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 my selections below you can take home Will Smith's drama Seven Pounds.
What Movie Will You See in Theaters This Weekend?
It's kind of a random time of year for movies, and I'm curious to see what audiences are in the mood for. This weekend has lots to offer, including a new animated feature, a horror flick, and some holdovers from previous weekends — including an Oscar winner.
So tell me: What, if any, movie will you see this weekend?
Buzz Book Club: The End of Slumdog Millionaire
Welcome back, Buzz Book Club readers! I don't know about you, but I'm glad I read the book that inspired Slumdog Millionaire, as I found the book to be thought-provoking as well as entertaining. Let's chat about our final thoughts on it in just a sec.
Buzz Book Club: Slumdog Millionaire, Section Two
Welcome back, Buzz Book Club readers! I think I've nearly brushed aside comparisons to the movie Slumdog Millionaire while reading this book because the two have less and less in common as I read on. I am still thoroughly engrossed in the book, though.
Buzz Book Club: Slumdog Millionaire, Section One
Welcome back, Buzz Book Club readers! I really enjoyed the movie Slumdog Millionaire, and thought I'd use this month's book club to explore the book on which it's based, originally titled Q&A. Already the two are pretty different, and we'll discuss how they match up so far after the jump.
Box Office: Who's Watching the Watchmen? Everyone
Zack Snyder's long-awaited screen adaptation of Watchmen finally hit theaters over the weekend and scored the best opening of the year with an estimated $55.7 million. Apparently that's actually a bit of a disappointment to the studio which, according to Variety, "had hoped Watchmen would match, or even best, the $70.9 million domestic opening of Zack Snyder's previous film, 300, which bowed on the same weekend in 2007."
The rest of the top five at the box office was all mixed up with Tyler Perry's Madea Goes to Jail coming in second place, followed by Taken in third, Slumdog Millionaire in fourth, and Paul Blart: Mall Cop in the fifth spot.
Buzz Book Club: Slumdog Millionaire (also known as Q&A)
Hi, Buzz Book Club readers! I loved the film Slumdog Millionaire, and over the past few months, it's been a delight to watch this Danny Boyle movie work its way into the hearts of many — including, of course, the Academy Awards voters, who named the film this year's Best Picture.
The film also won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay, and in doing some research into the film, I learned that the book it draws from is pretty different from the big-screen version — which, of course, made me want to read it.
Madea's Box Office Reign Continues Despite the Jonas Threat
Even when competing with a Jonas Brothers 3-D extravaganza thingy, Tyler Perry's Madea Goes to Jail did not falter during its second weekend in theaters and scored the top spot at the box office again.
Disney's Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience was expected to win the weekend partly because of the extraordinary success of last year's Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour. The Jonas Brothers' movie earned an estimated $12.7 million and is considered a disappointment in comparison to the estimated $29 million that Miley's movie debut earned.
Which Oscar-Winning Movie Do You Want to See Next?
Not even Oscar host Hugh Jackman got to see all the nominated films before Sunday's big night. He even found a pretty hilarious way to work the fact that he hadn't seen The Reader into his opening bit.
