Out at the Movies: March 23rd

This weekend we've got a few honest-to-gosh "gay movies", a few wretched-looking family films (what the @^&$ is a "Mimsy"?!), and bunch of hot men in Speedos. We'll leave it to you to decide which are worth your time. Oh, who are we kidding?!

Boy Culture
This tawdry tale of a hustler (oh God not again...) and his roommates was a hit at gay fests ... but then again, so is anything with a lot of shirtless men in it (I'm sorry, but it's totally true). Our reviewer found Culture to be a disappointing outing from director Q. Allen Brocka (who helmed the enjoyable Eating Out), but the film has gotten some positive -- if qualified -- notices (in his positive review, Film Threat's Phil Hall admits that it's a "guilty pleasure"). Here's a trailer for ya:

Colour Me Kubrick
This gonzo, garish "based on a true-ish story" pic about a middle-aged, alcoholic queen who pretends that he's director Stanley Kubrick is pure camp. John Malkovich is hilariously over-the-top as the conniving central character, but the film doesn't offer much beyond his unhinged performance -- check out my full review for more info.

Pride
Reviews of this based-on-true-event sport story are mediocre, with most critics praising the charismatic cast (which includes Terrence Howard, Tom Arnold and Bernie Mac) and damning the formulaic script. But let's be honest, fellas: there's primarily one reason that this film is temping our tummies:

Hot men in banana hammocks, harder and more often.

Otherwise, as online reviewer TheMovieBoy puts it, it looks like "Pride is a generic title for a generic movie".
