Appetite for seduction
Chicagoans speculate on how seemingly innocent foods could be beneficial in the bedroom.
Kay-kay Valentino, 18
Halsted Street and Buckingham Place
Ever combined food and sex?
Whipped cream! I put a line down the person's whole body. I started licking from the chest and I worked myself on down. When you use whipped cream, you always have to use a cherry by the nice and wet "grand prize." You just put a lot of whipped cream around it, and then, bam, with the cherry on top!
I have some props here and I was hoping…
I'm going to need a man first.
You'll have to work on that. But, in the meantime, consider this glazed doughnut.
Woo, yes! That is sickening, in a good way. Instead of tying his mouth up, I'd stick a doughnut up in his mouth. Then you could bite your lovely doughnut and maybe get a kiss or two.
Okay, how about this pineapple?
You could put a pineapple ring around everything you see. More fantastic!

Russell J. Yost
"Communication is a two way street between marketers and consumers. Only after carefully listening to their target audience's needs, wants and habits can marketers truly create an integrated campaign to draw their audience's attention, create an interest for the product or service, and facilitate the desired outcome."
Integrated Marketing Communications is rooted in an organization's value proposition. Effective communication campaigns begin by clearly defining a target audience, understanding the benefits and values the product or service offers this audience and how the organization can serve their audience's needs better than anyone else. In the public, private or not-for-profit sectors, managers of integrated communications are charged with responsibility to communicate these benefits to the marketplace as clearly and creatively as possible.
New media tools provide a more targeted method to reach customers and clients. Organizations have the opportunity to "tell their story" by directly engaging and conversing with consumers.
When it comes to communications, the customer has always been and will always be the boss. New technologies make it even easier for them to close the feedback loop with marketers and advertisers. The most effective campaigns are developed by advertisers who pay attention.
Russell Yost is the Director of Marketing for Willamette University's Atkinson Graduate School of Management. He is based at Willamette's new Portland Center, coordinating all public relations, marketing and advertising efforts for the school, as well as writing articles and designing and updating the School's website.
Russell previously served as an Account Manager for the Statesman Journal, Gannett, Inc.'s subsidiary in Salem and was a Legislative Assistant in both the Oregon House of Representatives and the Oregon Senate. He has also worked at a number of public relations firms in Oregon and Washington. He currently serves on the Board of the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) Oregon Capital Chapter (Secretary and President-Elect) and the Board of the American Marketing Association (AMA) – Oregon Chapter (Professional Development Co-Chair). He completed the Leadership Portland program in 2007 and serves as a co-chair for the "Cultural Arts and Creative Economy" program day. He is also serves as the Publicity Chair for the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life of Portland and volunteers for Loaves and Fishes, the local Meals on Wheels program.
Russell spent a semester studying international business and global marketing in Copenhagen, Denmark. He has received two Public Relations Spotlight Awards for his campaigns designed for the Willamette MBA. He also received a "Gold Award" from the Admissions Marketing Report for the "Get a Real MBA" campaign in 2008-2009. He was recognized as the Atkinson Graduate School's Administrator of the Year in 2008.
Russell enjoys running, traveling (favorite spots: Hawaii, Paris, San Francisco), biking, hiking, watching basketball (especially Gonzaga) and wine tasting. His favorite vacation spot is the Big Island of Hawaii, where most of his family originated. He loves living in Portland and experiencing the city's many unique neighborhoods.

