![]() Sex Pies & Idiot Scrapes $1.99 A somewhat quirky start to the record-breaking 20th season of The Simpsons. The first act lags, but finishes with a decent second and third act. Plot is handled better than one might expect, resulting in a passable season premiere for OFF. Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Robert Forster, Joe Mantegna all have guest voiceovers, but with the latter being limited only to a few grunts. 3/5 ![]() New Free Sex: Step-by-Step System for Super-Sensual Lovemaking & Spiritual Sex $24.99 The whole DVD is just this guy talking in a chair for about 2 hours! Yes, what he's saying could be helpful, but there are better books out there to learn this stuff. I just assumed that a video, would have... video of certain techniques to use. Needless to say I was quite disappointed. ![]() New Free Chocolate Sex: A Novel $22.95 Originally published in the UK, popular "lad lit" author Keith Lowe's latest book is a delicious tale of love, loss, and longing for life's sweetest rewards.Can your sworn enemy become your romantic obsession? What lies between sugar and spice? Do personal tastes ever change? And when should we try something new? As this irresistible novel reminds us, sometimes love is the least predictable flavor in life's box of chocolates.Matt, the brilliant young marketing director of the confectionery Trundel & Barr, loves chocolate. To him it represents sensuousness and innocent joy; it is to be adored, worshipped -- and exploited -- at every opportunity. For Samantha, however, chocolate represents something more sinister: While researching for a television documentary she learns that there is a darker side to Trundel & Barr, in the horrendous conditions of its African cocoa plantations. So Sam sets out to expose Matt -- until she finds herself locked up with him in his own chocolate factory. Stuck together, they are at risk of having a complete meltdown. But if Sam and Matt can find a way to confront their differences and learn to accept each other's passion for chocolate, their bitter situation stands a chance of turning out sweet.... ![]() Sex with Love $9.99 Three couples are caught up in various sexual escapades. The young school teacher who is having an affair with an older writer, a businessman, Alvaro, who is cheating on his pregnant wife and the old married couple of Macha and Emilio who are having trouble stirring up any passion in the bedroom, mostly due to Emilio's utter sexual incompetence. It plays out like a comic farce with no serious tone of moral condemnation. But to fully appreciate it I think you must try to understand it within the context of Chilean society, with all the infidelity and sexual obsession that takes place in a superficially puritanical society. Of course, characters like the womanizing Alvaro and clueless Emilio are exaggerated for comic effect. But my wife, who is originally from Ecuador, says that what happens in this movie is really not that far from what hapens in reality among some couples in Latin America.I can see why this film made such a big splash in Chile. |
