Stardust

All of the new DVD releases hit stores (and Netflix) on Tuesdays. So each week in What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday, I sort through the best of the batch and tell you what to add to your queue. In addition to these titles, you can now find the five-disc collector's edition of Blade Runner.

The Simpsons Movie
In case you missed one of the biggest movies of the summer, you can now enjoy The Simpsons Movie in your very own home. In the movie, one of TV's favorite bumbling dads accidentally contaminates Springfield's water supply, and the town is placed under a giant dome by the government. The Simpsons then need to figure out a way to save the day.

The extras feature an assortment of goodies, including audio commentary by various voice actors and the directors, extended and deleted scenes, and a collection of the promotional stuff they did to generate buzz for the summer release. One of these is Homer's guest monologue on The Tonight Show. Woo-hoo!

Two more titles, so read more

It was all about the blondes on the green carpet last night at the premiere of Stardust in London. Sienna left her tattoo twin at home, and went with a simple LWD while Michelle continued to wow us by aging backwards in her LBD. Claudia Schiffer may have skipped the LDs entirely, but made it clear that she's still hot in her tight pantsuit. They may have left their men at home, but obviously these ladies have no problem shining all by themselves.

"This is the story of how Tristan becomes a man... To achieve it, he must win the heart of his one true love." From the beginning of Stardust, there is a distinct waft of The Princess Bride. The warm, old-man voice (Ian McKellan, of course) narrating the tale like a grandfather telling a bedtime story, the fantastical adventure dotted with romance and humor, and even the echoing words "his one true love" made me feel nostalgic for that magical love story of my youth.

As it happens, Stardust is a perfectly adequate Princess Bride-style tale, a bright and enthralling adventure with plenty of danger, magic and love. In the story, the aforementioned Tristan (played by the outrageously attractive Charlie Cox) is a lovestruck young man tasked with the challenge of bringing back a fallen star for the petulant, conceited object of his affections, Victoria (Sienna Miller). He meets the star, a luminescent woman named Yvaine (Claire Danes) who has landed near Tristan's sleepy village, and he determines to bring her to Victoria as proof of his adoration. That's just the tip of this fantasy iceberg, though, so read more

Welcome to the first installment of BuzzSugar's monthly must-haves, where I show off a handful of the things I'm most looking forward to watching, buying, renting and reading. Here are six goodies that I'm looking forward to in August:

It was a fabulous Sunday night in LA at the Stardust premiere. Michelle Pfeiffer outdid herself yet again looking amazing in blue (and with some hot hot shoes), but I'm torn on whose dress I love more, hers or Claire's dangerously low backed number. Meanwhile, up and comer Kate Mara (from 24) rounded out the set of beautiful women with her laid back hair. Age is a big part of the film, and Danes had this to say on the red carpet about people's obsession with looking young, "I understand the anxiety of aging. It seems like death is avoidable via Botox. And if youth means looking like Michelle Pfeiffer, who wouldn't want to hold onto that?" She's got that right, but it takes more than a little Botox to be Michelle Pfeiffer gorgeous.

The upcoming fantasy movie Stardust first caught my eye because of the stellar cast (Michelle Pfeiffer, Robert DeNiro, Peter O'Toole, Ricky Gervais, and many others), and because of the whimsical atmosphere conveyed in the trailer. Knowing it's based on a Neil Gaiman novel only makes me more interested in the movie, which opens August 10.

Having posted a few things about the movie, I know some of you are major Gaiman fans or are otherwise seriously anticipating the film. And now I might have the opportunity to interview Stardust director Matthew Vaughn — but aside from the obvious questions ("What was it like working with Michelle Pfeiffer/Robert DeNiro/Peter O'Toole/Ricky Gervais?"), I'm not sure what I should ask him. Help me out, Buzz readers: What are you most curious about with this project? What should I ask Matthew Vaughn?

I had no idea how much you loved Michelle Pfeiffer until so many of you chose her as your pick for a theoretical Ocean's Fourteenth. Well, the lovely, classy Michelle will be everywhere this summer between her appearances in Hairspray (opening July 20) and Stardust (opening August 10). For now, the Stardust website is featuring three new TV promos for the movie, each of which has a few more tidbits of sparkly magic.

I can't wait for this movie, what with its fantastical story, humorous wordplay and appealing special effects. If you haven't seen the trailer yet, you should watch that on the website, and then take a look at the TV spots. The third one is my personal favorite — in it we learn that one downside to playing with your magician friends is that they can make your chest droopy, just for kicks, at any time.
