What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday

BuzzSugar — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 06:30:13 -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. Also out this week: The Haunting in Connecticut and ER: Season 11.

Grey Gardens
Like so many others, I am endlessly fascinated by the Beale women whose lives were captured in a 1975 documentary film by Albert and David Maysles. Between their odd lifestyle on a once lavish estate and their familial connection to Jackie Kennedy Onassis, the stories of both Edith Beales beg for a biopic. Now the HBO movie starring Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange is out on DVD and both turn in outstanding performances as daughter and socialite mother. If you didn't catch this when it aired on television, now's your chance to settle in and enter the bizarre and transfixing world of the Beales.

Special features include audio commentary with executive producers Michael Sucsy, Lucy Barzun Donnelly and Rachael Horovitz, a featurette titled "Grey Gardens: Then and Now," interviews with Drew Barrymore, Jessica Lange and the Emmy-winning director of the documentary, Albert Maysles.

The Edge of Love
I feel like I was just writing about this movie and then - bam! It's out on DVD. I guess it didn't get a real release here in the States. Well, I still want to see it.

The film follows the true story of a love triangle between the poet Dylan Thomas (played by Brothers and Sisters' Matthew Rhys), his wife Caitlin (Sienna Miller) and a woman named Vera Phillips (Keira Knightley). Vera eventually married William Killick (Cillian Murphy) but still couldn't tear herself away from her poet - despite becoming close friends with Caitlin. In the strange real-life story, the jealous William ultimately attacked Dylan and Caitlin's house.

Special features include commentary with director John Maybury and Matthew Rhys, a "Looking Over The Edge of Love" featurette, outtakes, and the theatrical trailer.

Mad Men: Season Two
I'm so excited for Mad Men to return to my TV on Aug. 16! I might even shake up a commemorative martini to drink during the premiere. If you missed the second season, well, now there is no excuse for not experiencing the awesomeness of this show. Then again, I have to say watching these episodes back-to-back without a week-long breather is probably intense. In this season so much happens, it makes the head spin.

Special features include feature-length audio commentaries on all episodes, a "Birth of an Independent Woman" featurette examining the rise of female independence in the 1960s, and a featurette titled "An Era of Style" that takes a close look into the fashion of the 1960s and its influence on designers today.

Keira Doesn't Mind a Little Nudity

PopSugar — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 10:00:00 -0700

Last night Pop and Fab UK got to attend a private party with Keira Knightley and Sienna Miller for their new movie, The Edge of Love, at the Berkeley Hotel in London. The ladies looked beautiful in their purple and white dresses - click here to learn more about what they are wearing and who they brought as their dates. Keira admitted to being scared to sing on camera, but she had no problem taking off her bra. She said, "It was very simple. It was a sex scene and I never like them when they've got bras on." So when the director asked her to remove her bra, "I said, 'All right then.'" People love to debate Keira's confidence with her body, but it looks like she has no problem showing it off.

Fab Field Day: The Edge of Love London Premiere Party

FabSugarUK — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 04:00:30 -0700

Last night Pop UK and myself were lucky enough to be invited along to a VIP party hosted by Elle magazine for Sienna Miller's latest movie The Edge of Love. Both girls attended with their Mothers (Keira's actually wrote the film), other guests included Matthew Williamson (close friend of Sienna), Twiggy, KT Tunstall and Matthew Rhys.

Keira looked almost doll like in a gorgeous purple Erdem dress with Van Cleef and Arpels ring. Sienna opted for vintage Dior, a Sergio Rossi clutch and a pair of Christian Louboutins. Also, note how Sienna is in on the macho watch trend with her gold Rolex.

Pop Parties: Elle's The Edge Of Love Party

PopSugarUK — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 03:00:00 -0700

Last night Fab UK and I had the exciting opportunity to party with the stars of The Edge Of Love at the London screening party hosted by our lovely friends at Elle magazine. As you can imagine it was a really fun evening! Keira Knightley looked the picture of elegance in purple – she spent the evening mingling with all the guests, and laughed it up frequently with her screenwriter Mum Sharman Macdonald. Gorgeous Matthew Rhys was sipping on the champagne and enjoying the party, but he didn't have any embarassing moments like we saw on the red carpet in Edinburgh!

Sienna changed her dress after the screening and turned up to the party in a beautiful white dress – she's so stunning and petite. Elle have an interesting video from the London premiere before the party. The cast and guests all had a blast celebrating the movie, and Fab and I were no exceptions!

Love it or Hate it? Sienna's Top Hat

FabSugarUK — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 05:00:38 -0700

Sienna Miller loves her hats. In the July issue of Elle she commented, "I totally have bad hair days - why do you think I own so many hats?" This leads me to believe that for whatever reason, she just wasn't happy with her hair last night so she opted for a small top hat. I am so jealous of her hats as they really don't suit me but I love the idea of them. She wore this black ensemble for The Edge of Love World premiere in Edinburgh last night, but what do you make of her look? Too quirky?

Sienna's All Smiles At The Edge Of Edinburgh

PopSugarUK — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 04:00:00 -0700

Hats off to Sienna Miller who grinned her way down the red carpet at The Edge Of Love world premiere yesterday. The movie opened the Edinburgh International Film Festival, and Sienna and her co-stars Keira Knightley and Matthew Rhys were greeted by great Scot Sean Connery! Keira was not so smiley on the red carpet – she showed off that pout she's so well-known for – but the press trail mainly looks like it's been a blast for her and Sienna, as they've giggled their way through quizzes and interviews. It's clear these two Brit talents get on really well, and the chemistry looks set to spill over onscreen when the film's released in the UK this Friday.

FabSugarUK — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 23:00:30 -0700

Keira Knightley stopped by Radio One earlier in the week to talk about her latest movie The Edge of Love which premieres in London this evening. In usual understated Keira style she stepped out with messy hair and in a High Street bargain! I love her cute monochrome check dress, and you'll love it to when you find out that it's just £40 from Topshop. See below for a way to steal her style.

Sienna and Keira Are on the Edge of Their Seats

Molly — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 16:00:52 -0700

Keira Knightley headed north to Scotland after her radio interview in London yesterday to meet up with her co-stars from The Edge of Love for a photocall - where Sienna showed off a striped dress from her own line - and premiere of their film today. The girls posed on the red carpet with pal Matthew Rhys, whose close relationship with Sienna caused the jealousy that lead to her split from Rhys. It can't be easy for Rhys to see Sienna back next to Matthew, but seeking advice from Lindsay Lohan's sketchy ex, Calum Best, is probably not the best thing for a broken heart. Apart from the turmoil in her personal life, things are going great for Sienna professionally; she just landed a role in Ridley Scott's remake of Robin Hood alongside Russell Crowe.

Check Keira Out!

PopSugarUK — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 00:00:00 -0700

Keira Knightley is promoting, promoting, promoting with her The Edge Of Love co-star Sienna Miller at the moment. Yesterday Keira headed out to Radio 1 in her film-star sunnies and cute monochrome plaid dress. The film premieres at the Edinburgh International Film Festival tonight, and the stars will be in attendance – Matthew Rhys must have felt like the luckiest man in the world when he was told who would be playing his wife and who would be playing his lover, right?!
