Old Dogs & New Tricks Season 3 Trailer – The gay-themed web series is back in November

October 18, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The WeHo escapades of middle-aged gay best buds Nathan, Brad, Ross & Muscles continue beginning Nov. 12, 2014, when popular gay web series Old Dogs & New Tricks returns for its long-awaited third season.

The season premiere picks up one week after the events of the show’s recent Halloween-set “mini-movie” WeHo Horror Story, with Nathan reeling from Damian’s disappearance and Ross preparing for his impending gay divorce. But this year, the show expands its scope:

“We still see the guys’ romantic misadventures,” explains show creator/writer/star Leon Acord. “But this year, we also see more of their successes and mistakes in their professional lives. We may have fewer sex scenes this year, but the ones we have are more outrageous than ever–including the show’s first bare ass!”

The new season also features guest-star appearances from Rutanya Alda (Mommie Dearest), who plays Nelson Van Eddy’s haughty personal assistant Barbara Fierce in four episodes. Mo Gaffney (Absolutely Fabulous) appears in the season premiere as Ross’ divorce attorney, while Kathryn Leigh Scott (Dark Shadows) plays Muscles’ mom, Lily Anne, in the season finale. Jim J. Bullock (Too Close for Comfort) makes a cameo as Nathan’s latest celebrity-quack therapist.

The entire principal cast returns for the new season. Besides Acord as neurotic talent agent Nathan, the show stars Curt Bonnem as hedonistic Brad, Jeffrey Patrick Olson as wholesome Muscles, David Pevsner as struggling actor Ross & Amanda Gari (in an expanded role) as Nathan’s wise-cracking “girl-Friday” Lydia Lasker. Bruce L. Hart appears in three episodes as resident villain Nelson, as does Parnell Damone Marcano as Ross’ estranged spouse Neal.

New episodes debut each subsequent Wednesday at www.OldDogsNewTricksTheSeries.com and the show’s YouTube channel (youtube/OldDogsTheSeries).

“I’m very proud of this season,” says Acord, “Our cast and crew all brought their A-game, and it shows. I can honestly say its our best yet. I can’t wait to see what our viewers think!

Take a look at the trailer for the new season below. [Read more…]

October 14, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

After picking up the NETPAC (Network for the Promotion of Asian Cinema) award for Best Asian Film at the 39th Toronto International Film Festival, Margarita with a Straw is due to get a British airing at the London Film Festival in a few days time. As a result it’s a great opportunity to take a look at the LGBT-inclusive movie.

The film follows Laila (Kalki Koechlin), who embarks on the journey to seek love and acceptance. Sayani Gupta (Tasher Desh), plays the feisty and beautiful feminist with whom Laila embarks on a relationship, while veteran Indian actress Revathy is Laila’s mother and British actor William Moseley (Chronicles of Narnia), is Laila’s handsome friend Jared.

The film will be screened on 17th & 18th October 2014 at Vue West End Cinema & Vue Cinema Islington, London respectively. Tickets can be purchased via the festival website.

The Gays Movie Trailer – Things get camp and a little crazy for a super-gay family

October 7, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

If this trailer is anything to go by, the new movie, The Gays, is certainly going to be very camp, but may also have a few good points to make about being gay in a modern world – even if it’s not going to deal with them in a completely politically correct way. It looks like it might be a little sexy too.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Wouldn’t it be great if your parents taught you how to hold your own in a fag-eat-fag world? Rod Gay and Bob Gay-Paris are the streetwise gay mentors you never had. Come revel in the raunchy wisdom they pass along to their two gay sons — Alex and Tommy — advice that will empower the boys to bend the world over, lube it up, and snap one off!’

T.S. Slaughter’s movie is now available via The Gays’ official website. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Dick: The Documentary Trailer – Looking at men’s relationship with what’s between their legs (NSFW)

October 7, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

dick-the-documentary-poster Men can certainly have a complicated relationship with their penises, although it’s one that’s not often dealt with head on. Dick: The Documentary aims to challenge that, with guys getting nude and talking about their bits and difficulties and joys it’s given them, and due to how the participants were found it’s got a rather LGBT focus.

Take a look at the trailer below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In August 2008, filmmaker Brian Fender used Craigslist to invite strangers into his living room to strip down and reveal themselves physically and emotionally through personal stories about their relationship to their penises. Fender interviewed a vast cross-section of naked men about their prized appendage: from monks to transsexuals to ex-marines to designers, ranging in age from 21 to 80. Hoping to demystify, illuminate, and even celebrate this “member” in our society, this DIY documentary is a candid exploration of what it means to have a dick. Mr. Fender described the film: “it’s touching, it’s funny, it’s honest … an honest depiction of what it means from first perceptions all the way to the loss of function that men experience … I thought that they were incredibly thoughtful.” After finishing the first round of edits, the film played at selected festivals and for special screenings before being released as an Internet Premier Presentation.’

Fender recently told Huffpo, ‘I found that the men who participated were very thoughtful. I didn’t get any sexist thugs, which I was kind of disappointed about. I assume that men who are more conservative and judge sexual expression beyond the heterosexual paradigm — and would probably call these men, myself included, a pervert — would, I imagine, have less healthy sexual attitudes and feel threatened by the questions this film asks. But as educated as my subjects were, many of them told me that this was the first time they had said these things out loud and that they found it cathartic. I had also wanted to talk about using your dick as a weapon, but I got the feeling from these men that they weren’t sexually aggressive. The one thing that is funny is that there isn’t a glimmer of consensus about the dick. The opinions are as varied as the penises themselves.’

