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.

It's Always Sunny With Reese Witherspoon

Molly — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:00:01 -0800

Reese Witherspoon had her hands full with her eco friendly water bottle and a hot drink after lunch with a friend in Beverly Hills yesterday. Stylish Reese looked perfectly put together as she multitasked with a big smile on her face. Her boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal has been busy with important projects like stopping by Sesame Street and showing off his sweet smile, but his newest movie Brothers will show off a much more serious side of the handsome actor.

Reese Hits the Gym Without Sexy Man Jake

PopSugar — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 02:00:00 -0800

Reese Witherspoon displayed a monogrammed tote as she exited the gym in LA yesterday. The petite actress has lots to smile about this week as her hot boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal made the list of People's Sexiest Men Alive. While she didn't mention Jake on her recent visit to The Tonight Show, she did talk about spending time on her Ojai farm and the funny habits she's picked up around the house. While she and Jake aren't ones to do red carpets together, it would still be fun to see her by his side as he promotes his latest film Brothers.

She's back in the city after her relaxing weekend in Ojai with Ava and Deacon, diving right back into her weekday shopping routine.

Reese Gets Away With Deacon and Ava

PopSugar — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 16:00:00 -0800

Reese Witherspoon headed out of LA to spend her weekend in Ojai with Ava and Deacon. She paid a visit to a local farmers market on Sunday before stopping by a bookstore, where Deacon picked out a book of his own. Reese took a break to relax after making the talk show rounds to promote her new fragrance. She might be called back into duty if she accompanies Jake during his upcoming Prince of Persia promotion, but she always has her country getaway just an hour and a half away if she needs a break from the madness of LA.

Reese Stocks Up and Talks Away

PopSugar — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 17:00:24 -0800

Reese Witherspoon swung by the Peninsula Hotel in LA yesterday after taking care of her shopping. Despite having picked up a few new items, Reese was decked out in a familiar dress. She kept it casual this morning, though, when she headed out to pay a visit to her salon. Tonight we'll get to see those famous locks during her chat with Conan O'Brien on The Tonight Show. She's a regular on the talk-show circuit after a recent stop by Good Morning America, where she chatted all about her new fragrance In Bloom.

Reese Battles Jake For Title of Best Bod

PopSugar — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 14:30:10 -0800

Reese Witherspoon kept her shades on while enjoying a shopping spree in LA earlier today. The petite actress showed off her well toned legs in a Phillip Lim skirt (now on sale!), proof that those daily jogs and sprints around the softball field have done a body good. Reese isn't the only one showing off her muscles, Jake's Prince of Persia trailer was released last week and we're pretty impressed with his famous physique.

Reese Steps Confidently Back Onto the Plate

PopSugar — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 13:30:05 -0800

Reese Witherspoon was in Philadelphia recently to film How Do You Know?, and she brought her softball skills back to LA to keep working on the film. She was decked out in a USA team jersey yesterday, as she went to bat and rounded the bases. It was her second afternoon of fitness in a row, after Tuesday's jog with a friend. Reese always looks like she's in great shape, and she's surely able to keep up with her buff action-hero boyfriend Jake.

Reese Is on the Run and Dating a Video Game Star

PopSugar — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 09:00:05 -0800

Reese Witherspoon soaked up the sun while out for a run yesterday in LA. She's back in California after time in Philadelphia working on How Do You Know? and NYC launching her new fragrance. Even though Reese was all smiles during her jog with a friend, things got ugly when the actress had to intervene in an argument between two photographers. Later in the afternoon, she was back to her sunny self when she did some shopping in a pretty blue dress. Jake Gyllenhaal didn't accompany her on any of her activities, but if she wants a peek at her man's sexy abs all she has to do is check out the new preview for Prince of Persia.
