Oscar nominee Kristin Scott Thomas (I ve Loved You So Long, Four Weddings and a Funeral) delivers another acclaimed performance in the passionate drama Leaving. When stay-at-home mom Suzanne wants to return to work, her husband agrees to remodel a garage to serve as her office. Ivan, a sexy Spanish builder, enters their lives and changes them in ways no one could have expected. Suzanne and Ivan are irresistibly drawn together by an erotic passion that threatens to destroy her marriage, her family and everything she holds dear. Her husband will stop at nothing to destroy her first. In this thrilling romance, everyone pays a price for happiness. Kristin Scott Thomas has transformed from the ice queen of British cinema to a woman of torrid passions in French films--and Leaving may be the most torrid yet. Suzanne (Thomas) leads a pleasant but stale upper middle-class life, with two teenage children (demanding and unappreciative, as all teenagers are) and a slightly pushy husband, Samuel (Yvan Attal, My Wife Is an Actress). She has a fling with a Spanish handyman named Ivan (Sergi López, Pan's Labyrinth) that, to her surprise, turns into an overwhelming passion. She can't bear to be without Ivan and decides to leave Samuel… a decision that slowly disintegrates her life. The strength of Leaving lies not in the plot, which holds no radical surprises, but in the vitality of Thomas's performance (particularly striking is a scene in which Suzanne, playfully bantering with Ivan, suddenly discovers she's in deeper emotional waters than she knew) and the cool eye writer-director Catherine Corsini casts over the events. The movie lures you into sympathy with Suzanne, yet there's always something a little unnerving about her, the sense that her mad love might have more madness than love. Thomas's career in France (including Tell No One and I've Loved You So Long) has given this superb actress a new life. --Bret Fetzer

Product Description The third installment to this fun series is comprised of smaller shorts, each with its own story and lovely lads of course. In "Love Me Even If You Don't," a hot muscular gay farm boy (Bryan Wilde) who has spent years entertaining straight boys is getting tired of this dead end routine and realizes that what he really needs is a different thing completely. He zeroes in on a blond fair skin neighbor with a 10" dick (Newcomer Mike Austin) to quench his love thirst. He will be ready to pay Mike's rent for a whole two months if that stud can pretend to be his lover for one day only (not just sex the whole emotional "husband" Enchilada.) The soft-core erotic session that follows is one of the most riveting Toby has ever filmed, it includes a hammock milking session, camping in a tent and much more. The second short features Shawn Lane and Brenden Black finding themselves in a photo session...totally turned on. The scene is purely magical as the 18-year-old Brenden drools over Shawn's massive endowment, trying to pull himself together and remain professional. It's hard. The third short, starring Ryan di Noor from Like a Moth to a Flame, is about a gay guy, who in a very cunning way, with the help of his girl buddy, manages to lure Jonathan Taylor into a hysterical web of deceit. In the fourth short, Jordan River has the daunting task of researching the campus heteros and finding who of them has had sex with another man...term papers can be hell. He finds Jake Red a very sexy redhead and as he asks him intimate questions his fantasies are running wild. In the fifth short Brenden and Shawn reunite a few months later, this time Shawn that straight enigmatic neighbor is willing to do so much more, he certainly expanded his horizons. The sixth and final short is the story of a gay snob who is just too good for about anything, well at least that is the facade he is trying to promote. He never acts as the submissive one, does not do any drugs, and hates poor people. His friends are on a mission to expose t...
