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.
The Wrestler
I said it in my list of must haves for April and I'll say it again: In addition to being a touching film with an astounding performance by Mickey Rourke, The Wrestler is one of those rare movies that a diverse group of adults can agree to see together.
Frost/Nixon: A Solid and Entertaining Talkathon
Doubt and Frost/Nixon have a lot in common: Both are stage-to-screen adaptations, both are receiving a lot of awards buzz, and neither has a particularly compelling visual story to tell. Instead, the drama lies in the words people are saying. I've heard both of these movies referred to as "grown-up" cinema, which is probably apt given that it takes a pretty mature attention span to fully appreciate them.
Box Office: The Day the Earth Earned a Lot of Money
The Day the Earth Stood Still may not have been a critical hit but it is now officially a box office success, earning $31 million over the weekend and topping Four Christmases, which slid into second place. Twilight, Bolt, and Australia followed in third, fourth, and fifth places respectively.
Meanwhile, Variety is reporting that smaller, independent films "delivered one of the best weekends ever for the specialty box office."
First Glance: Frost/Nixon – See It or Skip It?
Here's your first glance at Frost/Nixon, a movie depicting the series of television interviews between British TV stalwart Sir David Frost and President Nixon, after Watergate. The film will premiere at the London Film Festival in October, and will be released in UK cinemas in January 2009. It has a great cast including Sam Rockwell, Michael Sheen, Kevin Bacon and Matthew Macfadyen, and was directed by Ron Howard.
Movie Preview: Ron Howard's Frost/Nixon
"There's a reason they called him Tricky Dick."
The international trailer for the new Ron Howard movie, Frost/Nixon, has arrived and from what I can tell it looks pretty amazing. Based on the well-received play of the same title by Peter Morgan (the same man who wrote the script for The Queen), the movie chronicles the true story of a series of televised interviews Nixon gave to British journalist David Frost in 1977.

Couples Night at the Opening of Frost / Nixon
Frost/Nixon, the historic play about interviews that took place between David Frost and Richard Nixon doesn't exactly seem very romantic but it definitely drew a coupley crowd. Claire Danes came out to the Broadway opening with her fairly new man Hugh Dancy and Kim Cattrall has seen better days but she still has a boy toy to keep her young at heart. Naomi and Liev are always at Broadway openings so it's no surprise that they made an appearance.Oscars 2009: The Nominations!

Frost/Nixon Kicks Off The London Film Festival 2008!
A screening of new movie Frost/Nixon was the focus of the gala opening of the London Film Festival 2008 last night. The film is based upon Sir David Frost's interviews with US president Richard Nixon in 1977, and Sir David was one of the guests at the event last night, posing for photos with the actor who plays him in the Ron Howard-directed movie, Michael Sheen. Sir David said it had been a landmark moment in his life, interviewing this man who was "going towards his mea culpa", and Michael spoke about playing Sir David on the red carpet, explaining:
