Movie Review - Starting Out in the Evening

Starting Out in the Evening features Frank Langella as aging novelist Leonard Schiller who published 4 successful novels decades ago. Now working on his last novel, he is doggedly pursued by a master’s student, Heather, played by Lauren Ambrose, who claims that his popularity can be resurrected by her master’s thesis about his past work. Also Leonard has an attentive daughter, Ariel who used to be a dancer and is now Pilates instructor and whose biological clock is ticking as she approaches 40. She rekindles her romance with Casey, played by Adrian Lester, who has previously hurt her because he is a reluctant father.

Leonard is of a time of restraint and formality in relationships with the fairer sex that precludes his associating with Heather in the way she seems to require for both her work and her idolization of him. But she is so pushy and ambitious that she penetrates his defenses on both accounts and befriends Ariel as well. Heather’s pushiness made me downright uncomfortable. I squirmed in my seat.

There were lots of literary references made throughout the movie and I saw it with an older librarian and even she was not that well read. We both found that level of literary name dropping pretentious. You have to be extremely read to know them all. I would imagine you would need an advanced degree in Literature to know them all. Yet, this was an acting tour de force for Frank Langella. Though, I must agree that he did span looking extremely old and decrepit to extremely fit during the movie.

I really wanted to like this movie, as I am a big fan of Mr. Langella’s and have seen most of his movies, but I could not as I found Heather’s character too pushy and the movie too self important. I only recommend this move to staunch Frank Langella fans, and not the ones who only loved him as Dracula.

Movie Review: Uno Bianca

Based on a true story, Uno Bianca (2001) is a made for television movie about a inspector Valerio Maldesi, played by Kim Rossi Stuart, in coastal Rimini, Italy who becomes obsessed with finding who is in the white Uno gang after his superior is killed by them in a horrendous highway shoot out. Michele Soavi directs this mostly suspenseful film.

The White Uno gang robs at will and kills anyone who openly defies them, seemingly without fear of capture, always leaving a stolen white Fiat Uno behind. As Valerio and his partner Rocco, played by Dino Abbrescia, track down the villains, the crimes continue. They actually predict where and when a crime will take place, only to be stymied by their own job assignments.

The film details the political failings and limitations of the Italian police bureaucracy when trying to get things accomplished under pressure and without support. When they finally break the case, they are removed from it entirely by unsympathetic superiors. But, in the end, we all know that our hero will be needed to come to the fore and save the day.

I found the first half of the film a bit slow and to need some serious editing. Some moments of it kept me at the edge of my seat, but not as much as the second half of the film which was just riveting. There was no chemistry between Valerio and his wife, and that is important for the film. The remainder of the casting was great and the camera work was excellent.

This was a very enjoyable cop film, one of the better ones I’ve seen even though it is in Italian with English subtitles. Even if you don’t especially like the first disc, and find yourself saying “So what? This happens on Law & Order all the time.” Stay with it because you will like the second one much, much better. I give it

Ten Tiny Things

So I was tagged by Synrgy to do this meme thang...

1. When you were born, how much did you weigh?

6 pounds, 10 ounces of squalling baby girl. My identical twin was 7 pounds on the dot and preceded me by 4 minutes. She squalled too. Sounded like a chicken house per our mother.

2. What's you're sugar poison?

Belgian chocolate. I cannot resist the divine smoothness and richness of Belgian chocolate. I am so spoiled. But, of course now I cannot indulge this vice anymore due to my migraine diet that forbids caffeine. It is that most difficult food to do without.

3. If you had to choose between meat and cheese for the rest of your life,
   which would you choose? Then be specific.

Meat. Probably chicken, because you can spice it to taste like just about anything you want.

4. What, is your opinion, is the worst song ever?

Blue Velvet as sung by Bobby Vinton. Hearing it makes me want to throw up. It is my music to throw up to.

5. Who was your favorite teacher growing up and why?

My high school art teacher. I don’t remember his name, but he really helped to foster my talent and introduced me to many different media. We worked with clay, plaster, crea-stone, soapstone, watercolors, oils, chalk, pencil, ink, lino cuts and prints, and much more. He had a beard and was gay. But that sort of thing wasn’t spoken about in 1973.

6. What personal activity, when performed in public, bothers you the most?

Farting. Ugh. The smell, when I realize what it is, that is just so disgusting.

7. Ok, there's a $50 bill lying on the ground. You pick it up. Dumbfounded by your incredible luck, what do you selfishly purchase?

Nothing. I want for nothing.

