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, Good Luck Chuck and Mr. Woodcock are also now on DVD.
It's a big night for finales on cable TV, as Dexter wraps up its second season and Extras finishes its run forever with a movie-length special.
(Side note: If these two shows were a celebrity couple, everyone would totally call them "Dextras." OK, moving on.)
The Extras movie is packed with guest stars, but it has a lot more going for it than that.
If you're a fan of Ricky Gervais and his Emmy-winning series Extras, then you might want to mark your calendars: The Extra Special Series Finale will premiere Dec. 16 on HBO, wrapping up the saga of Andy Millman and his low-level actor friends with 80 more minutes of wackiness.
Gervais and his co-writer Stephen Merchant certainly seem to love the movies-as-finales device; they did a similar thing to end the BBC version of The Office several years back.
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 below titles, family films The Astronaut Farmer and The Last Mimzy also come out on DVD today.
If you're not into the Grammys and are lucky enough to have HBO, tonight might be a good night to check out "Extras." It hasn't been a good year so far for Andy Millman (Ricky Gervais of the BBC's "The Office"). His new sitcom is trash, David Bowie has savaged him in song, and he's had one unfortunate public relations scandal after another — most recently getting banned from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts after making a scene at an awards show.
I told you a while back about how to get a sneak peek of the "Extras" season premiere. Now I have better news: The whole first episode of the upcoming season — the one where Orlando Bloom trashes Johnny Depp and Andy (Ricky Gervais) starts filming his sitcom — is now available for free on the iTunes music store. Yup, free.
According to yesterday's poll, a whole lot of you are Netflix junkies! So, since all of the new DVD releases come out on Tuesdays, I'll sort through the best of the batch each week and tell you what to add to your queue in What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday.
Extras: The Complete First Season
From the great minds that brought us BBC's "The Office" comes this equally hilarious and equally cringe-worthy British comedy.