Those in the US can watch the documentary at IndiePix. [Read more…]

To Russia With Love Trailer & Clips – Looking at Russia’s anti-gay laws during the Winter Olympics

October 7, 2014 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

To Russia With Love explores the impact of Russia’s anti-gay laws as the world’s media converges on Sochi for the 2014 Winter Olympic Games. LGBT athletes and activists had to choose whether to risk their own safety by speaking out against Russia’s anti-gay laws.

Cameras follow the experience of outspoken figure skater and commentator Johnny Weir (who caused controversy before the Olympics for seeming to refuse to speak out against what was happening in Russia, while simultaneously preparing to make this doc), tennis legend and official US Olympic delegate Billie Jean King, as well as several openly gay Olympic hopefuls and Russian LGBT activity.

We’ve got three clips from the EPIX Original Documentary as well as the newly released trailer, which you can take a look at below. The doc premieres in the US at 8pm on Wednesday October 29th, 2014 on EPIX. [Read more…]

The Imitation Game UK Trailer – Benedict Cumberbatch takes on Enigma as Alan Turing

October 2, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Next week the London Film Festival kicks off with a gala screening of The Imitation Game, and then on November 14th it gets its UK release. With that in mind Studiocanal has released a new UK trailer for the film, which you can watch below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘THE IMITATION GAME is a nail-biting race against time following Alan Turing (pioneer of modern-day computing and credited with cracking the German Enigma code) and his brilliant team at Britain’s top-secret code-breaking centre, Bletchley Park, during the darkest days of World War II. Turing, whose contributions and genius significantly shortened the war, saving thousands of lives, was the eventual victim of an unenlightened British establishment, but his work and legacy live on.’

What that for some reason doesn’t mention is that he became a ‘victim’ because he was gay, when he was prosecuted due to his sexuality. That resulted in him being chemically castrated and shunned by the establishment, despite his war achievements. He eventually died on cyanide poisoning in what most believe to be suicide.

Bad Ass Gays Trailer – Taking a look at gay guys living on adrenaline in action-packed jobs

September 27, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

LGBT focused US TV network Logo seems fascinated by those defying the sexual orientation stereotypes this year. Back in June they aired Gay Lives of Straight Guys, about lady-loving fellows in professions that most people thinks being for women and gay men.

Now they’re doing somewhat the reverse with the upcoming Bad Ass Gays, Christopher Hines’ documentary looking as gay guys who live on the edge, taking on pulse-pounding, ‘manly’ activities and jobs, from ice hockey and cage fighting to the army and mountaineering.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Taking a hard punch in the ring, careening 180 mph around a race track or leading a combat mission, it’s a brave new world for gay men openly pursuing their professional passions, defying stereotypes, discrimination and setting the stage for a new generation. “Bad Ass Gays” is a documentary that tells the personal stories of gay men in “manly” professions, going on the job with them, revealing their motives, passions, joys, challenges and struggles to succeed. The film is a co-production between Rogue Culture and Logo TV. It premieres in the fall of 2014.’ [Read more…]

Hunted: The War Against Gays In Russia Trailer – Matt Bomer narrates a look at an increasingly dire situation

September 27, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

There’s been a lot written about the situation for gay people in Russia, with the country becoming increasingly homophobic – or at least the most virulent homophobes feel they have free rein ever since Putin enacted the infamous ‘gay propaganda’ law.

While outwardly banning the ‘promotion’ of anything LGBT in front of minors, the effects have been far reaching, from gay film festival screening being shut down to people being kidnapped and tortured.

However it’s one thing to hear about this from the outside, but now the documentary The War Against Gays In Russia hopes to take us inside the country to see the situation of the ground. Matt Bomer narrates the film, which will air on HBO in the US on October 6th.

The network writes, ‘Homosexuality was legalized in Russia 21 years ago, but gay people in the country have yet to win mainstream acceptance. In fact, attitudes in Russia appear to be moving backwards. With jobs and relationships at risk if their sexual orientation is exposed, most gay Russians remain closeted. As one gay man who lost sight in one eye during a recent unprovoked attack says ruefully, “Hunting season is open…and we are the hunted.”

Hunted: The War Against Gays in Russia features disturbing insider footage of homophobic Russians who, in the name of morality or religion, beat and torment gay people, posting graphic videos of their encounters online with few or no legal repercussions. These vigilantes see homosexuality as related to pedophilia, stating publicly that their justification for violence is protecting Russia’s children.’

First Look At Chris Salvatore & Charlie David In Matt Riddlehoover’s Gay-Themed Comedy Paternity Leave

September 10, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

While we won’t get to see the new comedy Paternity Leave until 2015, our first look at the movie has slipped out with a making of… featurette, which gives us our first view of the gorgeous likes of Charlie David, Chris Salvatore, and Jacob York in the film, as well as director Matt Riddlehoover (Scenes From A Gay Marriage) hard at work on the set. Take a look at it below.

In the film Greg (Jacob York) finds out that he’s pregnant with his partner Ken’s (Charlie David) baby. Dumbstruck by the news, their relationship takes twists and turns through hardship and hilarity, while we’re left wondering if they’re going to make it through the most unexpected and difficult period of their lives together. Chris Salvatore also stars.

However to get it all finished it needs your help, as the movie has launched an IndieGoGo campaign with the hope of raising $5,000 in post-production funding, which will help with things such as 2nd unit photography, editing, sound mix, music licensing, and color correction. So if you want to make sure Chris, Charlie and Jacob look and sound all they they should be, you’ll have to head over the IndieGoGo.

And if you need to know why they should always look their best, take a look at the pics of Chris Salvatore and Charlie David in the links. [Read more…]
