Gods and Monsters
HD1957. Long having retired, James Whale, arguably most famous for directing Frankenstein (1931) and Bride of Frankenstein (1935) among some other 1930s horror classics, has burned his bridges with the Hollywood community in that they have abandoned him, the possible exception being his continuing friendship with former lover David Lewis. James had been openly gay even during his working period and is in declining health. Having been recently released from a hospital where he was recuperating from a stroke, he left with some permanent health issues, the aftermath of the stroke. Much against the disapproval of his loyal longtime housekeeper Hanna, his health does not prevent him from toying with the handsome young men who may wander into his midst in his continuing homosexual desires, although Hanna is as much, if not more concerned about any of those young men taking advantage of him in his elderly and fragile state. The young man who catches his eye among the most recent is Clayton Boone, who Hanna had hired to do garden work around the property. Clay, an ex-marine from the proverbial "wrong side of the tracks", has no idea who James was or is before he starts this job. James and Clay soon begin a friendship of sorts. Clay is also unaware of James' homosexual orientation before such is confirmed by Hanna, an issue which threatens his masculinity, especially in light of the cracks showing in his casual sexual relationship with a slightly older and wiser diner waitress named Betty. Clay has to reconcile that threat against being in the company of someone whom he considers an interesting and once famous man. The friendship and his state of health related to the stroke lead James to reflect in a bittersweet vein on key points of his life, most notably serving in WWI, and as a result reveals his ulterior motives through the actions he takes toward Clay.
Mary Jane's Not a Virgin Anymore
HDJane, a high school senior, feels like she doesn't belong either in the ultra-conservative suburbs where she lives with her always arguing parents, or downtown if only because some of her colleagues at the Victoria, the downtown art house movie theater where she works, are constantly reminding her that she's from the suburbs. On an impromptu date with Steve, the "friend of a friend", Jane loses her virginity. The entire experience, which was both emotionally and physically bad, leaves Jane with bad taste about sex largely because she knows that Steve orchestrated the date to include sex without telling her. Beyond Matt - Steve's best friend - who she considers a boor, blowhard and drunkard, Jane confides in all her colleagues at the theater who she surveys about their first sexual experiences, those discussions when she learns their different and often misguided views of sex: Dave, her slightly older gay boss, whose first was somewhat different in he exploring his sexuality at the time; Ryan, the adorable geek who deep down Jane would have liked to be her first; party girl Grace who is hiding a not so secret secret associated with her sex life; and Ericka, the punk rocker who is also hiding a different kind of secret associated with her sex life. Things for Jane take a turn when Dave hires Tom, the proverbial good looking nice guy who shows an interest in her. Jane may have other things to think about in life as her movie theater colleagues and friends go through issues in their own lives.

Kinsey
HDCalled "Prok" as an adult (short for Professor Kinsey), Alfred Kinsey, Jr. (Liam Neeson) has been interested in biology since he was a child growing up in the early twentieth century, despite the criticisms of such being evil nonsense from his overbearing and devoutly Christian father, Professor Alfred Seguine Kinsey (John Lithgow). Prok goes on to become a biology professor at Indiana University, initially focusing on the study of gall wasps. But those studies, in combination with questions from his students, coming to terms with the needs of sex with his own wife, a former student of his named Clara McMillen (Laura Linney) (whom he calls Mac), and what he sees as the gross misinformation on the subject currently within popular belief makes him change his focus to human sexuality. Many of those gross untruths - as he sees them - are that oral sex and masturbation cause a slew of maladies, which are perpetuated by what is presented in the university's hygiene class taught by Professor Thurman Rice (Tim Curry). With the approval of faculty head Herman Wells (Oliver Platt), Prok starts teaching his own wildly popular marriage course, talking about sex in a straightforwardly academic fashion. When he sees that morals don't necessarily mirror sexual behavior, he decides to conduct a massive sex survey with the assistance of students Wardell Pomeroy (Chris O'Donnell), Clyde Martin (Peter Sarsgaard), and Paul Gebhard (Timothy Hutton). He faces the issue of the funding required for the survey and public and political response to this controversial, and oft seen as taboo, subject. But in conducting the survey, he and Mac also face the issue of their own sexuality in relationship to their marriage, and the emotional and cultural aspects behind it, such as the notion of love.
