Turning into a kind of ‘six degrees’ for gay culture, a new film for BBC will see Dr. Who actor Matt Smith playing gay.
Christopher And His Kind is based upon gay author Christopher Isherwood’s memoir and his experiences in the pre-war Berlin of the early ‘30s. Isherwood wrote A Single Man, the source for Tom [...]

I imagine reviewing A Single Man is a bit like trying to write about Tom Ford’s latest fashion collection: how many things can you say about a suit, at the end of the day?
Just like one of Tom’s impeccably tailored suits, A Single Man is traditional in structure, classic in style and doesn’t have many [...]

Talking of soon-to-be-released A Single Man, I’m wondering if there’s been any confusion among audiences what with the Coen brothers’ A Serious Man still doing the rounds in theaters.
I can imagine unwitting moviegoers, keen to check out Tom Ford’s directing debut, turning up to see a story about a college professor in 1960’s America who’s [...]
