Fresh on streaming (while hitting DVD Tuesday): the Entin brothers' classy GEOGRAPHY CLUB
Having covered this smart and enjoyable GLBT movie twice already, I'll just mention that it's now playing on Netflix streaming, simultaneous with its DVD release that hits the street tomorrow, March 25. When I first saw GEOGRAPHY CLUB, based on the popular Brett Hartinger young adult novel, and directed by Gary Entin and adapted by his brother, Edmund, I was struck at how roundly mainstream it seemed -- as well as how almost "big-budget" it appeared, as though producer Michael Huffington had spared no expense. It still looks good, and seems every bit as enjoyable upon a second viewing. If you have not yet seen the film at least once, here's your chance to discover just how far gay mainstream has come over the past few years.
