  The Long Island Expressway (L.I.E.)
Movie Haiku:When Howie’s Mom dies in an accident on the Long Island Expressway, his comfortable suburban life collapses. Already confused about his own sexuality, he’s drawn to “Big John” (Cox), a well-known local military hero with a secret taste for teenage boys. Creepy stuff, but film superbly depicts Howie’s inarticulate confusion.
