Die Konkurrentin (The Competitor)

Die Konkurrentin is one of the better lesbian love stories to come out of Germany. I have to admit most I don't understand. Could be because of the subtitles, I wish I had paid more attention in High School German classes.

Katerina is a wife and mother in her forties. She is also a business analyst. When her boss' son decides that they should employ Marin to help Katerina. They become rivals/competitors. Constantly at opposite ends of everything, which causes problems with they're bosses. Eventually they resolve they're issues pull off a brilliant presentation, (together), winning over a client. Ultimately not only do they work together but also begin a love affair that reaps them rewards not just in they're personal lives but in they're work life.

OUT AT THE WEDDING 2007

One of the funniest film I have seen for awhile. Alex has just gotten engaged to Dana, the man she loves. Dana thinks Alex's family is dead and Alex thinks her family wouldn't approve of Dana, a Jewish African-American. When Alex's sister Jeannie gets married she asks her gay friend Jonathan to escort her. At the wedding Jonathan accidentally starts a rumor that Alex is gay. When Alex tries to tell her sister the truth, Jeannie think that she tried to ruin her wedding. So Alex tells her sister she is gay.

When Jeannie gets back from her honeymoon she wants to meet Alex's girlfriend Dana. Alex makes every excuse possible but Jeannie is adamant. With the help of Jonathan Alex hires a lesbian, Risa to pretend to be her girlfriend Dana. And then the fun starts. What happens when Jeannie meets Risa! And why did she really come to visit her sister!

Watch for a very sexy dance scene.

Staring Andrea Marcellus as Alex, Charlie Schlatter as Jonathan, Desi Lydic as Jeannie and the sexxy Cathy DeBuono as Risa

ELENA UNDONE 2010

Another masterpiece from Nicole Conn, writer and creator of Claire of the Moon and Cynara - Poetry In Motion.

Elena is married to a Paster ( yes religious minister) who through the course of trying to adopt another child meets Peyton. Peyton is an author, single and gay, also trying to adopt a child. They become close friends until one day Peyton realizes she has strong feelings for the sexy unavailable Elena. Peyton tries to distance herself from Elena, only to find Elena has become very attached to her best friend, Peyton and won't let her leave. Through her friendship with Peyton, Elena realizes a few things about herself that she didn't know. Including that the feelings she has for Peyton go a lot deeper than friendship.

Ms Conn and her partner/wife Marina Rice Bader make a very brief appearance in the film, in a video interview, as the story is loosely based on they're story. The chemistry between the lead actresses is quite believable and the editing quite well done. The Kissing Scene was very well done and even left me breathless at the end just because of the length of the scene. The love scene was a very beautiful piece of cinematography. Expertly created by Ms Conn and the Wonderful Actresses involved.

Starring Necar Zadegan as Elena and Traci Dinwiddie as Peyton

I highly recommend this film for beautiful storyline, quality editing and wonderful acting. Rating : 4 1/2 out of 5
