9. MUSIC: Unrepentant Geraldines Tour, Tori Amos
After traversing Europe and Africa with her Unrepentant Geraldines Tour, iconoclast Amos brings the show to North America this week, with performances all over the West Coast before making her way east (the tour wraps August 24 in Miami). Amos loves to switch up her set list, so you never know what you're gonna get -- will you hear "1,000 Oceans," "A Sorta Fairytale," "Glory of the '80s," Trouble's Lament"?

8. DVD: The Last Match
Set in Havana, The Last Match is a romantic drama that focuses on the comely Rey and Yosvani, friends and teammates on an amateur soccer team whose relationship kicks into romance with an unexpected tryst after a nightclub encounter. Although he has a wife and child, Rey has engaged in sexual relationships with men for quite some time, prostituting himself, at the encouragement of his mother, in order to pay the bills. Yosvani has a fiancee of his own, with whom he lives along with her father, who makes a living off black market dealings. But the pair seem far more interested in each other than their female partners, and the film, directed by Antonio Hens, trains its lens on this tension between Latin machismo and the closeted culture it engenders amid a story of sex, sweat, scandal, and soccer. Released by TLA, The Last Match is now available on DVD. Watch the trailer below. -- Daniel Reynolds
