Out on DVD: For the Bible Tells Me So, Rhinoceros Eyes

Gale Harold in Rhinoceros Eyes

It's been a while since we've done an Out on DVD post on Tuesday, but the sad fact is that there really hasn't been all that much coming down the gay pike lately. But today there are a few releases of interest...

For the Bible Tells Me So
Whether you're a lapsed Catholic, an avowed atheist, a devotee of the Flying Spaghetti Monster or anything in between, you should watch this movie. Seeing how these very different Christian families deal with having a gay child is illuminating, frustrating, and ultimately incredibly moving and inspiring. We don't see enough dialog about gays and faith on a human level, and this film opens up the discussion for anyone who has friends or family who are at odds with what they understand their faith to say about homosexuality. We reviewed the film when it had its limited theatrical release and interviewed director Daniel Karslake, if you'd like to know more.

Rhinoceros Eyes
I actually saw this movie about 5 years ago and while I can't say I loved it, the story of a young prop warehouse employee (Michael Pitt) who will go to any lengths to secure rare objects for a woman he falls for has something about it that sticks in the memory. While there isn't anything gay about the film, I'm mentioning it here because it features an all-too-rare appearance by Queer As Folk's Gale Harold as a dancing gumshoe. Yes, I just said "dancing gumshoe". And he's light on his feet!
