Not sure how we missed this, but Miramax and Wild About Movies are presenting a free screening of SXSW 07 favorite Eagle Vs. Shark tonight at the Regal Arbor. Though we haven't had the opportunity to see it yet, the New Zealand comedy got a lot of positive buzz during South By--and we loved the folks dressed in eagle and shark costumes walking around promoting it. Plus, it stars Flight of the Conchords member Jemaine......

If your first thought upon hearing of the new movie I'm Reed Fish is "Who's Reed Fish?" you're certainly not alone. Who is Reed Fish? Is that even a real name? How could his (her?) parents be so cruel/awesome? Why don't more people have animal last names (we want to meet a Mr. Platypus)? Shouldn't Reed Fish & Co. be the name of a hedge fund company? And are there real live "reed fish"? (Yes,......

The Austin Gay and Lesbian International Film Festival (aGLIFF) is in dire need of a select few individuals to sit in the projector booths and watch the films while they screen in the theater. As far as we can tell, it's a simple enough gig: they'll provide you with a walkie talkie, and if a technical problem should arise, you merely need to dispatch someone to come fix it. Details: Shifts are 4-6 hours......

The 19th annual Austin Gay and Lesbian International Film Festival (aGLIFF) kicks off in exactly one week, and things are looking better than ever for the oldest and largest GLBT film fest in the Southwest.

This year, aGLIFF will screen an astounding 150 films from over 20 countries, with well over 10,000 attendees in total. Entitled "Say What?",......

aGLIFF, or the Austin Gay and Lesbian International Film Festival, tonight hosts the latest in its 2006 Filmmaker Series, which presents works by up-and-coming queer filmmakers and donates any proceeds from ticket sales to support their future projects. Austin-based auteur Alpha's first effort, a documentary short piece entitled What Can 2 Girls Do Together?, debunked common misconceptions that straight males hold about lesbians and earned her a reputation as a guerrilla filmmaker. Since then, she's......

Your most important feature may not be your lips, but this summer you can at least act like they are. Skin with even the smallest hint of sun can really radiate, which can often create the illusion of being pale-lipped. Don't let your pout lose its radiance, but don't wear so much lipstick that you look like a hussie, either. Just try to find the balance between the age-old conflict of the extremes: Red vs.......

Because we love our readers, we'll let you know about an upcoming advance screening of Brokeback Mountain (although if you're an AFS member, you already know about it). Based on Annie Proulx's short story, Brokeback Mountain tells the story of two cowboys (Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal) who hold a slowburning torch for each other throughout the years. Screenwriters Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana will be in attendance at this advance screening in our......
