Cinemas in Fort Lauderdale. A film by André Téchiné. Manu arrives in
Paris,
where he shares a cheap hotel room with his sister Julie. He strikes up a
joyous, chaste friendship with Adrien, a wealthy doctor in his early fifties who
opens Manu's eyes to a different way of life. On a trip out on a speedboat,
Adrien introduces Manu to Sarah and Mehdi, a young couple who have just had
their first child. An unplanned love affair and the onset of the AIDS epidemic -
seen by the media and in the collective imagination as a shameful, modern-day
plague - upset the ordered tranquility of their individual destinies. Each of
them becomes a protagonist in - and witness to - a contemporary tragedy, where
those who don't die may emerge stronger, but not undamaged. For more information

Clip Film Series
presents: The Curiosity of Chance on January 23, at
7:30p.m. at Muvico Baywalk, St. Pete. Tickets, $9.00 Student, $7.00 Order
Tickets at
cliptampabay.com.
Writer/Director Russell P. Marleau gives the John Hughes-styled high
school comedy a queer twist in this touching coming-of-age tale. It's the
1980's, when new wave angst and gender-bending fashion were all the rage. The
new kid at school Chance Marquis (Tad Hilgenbrinck of American Pie Presents:
Band Camp), however, is out. And his being a gay, somewhat awkward teenager
makes him the target of the school bully. To deal with this dilemma, Chance
turns to the opposite ends of the high school spectrum for help. On one end is
the flamboyant drag queen and at the other, the varsity jock, Levi Sparks (Brett
Chukerman of Eating Out 2) on whom Chance has a bit of a crush. Chockfull of the
comic conventions of the high school genre - the idiot faculty, the good-hearted
but delusional parents, the fairy tale reversal of popularity - The Curiosity of
Chance is a frothy bit of nostalgic filmmaking. But like with the best of John
Hughes, knowing the genre doesn't mean its story won't also touch your heart.

Kiki & Herb Live
at the Knitting Factory
Subversive stars
KIKI & HERB (Justin Bond and Kenny Mellman, respectively) announce the
release of their first-ever concert DVD, KIKI & HERB Live at the Knitting
Factory. Hot off the heels of sold-out holiday concerts at Carnegie Hall in
New York City
and Sheppard’s Bush in the UK,
the Tony®-nominated duo’s much anticipated full length performance DVD will
include all the favorites from their incendiary Year of Magical Drinking Tour
and a special feature of rarely seen footage from 10+ riotous years together.
For those not yet initiated into KIKI & HERB’ s passionate and growing fan base,
KIKI & HERB Live at the Knitting Factory serves as a great introduction. Of
their 2007 Broadway show Kiki & Herb: Alive on Broadway, Ben Brantley of
The New York Times wrote, “mind-popping, transcendent, and wondrous,
of devastating depth and substance.” Audience and critics alike praise Kiki
& Herb’s unique brand of performance, which serves up wild renditions of classic
pop songs, original satirical numbers, and blazing socio-political monologues.
Kiki & Herb have earned significant critical acclaim over the years. The New
York Post exclaimed, “the music is fantastic – reinventions of rock, pop,
hip-hop and hiccup styles all fused together – a stream of musical consciousness”
and Variety commented, “Surreal artiness. It’s cabaret for punk
rockers.” Since 1992, Justin Bond and Kenny Mellman have
graced stages around the world as the infamous Kiki & Herb. Their credits
include the unprecedented sold-out concert Kiki & Herb Will Die For You at
Carnegie Hall (2004), followed by a two-year worldwide tour headlining shows and
also sharing the bill with the Grammy®nominated Scissor Sisters on a smash
European tour. They have appeared at such prestigious venues as The Royal
Albert Hall and the Sydney Opera House. The DVD is being released
exclusively on the Alive Mind label and can be purchased online via
ww.kikiandherb.com for $24.98 plus shipping and handling. KIKI & HERB Live at
the Knitting Factory is directed by Gerard Schmidt and executive produced
by Stephen Hendel. Alive Mind is a new distribution label that releases
specialty documentary programming in the areas of enlightened consciousness,
secular spirituality, cultural change, and the frontiers of science. Its goal is
to provide intellectually provocative work from the world’s leading filmmakers –
media content that delivers the “aha” response of a transformative experience.
Upcoming releases from Alive Mind include the classic trilogy “Women &
Spirituality” and the provocative series “The Atheism Tapes.”

on Sunday, February 3. The game is scheduled to air live from the
University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, AZ; kickoff is at 6:18 PM. The
Super Bowl is America's

the NFC champs, in the most anticipated and highest-rated event of the year.
This year’s week-long festivities will be jam-packed with celebrity sightings,
concerts, analyst’s predictions and innovative, funny and crowd-pleasing TV
commercials. Fans should come to Sidelines early to reserve their spot at what
will most assuredly be the place to be in Wilton Manors on Football Sunday.

Instinct Features 1st Openly-Gay Chippendales Performer
on its February Swimsuit Issue Cover
Instinct travels to
Sin City for its February swimsuit issue cover story on aerialist Brandon
Pereyda, the first openly-gay performer in the world famous Chippendales
troupe. Instinct editor Mike Wood spent a weekend following
23-year-old Pereyda around Vegas to find out what it's like to be the lone out
member of the shirtless, bow-tie-wearing institution - and how he feels about
performing in front of countless screaming women each night! "I guess it is
monumental for this company," Pereyda notes. "Chippendales guys are often
pegged as being gay. And they're not. And I think this will clear the slate."
He continues, "They're all straight, but we would do anything for each other
and that's what I really love about working here. They don't view my be gay as a
negative thing at all." Born and raised in Las Vegas, Brandon didn't have an
easy time being gay and growing up with a devout Jehovah's Witness for a father.
He explains how, at age 16, he clashed with his father over religion. "The
thing with the church and trying to impress my father was I was trying to do
what was right for him," Pereyda recalls. "I thought it was something in
me that was evil. I tried to suppress and change it. And at the age of 16, it
got to the point where I finally said, 'I am my own person. I am the way I am
because God made me the way I am.'" Instinct's February issue also boasts 14
pages of knockout swimsuit models, plus exclusive interviews with Broadway
legends Idina Menzel and Loretta Devine.
