LOVE IS STRANGE

JOHN LITHGOW & ALFRED MOLINA

We're having a CRAZY DUOS MOVIES SUNDAY, people, starting with delightful comedy LOVE IS STRANGE in which reallife friends John Lithgow and Alfred Molina play a gay couple! The film, which was shown at a number of festivals this year, sees the two of them playing Ben and George, a same-sex couple forced to sell their flat and live apart after George loses his job as a school choir director right after they get married. While George moves in with two cops (Cheyenne Jackson and Manny Perez) who live down stairs, Ben lands in Brooklyn with his nephew (Darren Burrows), his wife (Marisa Tomei), and their temperamental teenage son (Charlie Tahan), with whom Ben shares a bunk bed.

THE TRIP TO ITALY

STEVE COOGAN & ROB BRYDON
Another crazy duo can be seen in delightful comedy THE TRIP TO ITALY which is currently in cinemas starring Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon who embark on a new culinary road trip around Italy in the summer, where they enjoy mouth-watering meals in the gorgeous surroundings of Liguria, Tuscany, Rome, Amalfi and Capri. They riff on subjects as varied as Batman's vocal register, Pompeii, the artistic merits of "Jagged Little Pill", and, of course, compete on who can do the best Michael Caine impersonation. Michael Winterbottom is directing!

LAND HO!

SENIOR TRIP TO ICELAND

You shall also see a crazy duo taking another joyous international trip in LAND HO! a comedy by Martha Stevens which also played at some of the movie festivals this year.
