SWF meets Fatal Attraction, January 30, 2002
Zebra Lounge (Canadian, directed by Karo Skogland) starts out like soft core porn and ends like a Hitchcock thriller. Alan (Cameron Daddo) and Wendy Barnet (Brandy Ledford) are trying to revitalize their marriage. They flirt with the idea of swinging (gee, there's a great way to get your marriage back on track!) and meet with Jack (Stephen Baldwin) and Louise (Kristy Swanson) at the Zebra Lounge. Initially uncertain, the Barnets end up spending a glitter-night with Jack and Louise who seem to have a lot more money and access to hot, grown-up toys than any of us should have. The Barnets find this little foray does get them back into each other, and no more togetherness with others is needed--too bad they forgot to tell Jack and Louise . . .From here the plot line goes down the path of films like Fatal Attraction, SWF, and (going way back) The Hitcher. This is the "I want to be your friend and I'm going to be your friend even if I have to kill you to do it" story line. Jack and Louise intrude in the Barnet's life in numerous and scary ways. Some is believable, other parts stretch. The acting is quite good, production values excellent. As long as you don't think about the details too much, this is a pretty good flick.

Cheap Thrills...., January 13, 2003
Alan (Cameron Daddo) and Wendy Barnet (Brandy Ledford) are your normal, average couple who have succumbed to sexual boredom. One day, while visiting a sex shop, Alan buys a swingers' magazine. Of course, there is some initial hesitation, but eventually curiosity gets the best of them and they place an ad. They receive a response from a couple Jack (Stephen Baldwin) and Louise (Kristy Swanson) Bauer--who seem irresistibly charming and very good-looking. After a call from Alan, they decide to meet at a local bar, aptly titled the "Zebra Lounge". A few drinks, and Wendy is feeling a little hesistant. I mean is this really what she wants? Is this going to save their marriage? The plot is superficially thin and the acting is so-so. But you can see where this is heading, and that is part of the fun. So needless to say, the Barnet couple give in to temptation--and have a wild time with the Bauers. After satisfying their curiosity, the Barnets are ready to throw in the towel and call it quits. But the Bauers are not so ready to be tossed to the side!! They had plans on a long-term meaningful relationship! And that is where the PROBLEMS start! This movie is okay, especially if you want a cheap thrill, have nothing else to do, or feel like watching some soft-porn with plenty of simulated acts. Just be sure to put the kids to bed first.
