Four score and seven years ago, there was no home entertainment. Fortunately, there is now—and we can re-live how President Lincoln navigated political and personal life (but not an assassin’s bullet, sadly) during his final days in Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln. Another assassin, played by Brad Pitt, is tasked to dole out justice in wholly fictitious crime dramedy, Killing Them Softly.
Queer filmmakers head up a pair of indies out this week: A talking suit plagues a family, including a transgender son, in Bob’s New Suit. And West Hollywood is the backdrop for three gay friends’ grabs at happiness in The Wishmakers.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
The Wishmakers
($24.99 DVD; Ariztical Entertainment)
In this homage to Three Coins in a Fountain, a trio of queens start new lives in way-gay West Hollywood, where they get involved with celebrities, fitness, gender-bending and, of course, relationships. Writer/director David Grotell, whose previous shorts are hysterical, makes an equally zany feature debut.

Was really disappointed with Lincoln. I can’t imagine sitting through 80 additional minutes of that! ZZZZZZZZZZZ
