I may not be an angel myself, but I can certainly recognize one when I see it. Last night, Angel Benton was the host of the RentBoy.com sponsored release party for the soon to be debuting movie Boy Culture. There’s been a great deal of buzz going around about this movie. Not only has it won over half a dozen film festival awards including the Best of the Fest award at the London International Gay & Lesbian Film Festival, but it’s received critical acclaim from many sectors of the gay oriented entertainment world:"Engaging, deliciously directed and, most winningly, downright sexy!" – Mark
James, Gay.com
"Q. Allan Brocka’s sexy, smart and deliciously funny
follow-up to Eating Out, introduces us to a uniquely queer family." – David
Courier, Outfest, LA
Every movie would be so lucky to have Brandon Baker of RentBoy.com organizing their release party. Not only was Micky’s of West Hollywood packed, but the event went off without a single hitch. Enticing previews were playing at every corner f the bar while large flyers and post cards with the movie cover lined the walls and tables while Ginch Gonch underwear models danced around the bar featuring the specially made Boy Culture Ginch Gonch briefs thrown out into the crowd by none other than the two most popular Ginch Gonch models: Benjamin Bradley and Ethan Reynolds of ProjectBE.
Not only were Ben and Ethan wearing the limited edition Boy Culture Ginch Gonch briefs, they spent time talking to almost everyone at the party while walking around in just those briefs, a pair of sox and shoes. I have to say that not only did they look magnificent as always, but they smelled deliciously like cotton candy. My stomach was actually growling. They will actually be in Los Angeles making appearances until Friday. Thursday night, they will be at Bed Behavior (6507 Hollywood Blvd., 90028) at 6:30 PM; at 8:00 PM that same day, they will be at The Pleasure Chest (7733 Santa Monica Blvd., 90046); and on Friday at 6:00 PM, they will be appearing at Brick and Mortar (8350 Santa Monica Blvd., 90046).
Anyway, at the release party, on stage was Angel Benton (of AngelBenton.com), a rising virgin angel who has yet to fall. Adorned in a crisp clean red dress shirt enticingly buttoned up only half way while the color contrasted perfectly with his golden hair, one of his trademark symbols, he introduced one of the three main actors in the Boy Culture film, Jonathan Trent who stars as Joey in the film. He is a fast rising star who has acted in other recent movies including Smile and Love is the Drug. Not only is he cute and boyish, but you actually get to see some very cute parts of him within the movie, from what I understand. While he was on stage being interviewed by Angel, he was passing out other free giveaways to the crowd including copies of TLA Releasing’s The Longing, a film by Jürgen Brüning, coupons to GayHotMovies.com and a few select free movie passes to go see Boy Culture on the day of its premiere in West Hollywood at the Laemmle Sunset 5 theatre.I’m sure you actually want to know a little bit about this film before you go see it. The script was adapted from Matthew Rattenmund’s novel of the same name. It is the story of “X” (Derek Magyar), a high end escort, and his two roommates Andrew (Darryl Stephens) and Joey (Jonathan Trent), who together have created a family for the twenty-first century. After ten years of sex-for-pay, “X” gets romantically entangled with his two hot roommates and a reclusive elderly client, Gregory. But before Gregory will agree to sex, he tells an unsetting love story spanning fifty years and dares “X” to try something he hasn't felt for years: emotion. Boy Culture takes on issues of sexual mores and emotional risk with a witty and incisive voice, revealing the leap of faith that love demands.
