Buzz Gift Guide: Last-Minute Butt-Savers!

BuzzSugar — Mon, 24 Dec 2007 10:30:02 -0800

Yikes! It's Christmas Eve! If there's someone on your list that you just plumb forgot, these suggestions for last-minute, easily obtained gifts in this last of my holiday gift guides just might save your butt.

Fandango Bucks are super easy to get ahold of — you just purchase them online and you can either print them out immediately to slip into a stocking, or send them via email. A lot of folks like to go to the movies during this last week of December, and Fandango Bucks make moviegoing extremely easy.

Netflix has a similar way to give a last-minute gift. You can buy a gift subscription online and then print out (or email) the confirmation to wrap up in a box (or a few boxes to make it look like a huge gift!) and give to your loved ones (who you forgot).

For the music lovers in your life, consider giving a gift certificate to iTunes. These can also be emailed or printed out, though you can also "gift" specific albums (or movies, or TV shows) to other iTunes members.

Magazine subscriptions (like one to Entertainment Weekly) are a nice way to quickly give a gift that keeps on giving. Plus, choosing a specific magazine you know your friend will enjoy proves that you put at least some thought into it. If you manage to get out to a newsstand today, grab one issue of the magazine and wrap it up with a note that says they'll receive the next one in 6-8 weeks.

For a more open-ended way to cover your hide, Amazon.com gift certificates pretty much guarantee that your forgotten friend or family member will be able to buy exactly the book/DVD/album he/she has been craving! These gift cards can be mailed, emailed or sent along with a festive e-card.

Buzz Gift Guide: Your Office

BuzzSugar — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 14:30:28 -0800

Today's holiday gift guide is for your bosses and coworkers at your office — which, I hope, is not too much like The Office.

Speaking of The Office, I suppose it's no surprise that much of my inspiration for this guide comes from Dunder Mifflin. For all those coworkers who deserve special recognition, why not pick up an armload of Dunde Awards? They come with interchangeable faceplates, so you can always give someone the Whitest Sneakers Award first but change it to the Bushiest Beaver Award behind her back.

For the regional managers on your list, consider some Michael Scott-endorsed desk decor, like this expanding sphere toy. (If you want to send some subtle hints about stress relief, check out these Dunder Mifflin stress balls.)

No matter how crazy your office, just remember: You could be working at the dysfunctional tech company of Douglas Coupland's Microserfs. The book is especially apt for any of your techie friends who might get a kick out of prose punctuated by emoticons and ridiculous acronyms.

And if you know someone in need of some cubicle "flair," consider these Office Space bobbleheads. There's one for Peter, his obnoxious boss Bill Lumbergh, and of course, the stapler-wielding Milton. These just may cure your friends' "case of the Mondays" for good.

Buzz Gift Guide: Stocking Stuffers

BuzzSugar — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 15:30:47 -0800

Today's holiday gift guide is all about the stocking stuffers, those little presents that can make a gift exchange even merrier.

I love all the bright colors of these Gumy headphones, which come in orange, green, blue, purple, and pink. And they're just $10, the perfect price for a spare pair of earbuds for work or the gym.

The music lovers on your list might hope to find a book of music writing from the 33 1/3 series in their stockings. Each pocket-sized volume offers one critic's take on a particular album, from Bob Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited to the Magnetic Fields' 69 Love Songs.

Know any Family Guy fans? Slipping one of these Stewie Talking Pens into their stocking will ensure a jolly holiday.

There are any number of little gifts you can give to the film fanatics in your life, from movie tickets to their local cinema to a great movie soundtrack. Other ideas include some microwavable movie popcorn and their very own 3-D glasses.

Buzz Gift Guide: The Clown

BuzzSugar — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 10:31:53 -0800

For today's holiday gift guide, here are some ideas for your friends and family members who love a good prank and for whom gag gifts are like real gifts.

For a lot of my comedy-loving friends, watching and quoting The Simpsons is like a religion. This adorable mouse with a floating Homer (with a beer balancing on his belly, natch) is sure to make your pals go "woo-hoo!"

Who can forget the sexy leg lamp that the Old Man mail orders in A Christmas Story? Give your buddies the gift of the kitschiest lamp in film history.

What would MacGyver do, indeed? Seriously, that show made many of us feel like we could get out of any, um, difficult situation, and now your friends can ironically declare this notion on their chests with the "What would MacGyver do?" t-shirt.

