Rites of Passage
“Rights of Passage” is a taut, well-written and acted thriller from the acclaimed director of “Powder” (Victor Salva) a delves into issues of parenthood, masculinity, homophobia, childhood hurts, and one young man’s misdirected search for a father figure.
Del (the excellent Dean Stockwell) and his young lawyer son DJ (Robert Glenn Keith, the hunk in the gay short “Death in Venice California”) travel to their lakeside cabin to fish and talk. When they get there, Del’s estranged gay son, Campbell (well-acted by the hunkalicious Jason Behr and star of “Roswell”), is unexpectedly

Feature Profile: Suzanne Westenhoefer - Guaranteed Fresh
Before Ellen and before Cho, there was Suzanne Westenhoefer.
Fearless, bold, unapologetic, and “freaking hilarious” best describes Comedian Suzanne Westenhoefer. She’s made a career out of telling the truth. And, the truth is, life is funny and no one is off limits. From her mom’s Last Will and Testament to her dog’s embarrassing discovery (What is the discovery? Strange otherwise), Suzanne shares stories that leave audiences in stitches.
The first openly gay comedian in the U.S., Suzanne has delivered gay

Doris Day: The Untold Story of the Girl Next Door by David Kaufman
David Kaufman has now written the long-awaited, definitive biography of Doris Day. By telling Day’s incredible, previously untold story, Kaufman takes the reader to the epicenter of American popular culture- a roller-coaster saga, from the 1940s to the 1980s. While Day symbolized virtuous America to the rest of the world-especially in her heyday, the 1950s and early 1960s-both she and that era are still perceived as being far more innocent and carefree than they really were. Indeed, what makes Day’s story so richly fascinating is the fact that she was in many ways the opposite of her

Brokeback Mountain
BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN is much more than a gay cowboy movie, even though many straight folks are fond of describing it as such. And given that I was starting to feel like the only queer dude in the world that had not seen this much talked about (and admired) flick: I finally made myself watch it on DVD recently. And it was the saddest love story I’ve ever seen.
I knew one of the characters died. And I’d also heard about the quite moving scene with the shirt (I won’t say more than that–just in case there still might be another soul out there that has not seen this film yet). But all my friends failed to tell me about the gay bashing scene. I mean, the movie was

Capote
Damn, I’m really on a roll (as far as queer flicks are concerned). I’ve actually seen both CAPOTE and BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN on DVD. The special features alone–made me glad I bought both flicks.
I found the film CAPOTE — both moving and maddening. The performances were all excellent. And I agree the lead actor, Philip Seymour Hoffman, deserved the Academy Award he won. But the so-called revelations about the REAL Truman Capote (why he never wrote another major book after In Cold Blood, plus his eventual self-destruction from too much

Merely Human?
A few years back a friend remarked to me after a particularly rough day “I feel human today.” I laughed and amusedly asked “Don’t you normally feel human?” She replied “No, usually I feel like a dragon!” I remember at the time feeling a bit confused and wondering what I normally feel like, what I would like to feel like and what it might be like if I felt different.

Feature Profile: Paul J. Williams - Left, Out … and Not Right!
.
High School in South Texas was not kind to Paul J. Williams. As a “creative” teenager, he was in band, choir AND drama. Wimp. Nerd. Fag. To counter the endless teasing and name-calling, Paul learned early on to always have the last word. Eventually, this defense mechanism developed into a very quick wit, which came in handy as he endured four repressive years of

Steam
“Steam” is a slow, sensuous meandering journey both in its cinematic pacing and in the lead character, Francesco’s, coming out, coming home story. For a movie about hamam’s - Turkish steam baths - there’s a paucity of nudity!
Francesco (played by the GEORGEOUS Alessandro Gassman) and his wife Marta ( Francesca D’Aloja) run a successful interior design firm in Rome. But their marriage is on the rocks, with Marta, feeling neglected, secretly carrying on an affair with their mutual business
