Psycho Beach Party

Cast: Charles Busch, Lauren Ambrose, Thomas Gibson, Nicholas Brendon, Beth Broderick, Matt Keeslar, Kathleen Robertson, Andrew Levitas, Amy Adams

From the director of The Disco Years in the Boys Life collection comes this marvelously campy tale of shaking bikinis, gay muscled surfers, a wannabe surf babe with a split personality, a mom with an agenda, and a few severed body parts.
Captain Monica Stark (Busch) is called to investigate a recent rash of gory Malibu murders and she's got quite a mystery to solve! Psycho Beach Party is a send-up of two Hollywood genres: the beach movies of the fifties and the psychological thrillers of Alfred Hitchcock whipped-up into a frothy madcap romp. Heading the cast is writer/playwright and well known gender illusionist-performer Charles Busch. The script is chock full of witty one-liners and double entendre for the whole family! Robert Lee King's skilled direction is fun, fresh, and sassy with something for everyone. Two of these fifties surfer dudes are gay, but it's before Stonewall and they haven't quite figured out what to do! (We could show them a few tricks) It's a surfer movie with plenty of shirtless hunks, it's a fifties comedy with dozens of witty jokes with two meanings and it's even got campy gore with a few extra hands making an appearance.
"Fun, fun, fun! PSYCHO BEACH PARTY discovers a post-Freudian nightmare world of repressed violence and kinky sex bursting to get out."

Between Love & Goodbye

Cast: Justin Tensen, Rob Harmon, Simon Miller, Aaron Michael Davies, Jane Elliott

Casper Andreas’s (A Four Letter Word) new film, set in New York City, is the story of a fairy tale gay romance that runs off track when a troubled family member arrives on the scene.
REVIEWSometimes relationships have a “’til death do us part” ending, and sometimes it’s a bit more complicated. Casper Andreas’s (A Four Letter Word) new film is the story of two men who fall in love fast and hard and out of love even faster. For Kyle and Marcel, it’s love at first sight. Marcel is not a citizen, so they finagle him a sham marriage with their lesbian neighbor Sarah. All is secure and happy until Kyle’s troubled sister April arrives, homeless and full of drama. The brother and sister start their old band back up, and April wants rid of the boyfriend. She’s manipulative, jealous and wants her brother all to herself. In bits and pieces we learn some of April’s history. She’s a transsexual hooker with a history of mental problems and a complete lack of cash. It’s when April decides she wants to change her gender back to male that things really get crazy. Set on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, Between Love & Goodbye has an authentic East Village flavor, a great score and a compellingly original story.

Kalifornia

Cast: Brad Pitt, Juliette Lewis, David Duchovny, Michelle Forbes

An unnerving and at times nauseating thriller for the art-house set. Duchovny costars and narrates as a free-lance writer with a fascination for serial killers. Bereft of ideas for his book, he and his photographer girlfriend (Forbes) plan a road trip from Georgia to L.A. visiting the sites of famous murders along the way. Short on cash, they solicit a rideshare and wind up with Pitt and Lewis, the poorest white trash to hit the screen since Pink Flamingos. Put these two couples in a '60s Lincoln convertible and you've got the recipe for a nightmarish ride across the Southern heartland. Pitt redefines the term psychopath with his portrayal of a filthy, beer-guzzling, grizzle-faced parolee (for what we never learn). Director Sena creates a cinematic pastiche, straddling the line between hip atmospheric character study and pure quease-inducing terror.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