8. Do you have a recurring nightmare? If so, explain.

Yes I do. I have had this terrifying nightmare since childhood that there is this white and perfect piece of paper or surface, that suddenly gets blemished or crinkled, then just goes all to hell and wrinkles up into a wadded up ball of trash as if it was in a wreck. So, it could be say the perfect surface of a shiny new car door, that suddenly is ruined or just a pillow case that gets dirty and blotchy. But, while it may not be scary to you, I used wake up in terror from it. Therapists and I have concluded that it is my fear of death and or loss of innocence or aging. I don’t have those dreams much anymore. Guess I’m not so innocent now.

9. Name one place on Earth you've never been, but vow to visit at least once.

There are so many places, here is a list: Thailand, Egypt, Japan, Myanmar, China, India, Greece, Australia, New Zealand, Ecuador, Brazil, Spain, Morocco, Lebanon, Tibet, and many more.

10. You notice that question #9 wasn't really a question. You feel smart for catching such a small detail. What else can you do really well that reminds you how smart you are?

Well, I can play a mean game of solitaire.

I tag Peter, Toni, Graham, Angelo, and Chris.


The meme questions are in the comments for your ease of use. (You can thank me later.)

Friday Fantasy - Part 13, Ecuadorian Equinox

Packing at base camp was complete and the discussion as to who would leave began. All non ex-military personnel were to go, but Mr. Butterfly refused to leave Dr. Fairview behind. There was an impasse. In the end, José drove William and a sedated Allen back to Quito in the Land Rover with all of the equipment and supplies.

They had all agreed that Mr. B could come along with the ex-Marines to the camp at 3200 meters north, but would not be pandered to if he could not keep up the pace or if he came down with altitude sickness. He had to keep up with them or be left behind. Chuck was going to lead Austin and Mr. Butterfly to the camp at 3200 meters north where they would stay to rendezvous or support Pete and Oscar. Chuck and Austin were fully armed with machine guns and automatic pistols. Mr. Butterfly was allowed to carry a hunting knife and told to keep his head down.

As Chuck already knew the way, he led them uphill and north at a fair trot. Mr. Butterfly had done some running and hoped that it would pay off now and he would be able to keep up. The pace was not that fast, but it was at higher altitude than he was accustomed to. He felt pretty good at this pace. So they continued for the better part of the day.

Towards sundown they reached the camp at 3200 meters north without any problems and occupied it. Chuck noticed the outcropping of rocks overlooking the camp and decided that that was a great place to guard the camp from and volunteered to take first watch. He hauled himself up there and held his machine gun close by. Austin and Mr. Butterfly got into the tent and saw the sleeping bags zipped together.

Austin dragged the joined bags out of the tent, looked up at Chuck and said “Yo Chuck, what’s up with this orgy sized bag dude?”

“What does it look like? I needed to do that to make my move on the sexy Dr. Fairview.” Then he grinned lasciviously.

Mr. Butterfly could not stand another minute of this bullshit. “You are so full of it Chuck. She wouldn’t give the likes of you the time of day, much less sleep with you!”

“Yeah, I gotta go with Mr. B here Chuck. You are just a lying sack of shit.”

“Whatever. Believe what you will.”

“You are gonna catch hell when she and Oscar are here to say otherwise.”, replied Austin.

Chucks pea brain worked hard on that for a moment or two and decided that they had a point. “Oh okay. I give in. We just did it to keep Dr. Fairview warm at night. Nothing happened.” Then he grumbled to himself “Not that I didn’t try… but that fucking bitch thought she was too good for me.” Fortunately Austin and Mr. Butterfly could not hear the last part.

Austin had dragged the joined bag back into the tent already. “I dunno Mr. B; do you think we should leave it this way?”

“It would be warmer and the temperature is dropping up here at night.”, replied Mr. Butterfly.

“Yeah, where we were at the south camp it got chilly in the cloud forest. But we never thought of sharing our body heat. It just never occurred to us. It’s not like we would have to take off our clothes or anything, just being in the same bag would help.”

“It is okay with me if it is okay with you.”

Austin replied “Let’s do it then.”

So, they both climbed into the joined bags. Pretty soon, Austin began thinking about his fiancée back home and how he missed her, his redheaded Diane, his fire crotch Diane. It didn’t take long and he had a woody. But he couldn’t excuse himself to go outside to jerk off because Chuck was out there and would see him. Mr. B was not sleeping yet. Fuck, what was a boy to do to get off around here? He snuck his hand down in his pants, god he wanted to stroke himself so badly, but Mr. B would hear. He sighed deeply.

“Well that was a really deep sigh, care to talk about it?”, asked Mr. Butterfly.

“I’m just missing my girl back home so badly.”

“What is her name?”

“Diane.”

“Tell me about her.”

