Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 02/01/2011 Run time: 85 minutes Rating: NrThe Client List features a great performance by Jennifer Love Hewitt and a whole lot of prurient guilty pleasure. It's a perfect chick popcorn film--and because of The Client List's subject matter, more than a few men will enjoy it too. The Client List is based on a true story, which manages to give Hewitt's character, Samantha, some sympathy amid the silliness. Samantha is a former Texas homecoming queen, the purtiest girl in her small hometown, who wed Rex (Teddy Sears), a former high-school football star. And Samantha's mama, Cassie, is played by Cybill Shepherd in a very canny and welcome ! supporting role.

The Client List opens with Samantha and Rex facing some serious financial hardships in the recession, with three small children to support and Rex's inability to work (which is never really explained). As the financial noose threatens to tighten around this all-American family, Samantha decides her only solution is to take a job at the local massage parlor. Yes, that kind of massage parlor. It's never quite clear why Samantha doesn't consider barista, say, or cashier instead of prostitute as her recession career, but that's part of the fun of The Client List. When the police crack down, as they eventually always do, Samantha must weigh turning in the client list of the title--which could change the landscape of her small town forever. Hewitt really does give a good performance; she's lovely and even believable in the sometimes-absurd plot. The Client List may not win awards, but it's absolutely compelling and thoroughly enjoya! ble watching. --A.T. HurleyHow can a best friend become! a guy's best girl? That's the problem facing Leah (Jennifer Love Hewitt), a sweet-natured teen with a major crush on her good pal Brad (Will Friedle). Brad has a problem of his own. He's just discovered that Brooke (Marley Shelton), his beautiful high-school study mate, is also very willing. One catch, though: no condom. So off Brad goes into the suburban night to find the one thing keeping him from romantic bliss. It should be easy. But on this anything-can-happen night of kooks and catastrophes, it's war. Director George Huang follows his satiric Swimming with Sharks with Trojan War, a wild comic adventure about finding true love where you least expect it. Make a date with this hip, funny, fast-paced caper.

For any woman who has ever bought a self-help book and wondered why she bothered. (P.S. Now that I know he's just not that into me, where do I go! from there? Yeah, thanks for that advice.)

Jennifer Love Hewitt is a self-proclaimed "love-aholic" and a hopeless romantic (her middle name is Love, after all!). She has been lucky and unlucky in love, and lived to tell--and she's done it all in the spotlight. Much has been written about her love life--some true, most made up to sell magazines. Now Hewitt shares the real story of what she's learned navigating the dangerous dating waters.

In The Day I Shot Cupid, Hewitt offers her hard-won wisdom and tells us how to embrace love with both feet on the ground. Funny, quirky, and empowering, The Day I Shot Cupid deserves a place on every woman's nightstand, bookshelf, or coffee table, or tucked inside her oversized designer handbag.

Bloody Reunion

  • BLOODY REUNION (DVD MOVIE)
THE ISLE mixes erotica and art in the tradition of classic Asian art house horror films like AUDITION, CURE and Hideo Nakata's THE RING, as well as NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD and THE EXORCIST, all films full of sex, blood, mutilation, relationship power-plays, nudity and parody.

THE ISLE is a remote fishing ground where people go to forget their deepest problems. It's an unearthly locale crouched in awe-inducing early-morning light. The lodgings are a series of small huts floating on an isolated lake and managed by Hee-Jin, a woman who lives alone without speaking, who sells food, beer, night crawlers, and often her body, to the vacationing fishermen. One day, a mysterious man named Hyun-Shik arrives, and before long, Hee-Jin becomes obsessed with the former police officer...

Haunting, gorgeous, bewitching, sadomasochistic are just a few of the words us! ed to describe THE ISLE, the erotic art house thriller that caused a sensation at the Sundance, Toronto, and Venice Film Festivals. The latest in a series of South Korean hits, this film by maverick director Kim Ki-Duk caused a scandal upon its release in its homeland, and has gone on to become an international success, shocking journalists and audiences alike.Nam-woo lives in a seaside village with his widowed mother, his grandmother and his cat, Yo. Unfortunately, his grandmother is ailing, his cat constantly runs away, his mother spends most of her time with her new boyfriend, and, to top it all off, his best friend is moving to Seoul! Overwhelmed by feelings of abandonment, Nam-woo escapes into a fantastic dream world where he meets the mysterious Mari. As two young boys discover the true meaning of friendship, they must also learn the difference between fantasy and reality. With stunning visuals and a haunting score, My Beautiful Girl, Mari, will enchant and mesmer! ize you.Legend has it, if you climb the 28 stairs leading to t! he schoo l dormitory and count each step aloud, a 29th step will appear and a spirit will grant you a wish. If your intentions are honorable, your wish can be a blessing of good fortune. But at this high school, where paranoia and jealousy reign supreme, malicious wishes are about to unleash an unspeakable evil. Be careful what you wish for; some wishes were never meant to be granted.The South Korean "Ghost School" trilogy comes to a close with Wishing Stairs, a typically creepy example of modern Asian horror. First-time director Yoon Jae-Yeon was fresh out of film school when she signed on for this commercial assignment, and her rookie status makes this a lesser entry in the "Asian Extreme" genre, following the trilogy's previous installments, Whispering Corridors and Memento Mori. Still, fine performances and attention to psychological detail make this an effectively eerie study of peer pressure, classroom cruelty, and blind ambition in a girls' art school, whe! re three aspiring ballerinas make fateful wishes upon an enchanted staircase (or is it cursed?) near their school. According to legend, if you climb the 28 steps and count each step aloud, a 29th step will magically appear and a fox-spirit will grant your wish. Fierce competition, paranoia, and malicious intentions make these "wishing stairs" a recipe for disaster, when one girl commits suicide and another wishes for her revival. At that point, Wishing Stairs employs standard-issue horror techniques that will be familiar to anyone who's seen Ju-On or the Japanese version of Dark Water (including the ghostly girl with long black hair). For patient viewers, the film's frightful climax comes not a moment too soon. A comprehensive "making of" documentary is included, including interview clips with primary cast and crew. --Jeff Shannon(Horror) Originally titled To Sir With Love, Bloody Reunion is Lim Dae-wung’s Korean slasher about a group of young ! people who reunite with their now wheel-chair bound teacher. ! The happ y gathering turns into a nightmare as old grudges and hidden truths surface and one by one the former classmates vanish in a series of unforgettably gruesome murders.
