What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday

BuzzSugar — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 00:11:27 PST

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 these titles, you can now check out the second season of Big Love, High School Musical 2, and the indie movie Interview with Steve Buscemi and Sienna Miller.

The Bourne Ultimatum
This third installment in the Bourne series was one of the most refreshing things of the summer movie season. From the looks of my Best Action Flick of 2007 poll, you all seriously enjoyed it as well! This chapter of Bourne's story finds him bopping around Moscow, New York, Paris, Madrid, London, and Tangier as he continues to figure out his past. The DVD version boasts plenty of extras, from the audio commentary and deleted scenes to the many production featurettes, including pieces on the many locations they traveled to and the making of the chase and fight scenes.

The new DVD is packed with extras, most of which deal with behind-the-scenes stuff, like a backstage tour led by Natalia Tena (Tonks) and a featurette devoted to the magic of editing. Additionally there are plenty of clips with the actors, some deleted scenes, and way more. Carve out some time in your schedule to tackle this particular set of DVD special features!
Lost - Season Three For me, the third season of Lost was one of extremes: There were some of the worst episodes and some of the best. The second half of the season completely restored my faith in the show, which had been shaken by the mediocre first half that aired during the Fall of 2006. In addition to the full season's episodes, spread out among seven discs, there are some intriguing special features. I'm most curious about a featurette called "The Lost Book Club," in which the role of literature in Lost is explored by the show's cast and producers. In addition, there are never-before-seen flashbacks, an examination of "The World of the Others" in which people from the show take a look at the significance of the Others in the world of Lost, and several more featurettes.

Bourne, Timberlake Lead People's Choice Nominees

BuzzSugar — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 10:38:39 PST

Question: Where can you find Jamie Foxx, The Rock, and Joaquin Phoenix in the same place? Answer: The People's Choice Awards. The three are nominated for Favorite Leading Man for this year's awards, which include a pretty motley collection of stars overall.

The Bourne Identity snagged nominations in several of the movie categories, including Favorite Movie, Favorite Action Movie, and Favorite Threequel. (Yes, Favorite Threequel is a real category.) Matt Damon also nabbed a nomination for Favorite Action Star.

Jessica Alba and Johnny Depp got themselves two nominations each, she for Leading Lady and Female Action Star, he for Male Movie Star and Male Action Star. The TV categories were a total grab-bag, with nominations going to everything from House to the now-canceled King of Queens. And in the music categories, Justin Timberlake racked up two nominations - three if you count a nomination for the Timbaland song "Give It To Me," on which he's featured.

Voting is now open and will stay open for about a month; the show airs Jan. 8 on CBS with Queen Latifah hosting. To see the full list of nominees, just

Matt's Not Ready to See Bourne Go

PopSugar — Thu, 18 Oct 2007 10:58:19 PDT

Matt Damon showed off his killer smile at a photocall for The Bourne Ultimatum in Japan today. The mayhem may have died down here in the states, but clearly the movie is still going strong overseas. Back in August you guys said that you wanted to see a 4th Bourne movie and apparently Matt agrees! During his stint in Tokyo, he talked about his feelings about Jason Bourne and the possibility of not putting the character to rest just yet, saying,

"Personally, the character means a lot to me because the character has done so much for my career. You know, it put me in the position where I have a lot more choices of kind of movies I want to make. If [director] Paul Greengrass, maybe years down the road, was interested in doing another one, then I would do it, too. I don't think either of us completely put the character to bed yet."

We probably don't need to tell you how much we'd like to see another Bourne movie. Plus, after the huge success after the last film, it might not be such a bad idea for Matt either.

Damon Does Mexico

Molly — Tue, 04 Sep 2007 10:30:35 PDT

We were hoping we'd get to see all the Ocean's boys together at the Deauville Film Festival, but Matt already jetted off to make it to yesterday's Mexico City Bourne premiere. Even though it's already doing so well internationally, he's committed to promoting this film all over the world rather than phoning it in. Looks like his girls didn't come with him for this part of the tour, but I can't blame him for not wanting to fill up Isabella's passport too quickly. Hopefully pretty soon he'll be able to relax at home and get back to just being a dad for a little before his next big premiere.

Box Office: Halloween Slashes to No. 1 Spot

BuzzSugar — Tue, 04 Sep 2007 06:30:00 PDT

This holiday weekend, Rob Zombie's reimagined remake of horror classic Halloween took the box office crown, bringing in $31 million in sales over its three-day opening.

