Metrosexuality (2001) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I heard about this British series from some entertainment magazines, but nothing could have prepared me for this. Fast-paced, colorful, eclectic cast, incredible music, and the dialogue! I've seen nothing like it, but it's hip and poignant at the same time. Two gay black fathers, separated and on the verge of divorce, raising a spitfire of a seventeen year old straight son with two gay best friends an angst-ridden and horny girlfriend with a sexy lesbian best friend and an awnry loud-mouth father...I could go on, and I will: the brassy recovering drug addict and her earnest boyfriend, the plucky lesbian couple, the homophobic ex-military man and new gay boyfriend, etc. etc...This show has it all. And the extras on this DVD are great...Extensive interviews with cast and the creator, behind-the-scenes footage AND the amazing soundtrack album with over 15 songs on it...This is a bargain...a real treat. I can't give this a higher recommendation. The whole package is stellar...A family sitcom for the not-so-new-anymore millenium...Forget QUEER AS FOLK, this is the real treasure of a British import.

A Dirty Shame (NC-17 Rated Theatrical Version) (2004) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Many have accused John Waters of kissing up to the mainstream for the past decade or so, starting with "Cry Baby" and "Hairspray," with their less than shocking view of the world. Where, they cried, is the delightfully perverse brain that gave us "Pink Flamingos?"
Be careful what you wish for, because "A Dirty Shame" will bring it all back home. Perfectly cast, brilliantly acted and a total grossfest, this is the best and most outragous movie Waters has done since, well, "Female Trouble." Tracy Ullman and Chris Isaak play the Sticklers, a pair of "neuters" who are completely against all things sexual. A chance accident makes Ullman a sex-addict to the church of Johnny Knoxville (who finally proves himself a movie star here) and his merry band of perverts. If there's a fetish that can be exploited or made disgusting, you'll see it here.
There are so many laugh out loud sexploits here, that I can't even begin to describe them. You'll be wincing as you laugh, as the moments accelerate in the movie from funny -- to weirder and funny -- to beyond the bizarre. You'll hear Tracy Ullman describe oral behavior in so many ways that you'll lose track. You'll discover what a "bear" is. You'll see Chris Isaak leer so salaciously that you'll wonder what directions were being given behind the camera. And you'll hear so many hysterical 50's and 60's sexually oriented novelty songs that you'll be looking for the soundtrack by the end of the week.
A word of warning though. If you are in the least bit prudish, then "A Dirty Shame" will have you fleeing the movie in mortal terror. Now if THAT sounds like the kind of NC-17 rated 90 minutes of comedy that would delight you, then you need a little "Shame" in your life.

Lexx - The Complete Third Series (2000) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This was a big change from the campy season before and the surreal set of movies that happened in the season one. The episodes in season 2 were like Red Dwarf. Where they seemed to bounce randomly from one spot to another, and had little in realm of a long running plot until the later seasons. Season two was a random bunch of episodes with only Mantrid and the Lexx crew binding them together.
This season not only had a long running story arc, but the humor was more subdued and focused on the surreal imagery and spiritual idealogies it presented.
The crew was shot into the dark zone after the destruction of the light zone. You find that they were stranded in an empty area with no planets nearby, and no fuel for their ship. So they go into sleep and drift until they find a decent planet. But they are found before they have a chance to wake, but a strange individual named Prince. He and his roadwarrior like lackeys take Stan prisoner and becomes interested in Xev. He takes them to Princetown, his town on Fire.
Fire and Water are a pair of planets that circle each other and share atmosphere that can be traversed by balloons. Fire is hot and unable to sustain life on the surface. So the towns are tall stacks that lift them high enough to make it livable. The areas below are filled with devices to keep the city cool by using slave labor. Water is all water, dotted with towns on the surface. The inhabitants are all living in luxury, giving little thought to the world around them, the future, or the past. They seem to live for the moment and whatever passion drives them. The towns on both planets are named for their leaders or their obsession, Gametown is filled with sports fanatics, Garden with the plant obsessed, Girltown is a matriarchy, and Boomtown where everyone has sex all the time.
But that isn't the end of the weirdness. People seem to have little recallation of the past or who they are. No one is born, they just remember when they were and nothing else. The two planets have been fighting for ages but don't know why. The crew see quite a few people that they knew in the Light Universe that are all dead, some with the same names. They see Bunny, Schlemi, Mantrid, and Gigarotta that have no memories of their previous lives. Plus Prince seems to know the most, but has his own agenda and is obsessed with getting the crew to fullfill this.
I didn't like this season when I first saw it, but it grew on me. The humor was more subtle, darker, and surreal than the first one. It was also more philosphical and spiritual than the previous series. Dealing with re incarnation, planetary genocide, damnation, and eternal paradise. The big bad wasn't standard as he wasn't out to kill the crew or the universe. But he admitted repeatedly that he was neither good nor trustworthy, but wanted to make a deal. plus he was harder to figure out than the other two, and even by the time the series is over you still don't know for certain what he is.
This was a great season that tends to grow on you. The imagery and well thought out plot was worth the price alone.

