Out on DVD: Sexy gay terrorists and lots of cartoons

Sexy outlaws, a queer animation director and some cartoons definitely not for kids make up the week's hot new DVD releases.

The Spanish import Clandestinos makes its way to DVD after steaming up the queer film festival circuit. Three dudes escape from a reform school, but two of them have no idea that their ringleader is gay and looking to reunite with his ex-boyfriend, a bomb-throwing terrorist. Lots of amour fou ensues.

Lots of notable animation this week. Most principally of gay interest is the two-disc Lilo & Stitch: Big Wave Edition, which features lots of extras that have previously been available only on international DVD releases.

The new goodies include a directors' commentary (featuring filmmakers Dean DeBlois, who's gay, and Chris Sanders, who isn't) and a two-hour documentary on the making of this contemporary animated classic as well as other behind-the-scenes dish.

While, for me anyway, this latest season of the superbly satirical Adult Swim wasn't as good as the previous two, The Venture Bros.: Season Three still merits a look, if only for the cool, Atari-influenced packaging. (There's also a hilarious gay superhero with magical powers who pops up occasionally, and he's always a hoot.)

And finally, there's Watchmen: Tales of the Black Freighter & Under the Hood, an attempt to include more of the mythos from the original Watchmen book that couldn't fit in the theatrical feature. Black Freighter is a grisly pirate tale that makes for an interesting counterpoint to Watchmen's main plot (and features 300 star Gerard Butler narrating) while Under the Hood features mock vintage interviews concurrent to the release of a superhero's self-unmasking autobiography.