Ask Nick: Optimistic about Iglesias
Have a Submit your question here to be considered for the next edition of Ask Nick. |
A nice variety of questions from fans across Red Sox world. Some optimism has returned after an impressive 8-2 win on Opening Day but there are still a lot of issues on your mind, including David Ortizs health, Jacoby Ellsburys future, Jackie Bradley Jr.'s arrival, Jose Iglesiass plight, and retired numbers.
On this off-day in New York, lets get right to your questions:
What do the Red Sox do if Jose Iglesias shows that he can actually hit? He had a go showing in the opener (three hits) and maybe he is actually starting to show improvement at the plate. Would the Sox really send him back to Triple A even though this is exactly what they wanted? But at the same time they cannot have so much money in Stephen Drew sitting on the bench.
-- Randy, La Canada Flintridge, California
As you know, my opinion is he should be the permanent shortstop, period, end of story. If he beats out infield hits and bunts and move runners along, with that defense he may be the best shortstop defense in baseball why would you make the change? The Red Sox dont need to worry about paychecks and who is making what. They need the best players on the field. Drew is a very good player when healthy, but I know hes not better than Iglesias defensively. If you need more offense from your shortstop then your lineup probably isnt that good.
Only one game has gone by but John Farrell has already changed what we expected from the bullpen. What does it mean having Junichi Tazawa be the setup man while Andrew Bailey come in before him for one batter? Should we not look into this too deeply as it is one game, or could Farrell be doing something like having Bailey be the any important situation guy where having a closer pitch there would be best, yet also having a dominant set-up man in the eighth?
-- Randy, La Canada Flintridge, California
Normally I try to avoid answering two questions from the same person, but in this case I'll make an exception because this is a great topic. It was interesting to see the sequence used in the bullpen in Game 1. It appears theyre trying to legitimize Andrew Baileys role, pretty much giving him the role that Daniel Bard used to have where he comes in in a big situation late in the game, whether its the sixth or seventh or eighth inning. Tazawa has been nothing but consistent and dominating with 96 mph heat. Im sure there will be mixing and matching going on depending on whos hitting, but we thought the bullpen would be a strength. After one game, affirmed.
Since Bradley is starting the season with the Red Sox, I am reading he needs to be in the minors 20 days for the team to keep the extra year of control. Is there anything stopping them from just sending him down on off days during the year to accrue those 20 days?
-- Tony, Salado, Texas
It has to be 20 consecutive days. If he slumps a little they may do it after David Ortiz returns.
What is your scouting report on Daniel Bard for this spring? I was surprised that he didn't make the final roster, and expected him to be right back in his old setup role by mid season.
-- Stephen, Niceville, Florida
I asked John Farrell the question of whether he was surprised that Bard couldnt get straightened out with a full spring training. You could tell there was some surprise. But they sent him a message by optioning him to Portland that his problems arent a quick fix. He needs to get his act together mechanically and re-commit to the delivery that made him so successful. The decision to make him a starter is maybe one of the single worst decisions made. They should have listened to Bobby Valentine and kept him in the bullpen.
I asked earlier in the preseason about an Andrew Bailey/Rick Porcello swap but since Porcello has pitched like a five-year veteran with great stuff that is probably off. Would the Sox revisit the idea with the Tigers, since Bruce Rondon got sent down, and maybe swap a Drew Smyly in the deal?
-- Mark, Pasadena, California
Porcello has pitched well so I doubt that they would entertain a deal. If they have closer issues by the trading deadline, I could see it. But the Red Sox, who seemed to have a lot of depth with their relievers, saw that diminish a tad when Franklin Morales and Craig Breslow came up lame and Bard imploded. The Red Sox have seven good relievers right now. Well see if that continues.
Why are so many saying that the Yankees should be in the mix for the playoffs? Is it because they've done it so many times for so many years? Look at the team for what it actually is: old, injury-plagued, and missing four major pieces that saved their face last year? (Rafael Soriano, Nick Swisher, Eric Chavez, and Raul Ibanez.) Don't even get me started on their catching position.
-- Jason, Los Angeles
I think their salvation is their pitching staff. Its very solid. CC Sabathia didnt look that great Opening Day, throwing only 91, but hes done that before where his velocity gradually builds up as he gets more starts. He only allowed four runs so if thats a bad day Im sure hell get better. Any team with four All-Stars out of the lineup is going to feel it. They will. Little things show up, like two of their guys taking called third strikes on pitches right down the middle of the plate. But I do believe they should stick to putting their best players on the field rather than this right-left lineups. Their righthanded lineup stinks. They need Travis Hafners power and Lyle Overbays stick.
In the Yawkey years the Red Sox had a set policy for retiring numbers -- play on the team 10+ years, make the Hall of Fame, finish career in Boston. They made exceptions with Carlton Fisk and more recently with Johnny Pesky. This policy seems to be a thing of the past so looking at the list of players to follow which are likely to have their number retired in the future and which number will be the next one to be added to the facade? Roger Clemens (21), Wade Boggs (26), Jason Varitek (33), David Ortiz (34), Pedro Martinez (45), Tim Wakefield (49).
-- Patrick, Amherst
The policy should be what makes the most sense. Wade Boggs should be the first since hes already in the Hall of Fame as a Red Sox. If were into this sophomoric "Oh he played for the Yankees garbage," were really being petty. When Pedro gets inducted into the Hall after 2014, 45 should be retired. Clemens still has the steroid stigma around him, so I dont think that will happen anytime soon, but I do respect the fact the team does not hand out No. 21. They should have the same policy with No. 26 in respect to Boggs. I have problems retiring numbers of players who werent Hall of Fame players. Varitek, Ortiz and Wakefield fall short.
It looks to me like Daniel Bard has Steve Blass disease. Do you have any thoughts about that possibility?
-- Chuck, Southington, Connecticut
Dont know. Bard is around the plate. Blass was nowhere near it, so I always associate Blass Disease with complete inability to throw it near the plate. Dont think he has that, but he definitely has something close to that.
If Jon Lester and Clay Buchholz are back to their old form, I think that the Red Sox have an edge over Baltimore (comparable lineups, but better pitching) and Tampa Bay (comparable pitching, but better hitting). With New York hobbled by injuries and age, is it reasonable to think that the Red Sox have a good chance to finish second in the division? Have you revised your outlook for the team after witnessing a pretty impressive spring?
-- Ben, Phoenix
Yes, I revised from fifth to fourth. Maybe itll be better. As you pointed out, if Lester and Buchholz are nails, thats a great sign. But then you have the issues of Felix Doubront, Ryan Dempster and John Lackey. Thats three more guys who have to keep the team in the game every fifth day. Still a lot of things need to come together. Cant get too crazy about one Opening Day victory against a Yankee team that had four starters out of the lineup. Then again, it was an impressive win.
I remember when playing hurt was a badge of honor, respected by teammates fans and managers. When did that change to "we don't want him back until he's 100 percent?" What I'm leading to, of course, is why David Ortiz can't DH with sore (not structurally damaged) heels? It seems ridiculous. He's not in the field. He's not stealing bases. Why isn't he being pushed? What a terrible example for younger players. Ortiz at 75 percent is better than the alternatives.

