BOYS SHORTS 1

Count on a mixed bag of old faves and new surprises. We've got three new adventures of Lego lovers Rick and Steve: The Happiest Gay Couple in All the World, along with the original episode. In Caught, a photog falls for a cutie who's already attached. A teen-age boy kisses his friend and pays for it with his life in the Aussie short The Burning Boy. Crush explores a young girl's infatuation with her first gay boy. And finally, The Rape of Ganymede offers a campy cartoon spin on Greek mythology. 95 min.
