Out on DVD: The sexy, silent "Solos"
Â
Lim Yu-Beng and Loo Zihan in Solos
The sexy, stylish and silent Solos makes its debut in an otherwise slow week for DVD.
Read on for more, including our Title of the Week!

Solos layers a complex sound mix (but no dialogue) over the haunting story of Man (Lim Yu-Beng) and Boy (co-director Loo Zihan), whose relationship is growing strained as Boy grows out of his adolescence; not helping matter is Boy's grasping Mother (Goh Guat Kian), who wants her son to come home.
This haunting film was banned in Singapore due to its homoerotic content but was received with great acclaim in the west; the DVD features a commentary track featuring Zihan in discussion with John Cameron Mitchell and Sir Ian McKellen.

For our Title of the Week, I considered the that's-so-wrong RetarDead, but that was too politically incorrect even for me. Instead, I went for Stomp! Shout! Scream!, a low-budget rock musical–horror movie. Love that DVD cover, blaring appearances by bands like "CATFIGHT!" and "The PENETRATORS!"
