Gun Hill Road: Growing Up Confused in a Tough Neighborhood

I heard about the movie Gun Hill Road from the Independent Spirit Awards which I saw in Star Movies.  As if growing up gay was hard enough, the main character in the movie has to deal with the tough neighborhood he is in!  It's definitely a movie I'm going to search for in my suki DVD seller.  They should have a copy of it now, I'm sure, since it was released more than a year ago and was a big hit in the Sundance Festival.

Harmony Santana: Breakthrough Transgender Actress

I am currently watching the Independent Spirit Awards and I discovered this wonderful actress, well, a transgender actress, Harmony Santana, who got nominated for Best Supporting Actress for Gun Hill Road.  I think I have to look for that movie in my suki DVD seller!  

Her nomination can serve as a marker for actresses like her, who may have to face discrimination just because they are.  It's great that she's sharing her acting talent to the world despite the labels being attached to her.  She's a real looker by the way!
