Fourplay -- Tales of Sexual Intimacy

Directed by indie film provocateur Kyle Henry, Fourplay is four intimate tales of sexual triumph and travail set in four American cities. In Skokie, a closeted woman’s crush on her minister’s wife erupts during a weekend of dog sitting. In Austin, a young couple discovers a kinky way to keep their relationship alive. In Tampa, a man with an extremely small penis finds his nirvana in a public restroom. And in San Francsico, a cross-dressing sex-worker faces a challenging assignment with a quadriplegic man, arranged by the client’s wife.

A quartet of stories in which characters’ lives are changed by unusual sexual encounters, Fourplay frames desire through themes of connection, eroticism, shame, fear, love, spiritual healing and self-worth.

The film got official selection in Cannes, Sundance and Outfest and won 'the best narrative short' award in gay & lesbian film festival 'Newfest'. Here's the film's official website:  fourplayfilm.com

Emperor

Peter Webber, Director of 'Hannibal Rising' (2007) and 'Girl With The Pearl Earring' (2003) delivers 'Emperor' opening tomorrow in theatres. It's a gripping tale of love and honor -- inspired by true events -- forged between fierce enemies of war. The film tells the story of the bold and secret moves that won the peace in the shadows of post-war Japan.

Starring Academy Award-winner Tommy Lee Jones, Matthew Fox, and newcomer Eriko Hatsune, EMPEROR brings to life the American occupation of Japan in the perilous and unpredictable days just after Emperor Hirohito's World War II surrender.

As General Douglas MacArthur (Jones) suddenly finds himself the de facto ruler of a foreign nation, he assigns an expert in Japanese culture - General Bonner Fellers (Fox), to covertly investigate the looming question hanging over the country: should the Japanese Emperor, worshiped by his people but accused of war crimes, be punished or saved?

The film is rated PG-13 for violent content, brief strong language and smoking.
