film It seems that each summer there is reason to decry the void of LGBTQ movies PREVIEW
SUMMER MOVIE
in cinemas. I mean, it’s not like Disney is going to roll out a reboot of one of their most successful franchises asButt Pirates of the Caribbean or something. Imagine my surprise, when I discovered there are actually three LGBTQ films
slated to make their screen debuts during the warm summer months. Granted, these probably aren’t going to be playing at any mall Cineplex, but it’s a case of something is better than nothing.
Let’s see what’s coming soon to a theater near you this summer. by tim parks

Shore, but does focus on GTL-type broheim Brooklynite named Frankie (Harris Dickinson), who is faced with his father dying and a mother who just wants him to find a girlfriend.

DRAMA QUEENS WITH A SIDE OF
COMEDY Churchillis a dramatized thriller
that follows the British wartime leader (Bryan Cox) in the 96 hours prior to D-Day. (June 2) Beatriz at Dinner, stars Salma
Hayek as an immigrant woman who is making a new life as a health prac- titioner. When her car breaks down, she attends the titular dinner and goes head-to-head with Douglas Strutt (John Lithgow), a cutthroat, self-centered billionaire in this timely dramedy. (June 9) All Eyez on Meis a
biopic that tells the story of rapper Tupac Shakur’s (Demetrius Shipp, Jr.) time in the spotlight, leading up to his shooting death in 1996. (June 16) The Beguiled, is one
of the few remakes this summer. It’s a drama that was first done in 1971,
the beguiled

This version, directed by Sofia Coppola, stars Colin Farrell (swoon) as a wounded Union soldier during the Civil War. He’s nursed back to health at an all-girls boarding school by Nicole Kidman, Kirsten Dunst and Elle Fanning, which leads to rivalries amongst the
women...And shall we say, a more truncated ending for Farrell. (June 23)
