The curated All Tomorrow's Parties is an annual gathering of the coolest bands your mom has never heard of, and this new documentary of the same name—co-directed by gay filmmaker Jonathan Caouette (Tarnation)— features a staggering lineup, including The Gossip, Nick Cave, Iggy Pop, Grizzly Bear (the gay-inclusive band is pictured above), Sonic Youth, Portishead, Daniel Johnston, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Belle and Sebastian, Patti Smith, The Mars Volta and many more.

Queer-inclusive British band Placebo tells their story in the new documentary The Sun Also Rises, which weaves together news reports, exclusive interviews, performance footage and other archival footage of the glam pansexual trio.

New TV on DVD releases this week

23 November 2009 3:00 PM, PST | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »

Here are the new TV DVDs, in stores tomorrow.

Finally, season 4 of Alfred Hitchcock Presents is on DVD. I say finally because this season contains one of my favorite episodes of any TV series ever, "Man with a Problem," with Elizabeth Montgomery, Gary Merrill, and Peter Mark Richman. It has a great twist ending (you can watch it here). I have to start buying this show on DVD.

The Golden Age of Television DVD is a Criterion Collection set and includes some great live TV episodes, including "Marty," "Days of Wine and Roses," "The Comedian," "Requiem for a Heavyweight," "No Time For Sergeants," "A Wind from the South," and "Bang The Drum Slowly." Also comes with extensive commentaries and interviews and a booklet.

DVD Playhouse—November 2009

By

Allen Gardner

Watchmen—The Ultimate Cut (Warner Bros.) Director Zack Snyder’s film of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ landmark graphic novel is as worthy an adaptation of a great book that has ever been filmed. In an alternative version of the year 1985, Richard Nixon is serving his third term as President and super heroes have been outlawed by a congressional act, in spite of the fact that two of the most high-profile “masks,” Dr. Manhattan (Billy Cruddup) and The Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) helped the U.S. win the Vietnam War. When The Comedian is found murdered, many former heroes become concerned that a conspiracy is afoot to assassinate retired costumed crime fighters. Former masks Nite Owl (Patrick Wilson), Silk Spectre (Malin Akerman) and still-operating Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley, in an Oscar-worthy turn) launch an investigation of their own, all while the Pentagon’s “Doomsday »

Andy Griffith's "Oh" Face in 'Play the Game'

28 August 2009 5:03 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

With Betty White in The Proposal, there's been a lot of chatter about snarky old ladies. But they're not the only ones who get a little bit of modern fun. Way back in 2007, we learned that Andy Griffith -- The Andy Griffith -- was signing up for a father-and-son-getting-women comedy called Play the Game. Sounds weird enough to be a hoot, right? It's not every day an 81-year-old gets to star in a romcom. But it's a lot more than just romance. A lot. Maybe this will give you a hint, an excerpt from Roger Ebert's review of the film: "I've admired Griffith ever since No Time for Sergeants (1958), but the one thing I must admit I've never wanted to do was regard his face while he's enjoying oral sex from Seinfeld's mom."

Yes, folks -- Griffith gets a Viagra-aided oral sex scene. But we can't just hear about that with eye-scalded words. »
