The fabulous Baker boys: Jack and Frank Baker are stuck in a rut. Playing the same tired tunes night after night, the brothers are in desperate need of change. So when they meet a sultry songbird named Susie Diamond, their future starts to sparkle. But when life in the limelight brings old rivalries to the surface as Jack and Susie's relationship heats up, the Baker boys soon find their act - and their lives - growing more entertaining than either of them may be able to handle!The age of innocence: A ravishing romance about three wealthy New Yorkers caught in a tragic love triangle, the ironically-titled story chronicles the grandeur and hypocrisy of high society in the 1870s. At the center of the film is Newland Archer (Daniel Day-Lewis), an upstanding attorney who secretly longs for a more passionate life. Engaged to the lovely but ordinary socialite May Welland (Winona Ryder), Newland resigns himself to a life of quiet complacency. But when May's unconventional cousin returns to New York amid social and sexual scandal, Newland risks everything for a chance at true love.Cheri: The sensual story of an extraordinary love affair between beautiful retired courtesan La (Michelle Pfeiffer) and exquisitely handsome and cheeky Cheri (Rupert Friend). The spoilt son of her old colleague and rival, Madame Peloux (Kathy Bates), La sets out to educate the boy in the ways of love and they embark on a journey steeped in lust, jealousy and desire.
