Ah, the blossoming of desire!
Jan 24 2004
Format:DVD
Three delicious gay-themed short stories in one. POOL DAYS about a young boy who discovers what steam rooms [my what gorgeous hunks] and shower rooms and locker rooms are all about. He makes an attempt to try it out but never really jumps in the pool. Too bad. In FRIEND OF DOROTHY [that's all about being a lover of Judy Garland] we follow another young boy who is desperately trying to get hit on while attending NYU. He finally does get his gorgeous roomy in a very sensual scene only to see him graduate. Can't believe that this cutie patootie can't get laid in the Village. He sits around in Washington Square Park and gets passed over. Not real. But, again, all the actors are gorgeous. Finally there's DISCO YEARS. Young boy meets another beautiful blonde beauty playing tennis, and finally they meet for a midnight nude dip in the pool and turn it into a one night stand of passion. But, after some accepting of his sexuality and confessing to his Mom, who seems a bit too strained and lost in her own world of disco, he ends up coming to terms with his life and dances his disco buns off. All three films are American produced and sometimes the acting is obvious, but the guys are gorgeous to look at and some of the leads do a decent job of it. I always wonder how they do those wet kissing scenes. If these actors are straight, how do they put so much into the sexual scenes as well? My hats off to their believability.
The Disco Years is a Winner
Sep 26 2003

I couldn't get into the first two shorts here, finding the lead protagonists either boring and uninspired (Pool Days) or just plain weird (A Friend of Dorothy). But I was very impressed with the third short, The Disco Years. The film is simple and direct in its depiction of the trials and traumas of a teenager coming to terms with his sexuality, and hats of to Matt Nolan, who plays the lead protagonist Tom. He turns in such a sweet and emotionally honest performance, its hard not to be moved by him, and his experience.

Good Films!
Wow, very good! Much Better than 2. I watched these films out of order but was pleasantly surprised by the vast differences. The films were longer and much more fulfilling. Read more

I only liked the first one
The first of these three stories was OK, but (in my opinion) the other two stories had unnecessary and unwanted female characters hogging the screen. Read more
