In San Francisco, same-sex parenting is commonplace, and children of gays and lesbians have long since ceased to be isolated cases. From this point of view, this part of California is decades ahead of Europe. Lesbian mothers, pioneers of homoparenting, constitute the great majority of homosexual parents. Who are their children? How did they grow up? Does one feel like a child or a teenager like the others when one grows up in a family and social environment that is predominantly homosexual? The film gives a voice to young adults raised by homosexuals, who tell their stories with candor and humor.
If I had truly wished to witness "Guardians of the Galaxy", I would have stayed home to do so. Instead, I went to the IMAX and took in this newest incarnation of one of the most recognized and adapted superheroes in the DC Universe. **Sigh** Let me be clear here. I am NOT saying this is an AWFUL film.

The new biopic 'Elvis' highlights the beginning and end of the career of this rock and roll legend. The audience is taken on this journey knowing the tragic ending but not so much about what led him there. A large topic of discussion is the influences on Elvis that made him who he was as a singer, musician, and performer, which were blues, gospel, and country. Many of the songs that rose him to fame were songs by Black artists he heard growing up in primarily Black settings.
Ditch the lube and get to the point in the raw, honest, cheeky dramedy written and directed by Mark Schwab.
Strangers in a crowd, exchanging glances, looking away, continually managing to run into each other then part ways, end up at the same diner, find they've rented the exact same vehicles, and are then made to travel together to learn once more whether they can both find genuine adoration and companionship again. This really does, in so many words, sum up the foundational gist of of this new feature film from writer Seth Reiss ("The Menu") and director Kogonada ("The Acolyte", "After Yang"). Yet, it's all only the set-up for the REAL wonder of everything that happens before, during, and in the aftermath of a magical, meaningful journey.
An attempt to capture nostalgia that unfortunately just doesn’t work
