Michael Ontkean DVD

Making Love

Michael Ontkean, Kate Jackson, Harry Hamlin, Wendy Hiller, Arthur Hill
Probably the best movie about gay subject matter before Brokeback Mountain. It deals with the issue in a very rational, non-stereotypical, and realistic way. You wont find any lisping queens in drag, though most of the gay characters are quite promiscuous. This was the pre-AIDs era after all.

The DVD itself is very bargain-basement. My case arrived with a warped and cheap feeling cover. No booklet. No features other than the theatrical trailer (complete with the "OMG this movie might freak you out, so be careful!" warning message in red right before it plays).

Summer of the Monkeys

Michael Ontkean, Leslie Hope, Wilford Brimley, Corey Sevier, Katie Stuart
I have not read the book, so I have no point of reference there, but I did enjoy the movie very much.
It really is touching, and I thought it was well done all around.
HOWEVER, there is no way I'd give this a G rating. I was pretty regretful to have let my child watch this one, without skipping over parts. I don't think she caught the part where an old bootlegger is described as one who would shoot you and put your head up on a stick as a warning to others, but I am sure she did notice the dead body shown later in the film.
