The people that made this awful bore of a movie should have followed their own lead and enrolled in a film school.
The script, the acting, the plot, the characters are creepy and foolish looking start to finish. And cigarettes do not add interest!
I'm thankful for the fast forward button.
Hint --- just look at the first 15 minutes, then skip to the last 15 or so minutes and you will have seen this entire movie. Who came up with this plot?
It would have been more interesting if the fat lady had rolled everywhere instead of walking!

Cigarettes, boredom, and a time warp
Really torn over this one
Failed filmmaker Zachary Wells (Charlie David) returns to his alma mater to be a judge in a film competition. One of the competitors (Richard Harmon)shares his real name--Daniel Reyes--and has entered a film that carries the same name as the film Zach entered years ago! Then things get strange:)
This is one odd film. It mixes science fiction with drama, gay love (and sex) and redemption. It's hard to get a grip on at first (I considered turning it off more than once) but, if you stick with it, everything becomes clear at the end. It's well made and they use some interesting double images or lighting occasionally to push the sci-fi angle (but use it sparingly which is good). The acting varies. David is good and Sean Paul Lockhart (who once did gay porn as Brent Corrigan) is excellent. Harmon however is pretty bad and Tino Descamps (as Shane) is downright terrible. Still the story kept me watching. Also there's male nudity (back views only) and some passionate guy on guy kissing.
On one hand I do like it for its interesting plot and views. On the other hand it leaves too many questions unanswered at the end. So I can only give this a 5. Not terrible but it feels unfinished.
Somewhere between pretentious and artsy
In the genre stretching back decades of "what if I could do it all over again" comes this gay version of "peggy sue got married". Sadly, none of the characters are likable enough to sympathize with...especially the main characters (neither of whom are remotely interesting or professional enough to play a lead in a film). There really is no point or even resolution here...just a lot of mugging for the camera and scenes that make you say, "huh? what did that have to do with anything???" Really not worth watching...even if you're a Brett Corrigan fan (who is back to escorting again...so save up your money and see him in person).
