Shank – new gay film coming to dvd
September 16, 2009
This is one of the best gay films I have ever seen… good story, good looking guys and good sexy bits. It reminded me very much of an up to date version of Beautiful Thing. But don’t expect nice school boys falling in love, Shank is based around gang culture and features sex, drugs and violence. Shocking in parts, but overall a great love story.
—
Writhing with untamed sexuality and aggression, this blistering British indie centers on Cal, a teenage thug so desperate to hide his gay cravings from his gang members that he binges on drugs, anonymous sex and acts of violence. But the bad boy’s secret desires are uncovered when he rescues a kind-eyed French exchange student from one of the clan’s sadistic hate crimes. Though the two boys fall passionately in love, Cal’s crew is bent on revenge for his betrayal and the young lovers are placed in unspeakable danger. Unapologetic and as poignant as it is shocking, Shank is a must see.

Attending the funeral are her dueling big-haired daughters LaVonda and Latrelle; sister Sissy, who picked the wrong time to quit smoking; a revengeful neighbor (Delta Burke); a Tammy Wynette-obsessed drag queen; Latrelle’s estranged gay son; and Bitsy Mae (Olivia Newton-John), a country music-singing ex-con lesbian!
With a spin-off TV series currently in production there’s no better time to catch all of the original tantrums, gossip and revelations in this film that deliriously revels at its beerguzzling, gun-toting, same sex-loving, pill-popping eccentrics!

Gay Film: Boystown
November 18, 2008
Release date: November 17 2008
Reminiscent of the outrageous early films of Pedro Almodóvar, this ebullient farce is a smorgasbord of hot men and raucous comedy – with a sassy Spanish flavour! Chilselled Victor is a real estate agent in Madrid’s expanding, candy-colored “boystown” who hides a deadly secret – he murders old ladies then flips their flats to gorgeous upwardly-mobile men in a bid to create the perfect “gaybourhood”. When bearish couple, Rey and Leo, inherit the latest victim’s abode, they move Rey’s potty-mouthed mother in but the aging diva doesn’t fit Victor’s vision of the ultimate gay paradise and now it’s up to an eccentric detective and her sexually confused son to uncover the killer.
A huge hit at the London Lesbian & Gay Film Festival, BOYSTOWN is a hilariously seductive black comedy which is sure to be snapped up when it sets up home on DVD this Autumn!