The Lair: The Complete First Season (2007) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)To all those reading this, I hope you take the time to consider. I will not say that this video is a waste of your time and money. I will say it was a waste of mine though. The concept was a good idea. However, they fell short of the supposed intended target. This series is severely lacking in the detail work that makes a series great. Their hero is painted a hero from the beginning, he isn't made to stand the trails that make a hero. While the "bad-guy" (in my opinion, the hottest guy on the show) lacks the depth and definition that made him a villian.
This show is only focusing on the young and shallow. If they wanted to attack all genres of the community, a little action, a dash of humor appropriately placed, and a well-served villian who knows how to act with a flair. Garnish the serving with some well placed hi-jinxs that is sure to keep the audience feeding out of their hand. That, and you could have picked a better looking hero.
One of the key differences between DANTE'S COVE and THE LAIR is that THE LAIR has no cliff-hangers or segways. Everything here is cut and dry as you would expect a vampire to act. Undead or alive, this series lacks the backbone to make it a true cult classic in the gay community. Hope they have better luck next time around.

Lexx - The Fourth Series, Part 2 (Vols. 4-6) (2000) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This final (?) installment to the Lexx saga is, (as all the previous ones), quirky, interesting, provacative, and good. I won't recap as others have probably done. Suffce to say, if you enjoy any of the Lexx stories you will enjoy these. If you have to own them, then you must have these also, (as I had to). The Lexx shows have been a constant enjoyment for me, as a science fiction fan, and a student of philosophy and religion. I love the diractions they have gone and where they might go next. Truly a series that went where nhas gone before.

Hedwig and the Angry Inch (New Line Platinum Series) (2000) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Written, directed and starring John Cameron Mitchell,this film categorizes itself as a "post-punk rock neo glam rock musical". I say it's in a category of it's own. And it completely blew me away.
Hedwig is the most outrageous transsexual character that has ever graced the stage or screen. The audience gets to know Hedwig as a REAL person and not a cartoon character. We see his childhood in East Germany, his romance with an army sergeant, the pressure he feels to have a gender change operation in order to marry his love and leave the oppression of the communist world. This story and the subsequent plot complications are told in flashback against a background of original rock music, whose lyrics throb with the meaning of love and the nature of gender. The sets are original and there's even a sequence where the audience is invited to sing along by following a bouncing ball. The story races along and there are animation sequences as Hedwig searches after lost love and a quest for gender identification. The costumes and wigs are magnificent and the camerawork makes the most of the space and balance of energy. It's an elaborate production. And it also has something important to say.
I loved the lights, the action, the camera, the costumes, the music, the story. But most of all I the loved the characters. Hedwig is simply wonderful! It's not for children though, or religious fundamentalists, or people easily disturbed by transsexualism. But for anyone who wants to see a fantastic rock musical that will make you think as well as entertain, don't miss it. Recommended for those hearty few.

Lexx Series 4 Volume 5 (2000) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)On this DVD volume there is a good episode, a great episode!, another "stupid teenagers" invade The Lexx story, and a head scratcher where the writers are seriously reaching for plot. Here are the episodes:
4.17 Dutch Treat--President Priest, First Lady Bunny, and Prince (caught inside a television set--this is completely unexplained, and seems to have no other purpose than to allow Prince some dialogue). This has some fun editing during on sequence where President Priest and Bunny have to kill a bunch of Moth Breeders in able to regain the key to the Lexx. Just call him "Cowboy Priest." But when they finally get the key, the Lexx is too ill to go anywhere without eating first. They let the Lexx eat Holland. Thus the title of this episode.
4.18 The Game--Chess enthusiasts will love this episode, as I did. Kai and Prince play a high stakes game of chess in the Other Zone where, if Prince wins, Stan and Xev will die. If Kai wins, he will be given life by Prince so that he may finally die. The character discrepancy that allows Kai any sort of motivation other than to kill is always questionable. But this is, and always will be, a classic Lexx episode.
4.19 Haley's Comet--This is where the Lexx is showing it's fatigue as a show. This is another re-do story from season 2 but with a minor plot change. Teenagers invade the Lexx, and instead of Kai going on a murderous rampage slaughtering them all, one of the teens does it with a little motivation from psycho-Robot Head 790. Oh, and there just happens to be a "black pack" on the bridge that nobody has noticed? A "black pack," for those unacquainted, is a very nasty disintegration weapon. This is a tired episode, and if not for a couple truly dazzling special effects near the end, would be a complete waste of time.
4.20 Apocalexx Now--Lyekka, or rather a reasonable facsimile, returns to the Lexx. Now the crew is in Vietnam, of all places, and this is another case of the makers of this show reaching for any sort of story. There are a lot of episodes in season 4 that just don't feel like science fiction, but more along the borders of bizarre fantasy. And just like the previous episode, the humor is either forced on the viewer or absent. This show used to have great satire, but all too often during season 4, like in this weird episode, the story fails to enthrall.
The first two episodes here are the DVD's only saving grace, while the last two are really unnecessary viewing. One more DVD to go...

Caught between their ailing, organic spaceship and doomed planet Earth, the LEXX crew members make one last-ditch move after another as the plot thickens and their troubles multiply.
