Drawn to the Flame (1997)
A woman leaves the glitz and hedonist lifestyle of CA and returns home to settle her father's estate
The film has some erotic interludes as Jane encounters her past friends and lover (maybe lovers?). My wife saw this film on a business trip. The film is woman-plot oriented and the lead character is self-driven. She is not some wilting bimbo waiting to react to outside stimuli. Watch for the unexpected tub scene. Very steamy.
'Til There Was You (1997)
This is a BADly produced/written/acted/directed movie about two people who need to meet (and smoke).
'Til There was You is one of the worst films we've ever seen. It fails in every respect. Jeanne Tripplehorn was better (as an actress...) in Waterworld. In comparison, this film is Dungworld. When a character stumbles once, or even twice, in the course of a film, one can understand it. But Jeanne's character falls, trips, stumbles so often that she might have a bit of Jerry Lewis in her. In her defence, each (prat?) fall was probably blocked, choreographed, and rehearsed. And rehearsed. Although this is bad enough for a film, the actors (Dylan McDermott and Jeanne Tripplehorn) seem to spend most of the plot going "out for a smoke" or trying to find a place to smoke. If the film was a diatribe on having no place to smoke- Ok - BUT, it isn't.
However long this film runs, it is too long by 10 minutes past the running time.
Oh, Jeanne Tripplehorn, ALMOST acts in a public forum meeting. You ALMOST see her break life into the character. Oh, it's ALMOST as convincing as her scene yelling at Michael Douglas in Basic Instinct--hmm, on second thought, not really.
This is a film to avoid at all costs unless you need a cigarette and are trapped in nicotine addicts anonymous or forced to watch outtakes of HOOPER (Burt Reynolds). And even then, toss a coin or go to sleep.
Lake Consequence (1993)
Woman explores her sexuality with a sexy stranger, et. al.
Joan Severence is hot as a wife and mother who takes a chance and "broadens her horizons" by following a tree trimmer. Passion ensues with Billy Zane and another woman. The threesome will leave you breathless. It is also available in an "unrated" format. It adds slightly more steamy scenes, without being too too graphic (which is a shame). At the end of the film you will want (need) to have a partner nearby. Imagine loving bread, wlking by a bakery with fresh bread cooling in the window, and having fifty minutes to wait until opening.
