From: "Jay Moseley" Date: Mon, 24 Jan 2000 22:26:40 -0500 Subject: 2000 Charlotte Gay & Lesbian Film Series SOURCE: OutCharlotte -- http://www.outcharlotte.org 2000 Charlotte Gay & Lesbian Film Series, presented by OutCharlotte Better Than Chocolate Thursday, January 27 - 7:00 & 9:15pm Park Terrace Cinemas, Park & Woodlawn Roads Written by Peggy Thompson. Directed by Anne Wheeler. Deliciously ambitious and terrifically entertaining, this super sexy story of love and courage unites people from many walks of life, as it moves briskly to the beat of girl power. When 19-year-old Maggie s nutty mother calls and says she s moving in, Maggie must find a sublet apartment and make it livable fast. To complicate matters, she has just met the sultry Kim, an artistic road warrior who has rolled into town, quickly moving into her heart and into her new home. But Maggie hasn t come out to her mother yet, so it s time to hide the sex toys and straighten up. Add to the picture her lovesick best friend Judy, a MTF transsexual estranged from her family; her uptight lesbian boss; and Maggie s randy teen brother who gets a few lessons on life. Better Than Chocolate is a raucous roller-coaster of campy exploits and over-the-top situations with a gorgeous cast and a playful attitude towards sex. Body paint sales will skyrocket because of one particularly sexy scene between the two young leads. Issues such as coming out, hate crimes and the continuing debate about the acceptance of transgenderism in the community are touched upon with intelligence, sensitivity and humor. Adding to this wonderful romance is music by Bif Naked, Ani DiFranco, Ferron and Sarah McLachlan. A mad frolic of a movie, great for a first date or a hot-and-heavy night on the town. The 7:00pm showing of Better Than Chocolate is underwritten by White Rabbit Books & Things. 2000 Film Series Season Tickets 2000 Film Series Pass: Only $38! Save $18 off single ticket prices!
