This true story, taking place in Fort Campbell, Kentucky, tells the story of the life and tragic death of soldier Barry Winchell. His love for Calpernia Addams, a beautiful, transgenered nightclub performer was misunderstood by fellow soldiers and eventually leads to his brutal death. Stars Lee Pace and Troy Garity. The Showtime original movie SOLDIER'S GIRL tells the heartwrenching true story of Private Barry Winchell (Troy Garity, son of Jane Fonda and Tom Hayden), a 21-year-old soldier beaten to death in army barracks because of his love affair with a transgendered nightclub singer. The ostensibly heterosexual Winchell meets Calpernia Adams (Lee Pace) while out on the town with his infantry buddies and surprises even himself when he decides to date the vulnerable pre-op transsexual. But as the relationship blossoms, it infuriates Winchell's mentally unstable roommate Justin Fisher (Shawn Hatosy), who incites fellow soldier Calvin Glover (Philip Eddolls) to murder Winchell with a baseball bat. A scathing indictment of the codified machismo and homophobia that permeate military life, SOLDIER'S GIRL is also a sweet and tender story of a love that transcends boundaries.
This is the only Philip Eddolls video.

Soldier's Girl Movie Review Average Rating: (4.7 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews one of the best original movies from Showtime
I seen this movie on Showtime and I was totally blown away by this film. I have a millitary friend who is in the Army and because of how B. Winchell was killed has decided to remain closeted while in active duty. It's a shame that we as FREE AMERICANS are still so closed minded when it comes to sexual preference among those who are willing to risk their very lives for our country so that we can kill them in their sleep. I had my friend watch this show with me and he cried when the movie ended. A great show that I hope Barry Winchell would be proud of!!

This True story touches your heart for all the right reasons. Our soldiers need someone who cares for them as humans whom are bound by a career of death.

 $6.29
Pleased with the success of 1996's initial presentation, HBO gathered another group of successful actresses for IF THESE WALLS COULD TALK 2. Set in the same suburban house as the original--but with different inhabitants--this made-for-cable trilogy is a dramatic exploration into the lives of three separate lesbian couples in three different moments in history. The first chapter, 1961, tells the somber story of an aging woman (Vanessa Redgrave) who is left facing prejudice and intolerance after the death of her longtime companion. Unable to come to terms with her complex situation, she is forced to suffer alone, confused and distraught. ...

This quirky comedy turns gay and straight stereotypes on end in an hysterical combination of LA CAGE AUX FOLLES and THE GODFATHER. Stephen (Greg Lauren) and Danny (Christopher Gartin) are a successful gay couple living in Manhattan. Their lives are turned upside down when Stephen's parents announce a sudden visit. In a comic twist, the problem is not that they are gay, but that lead top-secret lives as hit men for mafia kingpin Victor Patrizzi (Tony Lo Bianco). Beloved members of his crime family, Victor treats the two men like his own sons, and wishes his own slightly effeminate sons (who would gladly leave the family "business" for careers in catering and decorating) could be more ...

Director Richard Kelly's follow-up to 2001's surprisingly popular DONNIE DARKO is a sprawling dystopian satire featuring an all-star cast and a storyline that splinters off into strange and unexpected places. The film begins with a nuclear explosion in Texas, which sparks a full-scale war between the U.S., the Middle East, and North Korea. Kelly's central character is action-movie star Boxer Santaros (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson), who is suffering from a bout of amnesia upon returning from the desert. His reasons for being in the desert are hazy, but he's hooked up with porn star Krysta Now (Sarah Michelle Gellar), and together they have written a screenplay about the end of the world. Santaros tries to prepare for the film by taking a ride with a cop named Taverner (Sean William Scott). But the cop is actually Taverner's twin brother, who is working for a shadowy group of neo-Marxists who are trying to overthrow the government. Meanwhile, a brilliant scientist (Wallace Shawn) unveils an incredible new energy source, the end of the world as predicted by the Book of Revelations draws ever closer, and Justin Timberlake (who plays an Iraqi war veteran) provides a voiceover that fills in some of the gaps. As the film builds to its explosive climax, the reasons for Santaros's time in the desert become clear, and the various strands of the plot are brilliantly woven together.
SOUTHLAND TALES is packed with ideas, tangents, song-lyrics-as-dialogue (in particular, "Three Days" by Jane's Addiction), cameos from established stars, and plenty of references to the post-9/11 political landscape. Kelly's film is bursting with imagination, and it will undoubtedly ...
