"Andrew Sarris may be one of the most influential American film critics, but here’s a claim, located within his recent review of In Search of a Midnight Kiss, that may not hold up to some of his better-remembered theories: “Even when we confront 40-year-old virgins of either gender, movies refuse to show them compensating for the lack of a sexual partner. There is lasting shame involved in this spectacle.” Not to ever, ever profess superiority over Sarris, but I’ve nonetheless compiled today’s list as a way of proving the man wrong. There are actually tons and tons of masturbation scenes found in non-porn movies, from the low brow to the high brow, from as indirect as the boy wizard playing with his wand under the covers in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban to as direct as the non-simulated masturbation in Michael Winterbottom’s 9 Songs and John Cameron Mitchell’s Shortbus (which would probably feature my #1 pick, from the sound of it, if I ev "

"Released: September 15, 2006 (Milwaukee LGBT Film and Video Festival)Director: John Cameron Mitchell*****Shortbus seems to want to shock the audience before telling a coherent story. Writer/Director John Cameron Mitchell isn't as interested in connecting the various characters in the story as he is in displaying their sexual kinks. What purpose does Caleb play for James and Jamie? Why do James and Jamie really want a third person in their relationship? What, exactly, is Shortbus? What about Ceth, he didn't fall out of the sky? Why is James preparing to kill himself? Instead, the camera focuses on James jerking off into his own mouth, Jamie singing the national anthem into Ceth's ass and an orgy scene to rival any orgy scene in mainstream movie history.In a twist of fate, James and Jamie befriend their sex therapist (a term she doesn't like), a woman-Sophia-who has never orgasmed in her entire life. It's not for a lack of trying, since she and her husband have wildly imagina ... "

"More reviews from the binge.Starter for Ten is one of those coming of age stories where a boy becomes a man and finds out what kind of person he really is. This time, James McAvoy ("The Last King of Scotland") stars and the setting is 1985 Bristol University with McAvoy learning about himself as he tries to make it in college, falls in love and enters the college game show. It's pretty typical storywise, but the characters and entertaining and the dialogue is witty. Very fun.Connie and Carla has two women (Nia Vardalos, "My Big Fat Greek Wedding," and Toni Collette, "Evening") on the run from the mob who hide out as drag queens. It's not as bad as it sounds. There are several laugh out loud moments, musical numbers and, most importantly, David Duchovny ("Trust the Man"). Worth watching if it's on TV, but don't pay for it.I had a physical reaction of disgust to Live Free or Die. There's voiceover which is supposed to make us interested in the main character who h ...

"I think John Cameron Mitchell is a genius.When I watched this movie, it sucked me in. Like it made sex a less flesh feeling and more emotional,That's the main reason I liked it. AndAfter you watch the movie,go stand in front of a mirror naked,and you'll feel so much better about yourself.At least I did. "
