Jason Stuart Movies

A crowd favorite for LGBT crowds everywhere, Jason Stewart makes stand-up history by becoming the very first openly gay male comedian to headline mainstream comedy clubs across the United States. In this release of a performance captured live at the Funny Bone Comedy Club in Columbus, Ohio, the playful jokester cracks up the crowd by injecting a little humor into the ongoing battle against homophobia. An inside look at Stewart's life shows why his sexuality wasn't always something he was able to laugh about, and how his formative years helped him to develop the sense of humor that made him one of the country's top comics. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A simple brotherly joke goes hilariously awry in director Stewart Wade's zany tale of mistaken sexual identity. Todd's brother Barry wants to help his single sibling out by setting him up on a blind date. While all signs lead to a perfect match, it soon becomes obvious that Barry is having a little fun at his brother's expense when the Kelly in question turns out not to be a beautiful woman, but a homosexual male. Upon realizing that they have been duped by Todd's mischievous brother, the unlikely couple soon forms a warm friendship while concocting an elaborate scheme to one-up the unrepentant prankster. When Barry sees Todd and Kelly holding hands soon thereafter, he becomes convinced that his brother is, in fact, gay, and phones the pair's mother to break the news. As Todd's mother begins to see his son's disdain for sports and love of film as clear signs of his homosexuality that she has somehow managed to overlook, she determines to show her son that she will love him no matter what his lifestyle. But Todd's mother isn't the only one who is now convinced that her son is gay, and as suspicions begin to abound in his close-knit social circle, the hapless "homosexual" soon begins to wonder if there isn't some truth to the rumors after all. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

The drama Ghosts Never Sleep stars Tony Goldwyn as a struggling screenwriter who might have finally scored a successful sale with a screenplay that tells a story that might cost him his relationship with both his mother and his wife. The script is strikingly similar to a real tragic event that happened in his family, an event that his mother (Faye Dunaway) wants no one to know about. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

Eric and Phil are an affluent Beverly Hills couple who want to adopt a child, preferably a baby or a toddler. However, they end up with a foul-mouthed 12-year-old and his younger brother. Dumped on Eric and Phil by a caseworker, the kids soon become permanent houseguests. Phil is quickly won over, but Eric proves a harder nut to crack, especially when the kids' mother, an alcoholic prostitute, moves in. Get Your Stuff premiered at the 2000 San Francisco Lesbian & Gay Festival. ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, Rovi

When his beloved refrigerator finally expires, Drew (Drew Carey) tries to win a new one in Winfred-Louder's annual employee olympics. Trouble is, Mimi (Kathy Kinney) has always been able to beat Drew, so he and Nicki (Kate Walsh) have to rely upon Larry's athletically gifted girlfriend Pinky (Ashley Gardner) to achieve victory on their behalf. Alas, DrugCo is currently using Pinky as a guinea pig for an highly unstable "competition" drug which causes her to utterly destroy Drew's chances without even trying. This is the episode with the sublimely surrealistic "refrigerator dance!" ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In this blend of fantasy and romantic comedy, a man isn't sure if he's stuck between past and present or if his imagination is simply working overtime. Edward (Jon Voight) is a prince in Medieval Europe, where his greatest rival is his brother Roni (Armand Assante). Roni wants to declare war on neighboring kingdoms, while Edward believes in keeping the peace, and both are in love with a beautiful gypsy named Dahlin (Eileen Davidson); only the frequent intervention of their father, the King (Wilford Brimley), keeps the two from killing each other. Or at least that's how it seems until Edward wakes up. It seems that his name is really James, he's the host of a talk show in Los Angeles, and he keeps having a recurring dream in which he and his co-workers are characters in a tale of knights in shining armor. Eric, his boss, looks just like the King, and Roni is a dead ringer for Sean, a high-powered businessman who is organizing a hostile takeover of James' company. However, things really start to get interesting for James when he meets Valerie, who is directing a television commercial at James' studio. She bears a striking resemblance to Dahlin the gypsy girl, and James can't help but tell her that she's the girl of his dreams. But are they really dreams, or memories of a past life? Eternity was Jon Voight's first film in three years; he also co-wrote the screenplay with director Steven Paul and Dorothy Koster Paul. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

This provocative drama tells the tale of the relationship between a wealthy, troubled boy and an alcoholic skid row bum with no name ("Emanon" is "no name" in reverse) who turns out to be Christ. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

A cross between a skin flick and a futuristic fantasy, this unfunny parody is set on a remote Pacific Island where the insidious Dr. Sin Do (Angus Scrimm) whose life began long ago under the name of Li Chuk, has made a pact with Satan that gives him power over the weather. Now he is tracking down the lost "Eye of the Avatar," created by the extinct race of Lemurians before their civilization disappeared -- that jewel, when combined with Sin Do's own special jewel, will endow him with indomitable power. Sent to combat the evil "doctor" are some comely female warriors (Melanie Vincz, Raven de la Croix and others) whose bodies get more screen time than the dialogue itself -- an indication of where the main interest lies. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi
