Buzz Gift Guide: Gifting Granny

BuzzSugar — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 05:45:34 -0800

Welcome to the next installment of my Buzz Gift Guide series for all the entertainment lovers in your life. I've already thought up some holiday gifts for mom and dad this week, so today we're moving onto a very special lady: Grandma!

It can be hard to think of entertainment-related gifts for grandmas because of generational (not to mention maybe technological) gaps. But I thought of some gifts I know my grandma would get a kick out of, and to be honest, I wouldn't mind receiving a few of these myself!

For example, take this collection of movies starring Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart - a pairing that captivated an entire generation on and off the silver screen once upon a time. I'm ordering this up for my grandma and I look forward to viewing them with her.

And how cute is this I Love Lucy merchandise? My favorites are the purses. I've also included The Price Is Right on DVD (Bob Barker's entire final week!), a great Ella Fitzgerald Christmas album, a subscription to Soap Opera Digest, and a DVD set of classic Paul Newman films (grandmas still swoon, ya know).

Soap Opera Digest ($37.44)	Bogie & Bacall - The Signature Collection ($29.99)
The Films of Paul Newman ($15.99)	Ella Wishes You a Swinging Christmas ($10.99)
I Love Lucy Purse: Great Minds Think Alike ($29.95)	Best Of The Price Is Right ($34.99)

Recast Casablanca!

BuzzSugar — Wed, 13 Dec 2006 07:50:15 -0800

Ever wonder what a movie or TV show would be like if you could be the casting director? Well, now's your chance. Every Wednesday on BuzzSugar, we'll be posting a Recast challenge, where we'll ask you to recast a classic TV show or movie for these modern times.

This week's challenge: The legendary 1942 film Casablanca. I know, I know: No one can do it like Bogey, but if you had to recast the movie with new actors in the roles originated by Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, and Claude Rains, who would you cast? Cate Blanchett as Isla? Philip Seymour Hoffman as Capt. Renault? Leave your entry us in the comment section below, and I'll pick one winner to feature next Tuesday, Dec. 19, complete with a "new" cast photo.
