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 these three creepy thrillers that join the others on video store shelves today, Wild Hogs also comes out on DVD, as well as David Lynch's Inland Empire. The Lookout One of my favorite Read more
The Lookout is mostly slow-moving and pretty quiet, which makes the action that much more exciting when it quickly advances, and the denouement that much more satisfying. If one can disregard the tidily wrapped-up ending and some convenient coincidences, the film is a successful piece modern noir featuring a sweet-faced kid and his blind, lovable buddy. Screenwriter Scott Frank delivers a solid Read more
Young Hollywood up and comers Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Isla Fisher celebrated their new movie, The Lookout, at last night's NY premiere. Luckily, Joseph looks to have healed since last week's LA premiere while Isla continued to shine in a form fitting black number. The Lookout, a dark crime thriller (check out the trailer here), comes out this Friday, but it's already getting good reviews. We Read more
Aside from Blades of Glory, the only other films coming out nationwide this Friday are the animated family flick Meet the Robinsons and the neo-noir crime thriller The Lookout. I'm more interested in the thriller, though I won't be surprised if Meet the Robinsons does well at the box office (see: TMNT). In The Lookout, which marks screenwriter Scott Frank's (Out of Sight, Get Shorty) directorial Read more
Isla Fisher certainly looked the part of the sexy siren at the premiere of her new film The Lookout last night. Her fiance, Sacha Baron Cohen, was also on hand, but managed to elude photographers and let Isla shine on her big night. Rather than stay home and watch Dirt, Courteney was out on the red carpet too, perhaps the girls stayed in touch after the Borat premiere? Unfortunately it looks like Read more
We're thrilled to present this smart Kiplinger story here on Savvy! The IRS audits only slightly more than 1% of all individual tax returns annually. The agency doesn't have enough personnel and resources to examine each and every tax return filed during a year. So the odds are pretty low that your return will be picked for review. And, of course, the only reason filers should worry about an Read more

I'm always on the lookout for easily integrated organizing ideas, and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition designer Jillian Harris recently shared a few quick and easy tips pulled from her own home. The best part is, you may already own some of these items — you just need to organize and style them in the manner Jillian suggests. Bedside Tables: "Always think about storage when selecting furniture. Read more
We weren't the only ones to hit up the Good Food Awards this past weekend; check out what Let's Go San Francisco spotted at the Good Foods Marketplace this weekend. You can imagine my delight and excitement when I stumbled upon the Good Food Awards at the Ferry Building. For $5 I had all-you-can-eat chocolate, cheese, and coffee (um, seriously a dream come true). Vendors from all over the country Read more
Celeriac's one of those vegetables that used to intimidate me in the produce section of the grocery store. But as it turns out, the vegetable, also known as celery root and knob celery, is nothing more than a celery plant grown for its root rather than its stems and leaves. Originally, this root vegetable was grown in Northern Europe and around the Mediterranean; it's historically been less Read more
