"In the Heights" Review
Lin-Manuel Miranda's Tony-winning musical translates beautifully to the screen.

Fourteen-year-old Jeanne has lived in a farm commune since she was two years old. Her mother and father live in city communes and rarely visit. This is one of the commandments given by Otto, who rules the commune: children are to grow up without parents. Knowing nothing else, Jeanne enjoys her outdoor life, surrounded by lots of other children, until she falls in love with 16-year-old Jean and her childhood paradise begins to fall apart.

Udo Kier takes center spotlight in 'Swan Song' as Pat Pitsenbarger, a gay beautician who comes out of retirement for one last job and rediscovers himself along the way.
With a cast of exceptional and exclusively openly gay actors, "Boys In The Band" takes on themes of homophobia, racism, vanity, and substance abuse.
Upon first watch, Buddy feels like it should have been aired on Adult Swim at four in the morning.
