Official Upcoming Movies Discussion Thread


The Ruby

Recommended Posts

[align=center]

I decided to create a continuous thread here in the Movies and Television Section. Basically,

each week I will update this first post with movies that are about to come out either the next

or following week. Hopefully this thread will encourage the members of this board to take a

trip to the local Movie Theatres and enjoy what I like to call, a Cinematic Adventure.

 

What I will post here are the information of upcoming movies, descriptions, pictures, video links, and

more. I will also include Tags which will show whether said movies are acceptable for your age group.[/align]

Considering these haven't been listed yet, and they come out tomorrow, I thought I should Post them as well, and put them up for discussion.

 

Topic One - MILK

 

RATED: R

 

New! [spoiler=Movie Details]

His life changed history. His courage changed lives. In 1977, Harvey Milk was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, becoming the first openly gay man to be voted into public office in America. His victory was not just a victory for gay rights; he forged coalitions across the political spectrum. From senior citizens to union workers, Harvey Milk changed the very nature of what it means to be a fighter for human rights and became, before his untimely death in 1978, a hero for all Americans. Milk charts the last eight years of Harvey Milk's life. While living in New York City, he turns 40. Looking for more purpose, Milk and his lover Scott Smith relocate to San Francisco, where they found a small business, Castro Camera, in the heart of a working-class neighborhood. With his beloved Castro neighborhood and beautiful city empowering him, Milk surprises Scott and himself by becoming an outspoken agent for change. With vitalizing support from Scott and from new friends like young activist Cleve Jones, Milk plunges headfirst into the choppy waters of politics. Bolstering his public profile with humor, Milk's actions speak even louder than his gift-of-gab words. When Milk is elected supervisor for the newly zoned District 5, he tries to coordinate his efforts with those of another newly elected supervisor, Dan White. But as White and Milk's political agendas increasingly diverge, their personal destinies tragically converge. Milk's platform was and is one of hope--a hero's legacy that resonates in the here and now.
