She forces Hubert to share Albert's bed for the one night he is required to stay to complete the work, much to Albert's horror. Hubert discovers the reason Albert did not want to share a room with him. But rather than the issue being a problem, Hubert shows Albert that he can follow a slightly different life path than the one he envisioned for himself - one closer to the life that Hubert leads with his wife Cathleen - which includes getting married and having a wife to support him emotionally.

Girls Will Be Girls 3 Hollywood "Starlet" Roommates Who Plot Against Each Other

2009-11-25T13:06:00.000-08:00

Tittle:Girls Will Be Girls

Genre: Comedy,Romance

Year: 2003

Plot:A totally over-the-top and hysterical comedy about three Hollywood "starlet" roommates who plot against each other. This soon-to-be-camp-classic stars three of the best drag queens in the business: Coco Peru, Evie Harris and Varla Jean Merman.

A rude, wicked, hilarious and outrageous tale of three woman (who happen to be played by men) and their collective and personal trials and tribulations within and without the Hollywood machine. Coco (Clinton Leupp - of the famous cum in the eye line in Trick) has dreams of reconnecting with the dreamy doctor that performed her first and second abortions. She's the constant recipient of verbal pummeling by her very evil, very drunk and very horny roommate Evie (Jack Plotnick of the amazing short Evie Harris, Shining Star), a delusional over-the-hill actress who will do just about anything to get back in the biz. And then there is the ravenous Varla (Jeffery Roberson aka Varla Jean Merman) who follows suit with unlikely aspirations and demons of her own. Girls will Be Girls was written and directed by Richard Day, one of the lead writers for the superb satire "The Larry Sanders Show."

Girls will be Girls combines razor-sharp wit with major diva performances to produce what will surely become a queer cult classic. Every detail from the costumes and sets to the music seemed geared towards visual pleasures that only gay men may understand. Invite over a few friends, bake some brownies (or pop the corn) and be prepared for some major belly laughs. source / buy at tlavideos

Tittle: Madea Goes to Jail

But Madea's eccentric family members the Browns (David and Tamela Mann) rally behind her, lending their special "country" brand of support.

Meanwhile, Assistant District Attorney Joshua Hardaway (Derek Luke) is on the fast track to career success. But Hardaway lands a case too personal to handle - defending young prostitute and former drug addict Candace Washington (Keshia Knight Pulliam) - and asks his fiancée and fellow ADA Linda Holmes (Ion Overman) to fill in on his behalf.

Wild Side

2009-11-13T20:50:00.001-08:00

Tittle: Wild Side

Genre:Drama,

Year: 2004

Plot:A stunningly atmospheric, emotional, sensual slice-of-life film centered around a most unorthodox three-way relationship between a Russian immigrant, an Arab hustler and a transgendered woman.

Out French director Sébastien Lifshitz (Come Undone) returns with this winner of the 2004 Teddy Award for Best Feature Film at the Berlin Film Festival. Sylvie, a big-city transgendered prostitute, returns to her rural birthplace to be at her dying mother’s side. Along for the experience are her soulmates and lovers, Mikhail, an illegal Russian immigrant who speaks little French, and Jamel, a young Arab hustler. As days go by, the three are flooded with memories of their often painful early years and the surprising circumstances under which they met.

Although much of Wild Side is somber, Lifshitz is ultimately interested in the uplifting fact that this trio of very lucky souls found unconditional love, acceptance and camaraderie in each other. Utilizing little dialogue and some explicit sexual moments, Lifshitz directs with an expert hand and lyrical visual sense; his almost entirely nonprofessional cast — Sylvie is played by Stéphanie Michelini, a real-life transsexual discovered in a café — bring a quiet power to this gorgeously affecting masterwork.
