Naked Boys in NYC and More

As often happens with smaller independent films, their limited release can sometimes slip through the cracks. Such is the case with three recent gay-themed indies, now playing in select cities prior to their eventual release on DVD (when most of us will actually be able to see them).

The movie version of the long-running Off-Broadway musical Naked Boys Singing opened this weekend in Manhattan. Since the show itself has been playing in New York for almost ten years now, it's odd that they would chose to only play the movie there. If you had a choice, which would you choose: live naked boys singing or filmed naked boys singing? Yeah, me too.

There was an opening night party after the premiere at Splash, and Broadway World has the pictures to prove it. Members of the cast were there, fully clothed and "Saint Joan"-less, unlike the shots here. To see the uncensored versions, visit the movie's official website.

If you can't make it to Manhattan (or one of the few other cities that will get it), the unrated Naked Boys Singing DVD is already set for release on December 4, and you can pre-order it right here, right nowfrom Amazon.com.

On the other side of the country, gay film fest fave Itty Bitty Titty Committee is now playing in Los Angeles. As if you couldn't tell from that hilarious title, the film is a lesbian comedy about radical feminism, directed by Jamie Babbit of But I'm a Cheerleader fame and starring Melanie Mayron and Guinevere Turner. For more information on the movie, visit its My Space page, where you can also watch the trailer.

Another film that made its way through the festival circuit this summer is For the Bible Tells Me So. Directed by Daniel Karslake, the documentary takes a look at what the good book really says about homosexuality. Now showing in select theaters, visit the official site for dates and locations in your area. The trailer is also available.
