Cheerleader Queens is a Thai drag sex comedy with the subtlety of the Eurovision Song Contest and the profundity of Porkys.

Four ladyboys, Mod, Som, Kam-pan and Wa-wa, move to Bangkok to attend a Catholic high school – in full drag some of the time! Sport is compulsory, but the boys are kicked off the cheerleading squad by some homophobe bitches. After they save the rugby team from being dispanded by miraculously scoring some tries, they form their own cheerleading squad, and train for the State finals.

The film gets bogged down at this point, and could do with more training montages. Cheerleader Queens also suffers from an overuse of crying, cliché, fainting (whenever Mod sees his cute crush, the aptly-named Pang, for example), accidents (including temporary blindness) and limp-wristed 'running like a girl'.

In addition, any potentially serious moments are badly handled – when Som has a drug problem, for example, his friends find an entire bottle of ecstasy tablets in his pocket. And in the cheerleading finals, their arch-rivals outperform our heroes so significantly that the closeness of the competition seems ludicrous.

Don't fret, though, there is some fun to be had. It's great to see so many out, camp queens, who also get to be friends with the rugby team and vanquish potential muggers by satisfying them sexually. These cute boys are great pals and most of the film is high-energy and colourful, with liberal doses of feather boa and eyeshadow.

Spanish film Inacto has an unusual premise: what if luck can be stolen? It then becomes a commodity to trade and be rich in.

Federico (played by Eusebio Poncela) is an earthquake survivor who has the power to rob others of their luck with a touch. He works at an island casino for Holocaust survivor Sam (Max Von Sydow). But when Federico quits, Sam removes his luck.

Years later, the vengeful Federico finds Tomas (Leonardo Sbaraglia), a thief and the sole survivor of a plane crash. He draws Tomas into a strange underworld where status is determined by luck, gambling is the norm and the stakes are high. Tomas is pursued by policewoman Sara (Monica Lopez) who has luck of her own.

This is a fascinating and well-structured film from first-time writer/director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo. The moral ambiguity of the luck-based subculture is disquieting, and gives rise to some powerful scenes, the highlight of which is a race of blindfolded people through a forest.

Goldfish Memory is a multi-layered romantic comedy in the style of Bedrooms and Hallways from Irish writer/director Liz Gill.

When Clara sees her boyfriend Tom kissing Isolde, it sets off a chain of romance and heartbreak that goes full circle. Clara pursues and dumps TV journalist Angie who then falls for horticulturist Kate via a one-night stand with gay bike courier pal Red. Meanwhile philanderer Tom has a rocky road to love, while Isolde decides to explore her options.

Gay, lesbian, straight, bisexual, it seems that when it comes to love, some of these characters suffer from a three-second Goldfish Memory. While some seek commitment, others just can't help themselves.

Goldfish Memory is a well-paced, humorous and lighthearted film that switches between story lines smoothly. Although it's not original enough to become a classic, it's a great date flick, with solid ensemble performances.
