If some of the LGBT films of this summer have been a little too limited in their theatrical releases, many are coming to DVD within the next three months. The terrific comedy "The Mostly Unfabulous Social Life of Ethan Green" (above) will go on sale on Oct. 10. If you haven't been able to catch "Ethan" in theaters, you will want to get the DVD. It is one of the superior gay comedies I've seen in recent years. When I caught it at the Regent on LaBrea in June, the house was fairly full for a Saturday afternoon and the audience was genuinely laughing. Look for Meredeth Baxter in a really wacky and hilarious role playing the mother of the title character. She does things and says things she NEVER would have said to Alex P. Keaton on "Family Ties."

"Ethan" will be followed three weeks later (Oct. 31) by the touching drama "Vacationland," which I fell in love with at Outfest and I hope will be more widely seen because it really moved me and featured good actors. Then just a week later comes "Poster Boy," (below) the political drama starring Matt Newton that is finally seeing the inside of theaters after waiting two long years for distribution.

"Queer as Folk" alum Peter Paige wrote and directed the sweet but odd drama "Say Uncle" that screened at Outfest in 2005 and is currently in theatrical release in selected theaters. The film shows how good intentions can be misunderstood and how neighborhood hysteria can really catch fire. "Uncle" goes on sale Sept. 5. That same day, a wonderful German-language film, "Summer Storm" goes on sale. "Summer" was one of the showcase screenings of Outfest 2005 and got a very positive reaction. It is beautifully filmed and well-acted, a coming out story taking place on a beautiful lake.

Other intriguing titles coming along are "Cold Shower" (Aug. 31) and "The Lady in Question is Charles Busch" (Sept. 26).