“She is a redhead and really built.” Here Austin sighed really deeply again. “She has huge soft titties, a tiny waist and a fire crotch. God when I am inside her she just milks my cock dry. It feels amazing.” He paused. “I don’t know why I am telling you all this personal shit…”

“Because you miss her so much, that is why.” The young explorer put his hand on Austin’s shoulder to comfort him and was a bit surprised when Austin came in for a full hug. It just so happened naturally. The young Marine sobbed quietly in his arms. The young explorer could tell that close up that Austin was erect. As if by habit, his hand went down to the other man’s erection. When Austin felt the young explorer’s hand he looked up suddenly at Mr. B’s face with shock, but what the young explorer was doing felt so good, that he just closed his eyes, relaxed and pretended it was Diane.

Austin lay back as the young explorer went down into the sleeping bag, unzipped his camos and went down on him. He just pretended that the experienced blow job he was getting was from his redheaded gal, Diane and not a man. He pictured her swaying tits and her bright red curly bush, the lips of her labia around his engorged member.

The young explorer was in heaven too. Austin was a young, healthy Marine. You know, the few the proud. What a gorgeous cut cock he had surrounded by curly pubes. What a body! He was in perfect shape! You could do laundry on those abs! But, he concentrated on the blow job. Slobbering more than needed and trying not to make it seem too gay, so that Austin would have an easy time pretending it was from his Diane. The young explorer knew the score, Austin was straight, and always would be. This was just a personal little part of his fantasy of blowing a straight guy. God, it was hot! He wanted so badly to suck on each of those healthy oval nuts, but would Diane know to do that? Probably not, so he best not too.

Austin began to moan softly and flex his quads and feet. The young explorer knew what this meant. He touched Austin’s balls and they were held right up against his cock ready to unload.

Then softly, Austin said “Oh, I’m gonna shoot!”, as he spurted cum and the young explorer let it fly on Austin’s belly, guiding it with his hand on Austin’s cock. Austin laid back satisfied and ready to sleep.

By then, the young explorer had the hard on of all time and couldn’t wait to relieve himself. He came back up and looked at Austin’s face with closed eyes while he jerked off quickly. Austin pretended not to notice that anything happened.

* * *

It was about sundown when Pete and Oscar made it to the guerrilla leader’s camp where he was holding Dr. Fairview. They were eating passion fruits and the leader was holding his machine gun loosely on her. The plan was decided and Oscar was to make the first move.

“Hola amigo!”, said Oscar with his arms in the air as he approached slowly breaking his cover.

Cristo saw him and swung his machine gun to point at him.

“Lo que hace usted quiere?”, demanded Cristo.

“What do I want? I want to end your suffering. I want the love of a man and I was wondering if you were that man?” Then Oscar undid the belt of his pants and let them drop to the ground, revealing his enormous erection. He continued to move forward, stepping clear of his pants. “I am alone amigo. From the first time I saw you I knew I had to have you. I knew your secret, your deep dark secret. The love that dare not speak its name. Am I right?”

Then Oscar did a little twirl so that Cristo could see his firm ass. “We could tie up Dr. Fairview so that she cannot run and then be together for a while.”

“Or I could shoot you where you stand right now.”, countered Cristo.

“You could, but then you would never know the love of another man. And, might I add, I know how to love a man.”

Cristo gritted his teeth. He was so ashamed that he was gay. But he would not deny himself the love of another man once someone knew. He just could not live denying himself for a moment longer. So, he motioned with his rifle. "Bring Dr. Fairview to the cave hidden behind the vines over there. There is rope over there. Tie up Dr. Fairview tightly, both hands and feet. Put her in there so she cannot see us." He certainly did not want a woman to see his shame.

When it was done, Oscar came back to where Cristo was. They walked off together under the trees away from the cave and found a sheltered spot with moss on the ground. Oscar got finished undressing. Cristo drank in his body. How had Oscar kept his erection this whole time, he wondered? He must really be hot for me he thought. Cristo ran his hands over Oscar’s young and taut body. What great shape he was in. Cristo wanted to share is body’s great shape too. So he took off his shirt, boots and pants too. Oscar didn’t waste any time. He kissed Cristo on the mouth. Cristo was stunned initially, but then opened and kissed back. He was transported. He held Oscar’s face and couldn’t believe it. It was so different than kissing a woman. There was no need for gentleness here. It was all manliness and aggression, hard breathing and tongues wrestling. He was just beginning to like it when Oscar moved down to his neck, then his nipple, delivering a little bite there, oh that hurt but felt good! Then little nibbles down his abs and his pleasure trail to his pubes. Oh, I am so sensitive there! Oh, that feels so good, oh my! He is on my penis, sucking, oh god, he has it all in his mouth. I have to lie down, I feel faint.

So Cristo sat down on the moss, taking Oscar with him. Oscar stayed with him, continuing to blow him. Oscar licked a couple of his fingers and probed Cristo’s ass with them. Cristo just moaned and lifted his legs to give Oscar better access. Oscar was able to push one finger into Cristo’s asshole and find Cristo’s prostate. Then he got two fingers in. Oscar whispered to Cristo “Do you want me to fuck you now Cristo?”

