Shame (2011) Rating 7/10

Being a little generous here with the rating.  Fassbender walks around naked through this film with aplomb and perhaps deservedly so considering his endowment.  Sex addicts probably do exist.

Fassbender's character is so dopamine starved without sex that while clearly heterosexual, he has to go to a gay sex club to get .. serviced .. in a desperate moment.

To be that desperate for sex all the time defies belief a little.  But still I guess it could happen to people especially since it might be evolutionarily beneficial.

The Rebound (2009) Rating: 6/10

From the cover, I had the vague idea that the actor in this movie, Justin Bartha, is cute.  It turns out he isn't bad looking here.  And in fact, my gaydar was set off pretty heavily while watching this movie.  This despite the fact he plays a nominally straight unlucky-in-love guy who gets picked up by the quite a bit older Catherine Zeta-Jones.  His character is just way too passive in a way that younger gay men can sometimes be when pursued.  He is pursued by Zeta-Jones in a way that might seem familiar to gay guys, if her character was male.  Maybe the script came from a gay guy, and Bartha's just an amazing actor.  (But if so, why would he try to act like a gay guy...)

I did a little online search and found that Bartha is currently cast as one-half of a gay couple in an NBC sitcom "The New Normal" which premiers in September.

Oh yeah, the movie review.  It's not very good.

Mirror, Mirror (2012) rating: 7/10

Another movie by Tarsem Singh who also directed Immortals and The Fall.  The story is better written in this case, and there are lots of moments of hilarity as well as his usual serving of male skin.  Armie Hammer mostly fits that bill playing the handsome prince who gets robbed of most of his clothing as he enters the evil queen's kingdom.

Mostly lightweight and sometimes self-aware, the film is easily watchable.