Usually I would agree with that. But in his case, you dont want to do anything to that would potentially damage the Achilles to the point of rupture. While the current inflammation is in the heel area and not the Achilles, you have to be careful. He is 37 years old. The doctors have told me, this is a sensitive area. I dont think theres a young player on the Red Sox who doesnt respect David Ortiz. Criticism of him is so misguided.
Do you think Victor Martinez would be available in a trade? He could DH if Ortiz is out for a while and help out at first base and catching
-- Lou, Chester, Virginia
Love Victor Martinez. And so do the Tigers. You can always trade for anyone if the price is right. But doubt Ortiz will be out all season.
Wouldn't this be a good time for the Red Sox to abandon "Sweet Caroline" since the sellout streak is expected to end soon. It may even generate some interest in picking a replacement.
-- Patrick, Livermore Falls, Maine
Well, Pat, while I receive more and more sentiment about killing Sweet Caroline I think there would be an uproar if that happened. I just remember one day in spring training when the song wasnt played fans actually looked up to the press box and with their hands up in the air, distraught.
If Will Middlebrooks is going to stick at third base and the Red Sox love the defense of Iglesias, proven he can hit , then where does that leave Xander Bogaerts?
Has anyone talked about moving either Middlebrooks to first and play Bogaerts at third? Or moving Boegarts to first, keeping Middlebrooks at third, Iglesias at short, and Dustin Pedroia at second.
-- Don, Rensselaer, New York
If Iglesias starts to hit, I cant see any reason to move him from that position, so theyll have to find a new sport for Bogaerts and third base is the place. Yes, Middlebrooks could easily move to first base. No one in the organization will come close to saying thats how its going to go, but thats just a common sense look at it will probably go.
What are the chance that Jacoby Ellsbury will ask for a midseason trade to avoid the potential qualifying offer and resulting draft-pick forfeiture that hindered Scott Boras clients Michael Bourn and Kyle Lohse this past offseason?
-- Kelly, Hillsboro, Oregon
None. He likes playing in Boston. Whether the offer he receives from Boston is to his liking is another matter. He can ask for a trade, but why would Boston have to accommodate him?
Is Bradley a good bunter?
-- Allen, Hays, Kansas
Of course. Theres nothing he cant do.

