GAY & GRAY!

i completely forgot which dvd it was that we were watching when we saw the preview for the gay flick Gray Matters. Heather Graham in a gay role! how cool is that?

good thing that my partner signed up at netflicks and got us a copy of the movie. as soon as we were done with work-related tasks, we practically put everything aside to give way to this much-anticipated film (who wouldn't be so eager to watch Heather?). but my interest for the movie was pretty much left stuck in the intriguing, witty title and gorgeous, hottie lead star.

Gray Matters is a feeble attempt to point up a manhattanite's better-late-than-never realization of her sexual orientation, which predictably led to her coming out affair. some scenes are so overly contrived that you could actually expect what they're gonna do or say next. imagine having that lustful lip lock that Gray and Charlie had and completely obliterate it from your memory the next day. did they actually think that we're idiots to believe such a lie? i've had my share of drunken nights in the past but i would never ever forget the naughty little things i did in those moments.

save for Gray's maudlin sentiments while inside the elevator with her brother, i don't think there was anything great about the script. yeah, Alan Cumming's cab driver role was a momentary breather and held back the movie's total slump. and yes, i am guilty for being at Rachel Shelley's beck and call anytime, anywhere.
