Wrangler:
Anatomy of an Icon
(Jeffrey Schwarz, USA, 2008, 82 min)
Before Jeff Stryker and Michael Lucas,
Jack Wrangler was the number
one name in gay porn and his wild, unpredictable
career and life is recounted in this can’t-miss
documentary. With piercing blue eyes, unruly
blond hair, a chiseled physique and cocky
swagger, Jack Wrangler was the king of ‘70s
gay porn. Forging a gay sexual revolution,
he wasn’t the typical object of homoerotic
desire but an intelligent, full-bodied, self-confident
stud. Exulted for his 80-plus adult films,
the openly gay superstar even conquered the
straight adult world and legitimate theater.
And off-screen his life
was equally sensational – at 33 he married
55-year-old songstress Margaret
Whiting. Packed with rare footage,
celebrity interviews from fans from Chi
Chi La Rue to Marc
Shaiman to Bruce
Vilanch, and witty commentary
by Wrangler himself, this is an unfiltered
portrait of an iconoclast who broke all the
rules. Watch

Sex
Positive (Daryl Wein, USA,
2008, 76 min)
Sex Positive explores the life of Richard
Berkowitz, a revolutionary gay
S&M hustler turned AIDS activist in the
1980s, whose incomparable contribution to
the invention of safe sex has never been aptly
credited. Berkowitz emerged from the epicenter
of the epidemic demanding a solution to the
problem long before those both within and
outside of the gay community would take heed.
However, it was not Berkowitz's voice alone
that sparked contention. Dr. Joseph
Sonnabend, a controversial virologist
and AIDS doctor, postulated that AIDS was
more complicated than just a new virus. With
Sonnabend's theory in tow, Berkowitz fought,
alongside beloved activist and musician Michael
Callen, for safer sex practices
with out giving up on sex altogether. Sex
Positive explores the explicit bravery of
this unrecognized triumvirate, and their dire
quest to save lives in the midst of unwavering
dissent. Through the eyes of Mr. Berkowitz,
we are made witness to a graphic testimony
of sex, death, and betrayal, placing the invention
of safe sex in a fresh and compelling context.