Posted: Jan 28, 2013 9:00 PM by John Blackstone - CBS News
(CBS News) CHINO HILLS, Calif. - Any child born in the United States is automatically an American citizen. Mexican mothers have, for years, crossed the border to give birth here for that reason.
Maternity tourism in America has also caught on now with mothers in China.
Ada Lin is 4 months old and the only American citizen in her family. Her parents, who agreed to speak with CBS News if they could remain anonymous, traveled from China to Los Angeles, so Ada could be born in America and claim U.S. citizenship.
"I want her to live a happy life" her father said.
The family is back in China now. They are among thousands of Chinese who have become so called "birth tourists" staying in maternity hotels near Los Angeles. These hotels are often single-family homes in quiet neighborhoods.
At least two are in Chino Hills, California, where residents are annoyed by the frequent comings and goings.
Chino Hills resident Rossana Mitchell said: "When people think of the American dream, they're not thinking about birth tourism. They're thinking about people who come here, immigrate here, work hard, pay their taxes, become citizens and become Americans."
Ada Lin's family paid $27,000 to a Chinese agency with a website that advertises the advantages of giving birth in America. The agency helps arrange U.S. tourist visas, lodging, and medical care.
The practice does not violate federal immigration laws, but it gives Chinese parents the option down the road to have their American-born children attend U.S. universities, or live here.
The Lins said having Ada in the United States allowed them to get around China's "one child" policy. It restricts most women from giving birth to more than one child in China. The Lins say that restriction does not apply to Chinese that give birth overseas.
One hilltop home was converted into a maternity hotel with 17 bedrooms. It is said to have housed as many as 30 pregnant Chinese women at a time. It apparently didn't break immigration laws, but local officials closed it down because it violated zoning and building codes.

OSHA investigators, the State Fire Marshall and Uintah County Sheriff's Office are all trying to figure out why the tank blew up. ABC 4 Utah is told the responders have dealt with several issues with these oil tanks before, but they said it's nothing like this.
If you watch the video, you can see the damage done to the 400 barrel oil barrel tank near Roosevelt. Tuesday night the tank exploded and it cost a construction worker his life.
According to the Uintah County Sheriff's Office, the blast killed 28-year-old Tyson Boren of Neola.
"Those tanks are pretty large, and to knock one of those over is, you know, it had to be a sizeable explosion," said Corp. Brian Fletcher, Uintah Co. Sheriff's Office.
ABC 4 Utah is told Boren was a contract welder for working for Newfield Exploration, an oil drilling company with an active drilling site in the Uintah Basin.
Boren and two other men were on site supposedly working on the tank, when it blew. Boren died. 32-year-old Rusty Harris, a Newfield employee, was hurt, and a water truck driver received no injuries.
The sheriff's office said the blast was hot enough to melt metal. Right now investigators on scene are still trying to determine what caused the tanker to explode.
"They would like to know how it happened so they can possibly prevent this or take further safety measures down the road to maybe help somebody else out," said Fletcher.
So far it's unclear how long it may take to determine what happened. But Rusty Harris, the other man hurt from the explosion is going to be okay. ABC 4 Utah is told he suffered non-life threatening injuries.

Tennis wannabe prepares for a shot at the big names
8:00am Sunday 27th October 2013 in Sport
Mitcham-based tennis wannabe Lize Heuvling could be facing some of the sport's greats next month when she competes in the Necker Cup Tournament.
The pro-am competition, held on Richard Branson's luxury island home, kicks off on November 12 and Heuvling will be there.
She won her place via a Virgin Active tennis competition that saw more than 1,000 players take to courts up and down the country.
Now Heuvling could be facing the likes of Rafa Nadal or Stefan Edberg in the south Pacific seas.
She said: "When Virgin Active announced the Necker Cup competition, I leapt at the chance to be involved. It's been a fantastic experience, from start to finish.
"Winning the chance to play against some of the world's top tennis players, on Sir Richard Branson's island, is a lifelong dream and ambition. For a tennis fan, it doesn't get better than this."

