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. In addition to the titles below, the Oscar-winning documentary
Taxi to the Dark Side is also now available on DVD.
I've seen
Forgetting Sarah Marshall a handful of times now, and after each viewing I love it a little bit more — so you can be sure that I'm going to recommend this DVD (out today) highly!
I think your enjoyment of this movie will partly depend on whether you're in the camp that love Russell Brand (or are fairly indifferent), or the camp that hate him with a vengeance. I'm in the former, so his part in this film is a highlight for me — he plays English rock star Aldous Snow, the man that Peter Bretter (Jason Segel) has lost his TV star girlfriend to.
You know, I was already really excited about the news that
Jason Segel was working on a new Muppet movie. But could he also be plotting a new version of
The Muppet Show? According to a report from the UK,
the answer is yes.
Jason Segel first charmed me as dopey Nick on
Freaks and Geeks before moving on to other regular-guy roles in
Knocked Up and the sitcom
How I Met Your Mother. Now he's trying his hand as a leading (funny) man in
Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
Segel isn't a typical Hollywood hunk, but I think he's endearing.
For the first half of
Forgetting Sarah Marshall, I laughed out loud almost nonstop. Deliciously rife with Apatowian elements — bumbling self-deprecating characters, bawdy jokes, "call-'em-like-I-see-'em" bits of social commentary — it's a satisfying parade of sarcasm and sight gags. It even begins with a shamelessly, utterly nude Jason Segel, a move I fully admire.
The adorable Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell and Jason Segel (better known as Marshall from
HIMYM) stopped by TRL with a few other co-stars yesterday to promote
Forgetting Sarah Marshall. The funny cast laughed about real life breakups, on set nudity and more. It's hard to avoid the hilarious ads that have been running everywhere and considering the film is produced by the Apatow machine (expect plenty of cameos from his regular crew) we have a feeling this will be the film to beat at the box office this weekend.
Russell Brand is quite the jet-setter,
swapping LA for New York and an appearance on TRL with his
Forgetting Sarah Marshall co-stars last night. The American stars talked about nudity and penises, but not one to be outdone Russell brought the subject round to orgasms. The audience seemed to love Russell as much as we do, cracking up when he claimed he was looking for a wife with type O blood.

Ashton Kutcher took his third swing at
Saturday Night Live this weekend with a little extra help from his real life leading lady Demi and his
What Happens In Vegas costar Cameron Diaz. The two lovely ladies made cameos on the show and were just a couple of Ashton's guests at the after party. They were joined by a pretty random group including Diddy, Blake Lively ...

Forgetting Sarah Marshall seems to be everywhere these days, and last night it was in LA for a big Hollywood premiere. The entire endearing cast was out for the event
and to talk about seeing Jason Segel naked. Yup.