Superbad continues to do impressively well - this weekend the bawdy flick came in second place, just before ping-pong comedy Balls of Fury. The Bourne Ultimatum continued to be successful, coming in fourth place, while Rush Hour 3 followed behind at No. 5.

This upcoming weekend promises some interesting choices at the theaters: There's the gritty remake of the Western 3:10 to Yuma, the Clive Owen/Paul Giamatti action film Shoot 'Em Up and, for lighter fare, there's The Brothers Solomon starring Will Forte and Will Arnett.

Matt Damon Goes Gray

PopSugar — Mon, 03 Sep 2007 03:02:08 PDT

Matt Damon is still traveling the world promoting his summer hit movie, The Bourne Ultimatum. This time he is at the American Film Festival in Deauville, France. So far the movie has raked in almost $245 million worldwide! The actor recently admitted to feeling older and having a few grays hairs but we didn't believe it until now. Matty does have some gray hairs sprinkling in but we don't care. We know it happens to the sexiest of men so we welcome Matt aging gracefully. Besides, he's the type of guy to have a perpetual baby boy face so it's not like he needs to worry.

For lots more pics of Matt in gray, going gray and posing on the red carpet with his lucky wife, Luciana, just read more

Box Office: Superbad Has Super Staying Power

BuzzSugar — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 00:01:15 PDT

Teen raunch comedy Superbad continued to get tons of McLovin from audiences this weekend as it reigned at the box office for the second weekend in a row. Overall, this weekend's box office sales were somewhat unusual, with older movies taking the top three slots before the new releases. The Bourne Ultimatum came in second place - a nice accomplishment in the movie's third weekend in theaters - while Rush Hour 3 stayed strong at No. 3.

Mr. Bean's Holiday came in just slightly ahead of Jet Li's action flick War, the two films taking fourth and fifth places respectively. Meanwhile, The Nanny Diaries opened at No. 6 in the box office lineup, raking in just $7.8 million.

Superbad actually has a chance of taking the top slot a third weekend in a row this upcoming holiday weekend. The only real competition comes from Rob Zombie's Halloween and the bumbling comedy Balls of Fury. My money's on McLovin and Co.

Damon Doesn't Leave Home Without His Girls

PopSugar — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 23:31:52 PDT

Matt and Luciana got all decked out for yet another premiere of The Bourne Ultimatum in Berlin last night. It must be tiring for Matt's family - especially adorable Isabella - to follow him all over the world for his projects, but apparently he can't function without them. He said, "The only time they haven't come with me was for the Tangier sequence of this film and as soon as I got there I realized it was a mistake. Being apart wasn't good for any of us, so now they come everywhere with me." Aww, we just can't get enough of Daddy Damon - even if he claims that his cute family is making him a little worse for the wear.

How Fatherhood Fattened Up Matt Damon

PopSugar — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 15:12:27 PDT

Matt Damon is looking younger and better than ever these days while promoting The Bourne Ultimatum overseas in Berlin, but the actor was recently joking about how fatherhood has made him out of shape. He spoke about how he used to work all day and head to the gym at night since he had no reason to get home. Isabella is 14 months old and his whole life has changed as he rushes home now to see his girls before they go to bed. He said:

"I've had the same personal trainer on all the Bourne films but once he left this time, that was it for me and working out because I wanted to get home to see my daughter before she went to sleep.... Towards the end of filming they had to shoot around my belly," Damon jokes. "If you pay close attention you'll see the zipper on my jacket creeping up and up. I had to keep that jacket on."

"Halfway through the movie [director] Paul Greengrass looked at me and said, 'You look terrible,' " says Damon. "I told him, 'I'm sorry. I'm awake all night with the baby,' to which he said, 'No, it's really good. She came along just at the right time – she's really helping your performance,' "

We love that Matt has turned into such a family man. We were always a big fan of him as a fabulous actor but this version makes him even sexier!

Our First Disagreement With Damon

PopSugar — Thu, 16 Aug 2007 15:20:09 PDT

Matt continued to make his way around London today, promoting The Bourne Ultimatum and posing for pictures with fans. Our favorite action hero may also be an international heartthrob, but silly Matt seems to think that he's already an old man at 36, saying, "I've got more grey hairs than Brad Pitt. We're not as young as we used to be. Fatherhood has changed us. No more late nights and hanging around Ronnie Scott's listening to jazz like we used to." You gotta love when Matt casually drops the name of one of his Ocean's Thirteen buddies. As far as being old - grey hairs or not, he has definitely not passed his prime in our eyes.