Buzz Gift Guide: Gifts for an Audiophile

BuzzSugar — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 15:33:11 -0800

Today's holiday gift guide is for your audiophile friend — the one who never hears the phone ring because she's got her headphones on and plans her social schedule around her favorite bands' tour dates.

Your audiophile friend might already own all seven pre-In Rainbows Radiohead albums — but just in case, check out this bizarrely cute USB stick that contains the band's complete recordings from 1993 to 2003, including bonus content. Too techie? There's a normal boxed set, too.

Does your friend have years and years of mixtapes languishing on a shelf now that cassette players have gone out of style? Pick up a Griffin iMic, which converts cassette and vinyl recordings to mp3. I've got one, and it's helped me get my favorite music from junior high and high school back in the regular rotation.

Rolling Stone and Spin not your friend's style? A subscription to Mojo might be a good alternative. The British music bible will cost you a bit if you need to ship it to the US, but helping your friend be a well-informed music fanatic might be worth it.

And OK, this one's not so much "audio" as just "phile," but the Meg and Jack White Lomo cameras are pretty craveworthy. Maybe your friend could use them to keep a record of her encounters with her favorite rock stars.

Buzz Gift Guide: For Nerds, With Love

BuzzSugar — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 15:33:56 -0800

For today's holiday gift guide, here are some suggestions for some of your friends who are perhaps a little goofier than others. In this case, "nerd" is an affectionate term, not just a four-letter word.

Few other movies can provide such feelings of triumph as 1994's Revenge of the Nerds. With this gift, you can now go above and beyond the normal DVD version with The Atomic Wedgie Collection.

Judd Apatow's TV series Freaks and Geeks was such a comforting show because all the weird teens of the world could feel understood — whether they were "freaks" or "geeks." Freaks and Geeks — The Complete Series collects all 18 episodes of this show that ended far too soon.

I must admit, I can be a huge nerd sometimes, and I love me a good pun. Thus, I get a huge kick out of these punny aprons at WearableVegetables, like this one that reads "Lord of the Onion Rings." There are some other doozies there that just might crack up your nerdiest of buddies, like "Desperate Housechives," "Silence of the Yams," and "Who's Afraid of Ginger Root?" These can also be applied to tote bags, t-shirts, oven mitts and more.

Buzz Gift Guide: The Sci-Fi Fanatic

BuzzSugar — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 14:36:40 -0800

Today's installment of the Holiday gift guide is for all the people on your list who dream of having superpowers, rush to stores each Wednesday when the new comics come in, and believe "the truth is out there."

Heroes fans can put their favorite hero on their letters to Santa with these stamps from artist Tim Sale. They come in Hiro, Claire, Nathan, Peter, and Helix editions — but true collectors might want the complete set.

Your favorite X-phile might enjoy the new X-Files Ultimate Collection, which brings together every episode from the show's nine seasons plus bonus features galore — just in time for the new movie.

The new 25th anniversary edition of Blade Runner, Blade Runner: Ultimate Collector's Edition, comes packed with everything a fan of the movie might want: multiple versions of the film (including a new one from director Ridley Scott), a feature-length documentary, and one full disc of bonus features.

Where can your sci-fi fanatic friends go to feel like everyone in the room understands them? Why, Comic-Con, of course! From July 24-27, they can pose with their favorite characters (or dress up themselves) and learn all about upcoming sci-fi projects. A 4-day membership costs $75, and you can currently register online.

Buzz Gift Guide: Smartypants!

BuzzSugar — Thu, 06 Dec 2007 16:36:39 -0800

Today's holiday gift guide is dedicated to your friends and family members who seem to know everything about pop culture . . . and everything else, for that matter!

I received these pop culture crossword puzzles for my birthday this year, and I absolutely love them. For any pop culture junkie, these are the perfect mix of fun and challenging.

Those with an encyclopedic knowledge of television might enjoy going toe-to-toe with the editors of Television Without Pity on TV minutiae. 752 Things We Love to Hate (and Hate to Love) about TV is a snarky, cross-referenced guide to all things tube.

Your smartypants friend probably already caught all of the Planet Earth segments on TV, but if she has the whole series on DVD (plus the official companion book!) it's easier for her to commit all the facts to memory and then sprinkle them into common conversation. You know, like a smartypants does.

Buzz Gift Guide: '80s Babies

BuzzSugar — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 15:38:32 -0800

You have one in your family. You work next to one. Or perhaps you are one: A defiantly proud child of the '80s. A girl who just wants to have fun. A Casbah rocker. One who wangs chung. If you're familiar with these things, today's holiday gift guide is for you and your '80s babies friends.