The gruff, adamantium-clawed Marvel superhero Wolverine strikes out on his own in this X-Men spin-off starring series regular Hugh Jackman. The story gets under way as the boy who will become Wolverine makes a shocking discovery about his family bloodline, and gains a brother in the process. Flash forward to find the mutant siblings battling side by side through two world wars and Vietnam -- where they are sentenced to death for killing a commanding officer -- and Logan (Hugh Jackman) and his brother, Victor Creed (aka Sabretooth, played by Liev Schreiber), have joined a top-secret government task force. When their targets begin to include innocent civilians, conscientious Logan escapes to the Canadian Rockies, where he builds a home with pretty schoolteacher Kayla Silverfox (Lynn Collins). Informed by his old commanding officer William Stryker (Danny Huston) that the members of his old team are being targeted for death, Logan is heartbroken when Victor finds and kills Kayla. Vowing revenge, Logan agrees to take part in a dangerous experiment that will fuse his bones with a powerful metal alloy called adamantium, which makes him virtually indestructible and gives him the strength needed to defeat his powerful brother. Subsequently betrayed by Stryker, Logan (now Wolverine) sets out to find his blood-lusting brother and stop the cycle of violence once and for all. Along the way, the temperamental hero is joined by fellow mutants John Wraith (Will.i.Am) and Remy LeBeau (aka Gambit, played by Taylor Kitsch). But before Wolverine can seek vengeance against Striker and his brother, he'll have to do battle with Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) a formidable mutant instilled with many powers.

Brassed Off

Cast: Pete Postlethwaite, Ewan McGregor, Tara Fitzgerald, Stephen Tompkinson

In the wonderful tradition of "small" British social comedies comes this unexpected pleasure with one of the most unlikely topics for a ravishing and delectable comedy: a brass band competition. In the small Northern England mining town of Grimley, miners have proudly played in the town's brass band for over a century. But the imminent closing of the mines threatens not only the livelihood of an entire town, but the band as well. Under the direction of Postlethwaite (whose solid performance anchors the film), the band tries to persevere as the championship and an uncertain future lie ahead. Writer-director Herman has created an absolute joy -- its humor is sharp, its political observations sharper, and the film is peopled with most appealing and nicely defined characters. Tompkinson gives a brilliant portrayal of comic verve and touching desperation as Postlethwaite's devoted son.

Saturday Night at the Baths

Cast: Don Scotti, Ellen Sheppard, Robert Aberdeen, Jane Olivor

Virtually unseen since the mid-1970’s, “Saturday Night at the Baths” is an entertaining, sexy and provocative look at the gay life style during the post Stonewall, pre-AIDS period. Set in New York City with much of it filmed on location in the famous Continental Baths, this film is a classic time capsule of an era long gone by.

At first this writer thought he was going to be treated to simply a campy trip back to the '70s but was pleasantly surprised, Saturday Night at the Baths is an entertaining nostalgic journey that belongs in every collection. Not only is there a compelling story of a man realizing that he's gay, but there is a bodybuilder's photo show with work by Bruce Weber, a stunning performance by Jane Oliver, noted chanteuse and lots of men in towels!
Our story is that of Michael and Tracy, two young artists in love. Michael is an unemployed pianist and Tracy a photographer. Michael scores a job and they celebrate by making love. But there's a hitch to the job -- it's at the famed gay Contintental Baths, where Bette Midler's career got its start. (She's never mentioned in the film.) Tracy's cool with it, so Michael accepts the job. The manager Scotti sports a huge afro and wears skin-tight bell bottoms (looking a lot like this writer did in 1974). There is immediate chemistry between the two men, but Michael thinks it's just friendship -- Scotti knows better, but he's playing his cards nice and slow. The baths are filled with characters that must be seen to be believed, we're just glad we didn't smell all the cheap cologne that must have sprayed on these men! There is a great go-go dance and a fun modern dance piece. The expected drag show is excellent with impersonations of Shirley Bassey, Diana Ross and Judy Garland. The film builds up to Michael's opening night with plenty of suspense. We know what's to happen when Michael asks Tracy to stay home...
With it's bevy of towel-clad hunks, fantastic score and compelling story, this is one little-known '70s film that needs to become known.

The transformation of a homophobic straight man into "one of the boys" is the theme of this historically important, independently made comedy-drama. Michael, who lives with a girlfriend, finds his already unstable sexuality challenged after he gets a job as a pianist at the gay Continental Baths. At first denying any male attraction, his defenses melt, especially after the baths' manager Scotti finally beds him, releasing a torrent of pent-up memories and sexual desire. It is an exploration of one man's sexuality which, while featuring amateurish acting and a stilted screenplay, is nonetheless still quite entertaining. One of the first American gay-themed films, Saturday Night at the Baths is now available in a new "Director's Cut". There are some of the old edit on sale, for a limited time only.
