Shelter

[Karl Rand]

One of my favourite movies. Believable plot, faultless acting and realistic dialogue. Sadly the the actor playing Zac appears to have vanished off the movie scene rumour having it his drug addiction got in the way. Odd, given that’s never kept anyone out of Hollywood. Interestingly the actor playing Shaun is supposedly straight - he does have me wondering if he really is 'just acting' in this production though. 

And praise be, this is one gay movie with a happy ending. I’m sick and tired of gay movies with tragic endings.

I'm glad you saw it, when I mention this movie, I sometimes get blank stares from people, they don't seem to remember it, nor seen it.

Yes, I was psyched by the happy ending (pun not intended) and I'm glad that I got a copy of the DVD when it was released.  I've looked for it online since, and it seems to be hard to find now.

I too grabbed the DVD when I could. Why it’s dissapeared and why it didn’t make a much bigger splash I dont know. It was far more deserving of an Academy Award than most of the crap that get one and from my viewpoint far better acted and produced than Brokeback Mountain.
