Out Now: Apes, Fright Night, A Prop 8 Rom-Com And More!

Colin Farrell plays the sexy, seductive (and really evil) vampire who moves next door to teenager Charlie Brewster (Anton Yelchin) in this entertaining remake of the ’80s horror-comedy classic. Christopher Mintz-Platz plays Yelchin’s nerdy pal Evil Ed, famously portrayed by gay-porn-star-to-be Stephen Geoffreys in the original. Its not as oozing with gay appeal as the original but  there’s still a tasty bite of homoeroticism. Bonus: Former Dr. Who David Tennant camps it up as Las Vegas magician Peter Vincent in the mockumentary, “Swim Inside My Mind.”

James Franco stretches the boundaries of credibility as a genius scientist in this reboot of the simian sci-fi series. In it, his quest to save his Alzheimer’s-afflicted dad results in a super-smart ape who causes all kinds of havoc. We all know where that’s gonna lead: a world where bears will be the least hairy guys on Scruff.

In this low-fi, character-driven drama, a disabled Iraq War vet moves in with a relative, which stirs up drama among family and friends. Two of the film’s five male leads are gay, but we ain’t telling which.

When Aiden is asked to be the best man at his ex’s commitment ceremony, he finds himself confronting unresolved heartache. To make matters worse, he’ll have to spend the weekend with the ex and his new fiance at their lake house. Rather than go stag, Aiden drags along the larger-than-life Lance to pose as his pretend boyfriend. Will anyone survive the weekend?

Todd Haynes queer glam-rock fantasia—famous for Ewan McGregor’s full-frontal scene and
an amazing retro soundtrack—gets the Blu-Ray treatment.
