'Chloe' DVD - Pre-Order Now

Fresh from her sapphic episode with Megan Fox, in 'Jennifer's Body', Amanda Seyfried plays an escort hired by a female gynaecologist, (Julianne Moore), to tempt her college professor husband (Liam Neeson) whom she suspects is having affairs with his students. The movie is well directed with a haunting soundtrack (some of which is provided by the group 'Raised By Swans') and has a good (if predictable) twist. Unfortunately, it also depicts the usual dysfunctional, psychotic, lesbian element.

'And Then Came Lola' Released on DVD

And Then Came Lola stars Ashleigh Sumner, Jill Bennett (Dante's Cove, 3Way) and Cathy DeBuono (Out At the Wedding) 

Lola (played by Ashleigh Sumner) is a commitment-phobic, disorganised photographer who could lose her new girlfriend if she doesn't make it to an important meeting.  The film is a cross between 'Run Lola Run' and 'Groundhog Day' and is quirky, amusing and sexy.