If you can get past the dated decor then the food is superb. Chicken n sweetcorn soup perfect, lemon chicken was really natural ( no fake colours) and chicken cashewnuts was really tastey!

The food was tasty and well presented. The resturant was quite empty which was a shame as it deserved to be full. I guess they do well with their take away.
Starters OK good sized portions. Crispy duck very poor not crispy,tasted cooked and reheated . Sechzaun prawns not pleasant. Good sized prawns but coated in synthetic sauce. Did not have wine we ordered so they went to Tescos and bought some and still charged us restaurant prices which we declined to pay. Have eaten in much better Chinese . Would... More
We went to Sugar Cane in Yeovil to celebrate our 39yrs anniversary. What a disaster, we walked in being the only onces in the place, it did start filling up little later.

We went to this restaurant after seeing the great reviews on here. Unfortunately we had a different experience! Food was fantastic but took a very long time to arrive, as it did for the whole restaurant. The service was friendly when there but seemed to disappear to the kitchen a lot. Would return again if I had the time to... More
We chose this place after looking at good reviews on trip advisor. First impressions weren't good due to the chintzy 1980's decor with pink tablecloths, however the staff were friendly and we ordered away. Well our impression was changed when the food arrived, absolutely fantastic! Some of the best Chinese food I've had, so don't be put off when you... More

Indian and Himalayan Art The Fruit and Leaf of a Fig Tree Made in Calcutta (present-day Kolkata), West Bengal, India, Asiac. 1795-1800 Artist/maker unknown, India Opaque watercolor on European paper Currently not on view 2006-53-131 Bequest of Dean Walker, 2006 |
LabelToward the end of the eighteenth century, before the advent of photography, British patrons in India commissioned Indian painters to make images of local flora and fauna. Following the precedents of British wildlife and botanical illustration, these images document species with scientific precision. Usually the subject floats on a plain paper background and often, as here, shows several stages or aspects in the same illustration. Written in English on the reverse of this unfinished painting is "Ficus Macrophylla, from Napaul." Common in central and western Nepal as well as other parts of Asia, Ficus macrophylla bears fruit in clusters on spurs that protrude from the trunk and larger branches. While it is most often used as fodder, its fruit is edible and its large leaves have a variety of medicinal applications and serve as lovely dishes for festivals. |

