Exotica (1994) Buy this film on DVD Buy this film on VHS Title: Exotica Released: 1994 Genre: Drama Runtime: 103 min Country: Canada Language: English Tagline: In a world of temptation, obsession is the deadliest desire. Plot Summary: The 'Exotica' is a nightclub on the outskirts of Toronto, where Eric, DJ and MC, watches nightly as his ex-girlfriend Christina performs. Watches jealously, especially as far as the extra attentions regular customer Francis garners are concerned. Thomas, meanwhile and erstwhile, goes through a series of, um, interesting situations involving his pet shop, a gruff taxi-sharing stranger, unexpected tickets to the opera and smuggled eggs of a rare bird. Multiple story lines unfold in a splendid tangle of cutbacks, forward and backward references and recurring themes, all woven around the Exotica, its customers and employees. A calm roller-coaster ride of a movie, visually and intriguingly and emotionally moving. O, and the sound track is notable, too. Comments: Excellent. When I watch a movie I like to be entertained rather than presented with a series of images that I need to figure out as if I'm taking a quiz. On the other hand, I don't want it to be so simplistic that it becomes boring. And, finally, I like being surprised by plot twists that are not contrived. So this movie, for me, is "just what the doctor ordered". Always interesting, with wonderful performances, it is a movie I highly recommend. ..Movie Stills Available to buy:  Exotica (DVD)  Exotica (VHS) "L Word, The" [TV-Series] Title: "L Word, The" [TV-Series] Released: 2004 Genre: Drama Runtime: 60 min Country: Canada / USA Language: English Tagline: Same sex.

Jenny's life is turned upside down when she attends a party hosted by Tim's neighbors, Bette (Jennifer Beals) and Tina (Laurel Hollomon), a lesbian couple who are looking to take the step into parenthood after seven years of dating. A brief encounter at the party suddenly has Jenny thrust into the local lesbian community and a whole new world she never understood until she questions her own sexual orientation. Comments: I am a straight gal and I love the show!!! I love the l word. I read quite a few postings about how a lot of people thought the show aimed at heterosexual males. I have to disagree. I am not a male but i am a heterosexual. I can relate to some of the story lines because i have been pregnant( bette and tina), I have been cheated on (tim and jenny), I know people who play around (shane), I have semi-dorky friends (dana) and lastly i have been in love. i think the message of the show is that as people we all share at least 1 thing on common. That is that we all want to be loved. It doesnt matter by who or how, we all want it. We strive for it. Its a main priority in our lives from the moment we are born. I think its a great show and i for one will continue to watch it!! Scene Description: Mia Kirshner laying on a bed with Karina Lombard on top of her lesbian kissing her and feeling up her breasts. Karina then takes off Mia's clothes revealing her breasts and takes off her own top revealing hers before Mia gets on top of her and kisses her for a while.
