New on DVD: Kajillionaire gives unique humanity to family of pros at cons
Katie Foran-McHale

A codependent family of scammers tops the new DVD releases for the week of Dec. 22. Kajillionaire : Writer-director Miranda July ( The Future, Me and You and Everyone We Know ) continues her singularly empathic look into offbeat lives, this time following a family of Los Angeles grifters. Residing in an office space next to a soap factory, complete with overflowing bubbles they must scrape off the walls as a daily chore, parents Robert and Theresa (Richard Jenkins and Debra Winger) and daughter Old Dolio (Evan Rachel Wood) commit forgeries and cons just to barely get by.
It’s the time of year when we settle in to rewatch our favorite holiday classics. Beyond
Meet Me in St. Louis and
Miracle on 34th Street, there is plenty of old Hollywood fare that is worth revisiting year after year.
It Happened on 5th Avenue, for instance. Produced and directed by
Roy Del Ruth, the 1947 Allied Artists comedy holds all of the trimmings of a delightful holiday picture that’ll tug at your heartstrings in the process. And while hardly an obscure Christmas movie, it does have an interesting history connected to one of the most famous holiday films of all time.
