What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday

BuzzSugar — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 06:30:00 -0800

There's a silver lining to TV shows going into reruns, and it's more time to watch movies! Happily, today there are a few highly-anticipated flicks, and I've gone through them to tell you What to Netflix. In addition to the three movies mentioned below, you can also catch Robert Pattinson's pre-Twilight dramedy How to Be.

Star Trek

This year's updated version of Star Trek turned the franchise on its head. With hot young things Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto in the beloved roles of Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock, the film completely changed the series' history so they could start over with a fresh new story.

It worked like gangbusters: the space-set action movie is clever, entertaining, and tons of fun. It manages to make a sex symbol out of a pointy-eared geek, whom I personally drooled over. The movie manages to pay respect to the original, so those fans are still happy, while pleasing folks who weren't fans of the first (like myself).

The DVD's got lots of extras, including deleted scenes, a special feature on casting and a gag reel.

Bruno

Sacha Baron Cohen's mockumentary follow up to 2006's wildly successful Borat, Bruno is more of the same: cringe-worthy setups that make for laughs. This time, though, the envelope that was pushed in the former is torn to pieces in the latter. It's not for the faint of heart or easily offended, but if you like Baron Cohen's humor, you'll appreciate the awkward-beyond-words situations.

I was torn - I wanted to laugh as hard as I did at Borat, but most of the time I was just wincing.

DVD extras include alternate and deleted scenes, as well as enhanced commentary.

My Sister's Keeper

Need a good cry? Rent the tearjerker My Sister's Keeper. The drama stars Cameron Diaz as a mother presiding over her Leukemia-stricken daughter Kate, and the child they had in order to provide a kidney donor for Kate, Anna - who's played wonderfully by Abigail Breslin. When Anna sues her own parents for the rights to decide what to do with her own body, Diaz and her husband Jason Patric try to figure out what's really going with her.

I was definitely moved by the film, but you'd have to be made of stone not to, considering the subject matter. If you read the book, take heed: the ending in the film isn't exactly the same.

My Sister's Keeper - See It or Skip It?

PopSugarUK — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 08:17:11 -0700

My Sister's Keeper is an adaptation from a Jodi Picoult novel starring Cameron Diaz, Alec Baldwin and Abigail Breslin, about a family dealing with their daughter's illness and a huge decision that her sister makes. I really enjoyed the novel and I'm looking forward to seeing it brought to the big screen. Directed by The Notebook's Nick Cassavetes, the movie's out on June 26 in the UK. Check out the trailer and let me know what you think - will you see it, or will you skip it?

My Sister's Keeper: As a Mom What Would You Do?

LilSugar — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 08:00:09 -0700

My Sister's Keeper is a must see for mothers. Bring a box of tissues and prepare to empty your tear ducts during the entire experience. Unlike most films that escalate this one puts a lump into your throat just moments after starting. Cameron Diaz plays a pretty convincing Sara Fitzgerald, an attorney and mother of two who finds out her young daughter, Kate (Sofia Vassilieva), has cancer and her slightly older son, Jesse (Evan Ellingson), is not a donor match. So to save the child's life, Sara and her husband, Brian (Jason Patric) genetically conceive another baby, Anna (Abigail Breslin).

After eleven years of surgery and of donating body parts to her older sister, Anna hires a lawyer and sues her parents for the right to her own body. Sara is torn between the love she has for all her kids and the need to keep Kate (who needs a kidney) alive. It's hard to digest the tearjerker, and the powerful scenes played out at times with just looks between characters and not feel their pain, their confusion and love, and wonder as a parent what you would do. If you found out your child were terminally ill, would you genetically engineer another to save his or her life?

PopSugar — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 12:30:10 -0700

Cameron Diaz was up bright and early for another morning of promoting My Sister's Keeper, this time stopping by The Early Show with her costar Sofia Vassilieva. The ladies discussed their roles in the tearjerker, but last night at the NYC red carpet premiere, Cameron was ready to talk about her next project. She shared her excitement about working with Tom Cruise again and how much she loved getting her Walk of Fame star with Tom and Katie watching earlier this week. Tomorrow we'll see Cameron in My Sister's Keeper, but first here's a brand new preview of her scary movie The Box, which is out in October.

Cameron and Abigail Keep Things Pretty in NYC

Molly — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 06:00:00 -0700

Cameron Diaz struck a sexy pose in white at the red carpet premiere of My Sister's Keeper in NYC last night. Her young costar Abigail Breslin chose a pretty pale pink while Rachel Zoe stuck with her staple drapey black. The movie is out tomorrow and will show us new sides of both Cameron and Abigail's acting abilities. Cameron has taken the lead on much of the publicity for the movie including her stop by Good Morning America yesterday and the unveiling of her star on the walk of fame on Monday. Breslin also got to talk a bit about what it was like to work with Cameron saying, "She kept things fun. She was always cooking us fajitas or Philly cheese steaks. There was a lot of kindness on set. It was very nurturing." Sounds like that hint of maternal instinct isn't so far from real life for Cameron after all.

To see more from the premiere including Jason Patric, Thomas Dekker, Sofia Vassilieva and others just read more.

It's Easy Being Green For Cameron Diaz in Marie Claire

PopSugar — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 11:00:00 -0700

Cameron Diaz scored another July magazine cover, this time on Marie Claire. Like in her Vogue spread, Cameron talked about both her new movie, My Sister's Keeper, and the activism that's made her one of the most eco-friendly celebs. She took someone from the magazine along as she produced a short, exclusive video - check it out here - about what we can all do to help the planet, while also discussing her work, life, and fame. Here's more:

On being comfortable with her fame: "I just have a lot of friends. That's how I think of it. It's nice to see people smile . . . Every once in a while, you'll have those moments when people give you the stink eye. And you're like, 'What the f*ck is your problem? What, am I horrific-looking?' But really what they're thinking is, Am I seeing who I think I'm seeing? It's just a shock . . . I don't have any problem with being famous. I've completely made peace with being recognizable and people wanting to peek into my life in some way."
On her early days: "I had the good fortune of becoming famous once I had already lived a life, traveled a lot, stood in line, had to ask people to help me, had to find a way to make something work, pay the rent, scrape by . . . I used to do $4 a day with a girlfriend. We would get two tacos and split a Coke."
On this film project: "I was like, I'm going to get a camera, and I'm going to mobile-home it across the country, and I'm just going to find out what people are thinking. What would it take for the common person to become engaged. There's a lot of great minds out there who are thinking about this, who are coming up with solutions. Not to crash anybody's party, but to actually make the party better. Really, that's what it's about - that's my participation in it."
