Directed by David Decoteau
USA, 2008, 84 minutes, video
 
6pm Gateway Cinema
 
Cult filmmaker David Decoteau takes the classic Edgar Allan Poe short story, "The Fall of the House of Usher" and adds lustful images of gorgeous young men in peril in this entertaining horror thriller. A perfect choice for Friday the 13th! 

Victor is a charming and handsome young man. He decides to visits his childhood friends Roderick and Madeline Usher at their crumbling family estate. He is shocked to discover that the two are decaying as quickly as their dilapidated mansion. Victor soon discovers that the only thing keeping the
Ushers alive is a terrifying secret...that their house feeds off the souls of the living, and that he's about to become the next victim. 

Decoteau has established a following for his particular time of campy horror films full. His signature style combines various men in states of undress and homoeroticism. The House of Usher is no exception to this rule. Sit back and enjoy a new twist on an old favorite and the eye-candy that make it worthwhile.

Miranda Bliss is a religiously conservative, married southern woman. Along with her sister Lucy, she runs a small Christian catering business called Fishes and Loaves in a tightly-knit community in Georgia. Both sisters have dreams of motherhood, but both are encountering obstacles in their path. 

One late night when watching a special about the illness that took her sons life, Miranda learns that one of the leading doctors spearheading the research, Dr. Sandy Price Owens and his partner Terry, are trying to find a surrogate mother so they can have a child. Though Miranda is religiously opposed to gay marriage and her husband is a staunch anti-gay activist, she hears the voice of God telling her that it is her purpose to help these men have a baby.

Without telling her husband, Miranda emails the couple and volunteers to be the surrogate. 

The men are elated but sassy Terry refuses to take any chances. Unexpectedly, Terry shows up at Miranda's deep-south home to micro-manage her pregnancy and refuses to leave; Miranda must create a ruse to keep the truth secret and keep the flamboyant Terry out of sight and out of the why-not an easy task considering that Terry is African-American dance choreographer-double ranties in this sleepy southern town. Starring MAD TV alum Orlando Jones and directed by Oscar and Emmy nominated director Ron Satlof, Misconceptions is a sweet and fun romp about overcoming prejudice and creating family.

After Julia is sent to the women’s penitentiary for the murder of her lover, she gives birth to a son. Bringing up a child in prison is difficult, but Julia understands that the only thing that matters to her is this new being that accompanies her now, that there is no life for her beyond that of her child. She soon learns that she must depend on her the other inmates for support, friendship, and love.

Her fellow inmate Marta becomes her ally; her mother Sofía, her opponent. One attempts to teach her how to be a mother to her child in the least appropriate place; the other wishes to take over rearing the child, so that he should grow up outside prison, in freedom. The duel between Julia and her mother expresses the dilemma of what is better for the child, to be brought up next to his mother in prison, or without her, but in freedom.

An official selection of both the prestigious Canne and Toronto Film Festival, this well-made drama has awed audiences all over the world,

Coca has just discovered she's pregnant which is a little problem. The father is a military man that she had a brief fling with. she's not sure how to get in touch with him and she's really not sure what she's going to tell her straight-laced conservative parents.

But then Coca gets an idea. CDan't Manuela revert briefly back to a Manuel and pose as her fiance? That way her parents might not be so angry when they find out about her pregnancy. Manuela is hesitant at first but agrees to do it for his friend. 

Now Manuela is going to butch it up for Coca's parents while still trying to hold on to himself. However, when things begin to spin out of control and this comedy of errors starts to include a shotgun wedding, a confused neighbor and several cases of mistaken identity it is up to Manuela to set things straight... in a manner of speaking.

 

COLLEGE BOYS LIVE

Directed by George O'Donnell
USA, 2009, 90 minutes, video
South Florida Premier
 
9:45pm Gateway Cinema
 
In a quiet suburb of Orlando Florida, three young men struggle to escape the wreckage of their pasts and create new lives for themselves. Their new home is CollegeBoysLive.com, a voyeur webcam house rigged with 32 cameras, here their every move is watched by thousands of paying members. The site's creator claims CollegeBoysLIve.com is simply about showing that "it's okay to be gay." But the neighbors insist it's a pornographic storehouse and sue to have them evicted. 

Filmed across a six month period, College Boys Live takes us into the world of the boys who are described as 'always ready and always horny' as they
live their lives in the goldfish bowl of voyeur internet sex sites. This intriguing documentary delves into the complex and often disturbing pasts of the houses residents while not shying away from depicting the reality of their day-to-day living-from internal squabbles to obsessed site subscriber who schedules their lives around watching the boys activities. Described by Variety as "exerting a bizarre and dramatic fascination by observing that Orwellian experiment-cum-entertainment". 

This intimate and provocative documentary examines a complex subculture, but at its heart is the universal search for family and acceptance.

 

SHANK

Directed by Simon Pearce
UK, 2009, 87 minutes, video
Fort Lauderdale Premier
 
10pm Las Olas Riverfront Cinema
 
This gritty, cutting-edge drama is a part of a new genre from contemporary queer filmmakers that shows another side of gay life. Shank is no cozy affair; void of the cliché plot devices typical of a coming of age story, this is a film that is refreshingly shocking, very explicit and painful at times.

?Yet under the surface of violence, hatred and confusion there is also more than a streak of tenderness. Cal is an 18 year-old member of a gang that wiles its days away in a haze of drugs, sex and random acts of violence. He is desperate that the other members do not discover that he is struggling to come to terms with being gay. This becomes difficult due to his unspoken desire for his best friend, another, more violent member of the gang.

A chance encounter with a French Student who treats him with love and kindness gives tough thug Cal his first meaningful relationship. The other gang members are reluctant to lose one of their own, and so engineer an explosive confrontation that leaves no one unscathed and everyone traumatized and transformed.

Winner of the Roger Walker Dack Award for Emerging Talent in Queer Cinema, this brilliant debut from 21 year-old director Simon Pearce is compelling, completely unique, and full of energy. Its fresh take on a slice of British gay youth culture makes it a must-see for anyone who loves movies that shake you up.
