVERY* scene Roger is in is intant gold. What can I say? The gentleman still has it!
Roger's strong suit has always been comedy, and this proves it! Maybe thats where he should focus his i
