What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday

BuzzSugar — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 06:30:13 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. 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 PDT

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.

Sienna and Keira Are on the Edge of Their Seats

Molly — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 16:00:52 PDT

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.

Movie Preview: The Gorgeous Dylan Thomas Movie With Keira and Sienna

BuzzSugar — Thu, 15 May 2008 11:45:47 PDT

Wow, the trailer for The Edge of Love (previously titled The Best Time of Our Lives) looks breathtakingly beautiful. 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 (the ever-chilling 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.

Comparisons could be made to Atonement, for sure, as the visual tone of the film has that same sweeping, desperate romance (and the hair, makeup and costume artists have done an impeccable job on this film as well). Knightley even says her husky "Come back" in the trailer. But it also looks distinctly, grippingly different. Especially for those of you who enjoyed Becoming Jane, or any number of other dramatic films about writers' lives, you must treat yourself to this extremely beautiful trailer.

There's no U.S. release date yet (sad!) but the film premieres at the Edinburgh Film Festival on June 18 and opens elsewhere in the UK June 20. To watch the trailer,

It's Almost Time To Plunge Into Pirates

PopSugar — Wed, 16 May 2007 08:25:00 PDT

Keira and Sienna got giggly on the set of The Best Time of Our Lives in North Wales this week. Since Sienna's already been spotted in NYC, we have a feeling Keira will be leaving the UK as well - to grace a lot of red carpets with her hot Pirates co-stars. Pirates of The Caribbean: At World's End hits the theaters on May 25th, and while the hype hasn't been quite up to Spider-man level, we're willing to bet that the franchise will give Spidey a run for its money. But don't take our word for it - check out lots of new clips and photos of the movie and see for yourself.

Sienna Swaddles Herself in Down Between Takes

Molly — Wed, 09 May 2007 08:25:00 PDT

Is it just me, or is Sienna channeling a tiny bit of Rachel McAdams cuteness in these photos of her on the set of The Best Time of Our Lives? Maybe it's just the slightly Notebook-esque hair.* While it's still weird to see Sienna as a non-blonde, it's honestly refreshing to see her having so much fun on set, even all bundled up. With Keira about to step into serious gear promoting Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, I think we'll be seeing a lot of solo Sienna on set. She must be sad to be losing her buddy for a bit.

*Okay, maybe I just miss The Notebook.

Sienna & Keira Enjoying the Best Time of Their Lives

PopSugar — Tue, 08 May 2007 07:05:00 PDT

Sienna and Keira are living up to the name of their latest film, The Best Time of Our Lives. The co-stars just started filming in North Wales and while it may not be sunny and gorgeous, these girls seem to be having a blast together. I can't say so much about their unfashionable looks but I will give them a break since I have to assume it has something to do with their characters' costumes. I could hardly imagine Sienna wearing that in real life. Looks like Lindsay missed out on a fun time since Sienna just took her place. Besides, LL is going to be busy covering up that coke scandal.

Sienna Replaces LL in Dylan Thomas Film

PopSugar — Mon, 23 Apr 2007 16:06:43 PDT

Lindsay is looking, well...gold for the upcoming issue of Allure magazine in which she gives one of her usually bizarre interviews. We've been a little worried about LL who's once again partying like crazy and just dropped out of The Best Time of Our Lives which she was supposed to start shooting in early May. Luckily producers didn't have to look too far for a replacement. Sienna Miller will now be put in the role as Dylan Thomas' wife and lesbian love interest of his childhood friend played by Keira Knightley. Have to say this is probably a better match. We just can't picture Lindsay with an English accent!

Alexis, Olivia, Jordana, and More Show Off Cool-Girl Summer Style at the Coach Fete - Who's Most Fab?

Marisa Tom — Fri, 25 May 2012 10:24:00 PDT

For a super Summer-inspired fix of flirty frocks, colorful bags, and must-have sandals, look no further than the stylish celebs making the rounds at Coach's cocktail-cum-charity benefit party in LA yesterday evening. Aside from the brand's slick leather-and-tassel satchels providing a cool accessorized boost, we loved the variety of sunny styles - girlie, muted sophistication, and all-out brights - spotted on the likes of Alexis Bledel, Olivia Munn, Jordana Brewster, and Kristen Bell. While Olivia opted for a Naven neon pink miniskirt and Jordana kept it cool in silver-gray tones, Alexis chose a butterfly-printed Tucker dress for the occasion. For a tougher edge, check out Malin Akerman's leather Mandy Coon number, or for a more Parisian-chic vibe, channel Nikki Reed's Finders Keepers shirtdress look.

We're With the Band: Rock the Vintage-Tee Trend For an Infinitely Cool Outfit Twist

Hannah Weil — Tue, 22 May 2012 14:53:09 PDT

A look at Ashley Madekwe, Jessica Stroup, and Kristen Stewart's looks inspired one thought: these girls look seriously cool. The common denominator in each of their ensembles is a sweet, vintage-feeling t-shirt that takes jeans and shorts to an infinitely more awesome place. Sure, a white cotton tee or your favorite tank could top your separates just as easily, but a t-shirt that pays homage to your best-loved bands or touts a favorite saying delivers the kind of cool-girl edge that makes these style-setters' looks pop. Dress up the look à la Ashley Madekwe with pointed pumps and statement earrings, or add a blazer and studded loafers for a pulled-together everyday style that delivers more of a statement. If you're feeling Jessica Stroup's take on the trend, then reach for lacy shorts and ankle boots to further the '90s feel. Any way you choose to wear yours, the effect is universally cool. Just shop our editors' picks to find your own tee, or head to your local thrift stores and flea markets to seek out the style that suits you best.
