How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
In this totally off-kilter horror-comedy from filmmaker Kevin Smith, Justin Long plays a podcaster who finds himself in dire straits when abducted by a man obsessed with walruses. Zany stuff, with an utterly bonkers surprise appearance by a heavily made-up Johnny Depp as a loopy investigator! Extras include making-of featurettes, deleted scenes, a commentary and audio Smodcast about the film.
($24.99 DVD; IFC)
In an all-too-rare starring role, Patricia Clarkson plays the matriarch of a family — including a gay son and his boyfriend — that gather at their gorgeous summer home. Dramz ensue!
($24.99 Blu-ray, $19.99 DVD; Millennium)
Shirley MacLaine and Christopher Plummer play single, elderly neighbors who discover that love has no expiration date. Silverdaddy and MacLaine fans, this is the rom-com for you! Extras include a making-of featurette.

I actually watched Tusk, and that’s quite the interesting description of it. And by interesting, I mean wholly inaccurate.

Critics were not fond of Last Weekend, not that they are always on target. But did anyone see it? Agree? Disagree?
