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. In addition to my selections below, you can also add Jessica Biel's Powder Blue to your queue, along with the first season of Designing Women.
Box Office: Audiences Taken With Taken
Liam Neeson's thriller Taken scored the top spot at the box office this weekend, which according to Variety, proves that "male-driven pics can open successfully on Super Bowl weekend." Last year Miley Cyrus brought her magic to the big screen over Super Bowl weekend and broke records.
Meanwhile, Paul Blart: Mall Cop continues to do well and dropped to the No.
New in Town: Lovin' in the Cold
New in Town is packed with a lot of bad, wrong-headed moves including small-town stereotypes, predictability, conventionality, and in one bizarre scene, hard nipples. Despite a talented and likable cast with wonderful character actors like J.K. Simmons and Frances Conroy, this romantic comedy was probably doomed from the start due to a script that can't decide if it wants to be Fargo, Norma Ray, or Working Girl.
Watch, Pass, TiVo or Rent: New in Town
This Friday, Renee Zellweger and Harry Connick Jr. star in New in Town in which a "Miami businesswoman adjusts to her new life in a tiny Minnesota town." Do you think you'll watch this one in theaters, or wait for it to be on DVD — or even for it to be on TV when you're lazing around some Saturday afternoon? Or is this a total pass?
Movie Preview: Renée Zellweger Is New in Town
The trailer for the romantic comedy New in Town, starring Renée Zellweger and Harry Connick Jr., seems to tell the whole story, and it looks like a predictable story at that. As the plot description states, "Renée Zellweger stars as a Miami-based consultant whose latest assignment, to restructure a manufacturing plant in small-town Minnesota, causes her to reconsider her professional and personal objectives once she settles into her new life."
And yet, if it's so predictable, why did I laugh out loud a few times while watching the trailer?
Renee Zellweger Chills in Marina del Rey and Manhattan
Renee Zellweger popped up looking sunny and ready for a workout on the set of her movie Chilled in Miami in Marina del Rey, CA yesterday afternoon. The outfit is a far cry from the period outfit we saw her filming another movie in recently, but this look seems to fit Renee perfectly. While the LA area Summer seems to be treating the actress well, NYC is where she's putting down some roots — she recently acquired another apartment in an Upper East Side of Manhattan co-op, making the total $8.2 million of property.
Renee Wigs Out in Miami
After a quick Oscar time glamor break, Renee Zellweger was back on the set of Chilled in Miami yesterday. This time, however, she didn't have to brave freezing Canada and instead actually got to film in much warmer Miami. She was still all bundled up in a jacket despite being in the more tropical setting and spent some time fiddling with her wig.
Renée Zellweger Needs Some Mittens
Renée Zellweger was still finding ways to stay warm filming her new movie Chilled in Miami in Winnipeg, Canada on Friday. I'm sure the movie star didn't have to spend too much time waiting around outside in the freezing weather, but those bare fingers of hers make me cold just looking at them. While this movie sounds like it should be a cute little romantic comedy about a Miami businesswoman who moves to Minnesota for work and ends up falling in love with the town and trying to save the factory she's been sent to restructure, I'm still more excited to see her in Leatherheads.
Renée Is Covered All Ova' in Manitoba
Okay, so that rhyme is a bit of a stretch, but Renée Zellweger does deserve some props for braving the freezing cold temperatures filming her new movie, Chilled in Miami, in Manitoba, Canada yesterday. While Renée gets a pretty cute costar in Harry Connick Jr. for this film, nothing quite compares to her Leatherheads duo of George Clooney and John Krasinski. Not too much longer to wait for that one, finally — April is just around the corner.
Renee Zellweger and Harry Connick Jr. Chill in Miami
As the title suggests, these two are in negotiations to star together in a movie. The "fish out of water comedy" is titled Chilled in Miami and "centers on a Miami businesswoman who's transferred to the sticks of Minnesota."
The original title for this project was 32 and Single, so I'm certainly relieved to see that at least they changed that up (because, you know, it's the 2000s now and being 32 and single isn't all that unusual or tragic).
