In "Farwell, My Queen" Marie Antoinette (Diane Kruger) and her royal lover (Virginie Ledoyen) embrace in the Versailles Hall of Mirrors. Léa Seydoux plays the Queen's adoring servant who secretly desires her love and affection.The Bubble(user submission) THE BUBBLE opens in select US cities Sept. 7th, 2007! Directed by Eytan Fox (Walk on Water, Yossi & Jagger). Three young Israelis share an apartment inTel Aviv's hippest neighborhood. When Noam, who spends his weekends serving at checkpoints in the National Guard, falls in love with a Palestinian man named Ashraf, he and his friends conspire to help Ashraf stay on in Tel Aviv illegally. But will their utopian dream be shattered by the political and social realities of the Middle East? www.strandreleasing.com www.myspace.com/thebubblemovieHoliday Heart(User Submission) <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/social/Scott_Tinsley-Hall"></a><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/social/Scott_Tinsley-Hall">Scott Tinsley-Hall</a>:<br />In a break from his usual he-man roles, Ving Rhames takes on the persona of "Holiday Heart," a church choir-directing female impersonator who is openly gay, religious, and alone. His loneliness ebbs when he rescues Wanda (Alfre Woodard) and her daughter from her drug-abusing boyfriend. He invites the pair to live free of charge in the duplex across the hall from his own and they form a family of sorts. But Wanda hooks up with a well-heeled drug dealer (Mykelti Williamson) and soon falls back into drug addiction, leaving Holiday to give up his own dreams and take care of the girl. Robert Townsend (Hollywood Shuffle) directed this R-rated cable movie that earned Woodard a Golden Globe nomination for her stark performance as a woman whose intelligence and love for her daughter are no match for the demons of her addiction. Screenwriter Cheryl L. West, who adapted her stage play, gets credit for combining the sentiment of a family story with the harshness of street life. The film's noble desire not to pretty things up does make for some tough scenes and a less-than-happy ending--thus the restricted rating. But the film has its fun moments, too, many of them thanks to Holiday's mincing fellow impersonator Jambalaya Blue, played with relish by Jonathan Wallace. --Kimberly Heinrichs Sordid Lives(user submission) View the trailer <a href="http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi3616080153/" target="_hplink">here</a>.

The Wedding Banquet (user submission)It's In The Water(user submission) The story of Alex, east Texas Junior League society wife, when she starts to realize she is a lesbian. It is filled with the humor of the small town locals being afraid that people are becoming gay because of the water. Also, it follows the course of several different gay men and lesbians in the town. Made in 1997, this film also shows the hostility with which AIDS outreach was still attacked with in the mid 90s in the south.

His loneliness ebbs when he rescues Wanda (Alfre Woodard) and her daughter from her drug-abusing boyfriend. He invites the pair to live free of charge in the duplex across the hall from his own and they form a family of sorts. But Wanda hooks up with a well-heeled drug dealer (Mykelti Williamson) and soon falls back into drug addiction, leaving Holiday to give up his own dreams and take care of the girl. Robert Townsend (Hollywood Shuffle) directed this R-rated cable movie that earned Woodard a Golden Globe nomination for her stark performance as a woman whose intelligence and love for her daughter are no match for the demons of her addiction. Screenwriter Cheryl L. West, who adapted her stage play, gets credit for combining the sentiment of a family story with the harshness of street life. The film's noble desire not to pretty things up does make for some tough scenes and a less-than-happy ending--thus the restricted rating. But the film has its fun moments, too, many of them thanks to Holiday's mincing fellow impersonator Jambalaya Blue, played with relish by Jonathan Wallace. --Kimberly Heinrichs Sordid Lives(user submission) View the trailer <a href="http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi3616080153/" target="_hplink">here</a>.

The Wedding Banquet (user submission)It's In The Water(user submission) The story of Alex, east Texas Junior League society wife, when she starts to realize she is a lesbian. It is filled with the humor of the small town locals being afraid that people are becoming gay because of the water. Also, it follows the course of several different gay men and lesbians in the town. Made in 1997, this film also shows the hostility with which AIDS outreach was still attacked with in the mid 90s in the south.
