If you’ve been following the news about the acclaimed queer movie “La Bola Negra” (Netflix) since it began winning multiple awards at film festivals (including Cannes), then you might get the sense that the hype machinery is running at full speed. However, in this case, “La Bola Negra,” co-directed by queer filmmaking couple Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi (aka Los Javis), and co-written with gay playwright Alberto Conejero, lives up to the buildup.

Before the lights go up on “Jekyll & Hyde” at Actors’ Playhouse, a voiceover announcement asks the audience to leave Coral Gables behind and enter London. It sets the mood for the gothic musical about a scientist whose attempt to separate good from evil takes a terrible twist.

In "The Debut," Julianne Moore plays a housewife who gets a small role in a community theater musical and becomes a zealous method actor. At the Telluride Film Festival, the audience stood in a rare mid-film ovation during the movie's world premiere. The film opens the Miami Film Festival GEMS on Thursday, Oct. 29.

The theme for this year’s Wicked Manors, on Halloween night, and a benefit for The Pride Center, is “Masquerade of Mayhem.” As usual, it promises to be a night of outrageous costumes and an excuse for many folks to walk around with as little clothing as possible. You’re sure to see lots of 20/20s. That’s what I call folks who could have pulled off that costume 20 pounds or 20 years ago. Not that I’m body shaming, but sometimes you have to admit a mu-mu is the best look. I have my costume and let’s just say, it leans more to the mu-mu side of things.

Some love stories are simply too magical to leave in the past, and some fictional worlds deserve a second chance to sweep us off our feet. That's exactly what bestselling author Shannon Messenger is bringing to bookshelves this November as her beloved Sky Fall trilogy returns with gorgeous new covers, refreshed storytelling, and all the supernatural romance that made YA readers fall in love with the genre in the first place.
