Pornography:  a Thriller revolves around the maybe, maybe not death of a 1980′s porn star in a snuff flick.  Mark Anton (Jared Grey) was a famous porn actor who was semi-retired and gets offered a lot of money in the mid 1990′s to do a personal appearance for a fan who wants to interview him.  When his agent tries to scam him out of the money, things go bad for Mark forcing him to do the interview he’d planned to skip.  We then move to the present day where a writer Michael (Matthew Montgomery) is researching a book on gay porn.  He ends up renting [with his is he real or isn't he lover William (Walter Delmar)]what may be the same apartment where the maybe snuff flick was filmed and finds an old video tape hidden in the wall.  His quest to find answers to Mark’s fate drags him into weirder and weirder scenes.  Finally, we come to the third tale of Matt Stevens (Pete Scherer), a present day porn star who decides to make a pornographic documentary of the Mark Anton story based on a dream he had, but then the dreams starts to take over.  Apperances by Dylan Vox as Mark’s on screen partner and Steve Callahan as Matt’s producer.

 Great movie, great cast.

Antonio Banderas is Antonio Benitez in Law of Desire (La ley del deseo, 1987), a disturbed young man who stalks his favorite film maker Pablo Quintero (Eusebio Poncela).  When Antonio’s affections aren’t returned with the fervor he hopes for, he sets out to elminate the competition.  We’re treated to a very brief nude, long shot of Banderas, but the film is much more generous with the “charms” of Poncela (NSFW).

Little Ashes provides a look at the 1920′s love affair between painter Salvadore Dali (Robert Pattinson) and poet Javier Beltrán (Federico García Lorca).  While in school the two become attracted to one another but drift apart as Dali seems to have problems with the relationship and a desire to go to Paris to achieve wealth and fame.  General impression:  an OK movie but seemed awfully long.

The Dying Gaul

The Dying Gaul, the movie, not the statue, has Robert (Peter Sarsgaard) a struggling young writer finally having a chance to sell his somewhat autobiographical script.  The complication is that the producer wants to replace the character of his dying male lover with a woman to make it more sellable.  Further complicating things is Jeffrey (Campbell Scott), the bi-sexual producer, starting an affair with Robert. Then of course, Jeffrey’s wife, a former screen writer, becomes fascinated with Robert and starts stalking him anonymously in online chat rooms, eventually finding out more than she really wanted to know.

Everett (Brendan Bradley) is in a lackluster relationship with Miles (Tad Coughenour) and seems to be sticking around because of their son and possibly the fact that their small town only has about a dozen people and pickings may be a bit slim.  Everett is left at home when Miles takes their son to visit the grandparents.  That’s when Chase (Matthew Montgomery), a writer looking for a place to revitalize himself, gets lost and stops to ask Everett directions.  Everett appoints himself Chase’s tour guide and the two start to fall for one another.  Even Everett’s parents and brother Shane (Simon Burzynski) start to fall for Chase, but will Everett leave his comfortable if boring life? Good movie, but not wild about the way it ended.  Redwoods.
