Even this low r screener, Shelter sh as a film wh huge heart, and one that's been ma wh equal re by the actors and all of the 's not at all like the angst-ridn abomatn of a gay surf flick "Tan L". Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of Brokeback Mt., but I saw a screeng of this film at the SF Gay and Lbian Film Ftival tonight and loved as much as BBM and some ways appreciated more.

TV (creators of such awful cd as Dante's Cove) didn't exactly fill me wh much hope, but to my surprise, I walked out of last night's screeng believg that I'd seen one of the bt films Outft has programmed years, and one of the bt gay films about fay dynamics ever. It jt mix alg wh homosexualy along wh all the other problems life brgs along the way a brilliant manner that is very enjoyable; I was so entertaed wh the ma two characters, Zach and Shn, have amazg, credible, believable chemistry that was portrayed excellently by the actors to where you feel like this scene is gog on right ont of you. I've stated my opn on Zach and Shn, but Jeanne was a believable, strs-filled sister who wish her life uld f wh her fay, and Gabe was the bt iend most gay guys wish they had; someone who jt saw their homosexualy as no thg, and liked them as a iend for the quali they share and fun they have.
