Michelle Pfeiffer

"Saturday Night Fever" (1977): Yes, the disco and posing and primping are hot, but so, too, is the walking. John Travolta is so sexy strolling down 86th Street holding a can of paint that even though you want his phone number, you'd kind of settle for the can's. "Mississippi Masala" (1991): The silent tragedy of Denzel Washington's great career is that he hasn't had enough sex. At the dawn of his stardom, there weren't many women who could handle him, but Sarita Choudhury was so terminally sensual that it explains his subsequent deluge of cop and detective roles: He's still looking for her. ...

ONE FOR THE MONEY (2012) Couldn't this be the title of every Katherine Heigl comedy these days? Here she tries on a Jersey accent as a salesgirl-turned-unlikely bounty hunter pursuing a former fling. Extras: Featurettes; gag reel. (Lionsgate, $29.95; Blu-ray, $39.99) THE WAR (2007) Ken Burns and Lynn Novick's documentary examines WWII's impact on four American communities. The series makes its Blu-ray debut. Extras: Commentary by Burns and Novick; additional interviews and deleted scenes.

Cohasset's Kate Bosworth does her best Michelle Pfeiffer (in "The Age of Innocence") in a new Harper's Bazaar feature that re-creates scenes from Martin Scorsese movies. Scorsese - whose new film, "Hugo," opens next month - helped put the feature together, working with photographer Jason Schmidt . We don't see a re-creation of "The Departed" or "Shutter Island" in the mix, which is too bad. We would have liked to have seen who Scorsese would have dressed up as Leonardo DiCaprio 's Billy Costigan.

SINBAD: LEGEND OF THE SEVEN SEAS ★★ ½ (Encore on Comcast) This DreamWorks release is enough to keep kids amused on a rainy day but has precious little lasting entertainment value on its own. Cobbling together plot strands from the Arabian Nights and other cartoons, it sends the title adventurer (voiced by Brad Pitt) after a priceless relic guarded by Eris, the Goddess of Chaos (Michelle Pfeiffer). Bland vocal performances and an ungainly mix of hand-drawn and computer animation sink the ship.

X-MEN: THE LAST STAND (Comcast Movies: All Movies) The future of mutant-kind is under siege again. This time the American government is backing an antidote to the mutant species. Professor X (Patrick Stewart) wants to negotiate, but his old friend Magneto (Ian McKellen) wants a war.

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS ** (Comcast Movie Collections: Holiday Films) In this optimistic adolescent tale, two clever Upper East Side kids try to reunite their divorced parents for the holidays. Wonder of wonders, they succeed. So much for learning to cope! An ordinary movie, with an ordinary visit from Lauren Bacall. (PG-13; runs through Jan. 4) - MATTHEW GILBERT BATMAN RETURNS ***½ (Comcast Movie Collections: Holiday Films) Better than the original because it's more of a Tim Burton film — darker, weirder, more gnarled and more fun as it sends its isolated, conflicted characters through a heavy,...

New releases *** Eames: The Architect and the Painter Ray and Charles Eames's designs, most notably for furniture, became emblems of educated, upper-middle-class taste in the '50s. This smart, lively (sometimes too lively) documentary looks at the Eameses on multiple levels: as husband and wife, artists, entrepreneurs, and icons. Narrated by James Franco. (84 min., unrated) (Mark Feeney) **½ From the Back of the Room A serviceable collection of women in the punk movement talking about being women in the punk movement.
