Theft

Guy (Matthew Burnett) works in a leather bar in a small town mopping floors and managing the drag show back stage. When the bar owner dies, leaving the bar to Guy, he finds himself on the wrong side of the town’s crazed lady preacher who wants to use the bar to rouse the rabble to give her the fame she needs for national TV. Meantime, Guy meets and starts to fall for Alex (Patrick Henderson) who just happens to be the preacher’s son returned to town. Theft has a few funny moments, it probably won’t end up at the top of anyone’s list, but wasn’t too bad.

The Nines

In The Nines, Ryan Reynolds and a talented cast take on three separate roles that intertwine through the three segments of the movie. This movie was totally not what I was expecting, which made it even better. Reynolds is alternately an action movie hero, an apparently gay television “show runner”, and a happily married video game designer who’s stories brush one another in interesting ways. Also a lot of excellent DVD extras (which is where you get a clearer idea of some of what’s going on; the deleted scenes are a must watch).

More caps after the jump.

East Side Story

In East Side Story, Diego (René Alvaradois) is a closeted, young, Latino man working in his grandmother’s restaurant. He longs to get out on his own, but can’t seem to quite get himself to move on. As he realizes his boyfriend (David Berón) is determined to stay in the closet and his grandmother is not quite as clueless as she seems, he’s given the final push when his crazy aunt outs him to the restaurant staff. Meanwhile, a couple of gay men move in across the street and one of them (Steve Callahan) starts to fall for Diego but has problems leaving his lover (Cory Schneider) even though he’s miserable in the relationship.

Eleven Men Out

Eleven Men Out is the story of Ottar Thor (Björn Hlynur Haraldsson). A football (soccer) champ in Iceland. He suddenly decides to come out during a press interview, causing havoc with his team, his father (who’s also the coach), his ex-wife, and his son. But at least it gets him moved from the back pages of the magazine to the cover.

Thrown off his professional team, he joins and amatuer one (which already has a couple of “kind of” gay members). Soon the team is attracting more gay players and becomes Iceland’s gay team.

Not as funny as the marketing blurbs led me to believe, but maybe it’s better in the orignial Icelandic.

Surveillance 24/7

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.

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 . . . .
