Enough Glooom And Dooom

There are two new movies coming out this weekend that are putting a smile on my face .....

Breakfast On Pluto
check the cast - Stephen Rea, Cillian Murphy, Liam Neeson

"Set in the 1970’s, Breakfast on Pluto follows the exploits of Patrick Braden, an endearing, but deceptively tough young man. Abandoned as a baby in his small Irish hometown and aware from a very early age that he is different, Patrick survives this harsh environment with the aid of his wit and charm, plus a sweet refusal to let anyone and anything change who he is."

Transamerica
"Stanley is a perfectly adjusted, conservative trans-sexual who’s about to take the final step to becoming Bree, the woman he always wanted to be - until he finds out that he is the parent of a long-lost 17 year old son. Afraid to tell the rebellious teen-ager the truth, he embarks on a journey with him that will challenge and change both their lives."

Oh did I mention that they're both about men with gender identity issues. Makes me so happy.

And tonight! Tonight I've decided to take in Syriana and while the synopsis doesn't boast tales of men with gender identity issues the cast does contain a couple of my favorite male actors namely Chris Cooper and Jeffery Wright.

"Syriana is a gripping and fascinating tale of political intrigue that spans three continents, its focus trained on the volatile Middle East. It's a global portrait of danger, deception and disillusionment, with no dearth of human casualties."
