Tuesday, June 26, 2007 philly is nextRuPaul Headlines Philly Gay and Lesbian Film Fest | Permalinkstarrbooty takes san franciscoRuPaul Red Carpet Interview | PermalinkFriday, June 08, 2007 New Ru ReviewYou don't have to be queer to enjoy a good gay romp now and then, and you can test that theory this weekend with the final screenings at NewFest. The LGBT film organizations screens a slew of things you'll probably never see in your Netflix queue (or tell your girlfriend you enjoyed). For a campy, raunchy time, RuPaul returns in Starrbooty as a blaxploitation vixen battling the likes of Candis Cayne and munching on The Lady Bunny's muff. There's something to offend just about everyone, and the flick evokes the fun times of a John Waters film from a few decades ago—except he didn't have porn king Michael Lucas stretching his foreskin before being gunned down by a 7-foot tall drag queen. The cut I saw of the film was still a bit rough around the edges, but rest assured, the diva is back and has no problem going undercover to unravel a sex worker mystery and along the way farting in a man's face, stomping on another's privates and sucking her way to the very end.Jerry Portwood - NY Press | Permalink Friday, June 01, 2007 Review To A KillYesterday I attended a screening of RuPaul's new movie Starrbooty, which makes its debut at NYC's NewFest film festival this Saturday. Produced by RuPaul and directed by Mike Ruiz, Starrbooty follows the title character, the world's leading supermodel and secret agent, as she goes undercover as a Meatpacking District hooker to find her adopted niece Cornisha who has been abducted by evil cosmetics mogul Anika Manners (Candis Cayne) who plans on selling Cornisha's clitoris to the highest bidder. Along the way there is kung-fu action, gun play, dance routines, and lots and lots of raunchy, perverted sex with full-frontal engorged male nudity. Got all that?Starrbooty pays homage to blaxploitation icon Pam Grier, John Waters, and Mommie Dearest with appearances from porn stars Gus Mattox and Micheal Lucas and several notables of NYC's drag scene, such as Lady Bunny, Candis Cayne, and Sweetie. (I particularly enjoyed seeing Micheal Lucas machine-gunned to death while holding his hard cock in his hand. Sweet.) Before the screening, RuPaul cautioned us that the film was still being tweaked before its Saturday debut and that we were the first audience to see Starrbooty. If you go, set your faces on stunned. Mine still is. Reviewed by Joe. My. God. | Permalink 2009 RuCo, Inc.—All Rights Reserved |
