This page is dedicated to celebrating the wonders of the Coos County Library system. Specifically, short reviews for best bets from the 6000 movies offered to anyone smart enough to have a library card. I might toss in a couple comments about books I found useful too.

Movie Review: The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
Three friends who perform in a drag show set out on an adventure into the Australian desert. Along the way the bus they're driving breaks down. They meet a cast of strange characters, climb rocks and sort out their messy lives. They call the bus Priscilla.
You may remember Hugo Weaving from Lord of the Rings and the Matrix series. He plays a more catty role as "Tick." Along the lonely road one of the characters stands atop the moving Priscilla and surfs in full drag. This display may be worth the two hour film all by itself.
Coos Bay and Bandon Libraries have a copy of this DVD
