What Movie Do You Want to See as a Video Game?

GeekSugar — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 15:46:46 PDT

It's usually easy to predict which movies will become movies, like the Harry Potter series. Other times, it's a little confounding (Juno?!), and I'm surprised but pleased to learn of the new Wizard of Oz game for the Nintendo DS.

The 3D role-playing game is based on the book and the subsequent movie, and though it seems like a bit precious, it actually looks pretty cool.

So since you guys were so good at identifying which video games became movies, I want to bend your brains some more by getting your input.

If you could see any movie turned into a video game (that hasn't yet, natch), what would it be? Twilight? Bruno? The Hangover?

We're Off to See the CG-Animated Wizard of Oz

BuzzSugar — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 11:30:35 PST

Just as we're getting a Three Stooges movie for a new generation of moviegoers, The Wizard of Oz will also be reappearing on the big screen - in CG animation. The $25 million project is backed by a French production company and will be based on Frank Baum's original novel.

The Variety article adds, "The English-language adaptation maintains the tale's main characters and settings. Unlike the MGM classic, however, it's not a musical."

On the one hand, with today's animation technology, the possibilities are limitless for what Oz might look like, and that could be awesome. On the other hand, do we need another Wizard of Oz movie? Is this messing with a classic? What do you think?

OnSugar Blog: Audrey's Big Score

OnSugar Blog — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 03:14:09 PST

Lots of moms like to think out loud, and MiaFT is one of them. This is an excerpt from one of the latest posts on her Baby Love blog.

So this is what Audrey is going to get this year for Christmas! Yes, I went a little overboard, but I couldn't help myself!

So let me give you a rundown of all of her loot. As you can see, I hit the Disney Store...hard! I bought her both nightgowns for Snow White and Belle, as well as the Animators' dolls. I also bought the Mrs. Potts tea set, from Beauty and the Beast, as well as the movie itself. It's her new favorite. I recorded it recently, and she is in love!

How cute is the little red rocking horse....I mean, moose? She saw that at Ikea and we literally had to tear her off kicking and screaming. She is going to love it! I'm sure she'll be on it all Christmas Day.

I also shopped at Buy Buy Baby and got some great stuff! The cutest Melissa and Doug clock puzzle. What a great toy! On this one little toy she can learn about numbers, shapes, colors, and time. I challenge you to find a more educational toy. I also picked up the Melissa and Doug mailbox. She is always fascinated by the mailboxes we pass on the street. I think she'll love having her own! I picked up a cute little Wizard of Oz book, which is kind of for me since it still is my favorite movie ever. Oh and I got her a VTech digital camera. Yes, you read that right, a digital camera. It is only $40, so don't think I'm crazy. But it is built kid-proof, and can actually take pictures and videos. I am looking forward to seeing the world through her little eyes!

Finally, I stopped at Kohl's. I got a little fish tank lamp. She is in love with fish (since her Nemo phase) and it will be much easier than getting a real fish tank that would have to be cleaned. While I was there, I also picked up their Nancy Tillman hardcover books. They are part of Kohl's Cares. They only cost $5 each and 100 percent of the profits will support kids' health and education initiatives in communities nationwide. It's a great deal, and it helps others. And books make the best gifts!

Christmas is really for the kids, and I can't wait to see her smiling face on Christmas Day! I guess now I have to start shopping for everyone else on my list...

11 Stylish and Modern Blue Gingham Interiors

Elka Karl — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 03:00:05 PST

If blue gingham conjures to mind Dorothy's dress in The Wizard of Oz or country-cute kitchen curtains, you may be in for a happy surprise. I've rounded up some lovely interiors that use this classic pattern to elegant and modern effect.

The word gingham is actually an appropriation of the Malay word genggang, meaning striped. Indeed, the first ginghams were actually a striped fabric, although now it is exclusively plaid or checked in pattern. From room dividers to wall treatments, see some of the innovative ways this historical fabric pattern is being used in modern homes.

Michelle Williams Wears Oscar to Her Latest Marilyn Screening

Allie Merriam — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 08:02:05 PST

Michelle Williams arrived in LA on Friday and threw on a strapless Oscar de la Renta dress to attend yesterday's AFI Fest premiere of My Week With Marilyn at at Grauman's Chinese Theatre. We snagged a moment with Michelle on the red carpet before the screening began. She spoke about how lucky she felt to play the role of Marilyn Monroe and said people really don't know just how smart the iconic blonde was - stay tuned for video from the event later today on PopSugar Rush! Michelle got into promotional mode during a break from working on Oz: The Great and Powerful in Detroit. That movie is a special one for Michelle, who told us two weeks ago at the Hollywood Film Awards that the updated take on the Wizard of Oz was a project she took on for her 6-year-old daughter Matilda Legder.
