Foodie Film Feastival: Some Like it Hot
Food and film work together on screen and off. Dinner and a movie is an entity unto itself. And what’s the point of dinner and a movie? In the basest terms, an interlude to intimacy.
Today, I’ve pulled a few scenes where food, film and sex combine for a tasty and titillating result. Above you’ll see Tom Jones, as played by young Albert Finney, seduced over poultry much the way Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway played chess in “The Thomas Crown Affair.”
Below, Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger use food as foreplay in “9 1/2 Weeks.”
More subtle is the passion between star-crossed lovers Tita and Pedro in “Like Water for Chocolate” but with no different result. (Please excuse the lame dubbing)
Hope to see you at the Foodie Film FEASTival, which starts Thursday and runs through Saturday.

Howdy! I simply want to give a huge thumbs up for the nice data you will have right here on this post. I shall be coming again to your weblog for more soon.
Hot! Well, that doesn’t matter what the videos really meant. But one thing is for sure, great chefs showed their feelings in every food they’ve created and the ones who will eat it will be the one who can feel it.
What movie trailers from this year, just by watching it, made you think the upcoming movie was going to be stupid? Just by watching the trailer you know it was going to be downright bad. My examples would be the remake of Arthur and the upcoming Cameron Diaz summer flick Bad Teacher.
