Bring Marley Home on Blu-ray and DVD!

Sponsor — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 16:20:43 PDT

From the director of The Devil Wears Prada comes a hilarious and heartwarming comedy based on the No. 1 New York Times best seller Marley & Me.

Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson unleash huge laughs as John and Jenny Grogan, a young couple contemplating the decision to start a family. Then comes Marley, an adorable Labrador pup who flunks obedience school and quickly turns his new home into a disaster area. But with a heart as big as his appetite for trouble, Marley sees the Grogans through the ups and downs of life and love, and they ultimately realize that "the world's worst dog" truly brings out the best in them.

Bring home the "Bad Dog" Special Edition Blu-ray & DVD today!

What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday

BuzzSugar — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 07:30:03 PDT

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 take home Will Smith's drama Seven Pounds.

Slumdog Millionaire
Now that I've seen the movie and read the book I'm excited to go back and watch the movie again! Can you tell I'm into this flick? When this year's Oscar winner for Best Picture hit theaters, it began an epic journey into the hearts and minds of moviegoers around the globe, and I have a feeling many people will end up owning it on DVD.

The story follows an 18-year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, Jamal (Dev Patel), who is accused of cheating as a contestant on India's Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?. To prove his innocence he reflects back on his amazing life in director Danny Boyle's intense and inspiring movie.

Special features include "Slumdog Dreams: Danny Boyle and the Making of Slumdog Millionaire," deleted scenes, and commentary by Danny Boyle and Dev Patel.

Two more up next so

Marley & Me
Aw . . . puppy! Looks like the marketers of this movie know a good thing when they see it. I doubt many of you missed this movie while it was in theaters over the holidays, seeing as it did such good business at the box office. I found this movie, starring Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson, to be good-natured, earnest and cute.

It turns out to be pretty much exactly what you expect if you've seen the trailers and/or read the book on which the movie is based: A story about a crazy, uncontrollable dog who impacts a young couple's marriage in unexpected ways. It gets pretty emotional toward the end there, but otherwise it's too sweet to resist.

The special features look like a lot of fun and include 19 deleted scenes, commentary from director David Frankel, a "Finding Marley" featurette, an "On Set With Marley: Dog of All Trades" featurette, and an "Animal Adoption" featurette.

Ricky Gervais: Out of England: The Stand-Up Special
It doesn't get much better than Ricky Gervais doing stand-up. I could watch this courageous and hilarious man chat onstage for hours. Since I didn't catch it when it aired a couple of months ago, I'll leave it to Netflix for the show's description:

"Funnyman Ricky Gervais unleashes his formidable talent on Madison Square Garden - with political correctness taking a backseat - in his first special for HBO, home of his Emmy-winning series Extras. Gervais shares his thoughts on a variety of topics, including obesity, Nazis and nursery rhymes - even sacred cows such as physicist Stephen Hawking and Nelson Mandela are targets of the comic actor's stinging wit in this hilarious performance."

That sounds amazingly inappropriate, so count me in. Special features include a conversation with Ricky Gervais.

Jen and Owen Bring Their Marley Tour to England

PopSugar — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 15:30:26 PST

Jennifer Aniston matched her Burberry dress to her pretty eyes this evening for the London premiere of Marley & Me. Owen Wilson was also looking dapper in his suit, though he kept things playful with his sneakers. As Owen toured Europe to promote the film, his on-again lady love Kate Hudson has been busy partying it up at Milan Fashion Week. For now, though, Owen only needs one gorgeous woman by his side - and Jennifer looks happy to continue showing off this hit movie while she waits for her moment to kick some ass on screen.

BuzzSugar's Must Haves For March

BuzzSugar — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 15:30:23 PST

It's still cold outside, so thankfully there's plenty of at-home entertainment to be had in March. For starters, it's a great month for music with one album coming out by one of my favorite female vocalists and another by a band that I hope pumps out new music for years to come. There's also an Oscar-nominated movie arriving on DVD, along with a holiday holdover that will warm your heart during this final stretch of Winter. Ready to see my March picks? Just hit "Start."

Jennifer and Owen Chow Down in Deutschland

PopSugar — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 05:00:07 PST

Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson wrapped up their Italian adventures and headed to Germany to continue to promote Marley & Me in Europe. They were in Cologne on Saturday for a photo call before moving on to Dusseldorf to appear on Wetten dass. . . ? The show's host is known for getting his celebrity guests to do something crazy, and Jen showed her playful spirit by taking a bite of a doggy biscuit when they lost a bet. It's not exactly the yummy cuisine she's used to, but her dog Norman is probably quite proud of her back home in LA.

When in Rome Jen and Owen Keep Promoting Their Pup

PopSugar — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 07:42:08 PST

Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson had lots of smiles for the cameras this morning at the Rome photo call for Io & Marley. Jen traded in her floral print dress for basic black and looked comfortable as usual on her costars arm. This time the two got to pose against a pretty outdoor backdrop. Owen enjoyed Paris with Kate Hudson last weekend so maybe there will be a choice for John Mayer to come join Jen for a little European vacation while she's overseas.

Box Office: Gran Torino Drives Off With the Money

BuzzSugar — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 07:00:20 PST

Recently, Clint Eastwood's movies (whether he's behind the camera or in front of it) are often critical hits but that doesn't necessarily translate into immediate box office success - until now!

Eastwood's latest movie, Gran Torino, debuted this weekend in the top spot, earning a whopping $29 million! It seems fitting that a movie that is rumored to be Eastwood's swan song is also his "best nationwide opening of all time, both as an actor and director." If you're gonna go out, go out on top!

In second place came Bride Wars which defied expectations with $21.5 million after a brutal week of being panned by critics. The horror flick The Unborn followed behind the brides in the third spot. Marley and Me and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button rounded out the top five respectively.
