if you're headed to the video store tonight, you might want to keep these queer interest DVD's in mind.

Teeth
Teeth is the first directorial effort from out actor Mitchell Lichtenstein. The premise is ... well, read for yourself:

“High school student Dawn works hard at suppressing her budding sexuality by being the local chastity group's most active participant. Her task is made even more difficult by her bad boy stepbrother Brad's increasingly provocative behavior at home. A stranger to her own body, innocent Dawn discovers she has a toothed vagina when she becomes the object of violence. As she struggles to comprehend her anatomical uniqueness, Dawn experiences both the pitfalls and the power of being a living example of the vagina dentata myth.”

We reviewed it at the beginning of the year, and it sounds like a good choice if you like, quirky, offbeat indies.

I'm Not There
Speaking of offbeat, out director Todd Haynes has made a career out of following his own artistic vision, from the Karen Carpenter inspired barbie doll short Superstar, to the gay anthology Poison and the glam rock epic Velvet Goldmine. His biggest success came with the Douglas Sirk inspired Far From Heaven in 2002. His Bob Dylan biopic I'm Not There is released today, and features an Oscar nominated gender-bending performance from Cate Blanchett.

The Witnesses' Michel Blanc and Johan Libéreau

The Witnesses
Wild Reeds director Andre Techine releases his latest, The Witnesses (Les Témoins) today. It's about the onslaught of AIDS in the mid-80's in France, and how it affects a circle of friends. (Ed. note: As a reader points out, The Witnesses is not actually out until June 24, but is available today for pre-order from TLA. Thanks for the correction - BJ)

Bewitched: Season Six
And the sixth season of Bewitched is released today. This season saw the birth of Samantha and Durwood's son Adam, the introduction of my favorite character, the clumsy Esmerelda, played by the fabulous Alice Ghostley, and of course, appearances from gay faves Paul Lynde and Agnes Moorehead

Happy viewing!

In this week's Angry Puppy video blog, Marc and Lee dish on vaginas with teeth (in regards to the horror comedy Teeth, which we also reviewed earlier this week), handi-cam horror (in regards to Cloverfield, which rocked the house), Marc's Top 10 Gay and Bisexual Sci-Fi Characters list, and much, much more. Did you happen to pass last week's Geek Challenge? Well they've got another one for you this week ... are you geek enough to handle it?
