Guys and Balls
September 26, 2006
Here's another movie review. I'm definitely taking advantage of my netflix membership and have been watching many foreign and other "gay" movies. Surprisingly, or not, netflix has a huge assortment.
Guys and Balls - I have to admit, I saw the title and just selected it. However, the movie turns out to be very different than the titles "suggests".
The story is about Ecki (main character) and his love of soccer/football. It's his life and unfortunate events happen that alienate him from his childhood city, family and friends. He then leaves this behind to find himself, escape the ridicule and quite possibly form a "gay team" to challenge the biggoted people he once played soccer with.
The movie is actually pretty good. German with English subtitles. It doesn't have nudity, if that's what you're looking for. Cutie David Rott plays Ecki's eye candy object of affection.
Of course, I wish there were some more scenes I thought there would be with a movie having such a title. Darn near porno sounding, but hey, sometimes it's good to watch a movie because of it's plot, not it's aesthetic qualities.
**Nothing else to say really, I haven't been posting much, perhaps my drive is down. I'll try and find a spark again...