This adaptation of Ayn Rand's 1957 objectivist novel Atlas Shrugged tells the first installment in the story of a dystopian future in which a collectivist society has forced the great thinkers of the world to go on strike, leaving the functioning world without scientists, engineers, philosophers, or artists. Set against this stark backdrop, a railroad heiress named Dagny Taggart tries to bring her failing company back from the brink with the development of a new alloy to repair breaks in the lines, and hopefully calm the business' vital corporate partnership with an oil company. But with the endless bureaucracy of an evil and corrupt government fighting her at every turn, and her own inept brother battling her for control, Dagny soon finds that in order to set things right in her world, things must be set right in the world at large. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Filmmaking duo Joel and Ethan Coen write, produce, and direct this period black comedy set in 1967 concerning a Midwestern physics professor whose staid and stable life slowly begins to unravel after his wife announces that she's leaving him. As if the failure of his longtime marriage wasn't enough for Larry Gopnik (Tony-nominated Michael Stuhlbarg) to contend with, now his socially inept brother refuses to move out of the house as well. Larry is a modest man of science. Up to this point, his life has been uneventful at best, but things are about to get interesting. When his wife, Judith, announces that she is leaving him to move in with his smug colleague Sy Ableman, Larry does his best to contend with his failed marriage while barely tolerating his unemployable brother, Arthur, who appears to have grown roots on Larry's couch. Meanwhile, Larry's son, Danny, is getting into trouble at Hebrew school, and his daughter, Sarah, is stealthily snatching money from his wallet so she can afford a nose job. As Judith and Sy merrily begin making plans for their new life of domestic bliss together, Larry begins receiving a series of anonymous letters from someone who seems intent on sabotaging his chance for tenure at the university. To further complicate matters, a graduate student with failing grades is attempting to bribe the professor while simultaneously threatening him with a defamation lawsuit. Larry is in some serious need of equilibrium, though it's hard to focus on getting your life in order when your beautiful neighbor insists on sunbathing in the nude just outside your window. Perhaps by seeking the advice of three trusted rabbis, Larry can finally learn to cope with his afflictions and become a genuine mensch. A Serious Man is the second in a two-picture deal that the siblings made with Focus Features and Working Title. The first film in the deal, entitled Burn After Reading and starring Brad Pitt, George Clooney, and Frances McDormand, was released nationwide in September 2008. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Filmmaker Terry Zwigoff and comic artist and screenwriter Daniel Clowes, who collaborated for the acclaimed 2001 comedy-drama Ghost World, team up once again for this offbeat satire. Jerome (Max Minghella) is an aspiring artist who arrives at a prestigious East Coast art institute to study. While Jerome enjoys daydreams of becoming the best-respected painter on Earth and winning the hearts of his female classmates, he soon learns the sad truth -- his "cool artist" act is old hat in the big city, and as he's surrounded by every art school cliché on Earth, practically nothing about him stands out. Determined to be recognized whatever the consequences, Jerome maps out a bizarre plan to become famous that has some unexpected consequences. Loosely adapted from a story in Clowes' comic book Eightball, Art School Confidential also stars John Malkovich, Jim Broadbent, Anjelica Huston, and Sophia Myles. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

An old-fashioned Jewish father vows to bring his stubborn family together after being slipped a dose of ecstasy during the annual Passover celebration in director Salvador Litvak's psychedelic Seder comedy. Family patriarch Ira Stuckman (Michael Lerner) has taken a few tips from his hard-nosed father, Arthur (Jack Klugman), when it comes to matters of the family. A strict disciplinarian with little tolerance for tomfoolery, stubborn Ira is insistent that the whole family come together for the Seder feast despite their lingering disagreements. When Ira's son, Zeke (Ben Feldman), drops a hit of ecstasy into his father's meal in hopes of opening the old man's eyes up to a "new perspective," the once curmudgeonly father turns suddenly touchy-feely before insisting upon on ushering in a new era of forgiveness among the notoriously disagreeable clan. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A conservative politician who believes he can count on his family for support discovers his son is not the man he thought he was in this drama. Jack Kray (Michael Lerner) is a United States senator from the South whose right-wing views have earned him the nickname "the Nazi from North Carolina." Jack is running for reelection and is looking for support wherever he can get it; told he needs to increase his appeal with younger voters, Jack tries to persuade his son Henry (Matt Newton), a college student, to make a few campaign stops with him. While Jack's wife (and Henry's mom), Eunice (Karen Allen), tries to convince her husband this isn't a good idea, Jack refuses to take no for an answer from Henry. But there's something Jack doesn't know about his son -- Henry is gay, and while he only shares this secret with a small handful of trusted friends and lovers, he can't bring himself to support his father's anti-gay "family values" platform. However, Henry's sexual preference may not stay a secret for long -- Henry has hooked up with Anthony (Jack Noseworthy), a student political activist who wants a long-term relationship with Henry and refuses to play coy about it, while some of Henry's other partners have come forward about his homosexuality. Poster Boy was originally announced as a project for director Herbert Ross, who died before the film went into production; Douglas Keeve took over as director, but resigned before shooting was completed, so editor Zac Tucker completed the movie and received sole screen credit. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Leonardo Ricagni, director of the 1998 Uruguayan comedy El Chevrolé, helmed this straight-to-video ensemble crime thriller, in which the main character is a bag of money. Initially belonging to a casino on an Indian reservation, The Chief (Russell Means) hires The Hitman (Chris O'Donnell) to track the bag down when it turns up missing. As The Hitman gets closer and closer to finding it, the bag of dough passes through the hands of several other nameless characters, including The Waitress, played by Rachael Leigh Cook, The Drifter, played by Jeremy Davies, and The Sheriff, played by Keith David. Before hitting American video-store shelves in 2003, 29 Palms screened at the München Fantasy Filmfest and the Cologne Fantasy Film Festival, both in Germany.

