Ghost Town (2008) - No Gay Content

Ghosttown_galleryposter In Ghost Town, Ricky Gervais plays a dentist who has major issues with people. After dying for 7 minutes during a surgical procedure, he starts seeing dead people, one of such people is Greg Kinnear's character, who wants Ricky to prevent Greg's wife (Tea Leoni) from marrying this jerk (played by Billy Campbell).

The premise is preposterous but the movie is actually quite good. Ricky's delivery is very very good, and I'll just about see any movie with Greg Kinnear (he looks like my hubby).

We don't really get any gay content, except perhaps for this one comment from a naked guy (played by Jeff Hiller).  The naked guy is dead and his ghost is after Ricky Gervais to ask for a favor.  One time, the naked guy mentions the guy Tea Leoni is supposed to get married to (Billy Campbell's character) is cute. Not really gay, but I thought I'd mention it.

Burn After Reading (2008) - Shipwreck 4

Burnafterreading_galleryposter2 Burn After Reading is better than mediocre, but not quite good. In the movie, Brad Pitt and Frances McDormand are world class losers who come across top secret info that John Malkovich lost (he plays an former CIA employee).  The two retards go on a quest to try to get money in exchange for the information they found -- they go to the CIA and the Russians trying to sell the info. Bad idea.

Brad Pitt was pretty bad in his portrayal of a stupid personal trainer and so was Frances in her protrayal of a shallow gym employee craving love and plastic surgery. BurnafterreadingbrandandfrancesTilda was the only one doing some acting in the movie (she plays John Malkovich's wife, a cold and bitter bitch).

We have a tiny bit of bad gay content. In one scene, John Malkovich is talking to a colleague when the colleague realizes a guy is staring at John Malkovich, at which point the colleague asks John whether "he turned poof on me"...the tone was pretty derogatory.
