Mafioso (The Criterion Collection, 3.18.2008) Nino Badalamenti is a supervisor in a car manufacturing plant who hasn't taken a vacation in over two years. On his way out the door to visit his beloved childhood hometown of Sicily -- with his blonde wife and daughters -- Nino is handed a package by his boss and asked to deliver it to a powerful and influential Sicilian gangster named Don Vincenzo. Once in Sicily, Nino has a hoot seeing friends and family, but his wife has trouble fitting in and is unfairly dismissed as a snob by Nino's family. Even more worrisome, Nino finds himself entangled in an intricate web of secret mafioso dealings and is eventually sent on an unexpectedly... elaborate errand. (continued)

Nude scenes

Screengrab's "Ten Best Nude Scenes of '06" piece amounts to two goodies -- Gretchen Mol's outdoor nude scene in The Notorious Bettie Page and Sophia Myles in Art-School Confidential -- and eight so-sos.

To paraphrase Sick Boy:

" 'ScreenGrab'? What a total fucking misnomer."

And Jesu H. Christé...ANY movie where Mia Kirshner drops trou deserves on a "Year's Ten Best" list.
