"Y" is You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger (2010)
« Reply #6035 on: September 01, 2010, 11:56:08 pm »
From Woody Allen:


Plot:  Follows a pair of married couples, Alfie (Anthony Hopkins) and Helena (Gemma Jones), and their daughter Sally (Naomi Watts) and husband Roy (Josh Brolin), as their passions, ambitions, and anxieties lead them into trouble and out of their minds. After Alfie leaves Helena to pursue his lost youth and a free-spirited call girl named Charmaine (Lucy Punch), Helena abandons rationality and surrenders her life to the loopy advice of a charlatan fortune teller. Unhappy in her marriage, Sally develops a crush on her handsome art gallery owner boss, Greg (Antonio Banderas), while Roy, a novelist nervously awaiting the response to his latest manuscript, becomes moonstruck over Dia (Freida Pinto), a mystery woman who catches his gaze through a nearby window.

Wildcard "Z" is Man at Bath (2010)
« Reply #6036 on: September 02, 2010, 07:30:00 am »


(original title: Homme au bain)

Man At Bath is the newest film from Love Songs director Christophe Honoré, starring gay pornstar François Sagat, which marks his beginning as a “traditional” (as in: non porn) actor in a motion picture. He will be sharing the screen with Chiara Mastroianni, daughter of Catherine Deneuve and Marcello Mastroianni. It is a major break for Sagat, who was chosen by Honoré because he “redefines the notion of masculinity”. The film, originally supposed to be a short film, will be released in France on September 22nd, after being screened at the Locarno Festival in Switzerland. The story, set in Gennevilliers and New York City, revolves around a gay couple who tries everything to prove to each other they are not in love anymore. The title is inspired by a Gustave Caillebote painting at the National Gallery in London.

François Sagat has definitely been capturing auteurist filmmaker’s attentions lately, since he is also starring in Bruce La Bruce’s arthouse porn L.A. Zombie.

"B" is Boys on the Side (1995)
« Reply #6039 on: September 02, 2010, 09:30:54 am »

Drew Barrymore played Holly.

From moviefone:  Sometimes referred to as a "feminist road movie," the film deals with women who find one another in a time of crisis and realize that the bonds among women are more powerful than any of life's obstacles.
