"Chicago Cubs Legends Great Games Collector's Edition" (A&E Home Video)—Just in time for Chicago Free Press' annual Out at the Ballgame event at Wrigley Field, the eight-DVD set "Chicago Cubs Legends Great Games Collector's Edition" has arrived. Eight complete and unedited games, played between June 1984 and June 2005, have been preserved for posterity in this box set for the sporty gays among us. Eight players—Ryne Sandberg, Rick Sutcliffe, Andre Dawson, Mark Grace, Kerry Wood, Sammy Sosa, Greg Maddux and Derrek Lee—who have achieved icon status in the world of Major League Baseball and among Chicago Cubs fans are celebrated in this set. Among the nearly 21 hours of footage, you will find special features such as a rare Ernie Banks post-game interview, the Billy Williams Day Speech to Wrigley Field fans, the Cubs clinching the 2003 National League Central Division Title, and so much more.

"Wild Tigers I Have Known" (Genius Entertainment)—With a paucity of dialogue, writer/director Cam Archer's "Wild Tigers I Have Known" relies instead on unusual lighting and camera effects to impart its story of adolescent isolation and longing. Socially awkward Logan (Malcolm Stumpf) spends his days playing out a series of extended daydreams, some of which are erotic in nature. Not as desperate as equally unpopular Joey (Max Paradise), who has been driven to making a list of ways to be cool, Logan somehow befriends the desirable Rodeo (Patrick White). As their relationship develops (the scene in the photo booth is priceless), so does Logan's physical attraction to his straight buddy. When Logan creates "Leah," an alter ego, his sexuality and gender issues create a potentially explosive situation. Emily Jane White's music video "Wild Tigers I Have Known" is included as a DVD extra.

"Race You to the Bottom" (here! Films)—Gay travel writer Nathan (Cole Williams) and straight gal pal Maggie (Amber Benson) leave behind their boyfriends Nicholas (Jeremy Lelliott) and Milo (Justin Zachary) for a trip to Napa to visit wineries and a spa for a story. Little do Milo and Nicholas know, but Nathan and Maggie have been carrying on a sexual relationship for about six months. Maggie's friend Carla (Danielle Harris) knows, but Maggie's not too fond of her because Carla stole hot Joe (Justin Hartley) from her. But that's where having a gay boyfriend helps, as Nathan exacts revenge by blowing Joe in the barn while Maggie and Carla are chopping vegetables in the kitchen. Ultimately, Nathan and Maggie's first trip together is a mixed bag. They have sex, Maggie admits to having been with a woman when she was in college, they commiserate over men and they drink too much wine. But even without all the alcohol in their systems, trouble brews. Maggie is clearly falling in love with Nathan. In spite of having his own "Oscar Wilde ways," Nathan is blatantly homophobic, as well as immature, self-absorbed and unkind. It's only a matter of time before the whole thing backfires and they split up, which leads them to tell their respective boyfriends about the affair, getting them both what they deserve. Not an especially flattering portrait of bisexuality and far less titillating than it could have been, this is a race no one wins. DVD special features include commentary, as well as a short film by director Russell Brown.
