Screen Queen

Gay filmmaker Christopher Landon, son of the late Michael “Little House on the Prairie” Landon, has established himself as writer and director of movies in the horror and thriller genres. He continues that trend with his new movie, “Drop” (Universal/Blumhouse).

Gay love is in the air! Queer filmmaker Andrew Ahn’s semi-remake of Ang Lee’s “The Wedding Banquet” is about to have its Spring theatrical release. Preceding it by a week or so is gay filmmaker Roshan Sethi’s “A Nice Indian Boy” (Levantine Films). Sethi, who wrote and directed the marvelous 2021 pandemic rom-com “7 Days,” has proven himself a filmmaker of merit.

Music documentaries, especially those of LGBTQ interest, continue to be very popular. In 2024 alone, there were several including “Let The Canary Sing” (about Cyndi Lauper), “Indigo Girls: It’s Only Life After All,” “Luther: Never Too Much” (about Luther Vandross), “Elton John: Never Too Late,” and “I Am Celine Dion.”

During these turbulent times, in movies including “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” and “Blink Twice,” filmmakers have been responding with flicks that feature unstable billionaire characters with cult followings such as Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, as well as the current POTUS. Onscreen, some of these insidious white men get their comeuppance and others simply get away with their dastardly deeds.

In “Adult Best Friends” (Visit Films), Katie (co-screenwriter Katie Corwin) and Delaney (director and co-screenwriter Delaney Buffett, daughter of Jimmy) have been besties since middle school when they bonded at age 12. Katie lives with her hot boyfriend John (Mason Gooding, son of Cuba), which is a bone of contention for Delaney who feels like she’s losing her BFF.

Have you ever watched a movie where you could see every plot point coming, but it didn’t matter because the performances by the lead actors were so compelling that you stuck with it? Such is the case with director and co-writer Kyle Hausmann-Stokes’ “My Dead Friend Zoe” (Universal).

If you are a fan of the popular queer Netflix series “Heartstopper,” then you will probably also adore “Bonus Track” (Sunrise Films). Co-written by actor Josh O’Connor (“Challengers,” “God’s Own Country,” and the forthcoming gay movie “The History of Sound”), “Bonus Track” is the feature-length debut from director Julia Jackman.