“Ah dios si!”

Oscar already had a condom handy and donned it tout de suite. Then he grabbed Cristo by the waist and rolled him over onto his hands and knees and began to rub his massive cockhead on Cristo’s asshole. A minute later, he got the head into the sphincter. He gripped Cristo’s hips and pushed his way in. Cristo grimaced in pain, grunted, but did not cry out. It took time, involuntary tears and pain on Cristo’s part for Oscar to get in all the way. But once he was in, the pleasure started for Cristo. It was one of those hurts so good things. Oscar varied his pace, pumping slowly, then quickly to maximise pleasure for both of them. He wanted to make sure that this was the best lay of Cristo’s life, because he knew that it might be Cristo’s only lay. Who knew what the future might bring to the guerrilla leader?

He slapped Cristo’s ass and said “Do you like that bitch?”

“Si!”

* * *

So I was all tied up in the cave. I didn’t want to see Oscar and Cristo making whoopee anyhow. I just hoped it was a plan to cut me loose. Then I heard somebody coming into the cave.

“Shh. Sue, it is me, Pete. Just keep still and I’ll have you outta here in no time.”, said Pete as he cut the ropes off of me.

“Well, Pete thank god. I am so glad you are here. Let me hug you!”

“Let’s get out of the cave where there is more room.”

So we got out of the cave and hugged quickly. He was meaty and hot. And strong. I was turned on.

“Keep down; we have to get out of here. Let’s find out how Oscar is doing. I think they are over this way.”

He led and I followed. We heard them before we saw them. We were coming down from a rise and they were below us. We got down on the ground in a prone position. Pete aimed his machine gun.

“Pete, you’re not just going to shoot Cristo, are you?”

“No, but I thought it prudent to have a bead on him just in case. He is armed you know. I’ll not have you questioning my business Dr. Fairvew.”

“Sorry.” I said contritely and I felt a bit stupid for questioning him.

“Apology accepted.”

Just then, another guerrilla entered the jungle and saw Cristo and Oscar and what they were doing. He looked shocked to see what was happening.

“Bájese de Cristo! Pare esto!”, the new guerrilla shouted. He raised his machine gun as if he was going to shoot Oscar.

The couple froze in midfuck.

But a shot rang out from right beside me; Pete had shot the new guerrilla dead.

Book Review - Secrets of a Gay Marine Porn Star

Pre-blog, I was searching for material to help me understand all aspects of the gay experience. I happened across this memoir by Rich Merritt and decided to read it to understand the gay perspective on "don't ask, don't tell". Boy was I ever glad I did. Here is the review that I wrote for Amazon after reading the book:

Brutally honest, August 2, 2005

I loved this book. It is a brutally honest account of a gay man's struggle through fundamentalist Christianity, the US Marine Corps, porn, alcohol, drugs and much more. A true understanding of what it is like to grow up gay in America is conveyed. There is enough detail that you feel like you are there.

All US citizens should read this book to understand that not all of our fellow countrymen and women have the same rights as others. It is a very important book and a fresh and amazing look at this remarkable man's life.

Many better written and more comprehensive reviews have been added since mine. If you haven't read this book, I highly recommend it and you can buy it here.

Since then, Rich has written a novel, Code of Conduct. You can read more about that book here. I intend to buy that book and read it when it is available. You can pre order it from Amazon here and it will be available in bookstores everywhere after January 8, 2008.


I cannot wait to read this book! Of course I will review it afterwards.

Movie Review: The Red and the Black

The Red and the Black (Le Rouge et le Noir, 1997) tells the story of an ambitious peasant carpenter, Julien Sorel, played by Kim Rossi Stuart, in post Napoleon Bonaparte France who tries to escape his lower class upbringing by joining the clergy. He starts off tutoring Latin to the son of a Mayor, but falls in love with the Mayor’s wife, played by Carole Bouquet. They have a secret tryst. Close to being discovered, he goes off to seminary where he is unhappy and unpopular because he is smarter than his peers. On the recommendation of his mentor, a former abbot at the seminary, he is hired by a nobleman in Paris as a secretary. There, he falls for the nobleman’s daughter, played by Judith Godrèche. He impregnates her, and as one might imagine, this does not go over well at all. This French made for television movie was on two dvds and I loved every minute of it. Kim Rossi Stuart was gorgeous and passionate, and I bought him in the part immediately.

The film explores life’s varied intents such as riches, love, piety, freedom, brotherhood, and class equality in an intelligent manner. But, the main character, Sorel, is so impetuous, that he brings us to the dramatic ending without any real conclusion, except his own as he pulls us along in his dramatic story. Nevertheless, I was glued to the film to see how it ended. Hopefully you will be too. I give it

**** of five stars.
