Boy Meets Boy - Complete Season One from New Video Group Price: $35.96 Customer Review:  I never actually watched this show when it aired because in the initial round of advertising, we, the viewers, were actually told what James was not: that of the 15 guys fighting for James' attention, 8 were straight. However, I admit that in a moment of weakness, the absolutely adorable star of the... |

Beefcake from Strand Releasing Home Video Price: $31.49 Customer Review:  The most frustrating thing about this film is the lackadaisical way it moves back and forth between engaging interviews and authentic 50s/60s film footage and the silly, flacid narrative about a physique magazine photographer who involves his unwitting (?) family in the creation of benign... |

The Brandon Teena Story from New Video Group Price: $26.96 Customer Review: I decided to see this video before seeing "Boys Don't Cry", the movie based on the same story. I have concluded that seeing both films is essential for anyone not directly involved in the actual situation to understand what went on. "Boys Don't Cry" took some liberties with the facts involved in the... |

Fake ID from Alluvial Filmworks Price: $29.95 Customer Review: Excellent indie film reversing the idea of a gay guy trying to fit in with his majority straight community. When you think theatre community, what comes to mind? After cravats? There you go. This film follows a straight burgening actor as he struggles to fit in with his majority homosexual theatre... |

On the Bus from Villiage Lighthouse Price: $29.95 Customer Review: When I first heard about a reality show about six ... men traveling to Burning Man on a bus, I was very excited to see it. I am happy to report that it was even better than I imagined it could be. What sets this film apart from other reality shows is the director's obvious love for his fellow... |

Wigstock - The Movie from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Price: $17.98 Customer Review:  Once upon a time WIGSTOCK was fun. Definately before this movie was made. Oh look there's that SAD RUPAUL on the cover, now I definately won't buy it. Maybe if LADY BUNNY was the the only cover girl I would buy it. LADY BUNNY, a real performer. RUPAUL...TIRED! (repeat after me!!) And what... |

Benjamin Smoke from Plexifilm Price: $22.46 Customer Review: The last thing Benjamin'd want is for some sycophant to "justify" his life. Jem Cohen does as is his want in evoking the life of a true elysian navigator: pastels, washes, cinematic perfumes. Throughout it all Benjamin riffs; his grit betraying a lucidity that many choose to ignore. |

When Boys Fly from TLA Releasing Price: $17.99 Customer Review: I found the documentary "When Boys Fly" to be a surprisingly engaging and fascinating, candid, shocking and sometimes sad peek through the looking glass to see what really goes on at "gay raves," aka circuit parties. Filmmakers Rolov and Halpern did a great job in showing us the world in which this... |

101 Rent Boys from Strand Releasing Home Video Price: $31.49 Customer Review: With a title like 101 Rent Boys, I was expecting a wide array of interviews with a large number of men. Admittedly, including all 101 interviews would be prohibitively long, but I did expect to hear more boys than I got. Some boys were featured often, in multiple segments, while some we barely got a... |

Southern Comfort from New Video Group Price: $22.46 Customer Review: This film started out to be a curiosity for me and turned into a near tearjerker. This award winning documentary follows Robert Eads and his girlfriend, Lola Cola, during the last year of Robert's life (ironically, he's dying of Ovarian cancer). The story is told with Robert in the lead with his... |

Before Stonewall from First Run Features Price: $26.96 Customer Review: Originally produced for PBS television, the Emmy-winning "Before Stonewall" is a must-see documentary for anyone researching Gay American history. What makes this film so invaluable is its success in recreating - through photographs, film clips, and later-day interviews - a period in time that was... |

Paragraph 175 from New Yorker Video Price: $26.96 Customer Review: PARAGRAPH 175 is a beautifully photographed, historicaly accurate, sensitively enlightening film about the Nazi persecution and slaughter of the Pink Triangle, as male homosexuals were designated in Hitler's concentration camps. But for once a documenting film does not focus on grotesque pictures of... |

The Silver Screen: Color Me Lavender from Water Bearer Films, Price: $26.96 Customer Review: So I'm not the only one who obsessively watched these old movies as a kid and wondered why Walter Brennan kept showing up as the seemingly love-sick, woman-disparaging best friend of the handsome hero (usually Gary Cooper). Actually, this tape is a great companion piece to The Celluloid Closet. The... |

One Nation Under God from First Run Features Price: $22.46 Customer Review: With the ludicrous "Truth in Love" campaign now fully underway, this video is a must-see for anyone who wants a more full understanding of the concept behind ex-gay ministries. As shown in the video, many of the original founders of groups such as Exodus are no longer associated with those groups... |

It is a deeply moving story of Tom and Mark, two gay men who have been together for 22 years and are slowly dying of AIDS. Their lives are shown raw and uncensored. We see them for who they--two deeply caring... |

Sex Is... from Water Bearer Price: $26.96 Customer Review: What we know about AIDS today dwarf what was known some 20 years ago. As a result, any movie (documentary or fictional) that deals with the disease quickly becomes dated (and irrelevant) as new information becomes available. "Sex Is"is no exception. Still, some of the interviewees, namely Lulu,... |

The Jaundiced Eye from Vanguard Cinema Price: $17.96 Customer Review: I have always felt that the production company of Amy Sommer (Academy Award nominee for Waco; The Rules of Engagement) would be better and more accurately represented if it was called Eternal Vigilance Productions.
