I may have posted this in FEMULATE a ...Dear Stana,<br /><br />I may have posted this in FEMULATE a few years ago. I thought it fits well with the topic of your post. It's a Femulating film, but not a Trans film, since it's about a non-Trans guy posing as a woman to get work in a film (similar to TOOTSIE). But, it's well done and funny in parts.<br /><br />I recently bought the Blu-Ray video of the 2011 German film “RUBBELDIEKATZ” (also known as “WOMEN IN LOVE”). This film is similar to the classic American film “TOOTSIE”. It is about a man who dresses as an “actual” woman to get work in a German movie. TOOTSIE was a better film plot-wise and script-wise, but the crossdressing lead actor in RUBBELDIEKATZ, Matthias Schweighofer, makes a much prettier woman than Dustin Hoffman was in TOOTSIE. Matthias is a blonde “pretty boy” and is quite good-looking both as a man and as a woman. RUBBELDIEKATZ is sold in both DVD format and Blu-Ray. However, the DVD version is in the European format and will NOT play on USA DVD players. But, the Blu-Ray format is universal, so it will play on all Blu-Ray players. The technical and picture quality of the Blu-Ray version is perfect. The cinematography is excellent and the high-definition images are extremely sharp and perfectly focused. The soundtrack is in German, and all the text and packaging are in German, but you can choose to play it with English subtitles, which are very clear and easy to read. There are a number of EXTRA featurettes, and although they look great, they are all in German with no English subtitles available, but fun to watch nonetheless (like the OUTTAKES and featurette on Costumes, which show Matthias wearing many differrent female outfits). Matthias looks really good as a beautiful woman, and he gets to wear 4 or 5 really beautiful feminine ensembles. I bought the new Blu-Ray on Amazon.COM.<br /><br />Love,<br /><br />Sheila.Sheila from Tampahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09230335934380274993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372432081562643074.post-10008569720222845282018-02-01T17:53:18.605-05:002018-02-01T17:53:18.605-05:00Yes it is, so I will watch it tonight!Yes it is, so I will watch it tonight!Stanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10259788604423472207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372432081562643074.post-52306182281702843402018-02-01T17:48:48.781-05:002018-02-01T17:48:48.781-05:00It's on Youtube if your TV is a SmartTV.It's on Youtube if your TV is a SmartTV.<br />Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06056328036248272582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372432081562643074.post-30506140059572840382018-02-01T17:34:17.844-05:002018-02-01T17:34:17.844-05:00Wagon Train is carried by one of the channels here...Wagon Train is carried by one of the channels here, so I will watch for that episode.Stanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10259788604423472207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372432081562643074.post-84127851057001360712018-02-01T16:36:55.499-05:002018-02-01T16:36:55.499-05:00If you like Westerns, have you ever seen "The...If you like Westerns, have you ever seen "The Colter Craven Story," a 1960 episode of Wagon Train. It was directed by John Ford, a bit part in it featured Michael Morris (aka John Wayne) and of course Ward Bond appeared in a lot of Ford films with Wayne. So did Terry Wilson (Bill Hawks on the series) who was at times Wayne's stunt double. It also had John Carridine along with regular Ford/Wayne cast members Chuck Hayward, Ken Curtis, Willis Bouchey,Cliff Lyons, Anna Lee, Chuck Roberson and Hank (Ol' Mose) Worden. As I said, it was an episode of Wagon Train (Season 4 Episode 9) but it was basically a 1 hour John Ford movie.Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06056328036248272582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372432081562643074.post-54509755731658885502018-02-01T10:55:42.169-05:002018-02-01T10:55:42.169-05:00Those two films were tied for the Number 1 spot on...Those two films were tied for the Number 1 spot on my Top Trans Film List until The New Girlfriend came along!

It's like a marriage of CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON and 1940's Noir cinema. In the monster category, PACIFIC RIM (directed by THE SHAPE OF WATER director, Guillermo del Toro, is also excellent. THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL (1951 version) is one of my 3 favorite films. Although the re-imagined 2008 version with Keanu Reeves as Klaatu is not the classic that the original is, I thought it was well-done and the differences in eras and situations were well presented. <br /><br />I also like the other genres that you mentioned, although I'm not particularly fond of historically based war films ... I'm more of a STAR WARS or INDEPENDENCE DAY war film girl. Of course, I also love well-done chic flicks. THE NEW GIRLFRIEND is very good.<br /><br />Love,<br /><br />Sheila.Sheila from Tampahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09230335934380274993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372432081562643074.post-45722956812709850932018-01-31T09:41:00.858-05:002018-01-31T09:41:00.858-05:00There's a new trans-themed film out on video t...There's a new trans-themed film out on video that I think you'd enjoy, Stana.
