Starring Christian Taylor, Lindy Heymann
Director Christian Taylor, Lindy Heymann
Closed Captioned; Soundtrack English

A laugh-out-loud mockumentary in the vein of WAITING FOR GUFFMAN, SHOWBOY tells the story of Christian Taylor, a writer for the acclaimed HBO series SIX FEET UNDER. Shortly after agreeing to be filmed for a documentary, Taylor is sacked by his boss, producer Alan Ball. When the documentary crew does not let on that they have heard of Taylor being fired, he decides to pretend as if he simply has a new work assignment -- to research Las Vegas and its flashy nightlife scene by auditioning as a "showboy." A hilariously irreverent exploration of the incomparable Vegas scene, SHOWBOY also features star cameos from Whoopi Goldberg and Seigfried and Roy.

This is the only Lindy Heymann video.

After he's outed at his Midwestern precinct, gay cop John (Jonathan Wade Drahos) heads to Los Angeles to stay with his cousin Tad (Daniel Kucan), a documentary filmmaker chronicling the local gay scene. Naïve and closeted for a little too long, John only needs one little sniff and he's totally sucked into the world of "circuit" parties, drug-fueled gay raves full of steamy sex, thumping disco, steroid-amped bodies, and soap opera-style interpersonal drama. Soon his life is spiraling out of control and it's time to learn some valuable lessons. Ex-Playgirl centerfold Dirk Shafer directs CIRCUIT from a script he wrote with producer Gregory Hinton. There's lots of drug use, vanity, angst, groping, and softcore sex (bed sheets and shadows mask total full frontal nudity). Kiersten Warren adds some estrogen and humor as John's college pal who has also come to L.A. to pursue her career as a stand-up comic. Jim J. Bullock (TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT) appears as a drag queen, William Katz and Nancy Allen are married party promoters caught up in a scam involving AIDS and life insurance. Many of the scenes were filmed at actual circuit parties (including the notorious "White Party"), with the attendees acting as extras. From Director Dirk Schafer, whose "Man of the Year" pulled women's magazine centerfolds out of the closet, comes ...

DVD $18.85  5 stars
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 like Stephen and Danny. But Stephen's parents expect their son and his partner to be stereotypically gay and running a successful catering business--never imagining that they are actually ...

Director David Moreton follows-up his acclaimed EDGE OF SEVENTEEN with the black comedy thriller TESTOSTERONE. Dean is an artist who is abandoned by his Latino lover Pablo. Still obsessed with him, Dean travels to Pablo's native Argentina to search for him. It soon becomes apparent, however, that those close to Pablo don't want Dean finding him, and as Dean becomes more emotionally unhinged, it seems that perhaps something even more sinister has been sparked by his arrival. TESTOSTERONE is a noirish comedy featuring beautiful Argentinean locations and handsome young stars. This dark film noir comedy finds Dean (David Sutcliffe ...

Martin Ritt's HUD is an adaptation of Larry McMurtry's novel HORSEMAN, PASS BY, successfully transformed into an entertaining and ambitious contemporary Western. Set on a Texas ranch where Cadillacs, cattle, and transistor radios coexist uneasily, the film stars Paul Newman as the hedonistic, arrogant, and rebellious farmhand Hud Bannon. Hud is constantly at odds with his kind father Homer (Melvyn Douglas), who blames him for the death of his brother. Hud further strains their relationship when he begins taking his nephew out drinking and chasing women. But when it appears that Homer's herd of cattle may have contracted hoof-and-mouth disease, he asks his son's help and advice. Predictably, Homer and Hud disagree about what should be done with the cattle, so Hud tries to gain ownership of the ranch--which could mean taking away his father's sole possession and livelihood. ...
