Qui a peur du grand méchant loup? Enquête sur les désirs politiquement incorrects (2006)

Roughly translated as "Who's afraid of the big bad wolf?  Survey of politically incorrect desires".  Apparently the first documentary directed by the French porn star Ovidie.

from IMDb:

Terrible title for a very good, modest and charming movie. Great cast, good story, good dialogue. The beginning is a bit slow but it grows on you. Both funny and moving. I cried a little at the end. But it's not a drama. It's just about love and real life, complicated, messy and rewarding. It's a 'feel good' movie but it's not with the usual Hollywood crap. I recommend it without any restriction, except to those who liked Richard Gere in "Autumn in New York". If you liked that, the "Goat/Fish" is not for you. We are talking about cinema here.

I think the Yak is the critter in Yik Yak.  Whatever happened to Brent Huff, anyway?

Yes, Yak, that's what I was thinking. As for Brent Huff, I dunno. Who is he, anyway? LOL

Here's Brent Huff in your "shirtless male bondage" movie (that's the IMDb keyword LOL), Leslie:
I'm guessing his career went downhill from there.
BTW, "Yik-Yak" appears to be a place, according to user comments.

A Turkish movie.



from IMDb:


A commando of Turkish intelligence agents enter Irak to avenge a real life episode in the war where Turkish soldiers were arrested and blindfolded by American troops. A very good action film, condemned unseen by many in the west, it represents at least a change of pace by showing the Muslims as the good guys and the Americans as the bad guys. The movie is actually very strongly against terrorism (the Sheikh in the movie criticizes the terrorists who wants to behead an American journalist, and prevents this from happening) but is also against American ignorant meddling in the Middle East. Most of all, though, Valley of the Wolves is a terrific action movie. And Billy Zane - who has apologized to the American press for appearing in this film - has actually one of the best performances in his career as a real meanie.

Observant game players might recall that Billy Zane was a real meanie in Titanic, too.
