Apropos Of Nothing: Andrew Christian Guys Lock Lips In A New Kiss Video

By 2 Comments

andrew-christian-kissOne thing you’d normally consider essential for a successful underwear ad is, well, some underwear. Andrew Christian normally agrees, as most of their videos make sure we get to see the support and, err, jiggliness AC undies offer.

However with Kiss they’ve dispensed with underwear completely, instead just getting some incredibly hot guys to kiss on-screen (so it’s still pretty NSFW).

It might not be your usual way of selling undies but we’re not complaining one bit.

And for porn fans, along with some of the usual Andrew Christian guys are a few of the ‘actors’ from Cockyboys. It must have made a nice change for them just to have to do some snogging on camera for a change.

Take a look at the video below. [Read more…]

Great New Pics Of Neil Patrick Harris And The Hedwig Broadway Cast Arrive

By Leave a Comment

hedwig-broadway-pic2It’s just 10 days until the first ever Broadway production of John Cameron Mitchell’s awesome Hedwig And The Angry Inch officially debuts.

There are already a lot of people who are very excited about it, but just in case anyone hasn’t already booked a ticket, some new pictures featuring Neil Patrick Harris and the rest of the cast – including Lena Hall as Yitzhak – have been released via BroadwayWorld.

In the musical NPH plays the East German title character, who was left with an angry inch after a botched sex change operation that she had in order to get into the US with her American GI lover. Hedwig then started dating young Tommy Gnosis, who left her behind when he took her music and became a rock star – leaving her understandably bitter (but still very funny).

Previews have already started at the Belasco Theatre, ready for the big launch next week.

Personally I think Neil should keep the giant blonde hair permanently. (Click on the pics below for larger versions). [Read more…]

Crush Of The Day: Tom Hardy Gets His Shirt Off For The Cover Of Esquire

By Leave a Comment

tom-hardy-esquire1Tom Hardy is not a man who’s averse to getting his kit off, and for that we can all be thankful. The latest excuse he’s found to get his shirt off is for the cover of Esquire magazine.

And if you’re a fan of chiselled, tatted, hairy guys, you’re in for a treat.

However in the accompanying interview he suggests that his man’s man image isn’t the whole story. He says, “I have always been frightened with men. To the point where I couldn’t go into a gym because of the testosterone and I felt weak. I don’t feel very manly. I don’t feel rugged and strong and capable in real life, not how i imagine a man ought to be. So I seek it, to mimic it and maybe understand it, or maybe to draw it into my own reality. People who are scary, they terrify me, but I can imitate them. I’m not a fighter. I’m a petite little bourgeosis boy from London. I don’t fight, I mimic.”

Please insert your own joke here about finding a way to test his manliness.

Take a look at a couple more shots of Tom from Esquire below (click on them for larger versions). [Read more…]

Boys Trailer – There’s gay teen romance in the air for two young track stars

By Leave a Comment


Boys is having its premiere today at the Boston LGBT Film Festival and will be heading for other film festivals around the world this summer. And as this trailer shows, the Dutch movie is a sweet looking gay teen romance that seems like it’ll be well worth watching.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In this beautiful and uplifting gay romance, two teen track stars discover first love as they train for the biggest relay race of their young lives. Chiseled Dutch phenom Gijs Blom stars as Sieger, a thoughtful 15-year-old who grapples mightily with his emerging gayness. Equally handsome Ko Zandvliet co-stars as his love interest, the spirited and outgoing Marc.

‘In their boyish summer courtship the two of them swim, bike, run — and share ice creams and kisses as they gradually find the courage to be vulnerable with one another. The romance between them unfolds with a palpable sense of longing — and an aching sequence of heartache as Sieger tries to fight the inevitable. With its authentic and perfectly poignant tone Boys ranks as one of the most wholesomely romantic gay teen films ever.’

Expect a DVD and VoD releasing in the US towards the end of the year. [Read more…]

Tru Love Trailer – Unexpected bonds between three women in the lesbian-themed movie

By 1 Comment


Tru Love has had some great notices following its film festival screenings, including recently at London’s BFI Flare fest, so if it comes anywhere near you, make sure you check it out.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Tru, 37, is a serial bed-hopping lesbian who cannot commit to a relationship or a job for long.

‘Restless by nature and wounded by the past, she seems to live from pillar to post, from mattress to mattress, bobbing along through life with no anchor to ground her. She gets by on her wits, her considerable good looks and charm — but at her age, it is all starting to wear a little thin.

‘Then she meets Alice, 60, a beautiful widow, who has come to town at the last minute to visit her daughter Suzanne, a too-busy corporate lawyer. Suzanne, 35, is Tru’s friend.

‘When Tru meets Alice, sparks fly and Alice and Tru begin forging an unlikely friendship…and more. Suzanne, who has a deeply conflicted relationship with her mother and a complicated and a secret past with Tru, becomes increasingly alarmed at the growing bond between Tru and Alice.

