What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday

BuzzSugar — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 11:30:19 -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. Check out this week's picks!

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past
I admittedly wasn't a fan of Ghosts of Girlfriends Past when it came out in theaters, but it may be worth considering if you're in the mood for a romantic comedy that doesn't make you think too much. The premise: When playboy Connor Mead (Matthew McConaughey) attends his brother's wedding, he runs into his first love Jenny (Jennifer Garner), setting off a Christmas Carol-like chain of events, complete with ghosts. Yes, the plot's contrived and Connor is incredibly smarmy, but I enjoyed the supporting cast of characters, especially Emma Stone as an 80's ghost with a bad perm and Michael Douglas as Connor's Lothario uncle.

Observe and Report
Observe and Report follows a self-important, semi-delusional mall security cop (Seth Rogen) who flips out when he realizes he may not become a police officer - or win over the makeup counter girl of his dreams (Anna Faris). When I first reviewed it, I was surprised by how dark the film turned out to be for a Rogen and Faris comedy. Still, it does have a few laugh-worthy moments, and Rogen fans will probably want to add this to their must-see list.

Lymelife
Set in the 1970s, Lymelife is an ensemble drama that follows two families in a Long Island neighborhood dealing with a Lyme disease scare. It boasts a decent ensemble cast, including Cynthia Nixon, Alec Baldwin, and Timothy Hutton, but Rory Culkin (yes, Macaulay's brother) is the heart of the film as a 15-year-old struggling in the midst of messed-up chaos. (Emma Roberts also turns in a memorable performance as his crush.) The reviews were mixed when the film released in theaters, but if twisted suburbia is your thing (i.e., American Beauty or The Ice Storm), then Lymelife is worth checking out. Bonus material includes an alternate ending.

Sugardaddy: Matthew McConaughey

LilSugar — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 09:00:00 -0700

After spending years flashing his six-pack abs and antics in what seemed to be an endless parade of shirtless photos, Matthew McConaughey is creating a different type of stir as father to nine-month old, Levi. The ultimate bachelor, who will always hold a place in our hearts as stoner David Wooderson in Dazed and Confused, continues to play the romantic lead in hilarious movies like How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, and next month's Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. But, since he became a parent to his son with girlfriend Camila Alves, McConaughey is a laid back daddy who manages to incorporate his lil guy into all his daily activities from surfing to movie premieres to beach strolls.

Following Levi's birth, McConaughey said:

"Everyone talked about how, oh, you have a kid, life changes, it's like 180 degrees on a dime full stop, wow. And a lot of them had an insinuation under that like, you have to stop living your life as you live it. That hasn't been the case."

While he may no longer embrace his most famous line from Dazed and Confused, "I keep getting older; they stay the same age," his take on incorporating a lil one into your lifestyle and loving it can be heeded by all new parents.

Jennifer Garner Is Ready to Walk Down the Aisle Again!

PopSugar — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 12:45:43 -0700

Jennifer Garner looked like a beautiful bride while shooting a scene for Ghosts of Girlfriends Past in Massachusetts. No word on whether or not Matthew McConaughey will be the groom or the jealous exboyfriend, but whoever the man turns out to be is a lucky costar. It must be cool to get all the fun of being a bride without the stress of planning a wedding. Speaking of which, have you checked out IDoSugar yet?

Jen, Matthew and Some Flowing Locks of Girlfriends Past

Molly — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 13:30:51 -0800

Yesterday we got our first look at Matthew McConaughey and Jennifer Garner on the set of The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past in Massachusetts, and now they're really getting down to business. I'm going to venture a guess that this is a flashback of sorts back to MM's character's days as a young artsy photographer type - hilarious. Considering it was only recently that Matty cut his locks (not quite this long) it can't be too much of a stretch for him. Jennifer on the other hand has obviously figured out a way to deal with the cold, but she'll be returning to warmer climates soon enough to fulfill her role as a presenter at Sunday's Oscars.

Jennifer Haunts MM's Past

PopSugar — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 07:05:00 -0800

Matthew McConaughey and Jennifer Garner got to work on their new movie, The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, in Massachusetts yesterday. The pretty pair is teaming up for the romantic comedy, where MM gets to play a heart breaking ladies' man. We're psyched to see Jennifer getting back to movies after Broadway, although we hope this doesn't mean fewer photos of her with adorable Violet. The family spent a summer in Boston when Ben was making Gone Baby Gone, but now that Violet's a little older there's even more Beantown fun for her to have. As for Matthew, we're sure that even in the New England Winter he'll find a way to run around set without a shirt on.

Matthew Will Confront Ghosts of Girlfriends Past

Molly — Mon, 13 Aug 2007 15:30:48 -0700

Matthew McConaughey pulled his lengthy locks out of his face for some hardcore frisbee on the beach over the weekend. It looks like the weather in LA was perfect for MM and his penchant for shirtlessness. While the whole beach fitness Matt can get a little tedious, I still have a little bit of love for him from movies like A Time to Kill and How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days. This next movie roll might be another guilty pleasure McConaughey romantic comedy -- he's signed on to star in The Ghost of Girlfriends Past, in which he plays a womanizer who "has a magical comeuppance on Christmas, where he learns the error of his ways like Scrooge. It’s Scrooge, but with hot chicks." Sounds right up Matty's alley.

Lots more of MM running around on the beach and showing off that ponytail so read more

Matthew McConaughey Keeps His Hairs in Line

Molly — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 11:30:23 -0700

Matthew McConaughey got a little last-minute hair touchup (I know it's standard procedure, still hilarious) on the set of The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past in Boston last night. Seriously, celebrity party in Beantown, holla! MM's actually been looking pretty good these days with the well-coiffed hair and shirt-wearing. We haven't seen Camila in a while, but their little traveling baby can't be too far away. I can't wait to see the little beach bum in the making.
