Coming Gay Attractions! Presenting Our Fall Film Preview!

What's this? A number of fall movies with gay interest? Could Hollywood's post Brokeback Mountain chill finally be coming to an end? The cinematic goodness begins with the wildly-anticipated Milk starring Sean Penn and James Franco, but also includes the indie film Ciao (a movie we called one of the best of the year) and Kevin Smith's new comedy, Zack and Miri Make a Porno, featuring Justin Long and Brandon Routh as a gay couple.

Read on for the scoop about all that's gay and coming soon to a theater near you!

Movie: The Amazing Truth About Queen Raquela (September 26)

What Is It About? It’s a documentary-ish “recreation” of the life of a transgender prostitute in the Philippines who dreams of a life in Paris — and turns to Internet porn to make her dreams come true.

Why Is It Gay? Well, transsexual “ladyboys” ain’t exactly straight, are they?

Big Budget or Indie Darling? What do you think?

Broccoli or Dessert? It looks pretty gritty, and some may find its not-quite-a-documentary-not-quite-a-scripted-story format off-putting. But perhaps the broccoli-like journey is offset by a dessert-like happy ending.

Movie: La Linea (October 1)

What Is It About? A drug lord is targeted for elimination by Ray Liotta’s assassin.

Why Is It Gay? One of the drug lords is gay. And Esai Morales, Andy Garcia, and Ray Liotta are pretty easy on the eyes.

Big Budget or Indie Darling? The producers saw big international crossover potential in this Tijuana-set action — and budgeted accordingly.

Broccoli or Dessert? A delectable flan.