From the makers of The Alien Saga comes The Omen Legacy, an AMC documentary covering all four films in the thrilling series on the coming of the antichrist. The special follows the filmmakers as they break box-office figures with the first film, only to see each one after become more commercially and creatively stunted (the nail in the coffin being the fourth made-for-television Omen IV: The Awakening). Featuring interviews with director Richard Donner, producer Harvey Bernhard, and writer David Seltzer, among others, Legacy offers theological dissections of the series biblical groundwork, along with rare behind-the-scenes stories of the infamous Omen "curse." Included are most of the graphic, visceral kills from each film, making it also a breezy best of for fans of the more grisly scenes. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, Rovi

My Favorite Martian stars Jeff Daniels as Tim O'Hara, once a newspaper man and now a struggling television producer in Santa Barbara. Tim has a crush on vapid news reporter Brace Channing (Elizabeth Hurley) while overlooking his feelings for Lizzie (Daryl Hannah), a technician working at the station. Driving home one night, Tim wanders upon the crash landing of a spaceship from Mars. The Martian inside (Christopher Lloyd) has come to Earth searching for a fellow Martian who had been lost here 35 years ago. After the crash, he hides on the beach and shrinks his spaceship to the size of a toy to avoid detection; Tim finds the ship anyway, and takes it home. With little choice, the Martian, aided by his sentient and very neurotic spacesuit, follows Tim home and reveals himself. Tim sees the alien as his ticket to the big time, but the Martian, now masquerading as Tim's Uncle Martin (thanks to some Martian gum that transforms his appearance to that of a human) thwarts Tim at every turn. Just as he gets the video he needs for his story, O'Hara develops a friendship with his planetary neighbor and new "Uncle." The two suddenly find they are racing against the the clock -- a government team, led by a wacky scientist (Wallace Shawn), hunts Martin down, and the spaceship (a rental) is on a timed sequence to self-destruct if it cannot be repaired in time. Along the way, Tim loses his infatuation with Brace and finds his true feelings for the loyal Lizzie. Martin might also find his lost friend on Earth, just as he has found new ones. ~ Ron Wells, Rovi

Black-and-white Sven Nykvist cinematography highlights this Woody Allen comedy about fame and obscurity among Manhattan celebs. Journalist Lee Simon (Kenneth Branagh), makes a play for actress Nicole Oliver (Melanie Griffith), subject of his current story. Lee is separated from his wife Robin (Judy Davis), a schoolteacher who's totally lost and insecure -- until TV producer Tony Gardella (Joe Mantegna) becomes fascinated with her. Concerned about her possible sexual inadequacies, Robin recruits a prostitute (Bebe Neuwirth) to instruct her on oral sex techniques. On the town, Lee becomes transfixed by a blond supermodel (Charlize Theron), who teases him throughout the night, eventually dropping him before they get home. Lee's relationship with book editor Bonnie (Famke Janssen) is solid, and she's due to move into his place. However, he suddenly becomes romantically involved with waitress-actress Nola (Winona Ryder), complicating his agreement with Bonnie. Lee's efforts to sell his screenplay take him to the Stanhope Hotel, where he arrives just as spoiled young movie star Brandon Darrow (Leonardo DiCaprio) is fighting with his girlfriend (Gretchen Mol), trashing his hotel room, and insulting hotel staffers. When Darrow and his entourage head off to Atlantic City, Lee tags along, but as life swirls about him, a dismal dawn awaits. In addition to the Stanhope, locations included Barbetta's Restaurant, Ziegfeld Theatre, Soho's Serge Soroko Gallery, Flamingo Club, Jean-Georges Restaurant, and the Trump Marina Hotel and Casino (donated by Donald Trump, who portrays himself in a cameo at the Jean-Georges).

