Bedrooms and Hallways

KEVIN MCKIDD and JAMES PUREFOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes yes yes yes, you're doin' it...two at once! That's right, together, and the fact that they are also in the HBO series, Rome, makes it even better. I don't need many other reasons to enjoy a film, although Hugo Weaving and Tom Hollander aren't bad either. This 1998 feature is incredibly funny.

The events leading up to Leo's (Kevin Mckidd) 30th birthday are nothing more than romantic calamity. He enters a men's therapy group where he meets Irish Brendan (James Purefoy). The sexual tension between them is intense, and they pair together very well. That is probably because it's KEVIN MCKIDD and JAMES PUREFOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The humor in this film is poignant and witty. My favorite scene is a parody of Jane Austen that I continue to pull up on youtube for a daily laugh.

Now I have taken to flipping back and forth from Bedrooms and Hallways to Rome for a little extra kick. It's kind of like mixing acid and exstacy. In fact, this film caused me to cheat on Tanner Cohen, about whom I have been fantasizing for some time, by lusting in my heart...and other places. Definitely watch this move. It's great all around.

Happy Endings,

Matthew
