Chance Marquis (Tad Hilgenbrink) is a gay student transferring to a high school in Europe taken there by his army father. His adoption of eccentric attire (top hats, eye patches) are an attempt to deflect attention from his sexuality, but he still attracts the attention of Brad (Maxim Maes), the school bully who’s captain of the football team. Chance adopts two other misfits as friends and eventually makes friends with Levi (Brett Chuckerman), the straight (?) and hot boy next door who’s also on the football team. But when Brad discovers photos of Chance in drag, Chance’s life gets even more complicated. This was a great movie. Supposedly shot on a low budget, but you couldn’t tell. The Curiosity of Chance.

Brendan Fraser is “George of the Jungle” in this 1997 movie. Fraser brings the cartoon character to life and to rescue the endangered Ursula from her nutty boyfriend with the help of his animal friends. One of the better attempts at brining a cartoon character to life and not just because of Fraser in a loincloth. Not much, but fun to watch.

Nine Lives is presented in a quasi-documentary style and follows nine people connected through largely anonymous sexual encounters. I’d classify this one as “interesting” but it was a little hard to watch between the characters talking directly to the camera and the sometimes jerky camera movements. Some of the characters have some slight redeeming characteristics, but mostly they’re flawed in one way or another and not that sympathetic. The acting was good, but don’t look to this film for light entertainment, although we do get Steve Callahan in a speedo.

Glenn (Matthew Montgomery) gets tired of the “gay scene” and decides to respond to a personals ad found by one of his group of friends.  Adam (Windham Beacham) the guy running the ad is a “shy romantic” from the south and has some trouble fitting in with Glenn’s California friends.  The couple decides to hold off on sex until they get to know each other better, only to find after they’ve fallen in love, that the sex isn’t that great.  A cute romantic comedy as they work their way through their relationship.  Long Term Relationship.