‘After Suzanne witnesses an intimate moment between the two, feeling jealous and threatened, she tries to sabotage the budding romance. But it backfires, as Tru Love is hard to contain.’

It’ll be released on DVD and VoD in the US by Wolfe Video later this year. [Read more…]

The Way He Looks Trailer – Fresh look at the Teddy-Award winning gay film

By Leave a Comment


A couple of months ago The Way He Looks picked up the Teddy Award at the Berlin Film Festival, which is given each year to the best LGBT-themed movie. It was good news for fans of the short film it’s based on, the great I Don’t Want to Go Back Alone (which you can watch below), who’d hope the feature version would live up to the short’s promise.

Now you can take a look at a trailer above.

The Brazilian movie is Daniel Ribeiro’s first feature and charts the story of Leonardo; a blind teenager dealing with an overprotective mother while trying to live a more independent life. To the disappointment of his best friend, Giovana, he plans to go on an exchange program abroad. When Gabriel, a new student in town, arrives at their classroom, new feelings blossom in Leonardo making him question his plans to fulfil his promise to Giovana. [Read more…]

Win The Studio Ghibli Classic Pom Poko On Blu-ray/DVD Double Play

By Leave a Comment

POM-POKO_ORING_3DFrom the acclaimed director of GRAVE OF THE FIREFLIES and available for the first time on Blu-ray Double in stunning high-definition, Studio Ghibli’s POM POKO is a unique window into Japanese folklore, a comedy of modern failings, and an elegiac tale of unlikely heroes fighting insurmountable odds.

It’s out on April 14th in the UK and we’ve got three copies to give away.

As civilisation draws ever nearer to their idyllic forest home, a group of mischievous Japanese tanuki raccoons try to scare humans away. But they soon discover that man is not their only rival in the struggle for their age-old territory.

Originally released in 1994 as the Japanese economy slumped but looking back to the sixties construction boom in Tokyo’s Tama Hills, POM POKO questions the money-grabbing ethics of yuppie Japan, and mourns the loss of the countryside. Drawing on Japanese myths and legends, writer and director Isao Takahata presents a satirical view of woodland spirits using every available magical ruse to take on the modern developers: including transformations, sabotage and trickery.

If you’d like to try and win one of the three copies of Pom Poko on Blu-ray & DVD Double Play that we’ve got to give away, answer the question below and fill in your details, then press submit! The competition closes on April 25th 2014, so get answering and good luck! [Read more…]

Johnny Depp Will Be Part Of Kevin Smith’s Strange Horror-Thriller Tusk

By Leave a Comment

johnny-depp-slideJohnny Depp isn’t afraid of doing unexpected things just because it sounds fun, and it seems he’s at it again as it appears he’s going to have a role in Kevin Smith’s strange horror-thriller, Tusk.

It’s Tusk’s leading man, Justin Long, who made the surprising revelation in an interview with Newsday, where he refers to the film as being, “Yeah, the one where a man turns into a war horse [sic]. It’s called Tusk. Johnny Depp is in that one.”

But it’s not a war horse, it’s a walrus, with Long as a journalist who lands the story of a lifetime when he meets Mr. Howe (Michael Parks), an adventurer who has a strange penchant for the sea mammals. After he goes missing, his friends must find him. Genesis Rodriguez, Haley Joel Osment and Ralph Garman co-star.

It would be easy to think Justin Long was just joking, but it does fit with a tweet from Smith last September, where he said, ‘HE’S IN!!! HE’S IN!!!!!! #WalrusYes (More info when I can share it. Just needed to mark the highlight of my career for future reference…)’.

Johnny Depp’s role has not been confirmed, but TheWrap suggests that he may be a French-Canadian inspector named, Guy LaPointe, who looking a strange case involving a man trapped in a walrus costume. It’s only a small part, which Kevin Smith has said would be perfect for a big star cameo, as it only involves two days of filming.

Great Gatsby Director Baz Luhrmann Gets Ready For Kung Fu

By Leave a Comment

Baz-LuhrmannLast week it was revealed that Universal Pictures and Legendary are pushing forward with a film version of the classic 1970s TV series, Kung Fu. Now THR reports that a perhaps unexpected name is in talks to direct, Moulin Rouge and Great Gatsby’s Baz Luhrmann.

Rich Wilkes (xXx, Marvel’s Iron Fist) has been working on the script, but assuming Luhrmann does sign up, he’ll also want to rewrite the screenplay.

The original Kung Fu TV series starred David Carradine as Kwai Chang Caine, a Shaolin monk who roams the American heartland, long for his missing half-brother. This movie version will be set in China, where Caine is searching for his father. The current version of the script has him ending up in jail, where he must fight to survive.

Luhrmann has never made an action movie before (he was flirted with the western on more than one occasion though), although his stylized, rather hyperbolic moviemaking methods could certainly make this an interesting visual feast.

Hopefully he’ll actually get the movie made as a film version of Kung Fu has been in development for years, most recently with Bill Paxton attached to direct back in 2011.
