Adam (Tom Harper), a public school teacher, picks up a stranger named Jake (Sean Brosnan) in a gay bar in London. He goes back to Jake’s place where they have sex. After leaving, Adam finds that he’s picked up Jake’s cell phone by mistake. Going to return it, he finds Jake has apparently been murdered. From there, Adam finds himself pursued by shadowy figures who may be from the British government and who are trying to cover up a royal scandal. Interesting in a way, and the use of surveillance camera type footage for the film was kinda cool, but it just never seemed to quite get off the ground. Surveillance 24/7.
Another Gay Movie
Another Gay Movie follows a group of gay friends (Michael Carbonaro, Jonah Blechman, Jonathan Chase, and Mitch Morris) who vow to lose their virginity by the end of summer. A take off on teen sex comedies with our heroes going from one sexual misadventure to another. Appearances by Scott Thompson, Graham Norton, Richard Hatch, Matthew Rush, James Getzlaff, and Ant.
A Dog’s Breakfast
A Dog’s Breakfast, a funny independent film that gave David Hewlett, Paul McGillion and Kate Helwett something to do while Stargate Atlantis was on a break. Hewlett’s character Patrick decides to kill his sister’s fiance (McGillion) who is the star of a sci-fi show where the sister is a make up artist, when he suspects that the man he already doesn’t like is plotting to kill his sister. McGillion puts in an appearance in drag as his aunt, a police detective who comes to investigate. There’s also a brief appearance by Christopher Judge (Teal’c from Stargate SG1)
Testosterone
David Sutcliff is Dean, a graphic novelist, whose Argentinian lover Pablo (Antonio Sabato, Jr.) just disappears one day in Testosterone (2003). Dean runs into Pablo’s mother at a party and she brushes him off, clearly not wanting him near her son. More determined than ever, Dean heads to Argentina to track down Pablo and find out what’s going on. A series of improbable plot twists follow leading Dean across the country side of Argentina and introducing a variety of odd ball characters. The film seemed like it should have been better than it was. Sabato’s brief full frontal helped, but . . . .
Rock Haven
In Rock Haven (2007), Brady (Sean Hoagland) is an 18 year old planning on attending bible college and keeping his zealot mother happy. After they move to Rock Haven, however, he meets Clifford (Owen Alabado) and his thoughts stray in a different direction. Brady tries to fight his growing attraction to Clifford as Clifford tries to slowly encourage him.
Latter Days
In Latter Days, a group of Mormons moves in next door to Christian, a gay man (Wes Ramsey). He makes a bet with his co-workers that he’ll seduce one of them. He meets Aaron (Steve Sandvoss), one of the Mormons, and gets more than he bargained for when not only does he manage to seduce the young man but finds himself falling for Aaron in turn. And of course, there’s the other religion crazed guys with Aaron who want to keep him pure.
Spartacus (2004)
The 2004 version of Spartacus stars Goran Visnjic as the title characater and Paul Telfer as his loyal little buddy, Gannicus. Spartacus, the Thracian, is a slave taken into gladiator school who leads a revolt of Roman slaves (circa 73 BC -71 BC). After leading the Romans on a bit of a chase, he is finally tracked down by the irate Roman consuls. Let’s face it, you’d be a bit ticked off too if someone had stolen all your hunky slave boys.
Being a bit of a Roman history buff once upon a time, I reallly liked this. It’s no I Claudius, but not bad at all.

Creatures from the Pink Lagoon
In Creatures from the Pink Lagoon, a group of gay friends gather at a lake house for a birthday party for Phillip (Nick Garrison), an effeminate young man with a bum for a boyfriend. Meanwhile, something strange is going on at the Exit 5 Reststop (near the Chemical Plant) where all the confirmed bachelors seem to gather. Amidst the fun and frolic and catty remarks of the party, severed body parts are found and the zombies attack. Gay zombies. No, really . . . .
A spoof of old black and white horror movies. Don’t take it too seriously, and it’s kinda fun.
