Fall's Leading Men

The Guys Have It

Of course you love the actual men in your life: the husband, the boyfriend, Mr. UPS. But you'll be thrilled to learn that some generally less accessible fellows have quality time to offer you this season. You'll get two hours or so. Alone in the dark. All you need is a movie ticket. Enjoy.
