9 Dead Gay Guys  Rating: Rating:  - Comedy GoldRented this movie on a lark and decided to buy it before the end. Showed it to our friends (including some conservative friends) as background during a card game and had to turn it off, because people kept paying attention to it. The movie is certainly risque, but it is unbelievably funny. Though I should warn you rating this movie high, as you will, will have Amazon reccomending you gay coming of age drama for no reason I can figure out other than the homosexuality of the characters in the film, so you may not want to use it for your reccomendations. Rating:  - 'GLENN MULHERN' MADE THE MOVIE A NOTCH ABOVE ACCEPTABLE:-)THIS WAS A GOOD WAY TO AVOID G.W. AND HIS SUPREME (7/19) O'CONNOR REPLACEMENT NOMINEE--- ANYTHING TO AVOID THE PUKE-IN-CHIEF! THIS FILM IS CUTE, HOWEVER IT WAS (NOT EASY TO HEAR THE DIALOGUE), MUSIC WAS FUN (NO SOUNDTRACK) SEVERAL FUN CAMPY CHARACTERS, ESP THE LARGE LADY, AND THE MAN WITH THE CIGARETTE HOLDER. GLENN MULHERN IS A FUN ACTOR TO KEEP YOUR EYE ON IN THE FUTURE. I WOULD NOT BUY, RENT FIRST? GAY MOVIES ARE IMPROVING, AND HOPEFULLY MORE WILL MEET 5IVE/5 STARS QUALITY IN THE FUTURE? A WAY TO PASS THE EVENING, IN S.E. WYOMING 2005. Rating: - Finally an Irish Comedy for the Rest Of Us!What a great movie! While the story is based in London, it is about 2 Irish guys abroad. How the Irish view colors their view and experiences. How well Irish-English describes bizarre situations. How others respond to the Irish. Looking to get out of Ireland, seemingly the North, to make a buck, our fellows live off the city, and discover new ways to get by. What follows is a very light and funny story of how different ethnic groups clash in even little ways as they melt in the pot, and the inter-relatedness of it all. I watch lots of 'gay' movies, and so many of them stink. This one sails, avoids political correctness, yet is never mean spirited. If you do not get Irish humor or social commentary, skip it. Otherwise, you will have a great time! Rating:  - Decent movie, but worst. dvd. sound. ever.Nine Dead Gay Guys (Lab Ky Mo, 2002) Nine Dead Gay Guys is an otherwise amusing film that suffers from the single worst sound transfer I've ever encountered on a DVD, and I've watched a whole lot of low-budget DVDs over the years. The story concerns Byron (Touching the Void's Brendan Mackey) and his best friend Kenny (character actor Glen Mulhern) traversing their way through a small segment of the London gay underground. Kenny has come over from Ireland to visit Byron, and has no idea of what Byron does in London to earn money. When he finds out, he's initially disgusted, but ends up falling right into it with Jeff (Steven Berkoff of War and Remembrance, Absolute Beginners, The Krays, etc.), one of Byron's favorite tricks. The problem is, everywhere Kenny goes, gay guys turn up, well, dead. Add in a subplot about an orthodox Jew who goes under the alias Golders Green (Simon Godley, a regular minor character on Alias Smith and Jones) with a bedful of money, and you've got a comedy. Well, okay, you've got a mishmash of stereotypes. But it does contain some genuinely funny moments, some of them possibly unintentional (for example, the Desperate Dwarf, played by Raymond Griffiths, looks way too much like Graham Norton for the casting to be a coincidence). Ultimately, it could have been a mindless, amusing piece of tripe well worth whiling away an evening. But then comes the sound transfer. By now, I'm sure we're all well aware that there has yet to be a DVD made, at least in my experience, that has a proper sound transfer. To a one, the music is far too loud, and the voices are far too soft. Nine Dead Gay Guys takes it to extremes, forcing the viewer to turn the sound up almost to the maximum when there's nothing but voice and ambient sound, resulting in deafening blasts of music on regular occasions. It's hideous. I've heard better sound transfer on public-domain flicks from fly-by-night companies. ** (half a point knocked off for horrible sound transfer). |
