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 view Cate Blanchett's award-nominated performance in Elizabeth: The Golden Age and The Jane Austen Book Club, which I featured as one of my February Must Haves.
Movie Preview: The Air I Breathe
This movie is intriguing for the incredible ensemble cast, although when that's the only good thing its own stars have to say about it, that's not a good sign. The Air I Breathe opens in New York and Los Angeles tonight and I wanted to get your thoughts on the preview, as I'm a little torn. There's a lot of talent piled into this flick (Forest Whitaker, Andy Garcia, Julie Delpy, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Emile Hirsch), but I'm a little confused by the trailer .
Interview: Julie Delpy of 2 Days in Paris
Julie Delpy is almost frighteningly talented. She writes, acts, directs, and composes music — and she does all four in 2 Days in Paris, one of my favorite films of the year so far. Delpy and Adam Goldberg play Marion and Jack, a lovably mismatched couple who spend a disastrous two days with Marion's family.
2 Days in Paris: Perfectly Imperfect
I'm almost afraid to write about 2 Days in Paris, as if somehow, by writing about it, it won't be a precious memory in my mind anymore. That sounds sappy and overwrought, but the fact is, I adored this movie more than any other movie I've seen in a long time. It's possible that the movie happened to hit all the right notes at all the right times for me personally.

Movie Preview: Julie Delpy's 2 Days in Paris
2 Days in Paris first caught my eye back in April when it screened at the Tribeca Film Festival, and now that I've seen the trailer I'm salivating to see this film. I love pretty much anything Julie Delpy touches, and seeing as she wrote, directed, edited and stars in 2 Days in Paris, she's touched this project often and much.
The movie follows Marion (Delpy) who brings her American boyfriend (Adam Goldberg) on his first trip to Paris.
Tribeca Film Festival Kicks Off
Film-lovers are freaking out today as the Tribeca Film Festival kicks off in New York. This year promises plenty to talk about, from little-known international titles to intriguing documentary fare to mainstream crowd-pleasers. There are way too many interesting-looking films screening at the festival to touch on here, but I will highlight a few that make me feel the saddest about not being there this year.Movie Preview: The Hoax
Richard Gere looks so young and sprightly in the previews for The Hoax, a tale based on the true story of one of the greatest media deceptions ever attempted. In the early 1970s, writer Clifford Irving (Gere) sells a "biography" about Howard Hughes, featuring exclusive information about the mysterious and fiercely private billionaire.
Eager for the juicy story, Irving's publishers pay him exorbitant advances for the manuscript — which he promptly fabricates.
What to Netflix: Valentine's Day Edition, Newfound Love
The theme for today's Valentine's Day Playlist is "newfound love," which got me thinking about movies that truly capture that mushy, fluttery feeling of brand-new love. In my opinion, no movie addresses this theme better than Before Sunrise.
Ethan Hawke plays Jesse, an American backpacker traveling in Europe.

Last year it was all Sunshine all the time when Little Miss Sunshine took home the majority of the Independent Spirit Awards, given out yearly by Film Independent. This year, the nominations are dominated by Juno, the teen pregnancy dramedy opening December 14, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, and to a lesser degree I'm Not There.
Some of the nominations have me squealing with delight: Chiwetel Ejiofor nominated for Best Supporting Male for his outstanding performance in Talk to Me, Julie Delpy's 2 Days in Paris nominated for Best First Feature, and the Irish musical Once nominated for Best Foreign Film.
