"Yes, it’s that “most wonderful time of the year” again. And unless the scent of pine turns you on or you’ve got a fetish for glittery objects (like the crazy queen who must have designed this year’s Macy’s window display after watching A Beautiful Mind on acid – there’s even a borderline creepy ode to the “diva Tinsel” stenciled on the glass. Check it out if you’re in NYC, it’s a must!), you’re probably feeling about as sexy as eggnog right now. But don’t despair. If Macy’s can turn a stalwart tradition into an LSD trip I can find the perversion in The Sound of Music. So without further adieu, here are some sexy, family-friendly suggestions for gathering around the DVD player with the clan. Heavenly Creatures Dashing Cary Grant stars in Henry Koster’s 1947 The Bishop’s Wife, about an angel sent down to earth to help a holy man (played by the delightful David Niven) build a church – and recover his shaken faith in the process.

"Sociopolitical Drama: Lior Ashkenazi, Walk On Water Who is Lior Ashkenazi? I have no idea. What I do know is that finally getting around to watching American-born Israeli director Eytan Fox’s 2004 Walk On Water, starring the incredible Israeli hunk Ashkenazi as a Mossad agent who finds himself intertwined in the lives of the grandson and granddaughter of a fugitive Nazi he’s assigned to capture, I realized I haven’t wanted to lay a movie star this bad since I first laid eyes on Daniel Craig’s 007. The sturdy-bodied, raven-haired Marlboro Man with magnetic eyes and a chin both chiseled and Travolta dimpled is so mesmerizing I can’t get his image out of my head – like a catchy techno tune stuck on endless repeat. The film itself is a fascinating character study for the first hour – until the characters leave the Holy Land for Berlin, wherein the plot descends into ludicrous soap opera melodrama complete with Deutsche drag queens and Jean-Claude Van Damme damage (and Bruce Springs ...

"Although this movie is Italian and looks great, it is a bit too vague for me to care about the story. Did I enjoy it? Yes, no question. A man, Visitor, so sexy that everyone around his is drawn to sexually crave his eternal presence is funny. This Visitor has some supernatural power, be it the power of God or the Devil. He effects the people negatively. Some are driven to lust, to starvation, but others to artistic production and elevation. They all strive to obtain him, or his powers, which leads me to believe that this movie is about playing God or trying to be God. It has to do with God, no question. But in what way in so vague that most interpretations will be acceptable. There are depressing parts but also moments of hope. Overall, it is depressing and seductive. The Tolstoy reference to his novella The Death of Ivan Ilyich is superfluous. The story reference does not give meaning to such a vague film, even if it why trying to have a similar message. The Vistor pretends or is ... "

"I’ve got an unlikely double feature planed for today–a press screening of the Leonardo DiCaprio-narrated environmental doc The 11th Hour, followed by a special screening of Pasolini’s Teorema at BAM–and it’ll keep me away from the computer for most of the afternoon. So here’s a round of things you really should read before checking out for the weekend: “I don’t like movies in which a strong, confident woman learns (often through humiliation) that her life simply isn’t going to be fulfilling until she finds herself a man and maybe a child or two. I don’t care if it’s Bette Davis in Now, Voyager or Diane Keaton in Baby Boom, it’s insulting to single women, and I was a single woman for long enough that I still feel insulted.” That’s the cold open to Jette Kernion’s No Reservations review at Cinematical. The Reeler’s Annaliese Griffin notes that this year’s lineup "
