BEHIND THE CANDELABRA (LIBERACE MOVIE) ON HBO SOUNDS GREAT!

Who wants to DVR Liberace and invite me over to see it? Ain't got HBO and work Sunday night anyway! "Probably not, given Liberace's vampiric reliance on younger men as a kind of elixir. ('I've always had an eye for new and refreshing talent,' he says, in one of [writer Richard] LaGravenese's most memorable exchanges, to which [Matt Damon's] Scott's priceless snapback is: 'No, you've always had an eye for new and refreshing dick.') But as the hard-won tenderness of the film's final moments suggest, homosexuals also have the right to end their relationships as ceremoniously as they begin." GUARDIAN
