OK, let's get it straight (no pun intended) first. We all know what movie this is. But boy, they have some very hot men here. And Michael Lucas is simply a treat. His delicious eyes, body (and oh, that lips) are simply mesmerizing. Having said that, the other men are also great. It's not just a tiring xxx movie.

Dangerous Liaisons Dangerous Liaisons is a Chinese film by Hur Jin-ho based on the novel with the same title by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos. It has been adapted five times to date, including the eponymous Hollywood film (1988) and Untold Scandal from South Korea (2003).

Rather, the stories and characters make the movie quite interesting to watch. Or to rewind. Surprisingly, the acting is not so bad. No Oscar-material, but it's above my expectation. Worth every penny.

Can't wait to get the 'sequel'.

'Valmont' is a 1989 film based on the novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses by Choderlos de Laclos, as well, of course, the better-known film Dangerous Liaisons starring Glenn Close and John Malkovich. Here, Annette Benning is the Merteuil who is stunned to learn that her lover, Gercourt (Jeffrey Jones) is betrothed to the fifteen-year-old virginal Cecile (Fairuza Balk). She makes a bet with her Casanova-like friend Valmont (Colin Firth) that he can seduce Cecile so that on her wedding night, she is not a virgin, thus giving Merteuil revenge against Gercourt. Of course, the best-laid plans and all that - Cecile is in love with her music teacher (Henry Thomas), and Merteuil aids and abets the romance as much as possible.

But things become more and more complicated, with Valmont, the eternal playboy, actually falling in love himself. And as the story says, once you fall in love, your power is gone.

This film is far superior to the more famous one. Forman is a fantastic director, and the cast warms up what is basically a cold, calculated story and really makes you care.

Annette Bening is more full-dimensional than Close's Martueil - she's beautiful, smart, and she's so sweet and lies so beautifully one has no idea what she's really like. Firth's Valmont is far more believable than Malkoitch's egomaniacal portrayal.

Henry Thomas is the desperately in love music teacher - it's good casting, but he comes off as too modern. It's a minor point because the entire cast is wonderful, including Fabia Drake as Madame de Rosemond, Sian Philips, Meg Tilly, and Fairuza Balik. The film is beautiful to look at, sumptuously and carefully produced. It's a sad case of being the second film version out when the first was better marketed with a more American cast.

Nevertheless, it's not too late to discover this gem. The only reason I rate this movie as generously as six stars ('forgettable, plus') is Annette Bening.

Would that she had been cast in Dangerous Liaisons, another adaptation, released around the same time, of the same book. Download cms software for avtech dvr philippines tv. She brings a winning charm to the depraved Marquise de Merteuil that makes the character's personal and social power, as well as her motivations as an everywoman, much more believable and understandable. Other than that, the story was absolutely botched by just how 'freely adapted' it was from Chorderos de Laclos's brilliant novel. The screen writers changed the ending of de Laclos's story so much that the film becomes a vapid period romance. It loses everything that is so searing and moving about the book. Madame de Tourvel was also badly written.
