The
Kinsey Sicks: I Wanna Be a Republican, coming to DVD on June
12 from Eyethink Pictures. In this stage performance from The
Kinsey Sicks, the infamous "Dragapella Beauty Shop Quartet,"
the gents play republican women at a GOP fundraiser sharing some

translates perfectly on the small screen, retaining every bit
of its camp, raunchy humor and harmony.
Mr. Leather is the unforgettable account of the exotic and misinterpreted
underground gay subculture surrounding leather
contests. Directed by first-time filmmaker Jason Garrett, the
film chronicles the lives of nine men as they strive for the
crown of the Mr. Los Angeles Leather competition. This thought-provoking
documentary takes us into the homes, offices and relationships
of the contestants with equal amounts of sincerity and
raw humor. Told through the voices of authors, sex experts,
psychologists and the men themselves, Garrett effortlessly humanizes
the often misunderstood counterculture immersed in leather and
sexual fetishes.
The DVD extras are comprised of five featurettes including a
history of the leather scene, an afternoon with contestant Chris
Woods and an explicit behind-the-scenes look at the adult film
Hard Cops with porn star Zak Spears.
Canada
has always been known for its beavers, Mounties and winter climate.
However, over the past several years, a new image of the country
is emerging one of potent marijuana, gay marriage and new freedoms.
With the legalization of same-sex marriage, decriminalization
of marijuana and its popularity as a refuge for A.W.O.L. U.S.
soldiers, the reputation of the Great White North has heated
up from cold to ultra-cool. A story that reaches far beyond
its borders, ESCAPE TO CANADA, from award-winning director Albert
Nerenberg, chronicles how the oft-ignored country became a red
and white beacon for freedom around the world. On May 22, home
audiences can discover for themselves
if Canada has become the true "land of the free," when
the acclaimed 2005 theatrical release makes its U.S. DVD Debut.
A witty and complex
coming-of-age tale in the venerable tradition of Dead Poets Society
and Stand And Deliver, The History Boys deftly balances the tragedy
of youth's shattered illusions with blazingly acerbic humor.
Mentored by two teachers, an astute young teaching novice and
an insightful old eccentric, and watched by a results obsessed
headmaster, eight working class boys share one seemingly impossible
dream: to gain admittance into England's most exclusive and prestigious
universitie.
