What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday

BuzzSugar — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 06:30:00 -0800

It's Tuesday, so you know what that means - new DVD releases just in time for the Thanksgiving break! I've already shared some fresh music picks, but here are three movies to add to your Netflix queue for the weekend.

Funny People

Adam Sandler plays a comedian who tries to turn his life around and befriend a past love (Leslie Mann) after being diagnosed with a blood disorder; Seth Rogen steps in as his idealistic assistant. Both men turn in solid performances in Funny People, and there are laughs, even though this is way more serious than director Judd Apatow's previous work. One of my complaints in the theater was that it was much too long, but that's the good thing about DVDs - you can always hit pause and go back later.

The single disc version includes a gag reel and a feature commentary with Apatow, Rogen, and Sandler. (Normally I don't watch with the commentary on, but in this case, I might just tune in for their wise cracks.) The special two-disc collector's version is loaded with extras, including a 13-year old Seth Rogen doing stand-up!

Four Christmases

I love Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon, and while they don't necessarily have any sparks in Four Christmases, they still serve up a cute comedy. The pair star as a couple stuck visiting four sets of relatives around the holidays - his mom, her mom, his dad, her dad. And while it's not the funniest or most charming film that either actor has done, I still had a few laughs, especially thanks to the supporting cast of quirky characters (Jon Favreau and Kristin Chenoweth in particular). Even if it doesn't stack up against the classics in my holiday movie faceoff, it's worth trying if you're looking to get into the spirit of the season.

Angels and Demons

Tom Hanks fans have Angels and Demons to look forward to. The actor is incredibly long-winded in the follow-up film to The DaVinci Code, but at least he's no longer sporting that ridiculous bouffant hairdo. This time, Robert Langdon tries to save the Vatican from an ancient group known as the Illuminati. Personally, I was bored by the first half when I saw the film in theaters, but the second part is actually fun - so if you catch it at home, you may want to fast forward a bit to get to the good stuff.

Special features include behind-the-scenes featurettes.

On Our Radar: Angels Costume Sale

FabSugarUK — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 03:16:20 -0800

If you're looking for a great costume in London, then look no further than Angels which is an Oscar-winning wardrobe supplier! Last year the store had it's first ever clearance sale and it attracted enormous queues of fashion lovers all hopeful to bag a unique bargain. They've decided to do it again to sell over 250,000 items dating from 1900 onwards.

Expect there to be a lot of military items (very Balmain) with prices fixed at £20 for all coats and helmets and £10 for caps. The sale will take place on Saturday 28th November from 8.30am to 5pm at 3 Boundary Road, Wembley, HA9 7ND. Happy Shopping!

Modesty Is the Policy For Colin Hanks's Los Angeles Purchase

CasaSugar — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 11:00:30 -0700

You might expect the son of a renowned star like Tom Hanks to swoop up a sprawling Hollywood mansion at first chance, courtesy of Dad. But Colin Hanks is determined to be an actor in his own right and has his priorities straight. Thus, he's quietly purchased a modest two-bedroom, 1.75-bath home in Los Angeles for just over $1 million. While not opulent by any means, the property, designed by distinguished architect Paul R. Williams, does have historical value. It features a large open living room with high ceilings, a fireplace, and a bank of windows, a full dining room, and a sunny kitchen. The home's two bedrooms are raised a few steps and each have en-suite baths and a library. The house has wonderful city views and lush landscaping that I imagine offers lots of privacy for the budding star. I think it's a really sharp house, and elements like marble countertops, beautiful hardwood floors, and rich ceiling beams are great selling points. Take a tour when you read more.

I Want This Wardrobe: Charlie's Angels 2, Full Throttle Round Up!

FabSugar — Fri, 10 Aug 2007 16:00:22 -0700

Though our I Want This Wardrobe series dedicated to the ass-kicking chick flicks Charlie's Angels and Charlie's Angels 2, Full Throttle have come to an end, there were a few important lessons to be learned.

