From 1997, Johnathan Schaech is Teddy, a con man on the run from a deal gone bad trying to sell rare birds in New York. He winds up in Australia, where he meets Angie, a strange woman who watches him shower and then hitches a ride with him. After a brief fling, Teddy finds himself knocked out and then wakes up in the town of Woop Woop run by Angie’s psycho father Daddy-O (Rod Taylor) in middle of nowhere Australia. Teddy finds that the bizarre townsfolk consider him married to Angie and that Daddy-O never lets anyone leave town and there’s no contact with the outside world. Pretty funny film and it finds lots of excuses to get Schaech in varying states of undress.
Jeffrey
Jeffrey (Steven Weber) is a young gay man living in New York who’s terrified of all the things that can go wrong from having sex. As he makes the decision to just become celibate, he runs into Steve (Michael T. Weiss), who’s pretty much the man of his dreams. All his freinds (and a number of complete strangers) try to convince him that Steve’s the guy for him. Jeffrey starts to weaken, only to discover that Steve is HIV+, pushing his reluctance to get involved to new heights. A bit dated, but worth a look for the dancing cowboy waiters alone. And there’s Patrick Stewart as Steve and Jeffrey’s friend trying to get them together as he deals with his own tragedy and Nathan Lane as a sex obsessed priest taking Jeffrey’s confession.
I’ll Love You Forever. . . Tonight
I’ll Love You Forever. . . Tonight, a black and white film from 1992, follows Ethan (Paul Marius), a photographer, on a get away with his friend Dennis (Jason Adams) to Palm Springs where they meet up with other old and new friends (David Poynter, Roger Shank, Miles Wilshire) for assorted drama and romantic pairings. Probably notable for Thomas Jane in a bit part as a gay hustler.
