ive wanted to watch this old film (1997). i guess because this is one of the more popular gay-themed movies then. finally, somebody lent me a copy. salamat!
friends spend holiday-weekends in a beautiful house by the lake. couples mostly. i get snapshots of their lives, their infidelities, their fragile egos. funny how spending time together brings out all these issues. and often, there are confrontations, violent ones. and i find it weird. ive spent endless weekends with my friends. we've never turned dramatic or confrontational. maybe its just us. or is it pinoy not to 'rock the boat'?
a mildly entertaining film, a celebration of gay friendship (as if it was so different from straight friendship). poignant when they talk about AIDS and the way the film ends.
recommendable only because of jason alexander's portrayal of an HIV-positive. and the nudity. =)

hello, i've been a follower of this blog for a long time now. keep the good entries coming, please. one thing though, please try to strike out the word "victim" when pertaining to people living with aids/hiv. it will help our brothers and sisters living with the virus, feel more empowered and it lessens the stigma po. thanks! MORE POWER!
i hope it wasn't jay alexander who showed some skin (or foreskin?).
