Has anybody else seen this movie? Anybody else addicted by it?

Shelter (2007/2008)



This is probably the best gay-themed movie I've seen so far. Better than Latter Days... hell, better than Brokeback Mountain even. It's one of those movies (of any genre!) that you wanna watch over and over again.

"A confused young artist is torn between his family and his future in 'Shelter,' a sensitive romantic drama from the writer and director Jonah Markowitz. Set in the working-class San Pedro area of Los Angeles, the movie centers on Zach (Trevor Wright), a short-order cook. Between shifts Zach pursues a desultory relationship with his girlfriend, Tori (Katie Walder), and acts as surrogate father to his 5-year-old nephew, Cody (Jackson Wurth). His real passion, however, is painting, expressed in the stenciled graffiti he sprays on neighborhood buildings and in the art-school dreams that his selfish sister (Tina Holmes) is determined to sabotage. Everything changes when Zach finds himself drawn to Shaun (Brad Rowe), a confident writer and eager enabler of all of Zach’s passions. As the two hit the surf and Shaun’s mattress with equal enthusiasm, the movie’s abundance of tanned bodies, rolling waves and golden sunsets create an aesthetic of inoffensive hedonism that perfectly matches the subject matter. Coming out has rarely looked so pretty." — Jeannette Catsoulis, The New York Times

Yeah, I've seen this movie before and watched it like 100 times or more already... It has a great story that anyone who watches it will love regardless of their sexual orientation. Trevor is such a great actor, very convincing, sincere and emotionally committed to his role as Zach in the film. I've never known this guy before until I saw this movie and he totally captivated me after watching this movie. It was a delightful experience to have seen movie such as this one, sort of like an anti-brokeback mountain storyline with a happy ending. And I loved the fact that the actors who played the roles in the movie are not gay..

Please watch this movie guys you can check in Youtube or search it in Google videos..

P.S

Great song by Shane Mack.. Lie to Me, you'll know what i mean after watchin it.

I have watched this movie for the nth time already, and I just can't get enough of it. It's just sad that it's only very recent since I discovered this movie. I love everything about this, and yeah, the music of Shane Mack is great, I have it on my phone, both Lie To Me and I Like That. I became a fan of Trevor Wright because of this film, I just hope there will be a sequel to this movie, (It's not too late you know). Yeah... overall.. I give it 100 over 10. HAHAHAHAHA! ) SUPER GREAT MOVIE, WILL SURELY BECOME ONE OF YOUR FAVORITES WHETHER YOU'RE HETERO or HOMO or BI!
