What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday
It's Tuesday, so you know what that means — new DVD releases just in time for the Thanksgiving break! I've already shared some fresh music picks, but here are three movies to add to your Netflix queue for the weekend.
Funny People
Adam Sandler plays a comedian who tries to turn his life around and befriend a past love (Leslie Mann) after being diagnosed with a blood disorder; Seth Rogen steps in as his idealistic assistant.
Box Office: The Day the Earth Earned a Lot of Money
The Day the Earth Stood Still may not have been a critical hit but it is now officially a box office success, earning $31 million over the weekend and topping Four Christmases, which slid into second place. Twilight, Bolt, and Australia followed in third, fourth, and fifth places respectively.
Meanwhile, Variety is reporting that smaller, independent films "delivered one of the best weekends ever for the specialty box office."
Box Office: Audiences Love Christmases
Reese and Vince proved a potent pair at the box office once again as Four Christmases came in at No. 1 for the second weekend in a row. The holiday comedy earned an estimated $18.2 million over the weekend, bringing its overall total since debuting to $70.8 million.
Caption It: Which Caption Should Win?
Thanks to all who found time during the busy holiday week to chip in captions for this week's challenge from Four Christmases:
Here are your finalists:
- "Sometimes when I get nervous, I put my fingers in my armpits and sniff them like that. I was prepared to play Moses, not Joseph!"
- Vince: "I will now play 'Silent Night' using only armpit farts!"
- "Listen up Mary, we got 1 down to go with 4 seconds left so I need you to launch that baby as far as you can. You got that?!"
Box Office: Four Christmases Wins the Holiday Weekend
I was surprised at how much I ended up enjoying Four Christmases starring Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn, and maybe some of the early buzz from others who also liked it helped the holiday comedy win the Thanksgiving weekend box office this year with an estimated $46.7 million since opening Wednesday.
Meanwhile the highly anticipated Baz Luhrmann epic Australia opened at No. 5 after Quantum of Solace in fourth place, Twilight (which passed the $100 million mark this weekend) in third, and Bolt in second place.
Four Christmases: A (Very) Light Dash of Holiday Fun
It's most likely that Four Christmases wouldn't be nearly so funny or endearing (though that may be slightly too strong a word for it) if it didn't take place around the holidays. Just watching these family members be mean to each other would probably be merely sad if it weren't juxtaposed with this holiday that is supposed to be at least partially about family togetherness. The premise of the film is gimmicky for sure (four Christmases in one day?), but what happens during those four Christmases is actually a lot of fun to watch.
Caption It!
Welcome to the Caption It game on BuzzSugar! Every other Wednesday, I'll post a photo still from a TV show or movie here and challenge you to think of the most hilarious caption possible. I'll announce the finalists the following Tuesday, and you'll get to vote for the best caption; the winner will get a fabulous BuzzSugar t-shirt!
Movie Preview: Four Christmases
The little taste of Four Christmases in recent TV previews has only made me more curious to see a longer trailer, and now we've got it. As we know, Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn play Kate and Brad, who try to avoid their families around the holidays — but this year is different. Both of them have divorced parents, and they're forced to visit all four of their families for Christmas.
A First Look at Four Christmases
This first snippet from Four Christmases, the forthcoming holiday comedy starring Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn, has been popping up during various TV shows lately. I missed it during America's Next Top Model last week but finally caught it during the VMAs on Sunday, and now I'm curious to know what you think.
The movie centers on Kate and Brad, who usually find a way to avoid spending Christmas with their families — until this year, when they must visit all four of their divorced parents in a single day.
Reese and Vince to Have Four Christmases
Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn are in final talks to costar in a holiday comedy titled Four Christmases, says Hollywood Reporter. Truly a holiday flick for the divorce generation, Four Christmases follows "a couple who struggle to visit all four of their divorced parents' homes over the Christmas holiday."
I'm not a huge Vince Vaughn fan, though I think there's some automatic humor in the physical disparities between Witherspoon and Vaughn (he's so tall and she's so tiny!), and Vaughn's getting some practice with holiday comedies with this November's Fred Claus.
