What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday
I can't get over the number of new DVD releases hitting shelves this week (I know what I'll be doing Saturday!). Along with these three picks, you also have Charlize Theron in The Burning Plain, Tyler Perry's I Can Do Bad All by Myself, Downloading Nancy with Maria Bello, and the political satire In the Loop.
The Hurt Locker
A small film with big word-of-mouth buzz, The Hurt Locker was one of the cinematic dark horses of this past year.
Post Grad: A Cute Quarterlife Comedy
The big elephant in the room while watching Post Grad is that the plot seems like it's totally zeitgeist-y, but it's actually not. A young woman (Alexis Bledel) can't seem to get a job despite her qualifications and languishes in unemployment. Unemployment!
Movie Preview: Alexis Bledel in Post Grad
Though parts of this trailer for Post Grad are predictable and a little cheesy, overall it's way more endearing and adorable than I had anticipated. Alexis Bledel plays Ryden Malby in this sentimental comedy that explores the scary/exciting challenges of graduating college and not having everything fall right into place. She lives with her parents, hangs out with her longtime guy friend Adam (Zach Gilford), and vies for the same jobs as countless other early 20-something hopefuls — and repeatedly faces rejection, causing her to wonder what her future will actually look like.

Movie Preview: Emmy Rossum and Zach Gilford in Dare
The trailer for Dare starts out like it's going to be a typical high school flick: three seniors on the verge of graduation (and adulthood) each has his or her identity challenged. The three are nice girl Alexa (Emmy Rossum), Ben (Ashley Springer), and bad boy Johnny (Zach Gilford, somehow looking even more adorable than he did in Post Grad). Of course, their emerging identities — being as complicated as they are — muddle each relationship.
