Killer Drag Queens on Dope (2003)
Can anyone say "home movie"?
Since no one has commented on this yet, I thought I would save someone the time and trouble and try to steer away innocent bystanders. "Please look-away, I'm hideous!"
It really does look and feel like a home movie, probably all done with a hand-held camera, awful lighting, bare sets that echo with each footstep, and erratic editing. I've done better with iMovie.
It really quite useless to go much further in the plot than to say that Ginger (Alexis Arquette) and Coco (Omar Alexis) are hired drag queen assassins... oh yeah... and they are on dope. There you go... you've watched the movie.
Good points... uhmmm... Alexis does look pretty good here and it's only 83 minutes.
Coco... please check out Dermablend girl... you'll thank me in the morning!
Dream Boys Revue (1985)
Entertaining and Unique
The very start of film reveals that this is not the taping of an "ordinary" beauty pageant, but one in which all 30 gorgeous contestants are professional female impersonators! In fact, several are well-known in their own rights, such as Michael Andrews, Naomi Simms, and Roxanne Russell. Apart from this fact, it does not differ from any other beauty pageant with the evening gown, casual wear, and talent competitions.
The pageant agenda is kept rolling by two surprising celebrities, Ruth Buzzi (Laugh-In) and Lyle Waggoner (Carol Burnett Show). They do a fine job even though Lyle is noticably tongue-tied at times when complimenting the "ladies".
Overall, I found it entertaining and interesting due to the knowledge that the contestants were in fact, men. You will realize how amazing the transformations are when snippets of the male interviews are shown for the 10 finalists... very amazing indeed!
If you like beauty pageants and/or female impersonators, then you will find this worth seeing. I give it a "7" out of "10".
