What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday
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 the titles below, you can now rent or own the fourth season of Beverly Hills 90210, which — according to Netflix and my memory—includes moments like Andrea finding out she's pregnant and Brandon meeting Bill Clinton!
Box Office: Hudson and McConaughey Strike Gold
The chemistry between Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey proved lucrative once again as their comedy, Fool's Gold, won the top spot at the box office over the weekend, earning $22 million.

Box Office: Spartans Defeat Rambo
The 300 spoof movie Meet the Spartans took the box office crown this weekend, just barely edging out the latest Rambo for first place.

According to Variety, Harvey Weinstein remarked, "Based on these numbers, there should be another one."

The Release Dates, They Are A-Changin'
Who knows why the studios do what they do? It took me a while to forgive the moving of the U.S. release date for Simon Pegg comedy (directed by David Schwimmer) Run, Fat Boy, Run from October 26, 2007 to March 28, 2008.
Dresses at 27 Dresses Screenings — Cute or Cheesy?
According to Hollywood Reporter, "Twentieth Century Fox is introducing what it calls the first ever 'live standees' to promote 27 Dresses — 27 models at 27 specially-selected theaters across the country, who will be wearing specially-made bridesmaid dresses adorned with the film's title and credits."
The promotion is taking place at advance screenings today which is, of course, the 27th of December! I can't tell if this is an irritatingly dumb promotional stunt, or kind of cute and innovative.
Movie Preview: 27 Dresses
The movie doesn't open until January 11, 2008 but we already have a trailer for Katherine Heigl's next romantic "comedy," 27 Dresses. She plays a woman who has been a bridesmaid 27 times and, surprise surprise, never a bride. It appears that her tendency to be kind of a doormat has something to do with her getting stepped on a lot.
