Hommes à louer (2008)
The destruction that is addiction
Just saw this film on Amazon Video. First off this is not a "gay hustler" exploitation film nor is their nudity nor gay sex. This film is about the emotional and physical destruction caused by childhood traumas and addictions to a human being. The movie was hard to watch for these young men are real, not actors...and basically you're watching someone's life deteriorate as time goes by and you know all - except maybe one - will end up dead sooner than later. Their prostitution is a means to an end being drug money where - as they mention - all your values, self pride, self worth and little hope are lost and they're left emotionally empty. A tough movie to watch but very insightful. It will be great if a follow up can be done on these but it's 2015 when I wrote this review and the movie was in 2008 - just based on the severe deterioration of almost all the men interviewed within 1 year - I can probably assumed most passed away by now - very very very sad.
My Amityville Horror (2012)
Its a documentary about a schizophrenic not the paranormal
I just saw this documentary and it should have been named " Danny, Portrait of a Schizophrenic." Its obvious he came from a family that has mental illness. This disturbed man grew up in a sick family full of delusions and hallucinations which created all the "paranormal demonic activity." His reality was the sick parents' delusions and hallucinations. Add to that, the intense media coverage, movies, talk shows, church involvement, books,etc which further added false "proof" that all this happened to an already young vulnerable unwell mind. Unfortunately as the kids mental illness progressed, he lost all track of all reality,he became the kid's character in the infamous movie. What you see in this film is a broken mentally ill man, nothing more.
