I Can't Think Straight

nately, miss the humor. In fact, it's safe to say that Jay is just plain wrong.

A gay schoolteacher has been murdered. Brutally. As the film opens, the. audience sees his corpse, the stab wounds,

the police buzzing around his bedroom. It is, it appears, a documentary about the murder of Jay Mercado, whose family has already dealt with so much tragedy, and who had so much promise.

As the film progresses, however, we see that another Jay, a television director and host of a real-life mystery series, is shooting a documentary for his show on Mercado's murder.

Like Mercado, the director is gay, and as he insinuates himself and his crew into Mercado's family's lives, the audience witnesses the relatives selling out their grief and the living Jay betraying his own conscience for the sake of ratings.

Filled with poverty, angst, and an evil, razor-sharp wit, Jay is definitely not for all audiences, but is one of the best 10% Cinema offerings this year.

It will be shown on Friday, March 20 at 12 noon and Tuesday, March 24 at 9:45 pm.

Whirlwind

The final 10% Cinema film on the slate is Richard LeMay's Whirlwind, another film centered around pretty young men.

Drake was just dumped, and unceremoniously, by his boyfriend, so his anger at happy couples knows no bounds. When he gets taken under the wing of a circle of friends, his exposes their weaknesses, one by one.

Will his bitterness be the undoing of a circle of friendships, or can Sean, Bobby, JD and Mick overcome this force of chaos in their midst?

Whirlwind screens on Friday, March 20 at 9:50 pm and Saturday, March 21 at 4:20 pm.
