One sister supporting the other Proposition 8 may have the nation abuzz, but the Houston area has remained quiet when it comes to how the gay marriage ban will affect local Houstonians.

Remember career day in elementary school? You and your fellow classmates may have dressed up as Doctors, Lawyers, Teachers, Nurses, and I even remember one boy who dressed up as a Preacher. No one would think that these promising careers would put you at risk to catching a disease like HIV and/or AIDS. Well, some people have a different idea of a career and some have chosen to become actors in adult films. They say do what you love and the money will come, well these actors are doing exactly what they love for a living,... [Read the full story]

So, a couple of weeks ago I went to the Angelika Theater to see Skills Like This with the girls from the BLVD. It was a pleasant surprise to see an Indy film and not have my movie going experience oppressed with sub titles and hidden meanings. In fact, the movie made the premise and the resolution very clear.

His performance is as crafty as it ...