A case of mistaken identity forces a pair of lounge singers to pose as safecrackers in this farce. Sam (Sam Rockwell) and Eddie (Steve Zahn) are hapless musicians; Frank (Mark Ruffalo) and Mitchell (Josh Pais) are expert safecrackers. But when local Jewish gangster Big Fat Bernie Gayle (Michael Lerner) dispatches his henchman, Veal Chop (Paul Giamatti), to trick the safecrackers into service, the hapless Veal Chop can't tell the difference. In the end, Sam and Eddie are forced to go along with Veal Chop's mistake and perform three separate robberies for the imposing Big Fat Bernie. During their very first mission -- to rob the safe of local fence Good Stuff Leo (Harvey Fierstein) -- they're apprehended by Hannah (Christina Kirk), Leo's affable, deadpan daughter. Hannah lets the guys go, but sparks fly between her and Sam. It just so happens, however, that real safecracker Frank is her ex-boyfriend, and that she's sworn off dating criminals for life. The coincidences, double crosses, and unlikely romance culminate in the bar mitzvah of Bernie's son, Little Big Fat Bernie (Michael Schmidt), whose present is the Stanley Cup -- the actual hockey trophy -- which was stolen from Good Stuff Leo by the reluctant Sam and Eddie. Shown at the 1998 Sundance Film Festival, Safe Men marked the writing and directing debut of future Meet the Parents and Zoolander scribe John Hamburg. The film also gave a pre-stardom Mark Ruffalo one of his first featured roles. Sam Rockwell and Josh Pais previously appeared together in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie. ~ Brian J.

In this off-the-wall comedy, Joan Sweeney (Judy Tenuta) is an actress who unfortunately hit the peak of her career at the age of eight. As a child performer, she was the star of a successful television series, but as a grown-up, she can't get work to save her life. Tired of dressing up as a child for personal appearances, Joan has decided she needs publicity to put her career back on track, and she's thoroughly convinced there's no such thing as bad press. Consequently, Joan poses as a homeless person, knocks over a convenience store, and even openly declares herself as lesbian in the interest of greater press coverage, all with no luck. Fate appears to be smiling on her, but at just the wrong time, when Joan finally gets offered a role that could kick start her career just as she discovers she's pregnant. Desperation Boulevard also stars Michael Lerner and Weird Al Yankovic; one-time TV stars Erin Moran, Burt Ward, and Ken Osmond also appear in cameo roles. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Dedicated to Tomoyuki Tanaka (1910-1997), who produced the 1954 original and sequels, the Devlin/Emmerich interpretation displays a redesign of Godzilla, now a large lizard mutated after fallout from French nuclear tests. A blinding flash of white light fills the Eastern sky. Thousands of miles away, the Pacific Ocean churns, engulfing a freighter. On another part of the globe, giant footsteps plow a path through miles of Panamanian forests, Tahitian villages, and Jamaican beaches. In the Ukraine, biologist Dr. Niko Tatopoulos (Matthew Broderick), with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, is examining the impact of radiation on Chernobyl earthworms. Colonel Hicks (Kevin Dunn) and a military team escort Niko to check out giant claw marks on the beached freighter; they're joined by paleontologists Elsie Chapman (Vicki Lewis) and Mendel Craven (Malcolm Danare). Blood and giant-size footprints indicate "some sort of enormous reptile." French secret agent Philippe Roache talks to the freighter's only survivor, who keeps repeating, "Gojira...Gojira." Tatopoulos et al arrive in Manhattan's Fulton Fish Market where Godzilla surfaces, moving on to the NYC financial district where Mayor Ebert (Michael Lerner) is speaking. Ambitious Audrey Timmonds (Maria Pitillo), who works for TV news anchor Charles Caiman (Harry Shearer), is Niko's former girlfriend, and she uses this to her professional advantage. As the wave of destruction continues, Niko and Roache track the creature through the evacuated city and discover Godzilla's eggs about to hatch in Madison Square Garden. They are followed by Audrey and TV cameraman Victor "Animal" Palotti (Hank Azaria), and soon the hatching Godzilla offspring prowl the Garden corridors, leading to a final showdown. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi
