Another in a string of interconnected characters/plot flicks that have been coming from the Art House genre, this one is actually quite good. To try and explain the plot would be futile and too revelatory but I will say that our cast of characters includes a committed gay boyfriend played wonderfully by Steve Coogan(!), a singer-seductress scene stealer part from Maggie Gyllenhaal and a very sweet, cash-for-brains father played by Tom Arnold. As well as Lisa Kudrow who serves a hub of sorts for find out more...

If you thought Hedwig and the Angry Inch was a film unlike any other you'd seen before, get ready for Shortbus: a frank and fun film about the sex lives of humans, ostensibly set in New York, but relevant to every one of us. The plot plays a supporting role in what is, in many ways, a beautifully disguised self-help documentary. Sex therapist Sofia (played by Canadian radio star, Sook-Yin Lee) has frequent, athletic (yet frustratingly unfulfilling) intercourse with her boyfriend. Her seeming ina find out more...

Through interviews with indie directors such as John Waters, Kimberly Pierce, Atom Egoyan and Kevin Smith, we get find out more...
