ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW

What is there to say that hasn't been said about this masterpiece. It's the ultimate guilty pleasure that's so wrong it's right. It's definitely a movie that shouldn't have ever worked by any means but by some cinematic miracle it does and brilliantly so. You know the story, a recently engaged couple Brad played by a sexy Barry Bostwick and Janet played by the iconic Susan Sarandon are traveling home from a friend's wedding and their car breaks down. So they head out in the rain and come upon a giant haunted looking mansion. Upon arriving they are greeted by a creepy and fabulous brother sister duo and than they meet the doctor a "sweet transvestite" played the charasmatic and timeless Tim Curry. Filled with amazing songs and an abundance of infinite creativity. Rocky Horror picture show is one of the best films ever made and should never try and be remade (let's forget about Fox's travesty). It's an undeniable classic of epic proportions and has one of the biggest and deserved cult fan bases of all time.

MY BEST FRIENDS WEDDING

Ultimately I think this movie is a guilty pleasure but it's just so damn entertaining mostly in a trashy sort of way. Julia Roberts stars as a food critic who begins pining for her hunky best friend played by Dermot Mulroney (Wedding Date) after he announces his engagement to a bubbly and layered Cameron Diaz (Mask). And by pining I mean trying to destroy their wedding. All the actors are in top form here Julia Roberts is so great in against type form and Cameron Diaz is fantastically charming but it's Rupert Everett as Roberts's gay best friend who steals the show. He's charming, handsome, charasmatic and so hilarious.  All in all it's a fun flick that's has a surprising emotional resonance elevated of course by it's fine cast. Despite slightly sloppy direction.

Budget: $38M

Box Office: $299.3M

RUPAUL'S DRAG RACE S5 AND UNTUCKED S4

RUPAUL'S DRAG RACE SEASON 5

It's the season of Ralaskatox and Jinx. This is without a doubt one of my favorites. I love the commercial episode for their signature fragrances with Aubrey O'Day as a judge. Alaska's is genius and Detox's is friggin hilarious and Jinx's is hysterical. The villain this season is undoubtedly Roxy although she is pretty talented. When I think of drag race I think of this season and when I think of Snatch game I think of Jinx's Little Edie.

9/10

Untucked S4

This season of the behind the scenes show is one of the best. Detox has some great moments and it really fleshes out the characters especially Jinx. The show also definitely shows Roxy's true colors. All in all it's pretty fun and enlightening.

BEASTLY BOYZ

Oh David Decateou the movies you make. This movie is some nonsense about a young scantily clad man who decides to avenge his twin sisters death by a group of hot scantily clad guys who (I guess) live at an abandoned camp in the middle of the woods. Basically the movie has him scantily clad going to murder these guys who are also pretty naked in the shower, bed, working out etc. He than sort of massages them for a long time and traces their bodies with a knife before killing them mostly off screen. I wish I could say I hated it but the truth is the guys are pretty damn hot and the movie is kinda sexy. Don't get me wrong like Decateou's other films it's not a good movie but sometimes they just work because of what they are and this does well mostly anyways. Unintentionally funny and seductively engaging Beastly boyz is a homoerotic hoot.

ADVENTURES OF PRISCILLA QUEEN OF THE DESERT

When I first saw this film in my adolescence I have to admit I wasn't a very big fan. I found it to be depressing and a bit droll. After revisiting it so many years later I have a slightly better opinion of it. Looking at it with different eyes I appreciate aspects of it that I didn't before. If you haven't seen this queer classic it tells the story of a single gay dad who hasn't seen his son in ages and gets contracted by his former wife to do a drag show at a resort in the middle of the desert. The man is surprisingly Hugo Weaving of the Matrix films and he brings along his two friends. An aging transvestite whose just lost her lover played by a solid Terence Stamp and a flirty, young, charasmatic drag queen played by a surprisingly engaging and sexy Guy Pearce of Memento. The film tracks their journey across the desert and all the mishaps that go along with it. In the end I definitely enjoyed it more but it left me wanting a bit more character and story development. That being said it's still a wild, fun stylish ride with a great soundtrack.

Budget: $2M

Box Office: $29.7M

PSYCHO BEACH PARTY

Oh where to begin with this delightfully queer, horror comedy thriller. Drag Queen/Actress Charles Busch (Die Mommie Die) stars as a cop on the case of some teens getting chopped on the beach. The wonderfully weird Lauren Ambrose (Six feet under) stars as Chicklet a young woman who wants to be down the beach studs and wants to learn how to surf. She's also got multiple personalities. Sexy Nicholas Brendan (TV's Buffy), hunky Thomas Gibson, gorgeous Matt Keeslar (Scream 3), Nick Cornish (TV'S Buffy), Andrew Levitas (Hellbent) also star. But the most surprising is a young Oscar nominee Amy Adam's (American Hustle). The movie is fun and goofy and weird. It's a wild ultra campy gem.

THE CRAFT (1996)

With the threat of a new version I decided to revisit this childhood classic of mine which actually inspired me and my friends to try goth for a couple months, or maybe it was just me, lol. Well the movie holds up surprisingly well and some part of that may be due to nostalgia but I really loved it, maybe even more than before. Robin Tunney(End of Days) stars as Sara the new girl at school who falls into a group of outcast witches after being burned by the popular kids. Once she joins the coven the stars align and they begin to experience some real power. The only problem is the maniacal and charasmatic leader Nancy played by a feisty Fairuiza Balk (Island of Dr. Moreau) gets power hungry and takes her vengeance to another level. Rachael True (Half Baked) and the always awesome Neve Campbell star as the other two members battling their own problems and insecurities. What makes the film work so well is the sisterhood and sometimes twisted friendship of these girls. They feel genuine and their stories are relatable  as they deal with every day problems ranging from rumors to racism, abuse and body issues. The witchcraft is an added bonus and unlike most films of it's kind it delivers on that aspect including a slightly short but effective finale. Christine Taylor (Brady Bunch), Skeet Ulrich (Scream) and Breckin Meyer (Clueless) also star. The film is confidently directed by Andrew Fleming of one of my favorite 80s flicks Bad Dreams with a screenplay by Peter Filardi of Flatliners. It also features an amazing soundtrack with songs by Our Lady Peace, Letters to Cleo, Love spit love and more. I'm sure who's ever reading this has a love for this film as I do, so maybe it's time for a revisit.

Budget: $15M
