What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday

BuzzSugar — Tue, 27 May 2008 08:15:03 -0700

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 now rent the fourth film in the Rambo franchise, simply titled Rambo, and Woody Allen's Cassandra's Dream, starring Ewan McGregor and Colin Farrell.

Absolutely Fabulous - Absolutely Everything
"Is it Lacroix Darling? I'll love it if it's Lacroix." - Edina Monsoon. While it might not be Lacroix, it's certainly the next best thing. That's because this Absolutely Fabulous box set, just like its title, has absolutely everything. For a series previously available by season only, this box set compiles every episode from 1992 to 2005.

The British comedy follows Edina, who owns a public relations firm, and her best friend Patsy, who doesn't do much of anything. The duo is consumed by the latest fads and fashion and obsessed with regularly putting drugs and booze - and little else! - into their bodies. Edina's daughter Saffron provides the motherly voice of reason for the out-of-control spinsters. Ab Fab is definitely an acquired taste, but if you are a fan of British humor, I recommend the purchase.

Two more titles if you read more.

Lipstick Jungle
I can't believe this is on DVD already! The first season of NBC's Lipstick Jungle (which just concluded at the end of March) focuses on three New York City women striving for success. Brooke Shields stars as Wendy Healy, a movie exec trying to juggle her family life and career. Her friends Nico (Kim Raver) and Victory (Lindsay Price) round out the ensemble as a magazine editor and fashion designer, respectively. The show is based on a novel by Candace Bushnell, who also wrote Sex and the City and our current book club selection, Four Blondes.

Grace is Gone
Grace is Gone stars John Cusack as a widowed husband whose wife dies while serving in Iraq. The film centers on his struggle to tell his two daughters that their mom has died, which he delays doing by taking the girls to an amusement park.

The film did well at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival (where it won the Audience Award in the dramatic category) and it pulled in a very respectable $4 million by The Weinstein Company. I haven't yet seen it, but I'm always up for a John Cusack film and he's supposedly excellent in this one.

Colin and Woody Bring Cassandra's Dream to NYC

Molly — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 13:31:56 -0800

Woody Allen and Colin Farrell looked a little uncomfortable on the red carpet premiere of Cassandra's Dream in NYC last night. Hopefully Colin was realizing what a bad hair decision he has made. For a man that can be so handsome, he certainly hides his hot. The movie looks pretty interesting, but sadly his costar Ewan McGregor wasn't there (he should be more places, shouldn't he?). Maybe even next time the boys come out to show off their movie they can crack a smile or two?

Colin & Ewan Make A Dreamy Dream

Molly — Wed, 12 Sep 2007 00:36:31 -0700

For two very handsome men, Colin Farrell and Ewan McGregor were not living up to their steamy at the Toronto Film Festival premiere of Woody Allen's Cassandra's Dream yesterday. Still with the kinda bad hair we saw in Venice. Blech, at least Ewan doesn't have a goatee. This Woody creation (with no Scarlett in sight!) seems more along the lines of Match Point than, say, Annie Hall - check out the preview here - but come on, there's got to be at least a few smiles with these two on screen.

Cassandra's Dream Floats To The Red Carpet

PopSugar — Mon, 03 Sep 2007 14:14:21 -0700

Woody Allen premiered his Cassandra's Dream in Venice yesterday with the help of his cast members. Colin kept up his scruffy look while Ewan McGregor decided to try out an interesting new hairdo. Sure, they're no Brad and George, but these two look pretty chummy together smiling big on the red carpet. If crime thrillers and bad boys are your thing, you should definitely check out this film when it hits the theaters in November.

First Look: Ewan McGregor, Colin Farrell in Cassandra's Dream

BuzzSugar — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 09:30:00 -0700

Something tells me Woody Allen will be feverishly making movies until the day he dies. He's currently working on his untitled Barcelona project starring his favorite leading lady Scarlett Johansson. And coming out this fall is Allen's crime thriller Cassandra's Dream.

Starring Colin Farrell and Ewan McGregor, Cassandra's Dream follows two south London brothers (Farrell, McGregor) experiencing money problems who are led into a life of crime by a sexy lady (Hayley Atwell). When things don't go so well, the two brothers are pitted against each other. So, Annie Hall it's not.

The international trailer (you know, with subtitles) has just hit the Web, and while it feels a little long and involved, I'm still interested to see this when it opens in the U.S. November 30. To watch the trailer, read more

Colin's Nerve Wracking Dream

PopSugar — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 10:29:17 -0800

Colin Farrell took a break from promoting Cassandra's Dream with Woody Allen to explore SoHo in NYC last night. The pair looked a bit unenthused at the premiere the other night, but maybe that's because Colin gets a little intimidated around his director. He said, "I remember once saying, 'Can I get another take?' And he said, 'If you think you can do it better.' And he wasn't being a smart ass. He meant it. I said, 'No, it's fine, actually.' I felt stupid. It was too much pressure."

It's been interesting to learn about Colin's less bad-boy ways, like when he opened up about his son's condition back in October. This week he also talked about how James is improving and they'll be spending the holidays together relaxing and eating with the rest of the family.

How Colin Deals With Stress

PopSugar — Fri, 14 Sep 2007 09:15:59 -0700

Colin Farrell headed to the airport after an eventful week at the Toronto Film Festival. Besides promoting Cassandra's Dream, he ran into an old friend of his. Apparently Colin reunited with a homeless man whom he had helped win $2,000 back in 2003 when he was filming a movie in Toronto. This time around, Colin took "Stress" (the man's nickname) on a shopping spree and laid down enough money to set him up with an apartment for a year. Colin definitely has a bad boy side to him, but clearly he has a sweet side as well.

Colin Farrell Rough and Rugged

PopSugar — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 23:40:47 -0700

Colin Farrell and his beloved fedora made an appearance at JFK airport yesterday. Colin may feel sexy in his chest bearing hoodie and leather jacket but he could use a few tips from Becks on proper travel attire. Colin has kept a relatively low profile since Miami Vice last summer, but he'll be back to his bad boy ways this fall in the new Woody Allen movie, Cassandra's Dream. Maybe he'll even ditch the fedora and scraggly beard to re-visit his more attractive, red-carpet worthy alter ego.

Penelope Takes A Break In The UK

PopSugar — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 16:46:50 -0700

A windblown Penelope Cruz headed out of Nobu in London last night with her co-star and adamantly just friend Javier Bardem. They must be taking a little break from shooting the Woody Allen Barcelona movie that they've been working on with Scarlett. While we continue to wait patiently for Woody to finally give that film a title, we can check out his next movie, Cassandra's Dream, which hits theaters at the end of November. It stars both Colin Farrell and Ewan McGregor and is one of Buzz's Bad Boys Movies of the Fall.
