Christian Maelen

Christian Maelen served as both star and director in this offbeat independent crime drama. Will Bentley (Maelen) leads a charmed life -- he has inherited a fortune from his parents, he has a beautiful girlfriend, Michelle (Candice Coke), and his career as an artist is starting to take off. But Will also has a serious drug problem that causes all of his luck to run out one evening; after getting high at a party, Will was with a close friend when he was shot on the street. Now that Will's head has cleared, he remembers almost nothing about the evening, but it turns out his pal owed plenty of money to some powerful people, and between the police and the mob, Will finds himself dragged into a labyrinth of danger. Remedy co-stars Frank Vincent, Vincent Pastore, Rick Aiello, and former Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley, who also contributes to the soundtrack. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

A group of old college friends work through their long-standing sexual tensions when they reunite for a wedding in this comedy-drama. Bob (Alexis Arquette), a student at George Washington University, has a mad crush on his buff, beautiful roommate, Brendan (Christian Maelen). Brendan senses the attraction, but rejects Bob violently during a play wrestling match that goes a little too far. A few years later, the young men's mutual friends -- Matt (Jamie Harrold) and Carol (Lauren Velez) -- decide to tie the knot, and the old gang reassembles. TV writer Bob brings along his conceited soap-star boyfriend, Sterling (Tuc Watkins). Brendan comes dateless, but old flame Sarah (Marianne Hagan) -- now a conservative senator's aide -- puts the moves on him. Meanwhile, their friend Eric (Guillermo Diaz) vacillates between hooking up with long-lost lady friend Beth (Maddie Corman) or with the nubile sister of the bride. During the wedding reception, Brendan corners Bob and confesses that he, too, is now gay -- and that he's in love with Bob. This doesn't sit well with the newly self-sufficient Bob, who's finally found a backbone and doesn't want to relive painful college memories. But with stick-in-the-mud Sterling around to remind him that his new life isn't exactly perfect, Bob soon finds himself alone in a hotel room with the object of his youthful affection. The debut feature from writer/director Brian Sloan, I Think I Do was produced by Lane Janger, a fellow participant in the Boys Life anthology series. Janger would go on to cast Guillermo Diaz in his own debut feature, Just One Time. Actress/singer Marni Nixon has a cameo as Carol's wise old Aunt Alice -- her first screen role since appearing in 1965's The Sound of Music. ~ Brian J. Dillard, All Movie Guide
