"When I heard about a singing nun who escapes a convent to look after orphaned children and helps them avoid capture by the Nazis, I thought it would be almost too sweet for my tastes. But the movie was so well done that I thoroughly enjoyed it. Ernest Lehman wrote the darling script which was beautifully directed by Robert Wise, who caught the majestic Alpine countryside. Lost of great songs. "

"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.

"The fanboys are so serious about The Dark Knight being the best film of 2008 that if the Academy snubs the comic-book adaptation for a Best Picture nomination, they’re liable to storm the Kodak Theatre on February 22 in protest. But why should anyone be worried that it won’t get the nomination? It wouldn’t be much of a coup for the year’s top-grossing blockbuster to be named one of the five Best Picture candidates. In fact, since the very first Academy Awards, the top award has often been handed out to films that were #1 at the box office in their respective year. And the last time it happened was as recent as 2003, with The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Thanks to popular and talented filmmakers like D.W. Griffith, Walt Disney, David Lean and Steven Spielberg, it’s hardly uncommon for films to make money and earn critical respect. But this isn’t an opportunity to spotlight overrated top-grossing Best Pictures like

"I've been combing through my personal DVD library lately for a couple of reasons. First, I've returned to theater after a few weeks' hiatus. I'm currently assistant stage managing Dreamgirls at the Grand Rapids Civic Theater and shortly after that will be stage managing The Sound of Music for the same house. (If you're in the area, come see them!) As such, I haven't had much time to go to the theater or go back to the video store lately. Second, I've run through my current store of TVD's, the ultimate time-filler for when free time miraculously appears (except for the Muppet Show, which I'm trying to savor because of the length of time it takes to release one of those seasons. But I digress). It's also that awkward time when I'm greatly anticipating the fall TV season and reading many books, but I have only so much patience for these activities, and I'm not reading anything that holds my interest for a long period of time. So, ... "

"From the outside, I fully expected to hate the High School Musicalseries. The premise sounded awful and the legions of teeny-bopper fans, who I couldn't distinguish from Hannah Montana enthusiasts, didn't help. But, I like musicals, so I hadn't completely ruled out giving them a chance. I'm glad that I caved. True, the musical numbers are filled with more cheese than all of France, but laughing at the ridiculousness of the hyper-reality (evident in all other musicals, though cranked to 11 in HSM) is the gateway into the nutty fun that these films provide. Once you let go after the first song of the first film, you're in and can start looking for the next impromptu sing-a-long. No one was bothered when the Von Trapp children sang about cuckoo clocks or when the Jets and Sharks danced around NYC as if it were one big playground. HSM is simply the evolution of the musical, and if it's a bit kid-centric and corny, then we nee "

"What's the AFI Project, you ask? For more information, or if you just enjoy my bemused ramblings, read here: http://www.spout.com/blogs/pip pin06/archive/2008/3/1/25756.a spx The Sound of Music is on the following AFI lists: The Original Top 100 (#55)100 Years...100 Passions (#27)100 Greatest Film Songs (#10 - "The Sound of Music;" #64 - "My Favorite Things;" #88 - "Do Re Mi")25 Greatest Movie Musicals (#4)100 Most Inspiring Movies (#41)The Revised Top 100 (#40) This is a bit of a psych-out. I didn't actually watch this again because I very very recently revisited this movie in another context. Rather than rewrite a whole other entry as to why this movie may or may not belong on those AFI lists, read the revisit blog entry I wrote here: http://www.spout.com/blogs/pip pin06/archive/2007/9/3/19315.a spx In fact, in general, if I have recently blogged about a movie, I am not going to rewrite a whole other blog entry about it. I see no use in re-spinning these wheels, but for the r ... "

"In the January 14th issue of Time, film critic Richard Corliss eschews reviewing the week's releases (it is January, after all) to instead pontificate on the state of the Oscars ("How to Save the Awards Shows"). As many are wont to do, Corliss offers his suggestion on how to improve the Oscars. He throws out the notions usually bandied about in bids for cheap audience thrills, and suggests something that he considers self-evidently simple: give the awards to popular movies.Now, with all respect to Mr. Corliss, I agree that the Oscars don't have the finest track record for nominations, let alone for awards. But if I may be granted my say, the problem with the list is that it usually slants too commercial. Does anyone really think The Departed was the best picture of 2006? Or Crash the best picture of 2005? Or Million Dollar Baby the best picture of 2004? Or... well, you get the idea.Granted, these are not bad films. (Okay, Crash "
