Troy

On August 18, Troy, Wolfgang Petersen’s epic action blockbuster set against the legendary Trojan War, arrives on 4K UHD just in time for the theatrical debut of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey.

"The Goat"

Featuring Oscar winner Mira Sorvino, John Savage, and TikTok phenomenon Jessica Hosam, who has more than 3 million followers, The Goat arrives on VOD platforms and home entertainment DVD on June 23, 2026, through Cleopatra Entertainment, which has acquired North American rights to the Egyptian, French, and Italian co-produced adventure thriller.

 
Directed by Paris-based Italian filmmaker Ilaria Borelli, the Arabic-language feature follows Hadiya, a 12-year-old girl forced into marriage, who becomes the target of a Western corporation seeking control of the only water source in her village. Determined to save her community, she sets out on a harrowing journey across the desert to find her father, accompanied only by Sparrow, the family goat who keeps her alive through seven brutal days of survival.
 
John Savage plays the CEO of a U.S. multi-national corporation aiming to seize the village’s spring for a luxury bottled water venture, while Mira Sorvino plays the company’s engineer, and Egyptian star Amr Saad portrays Hadiya’s father. The film explores resilience, exploitation, and the fight for autonomy in the face of overwhelming power.
 
The Goat previously launched at the El Gouna Film Festival and went on to screen as the closing film at the Rome Film Festival. The film has also collected multiple honors on the international festival circuit.
 
“With The Goat, I wanted to challenge so-called ‘civilized’ Western societies, and all of us within them, to confront our role in the exploitation of natural resources in more vulnerable regions,” Borelli said in a statement to Variety. “At the same time, the film sheds light on deeply rooted practices that continue to devastate young women and girls, from forced marriage and abduction to sexual violence and life-threatening childbirth conditions.”
 
Borelli studied at NYU and previously directed the comedy Our Italian Husband, starring Pierfrancesco Favino and Brooke Shields, as well as the drama The Girl From the Brothel, about a French woman who risks her life to rescue three young girls from a Cambodian brothel. Her latest feature continues that focus on stories of survival, injustice, and female endurance under extreme conditions.

Remington Party

Winona Ryder

"I brought you to a Remington party and what's my thanks? It's on a hallway carpet. I got paid in puke." - Heather Chandler, Heathers

While surfing the WWW I came across this fun find, a polaroid image BHS from one of my favorite movies: Heathers

I saw it in Los Angeles when it hit theaters in 1988. So I was ahead of the curve of the masses that would come to love and appreciate it over time.

Thus I gave it a watch again recently and it still holds up. The satire and dark humor are as razor sharp now as they were then.

Not to mention the terrific cast lead by Winona Ryder.

If you have yet to see it, get it!

12 Angry Men

"If you think great movies require spectacular scenery, nonlinear storytelling, or big action sequences, think again. For this week’s blistering cinematic masterpiece proves the opposite. A courtroom drama that doesn’t take place in a courtroom, “12 Angry Men” is set almost entirely in a single room unfolding in real time, forgoing spectacle in favor of relentless, start to finish edge-of-your-seat tension."

"Another Gay Sequel"

Breaking Glass Pictures proudly announces the re-release of the cult-favorite LGBTQ+ comedy Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild!, arriving March 3, 2026. Originally released in 2008, the outrageous and unapologetically queer sequel has secured its place in pop culture thanks to its fearless humor, stacked guest appearances, and vivid time-capsule snapshot of late-2000s gay nightlife, celebrity, and sex-positive storytelling.

“The gay community has evolved so much over the past twenty years,” says Rich Wolf of Breaking Glass Pictures, an executive producer on the film. “Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild! is a joyful reminder of a pre-Grindr, pre-influencer era—when a wild, party-fueled week at the beach was all about freedom, friendship, and the thrill of letting loose, and what happened there really did stay there.”

Written and directed by Todd Stephens and a follow-up to his 2006 film Another Gay MovieAnother Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild! reunites fan-favorite characters Andy, Nico, Jarod, and Griff, trading collegiate chaos for a sun-soaked Spring Break in Fort Lauderdale. What begins as a carefree vacation quickly spirals into a no-holds-barred competition dubbed “Gays Gone Wild!,” where the rules are simple: hook up with as many guys as possible over the course of Spring Break. The winner earns the coveted and completely ridiculous distinction of “Miss Gay Gone Wild.”

True to its title, Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild! doubles down on camp, comedy, and chaos. Andy (played by Jake Mosser), no longer the awkward underdog, finds himself effortlessly attracting attention, but is thrown off course when he unexpectedly falls for Luis (Euriamis Losada), a charming and handsome virgin who challenges Andy’s assumptions about love, intimacy, and emotional connection. Meanwhile, Nico’s (Jonah Blechman, who shared an on-screen kiss with Leonardo DiCaprio in This Boy’s Life) confidence is shaken when he struggles to attract anyone at all, escaping instead into an ongoing fantasy involving a shirtless merman played by adult film icon Brent Corrigan.

 

Jarod (Jimmy Clabots) and Griff (Aaron Michael Davies) face a different dilemma: now a committed couple, they must decide whether entering the contest together is worth the potential strain on their relationship. Adding to the madness is a hyper-competitive trio all named Jasper (played by Will Wikle, Brand Lim, and Isaac Webster) who will stop at nothing to rig the contest in their favor.

 

The film is also remembered for its over-the-top celebrity cameos, many of which feel even more iconic in retrospect. Another Gay Sequel features appearances by RuPaul, Scott Thompson (Kids in the Hall), RuPaul’s Drag Race star Willam Belli, and adult entertainment legends Michael Lucas and the late Colton Ford. A particularly notorious subplot involves gossip blogger Perez Hilton, who appears as himself in a surreal storyline that sees him suffer a head injury, transform into a fire-and-brimstone religious zealot bent on suppressing gay debauchery, and then, after another blow to the head, snap right back to form.

 

Upon its original release, Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild! found an enthusiastic audience that embraced its raunchy humor, unapologetic queerness, and refusal to sanitize gay sexuality for mainstream comfort. Over the years, the film has gained cult status, celebrated for capturing a specific moment in LGBTQ+ media when camp, controversy, and sex positivity collided without apology.
 
The 2026 re-release invites longtime fans to revisit the film and introduces a new generation to a boldly irreverent comedy that helped push queer cinema further into the mainstream by being loud, messy, and proudly itself.

 

Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild! will be available on all major streaming platforms on March 3.