First, don't take life too seriously; movies like this are great, silly fun and some may deem it cheesy but hey, cheese is a spice of life. Second, Cameron, Drew and Lucy are all positive role models, both on screen and off; they are beautiful, independent, successful women. Third, any normal day can be made more fun by a little espionage fantasy and dress up, so go on, and delve into the stealth side. Hiii-ya!

We hope you enjoyed our series and wardrobe breakdowns. Let us know if you have any I Want This Wardrobe requests!

I Want This Wardrobe: Charlie's Angels 2, Full Throttle

FabSugar — Thu, 09 Aug 2007 14:00:22 -0700

Nothing beats a little bar time in outer Mongolia, not if you're an Angel on a mission in Charlie's Angels Full Throttle, anyway! Cammie plays the Nordic snow bunny, complete with pom-poms and furry boots (cute!), Lucy is always suitably bad-ass in black, and Drew, well, she provides some excellent back-up!

And good back-up the girls will need, when they're up against "fallen Angel" Demi Moore, all villainess in lace and fur, her only accessory the menacing gun. As they say, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned...

I Want This Wardrobe: Charlie's Angels 2, Full Throttle

FabSugar — Fri, 10 Aug 2007 11:30:22 -0700

Being an Angel isn't just all about kicking ass and taking names: we've all learned it's important to look good along the way! Lucy, Drew, and Cam take some time off from going undercover in Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, and focus on looking like their normal, albeit smokin', selves.

Dressy clothes are fun, but soon it's back to business. The girls whip out their Speed Racer jumpsuits and bikinis, and pull a fast one at the car wash. Then, in the blink of an eye, they're back in stealth mode, in black and leather from head to toe. Arms raised and ready, to steal our hearts...

I Want This Wardrobe: Charlie's Angels 2, Full Throttle

FabSugar — Wed, 08 Aug 2007 10:30:22 -0700

Charlie's Angels 2, Full Throttle is so much fun to watch, partially because the Angels aren't afraid to get a little raunchy! Their hijinks are ridiculously entertaining, and they have killer style to boot. These skimpy Pussy Cat Doll costumes would be great fun to adapt for Halloween with the help of a few friends.

If low key is more your style, however, take a cue from the espionage-worthy looks on the speed boat. Lots of cute denim to go around, and you'll be ready to make a stylish getaway! You never know when that might be an occupational hazard.

I Want This Wardrobe: Charlie's Angels 2, Full Throttle

FabSugar — Tue, 07 Aug 2007 12:00:22 -0700

One of the best parts about Charlie's Angels Full Throttle was Demi Moore's comeback - and dang, did she ever come back! She and Cameron looked totally smokin' in their itsy bitsy teeny weeny bikinis, ready to hit the waves. Total beach babes.

These ladies give us some great beach-ready inspiration, but sadly we can't strut around, all strings and triangles, all the time. So make sure you take a peek under the cut for more clothed (but still way sexy) action from all three Angels.

New Charlie's Angels TV Show Planned on ABC

BuzzSugar — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 14:30:27 -0800

Word is that ABC is close to finalizing a deal to bring another version of Charlie's Angels to TV.

This new series would be a "modern version" of the '70s hit, and yes, I know you're thinking that we already got a modern version with the 2000 movie Charlie's Angels and its sequel. Interestingly, Drew Barrymore is involved in this new series somehow (I'm guessing production), as is Leonard Goldberg who produced the original series. Josh Friedman (of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles) will write and exec produce.

Whether or not you think it's a great idea to remake, it would provide plum prime time roles for three actresses. If you had your pick, who would you cast in this new series? I hear Mischa Barton and Ashlee Simpson need new gigs. I'm kidding, but what are your ideas?

At last, Charlie's Angels' missions have come to an end. But it's not over until the sexy trio get splashed! Even clad in wet leather, the Angels look quite divine, though this is a hard look to pull off in real life. Once they have dried off, the gals gets into their club gear and party the night away...Charlie's Angels style! (Side note: since their evening ensembles are a bit outdated, I gave them more modern looks). Enjoy!
