Angels in America from Warner Home Video Price: $29.99 Customer Review:  A jaw-dropping film adaptation of Tony Kushner's epic, 5-hour play, which was a defining artistic statement documenting the political and social upheaval that AIDS-HIV disease brought to America's gay community and to the wider America around it. Mixing agitprop and camp with magical realism and... |

Tales of the City (Collector's Edition) from Acorn Media Publishing Inc. Price: $47.96 Customer Review: I remember back around the year 93 or 94 a co-worker of mine urging me to see this. I resisted thinking I would hate it. I finally relented thinking my co-worker and I had very similar tastes in film & television and if she liked it how bad could it be. So I took the tapes home and one night... |

Gia from Hbo Studios Price: $5.99 Customer Review:  I have to imagine that the toughest films to pull off are the ones on the verge of cliche-dom; a familiar premise that still manages to flawlessly hook you. 'Gia' covers much trodden ground. By now, it's a natural stereotype- the model who blows her looks, her career and her youthful optimism on... |

Maurice - The Merchant Ivory Collection from Home Vision Entertainment Price: $23.96 Customer Review: Merchant-Ivory have often been made fun of for being stuffy and repressed. I don't agree but I understand why they've been parodied. In Maurice, however, the team created something very special--an incredibly lyrical, heartfelt love story. This movie haunted me long after I saw it when it was... |

If These Walls Could Talk 2 from Warner Home Video Price: $6.99 Customer Review: There are 3 stories to this movie, with the setting being the same house for all three stories. The first story is set in the 1950's and shows the sorrow of having to keep a lesbian relationship secret. Vanessa Redgrave's utter destruction over the death of her partner and her being unable to show... |

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil from Warner Studios Price: $6.99 Customer Review:  The echoes of Southern Gothic don't come much more gothic than "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil," Clint Eastwood's flawed adaptation of the bestselling true crime book. While the movie only dips briefly into the genteel decadence of the upper-crust South, and the general air of Savannah, it... |

Queer as Folk - Series 1 (British TV Series) from C1TV Price: $62.96 Customer Review: Having not seen the American remake of this series, my partner and I sat down to watch this British series on DVD and quickly became hooked--not by the sex (which got so much publicity), but by the overall quality of the production--especially its writing and acting. We cared about these characters... |

Lost and Delirious from Studio Home Entertainment Price: $11.98 Customer Review: "Lost and Delirious" is for people who like their melodrama laid on thick and heavy with few subtleties. (Also I'm sure they're are plenty of guys who will enjoy it simply for the tame lesbian love scenes between its two attractive leads.) The story is simple: young Mary Bradford arrives at an all... |

Fire from New Yorker Films Price: $26.96 Customer Review: "It was amazing that a film which explores choices, desires and the people who are victims of people who are victims of tradition, would cause such an uproar." -Deepa Mehta, the director of Fire The beauty of this movie is more in the questions it asks than the erotic relationship between two... |

Heavenly Creatures from Miramax Home Video Price: $17.99 Customer Review: Heavenly Creatures is my favorite movie of all time. It's about two highly intense girls who become best friends in the deepest sense of the word. They don't really seem to have anyone but each other. To help deal with this, they create a fantasy world, first in words and books, then with clay. And... |

Velvet Goldmine from Miramax Home Entertainment Price: $15.99 Customer Review: I absolutely loved this movie from the first time I watched it late one night strictly by accident. The acting is superb by all of the main characters with McGregor really shining in his wonderful punk role of Curt Wild. This guy really proved what a talented performer he truly is.

Desert Hearts from Mgm/Ua Studios Price: $15.98 Customer Review: "Desert Hearts," directed by Donna Deitch, opens in Reno, Nevada in 1959. The film, which is based on a novel by Jane Rule, tells the story of Vivian (played by Helen Shaver), a prim-and-proper college professor who has come to Nevada to get a divorce. There she meets Cay (Patricia Charbonneau), a... |

Deathtrap from Warner Studios Price: $5.99 Customer Review: I first saw "Deathtrap" in the theater when it came out in 1982. When VCRs became big, it was a film that I rented a few times, eventually buying my own VHS copy. Now I own the DVD. It's a great film. The plot can't really be discussed here without depriving first-time viewers the opportunity of... |

His Secret Life from Ventura Distribution Price: $26.99 Customer Review: His Secret Life touched me.

The kind of real emotion and character development is exactly what's missing in most Hollywood films, making me turn to the Foreign section most of the time.... |

It deals with a volatile topic, the story of a very young boy who finds love in the arms of a young Canadian soldier in World War II. Since the story is based on an autobiographical book, it is not the whimsy of a script writer but... |

Born a peasant in the 1930's, Arenas had the great misfortune of being a gay writer in a country that considered art and homosexuality to be... |

Wilde (Special Edition) from Columbia Tri-Star Price: $26.96 Customer Review: There can only be one explanation for why this movie wasn't revered and esteemed world over.

But this isn't supposed to be a social commentary, but a grand ovation for what is, in my opinion, one of the best movies ever.... |

O Fantasma from PICTURE THIS HOME VIDEO Price: $26.96 Customer Review: First, let me say I am giving this completely unorthodox film four stars because I can't stop thinking about it. I'm not really sure I liked it, but I will say it is pretty daring in its approach to what can loosely be called "storytelling." There is very little dialogue, so we don't learn much... |

And the Band Played On from Hbo Studios Price: $11.98 Customer Review: This made-for-HBO movie definitely transcends the "disease of the week" genre that it's part of. Based on the book by Randy Shilts, it chronicles the struggle of science vs. politics vs. morality in the early days of the AIDS crisis. Our point of view character is Dr. Don Francis (Matthew Modine), a... |

Aimee and Jaguar from Zeitgeist Video Price: $23.99 Customer Review: This film impressed me from begining to end.

Party Monster from Twentieth Century Fox Home Video Price: $11.98 Customer Review: It looks like the lovable little boy from "Home Alone" has grown up. Macaulay Culkin is now in his early 20s and stars in this outrageous and rather sick story of Michael Alig, a real-life club kid of the early 1990s, who is now serving a long prison term for murder. This 2003 film is not only his... |
