Ryan O’Neal was Dr. Howard Bannister in the 1970’s film What’s Up Doc? trying to win a grant to study his musical igneous rocks and caught up in a whirlwhind in the form of Barbra Streisand who’s Judy Maxwell turns his life upside down. The scene where he’s in his boxers and bowtie is an all time favorite of mine. And it’s still a pretty funny movie.
Paul Morriessey’s Flesh for Frankenstein retells the “Frankenstein” story with Udo Kier as Baron Frankenstein trying to create a super race of Serbian zombies who will worship him as their master. Part of his plan is creating a male and female creature and having them breed his new subjects. In seeking a head for his male monster, he picks a man, Sacha (Srdjan Zelenovic) he sees in a brothel, mistaking him for some sort of super stud, not realizing that he’d been dragged there by his buddy Nicholas (Joe Dallesandro). Unfortunately for the Baron’s plans, Sacha’s eyes were only for Nicholas in the room full of naked women. Once Sacha’s head is in place, the Baron finds he has no interest in the female creature. Meanwhile, Nicholas has caught the eye of the Baroness who needs some “company” while the Baron is at his work.
There’s a few horror movies that you don’t watch for the chills. Happy Halloween.
William Gregory Lee (Dante’s Cove) stars in Wolves of Wall Street as a young man who comes to New York seeking his dream only to fall in with a pack of evil underwear models who are stock brokers by day and werewolves by night.
Voodoo Academy (2000) is a soft porn horror flick in which wholesome, attractive young men are lured into a bible college (with all of 6 students) where they spend a lot of time in their underwear being subjected to weird rituals by the cute priest and the strange woman who run the place. Not much point, but lots of skin.
In 2003’s Leeches, we find that the steriod popping swim team has been spending time frolicking in the local pond where they’re getting sucked on by leeches. Of course, this makes the leeches grow huge and hungry for more tender, young hunks. Plenty of scantily clad, muscled young men in speedos and underwear. But none of them actually fast enough to outrun the leeches.
Bump! is a gay travel show. Hosted by Charlie David, it visits vacation spots and highlights where to find gay and lesbian attractions. Hotels, restaurants, night life and of course shopping. Now on DVD, the South America edition goes to Buenos Aires, Såo Paulo, and Rio de Janeiro as Charlie finds spots to cruise hot guys, learn to dance and relax by the pool with a hot travel agent, Bryan Herb. If you enjoy the Travel Channel and such, this is a diverting video.
Eyal (Lior Ashkenazi) is an Israeli intelligence agent who returns after a successful run assassinating terrorists to find that his wife has committed suicide. After his refusal to go to therapy, his boss puts him on the trail of an aging Nazi by detailing him to play tour guide and spy on Axel (Knut Berger), the Nazi’s grandson, who’s on a trip to Israel to visit his sister who’s living in a kibbutz. Already annoyed at his assignment, Eyal is further confounded by Axel’s openess to consorting with Palestinians, cute male ones at any rate. Eventually, the two develop a friendship as Eyal deals with his frustrations with his life. And, oh yeah, they have a nekkid shower on the beach. Walk on Water.
When Big Wednesday comes, a trio of former “hot dog” surfers re-unite for one last big wave. Matt Johnson (Jan-Michael Vincent) was the hottest surfer on the beach that all the rest looked up to. He and his responsible buddy, Jack Barlow (Willam Katt), and his not so responsible buddy Leroy Smith (Gary Busey) ruled the beach in their younger days. The film follows them in the 1960’s & 1970’s as they attempt to dodge the draft (except Barlow) and earn a living. Reb Brown is “The Enforcer” who runs around shirtless tossing out party crashers.
Playroom (aka Consequences) – a group of mostly jock buddies (Chris Cannon, Nicholas Kattar, Paul Marron, Adam Ratcliffe & Michael Tranzilli) from high school reunite for their annual “football weekend” away from thier wives and families. This time, two of them are out looking to get laid and find themselves seduced by a couple of hookers and then chained up in the “playroom” of a mad porno producer out to use them in his films. Their buddies try to rescue them while keeping things a secret from the wives back home. As an attempt at a horror movie, it had it’s moments, but was basically just an excuse to get hot guys stripped and tied up. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. . . .
In Surge of Power, young Gavin (Vincent J. Roth) is a corporate attorney and a comic book nerd. One day while visiting the company lab to get some paperwork signed, an evil mad scientist breaks in and causes an accident giving Gavin superpowers. With the aid of a not-so-mad scientist (Robert Hurt), Gavin sets out to become Big City’s latest superhero: Surge. Surge takes on the evil Metal Master to save Big City not to mention a certain Young Man (Joey Bourgeois) who always seems in need of rescue.
The movie is full of comic book and science fiction references to keep most of us sci-fi geeks happy. Noel Niell, Lois Lane from The Adventures of Superman (1950’s TV show) appears as the Young Man’s Aunt Lois, scolding him for always getting into trouble. We also get Nichelle Nichols (Star Trek’s Lt. Uhura) as a semi-retired superhero who helps Surge get his bearings. And Lou Ferrigno (The Incredible Hulk) in a cameo appearance.
The gay content is left “ambiguous”, like certain superhero relationships, but you don’t have to look very hard.
More caps after the jump.
