A movie recommendation

[LurkerSpeaks]

There is a newer movie out in limited runs, which I saw today and would recommend. It offers a realistic view of how many in the macho latino communities view homosexuality ...The name of the movie is La Mission.

 

Here is the synopsis from moviefone..

A reformed ex-convict and lowrider car aficionado kicks his beloved son out of the house after discovering that the boy has been living a secret life in Sundance Film Festival veteran Peter Bratt's heartfelt family drama. Che (Benjamin Bratt) is out of prison and on the straight and narrow. Still, every day is a struggle as he battles alcoholism and drives a bus in order to support his family. When the workday is done, Che and his friends, the "Mission Boyz," pass the time by restoring junked cars to mint condition. Feared by his peers yet deeply respected as the toughest Chicano on the block, Che is the kind of guy whose entire existence is defined by his macho reputation. There's no one in the world that Che loves more than his adolescent son, Jesse (Jeremy Ray Valdez), but both father and son are about to discover that love isn't exactly unconditional. Upon discovering that Jesse has been living a secret life, Che flies into a violent rage, assaulting the boy and kicking him out onto the street. Meanwhile, Che's attractive and headstrong neighbor Lena (Erika Alexander) challenges the ultra-macho gearhead to step back for a minute and take stock of the life he thought he had

Saw another movie today.. "Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work"

 

If you are a fan of Joan, it is a good, informative piece..giving a little view to the person behind the name...It includes several scenes from her NY apartment, which can only be described as "Victorian Garish", complete with ornate gold trim...She describes it as "where Marie Antoinette would have lived if she was rich"...

For those of you in the ATL, AMC Fork & Screen has 6 dollar movies all day Monday through Thursday. That plus the fact that you can get dinner and a drink makes it a great place to see a movie.
