Opens Friday, Jun 7, 2013 Synopsis: A pompous author is forced to move back home after his career hits the skids, and falls for a free-spirited beauty who claims to be dying in this quirky romantic comedy. The success of his first novel now a distant memory, Kyle Livingston (Josh Cooke) longs to recapture his former glory. But his life is falling apart, and his options are running out. Reluctantly returning home to live with his estranged, agoraphobic father Alan (Barry Bostwick), the fallen scribe finds his domestic rage swelling until a chance meeting with sassy bohemian Joy Bailey (Liane Balaban). Gorgeous, vibrant, and unpredictable, Joy is everything Kyle could have ever wanted in a woman, and before long he's back at the keyboard writing. Kyle's newfound happiness proves short-lived, however, when his vivacious muse reveals that she is dying, and would like him to write her obituary. Now the deeper Kyle falls in love with Joy, the more his skepticism over her grim claim grows. With the help of his family Kyle strives to convince Joy that they've got all the time in the world if they want it. Unfortunately for both of them, a happy future together just might not be in the cards. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi Cast: Josh Cooke, Liane Balaban, Barry Bostwick, Lainie Kazan Movie Details

Opens Friday, Jun 14, 2013 Synopsis: Filmmaker Morgan Neville pays homage to some of the greatest vocalists you've never heard of in this documentary. While the lead singers in rock, pop, and R&B are the ones who get the glory, knowledgeable music fans will tell you the backing vocalists often add the touches that make a performance truly memorable, and though many backup singers have the respect of their peers in the music business, they're all but unknown to the average listener. Twenty Feet From Stardom pays homage to some of these unsung heroes, including Darlene Love (the uncredited lead voice on some of Phil Spector's most memorable productions of the 1960s), Merry Clayton (who contributed a striking vocal cameo on the Rolling Stones "Gimme Shelter", Lisa Fischer (who has appeared on albums by Sting, Tina Turner, and Aretha Franklin, as well as touring with the Rolling Stones, and the Waters Family (they sang with Michael Jackson on the album {^Thriller} and lent their voices to the films The Lion King and Avatar). The film also includes interviews with such superstars as Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, and Mick Jagger on the role backing vocalists play in music and the music business, while a number of veteran singers share their stories of the ups and downs of their careers. Twenty Feet From Stardom received its world premiere at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi Movie Details Play Trailer

Gardeners are reaping the benefits of their labor by the bushelful about now. And, if you don't have a garden yourself, the farmers and vendors at local farmers markets and produce stands are happy to share the fruits of their labor with you. A visit to the farmers market in my area yielded perfect zucchini - smallish and dark, with no unbroken skin, and gorgeous pole beans that were firm (making them really good for "snapping" later) and blemish free.