If you and your friends spent so much time with the Tanner family that DJ, Stephanie, and Michelle were practically your sisters, check out the Full House Complete Series. The set comes with every episode from the show's eight-season run, but the real selling point is the package: a replica of the Tanners' San Francisco-style town house.

Nothing brings me back to those golden years quite like the music of the '80s. Of course, I knew the gal to ask for '80s music compilation gift ideas was WhiplashGirlchild, who suggested this extremely cool and comprehensive set, Like, Omigod! The '80s Pop Culture Box (Totally).

Some of the most iconic movies of my youth are John Hughes' teen films, like The Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller's Day Off. For awesome box set collections of these and other beloved flicks, check out the Too Cool for School set and the Brat Pack collection.

Buzz Gift Guide: The Bibliophile

BuzzSugar — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 16:37:04 -0800

Today's holiday gift guide is for all the bookworms in your life. The ideal recipient for these gifts loves good writing — and has a great sense of humor.

Always raiding your friends' impressively stocked bookshelves? Get them this Personal Library Kit, complete with date stamper and "for reference only" stickers, and maybe they'll exempt you from any overdue fines.

Author Anna Quindlen's ode to books, How Reading Changed My Life, clocks in at just 96 pages — but it's packed full of tributes to favorite characters and quirky reading lists.

Many of my bibliophile friends are passionate Jane Austen fans, and swooned over the 2005 movie version of Pride and Prejudice just as much as I did. Rather than giving your buddies double copies of all the Austen novels they already own, why not add to their movie collections with one of Austen's most endearing works?

Speaking of Austen, what fan wouldn't want to have a Jane Austen action figure to perch on a nearby shelf? The toy comes complete with a writing desk and a removable quill pen, perfect for inspiring a novelist-to-be.

Buzz Gift Guide: The Reality TV Junkie

BuzzSugar — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 15:29:59 -0800

Today's holiday gift guide focuses on items for reality TV junkies — your friends and family members who can't get enough Big Brother, want to try out for The Amazing Race, and always buy tickets for the American Idol tour.

Any Project Runway fans in your life should get a kick out of the Tim Gunn talking bobblehead. The toy comes loaded with several of Gunn's most memorable phrases, including — of course — "Make it work."

The Dancing with the Stars video game for the Nintendo Wii lets players dance along with some of their favorite movies from the show. Dancing as Laila Ali, Mario Lopez, or one of eight other stars, players can waltz solo or recruit friends for duets. The game's also available for Playstation 2.

Those who love to hate Simon Cowell might get a kick out of I Hate to Be Rude, But . . . Subtitled The Simon Cowell Book of Nasty Comments, the compilation — edited by Cowell's brother, who's likely been on the end of plenty of Cowell's zingers — collects some of his nastiest lines from Idol and beyond.

Know anyone who's constantly wishing to traverse the globe Amazing Race-style? Check out this pocket gadget that serves as a whistle, magnifying glass, compass, and more.

Buzz Gift Guide: Gifts For the Whole Family

BuzzSugar — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 10:29:33 -0800

For the past couple of weeks, my holiday gift guide has been focusing on presents for the various members of your family. But today, I'm focusing on a few items that the whole family can enjoy together.

The United Artists 90th Anniversary Prestige Collection is a hefty investment, but if you're shopping for a family full of movie lovers, it might be worth getting a bunch of people to pitch in for it. The collection includes 90 films, from Some Like It Hot to Annie Hall to Hotel Rwanda.

The TV-loving family on your list might benefit from one of TiVo's gift packages, which fit a variety of price ranges and come with fun extras like fleece blankets, wireless adapters, and gift cards for service packages.

Looking for something that combines entertainment and family togetherness? Try picking up a Scene It game. The DVD trivia game has tons of editions for various tastes, including versions for Harry Potter fans and music buffs.

Buzz Gift Guide: Boy Cuz

BuzzSugar — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 08:30:00 -0800

If you're shopping for the boy cousins this season, check out these suggestions in today's holiday gift guide.

Without even knowing your boy cousin's age or interests, the Transformers DVD is a fairly safe bet. With all the special features, it actually is more than meets the eye.

As with the brotherly gift guide, your boy cousins might like to read the Jon Krakauer book Into the Wild, on which the Sean Penn film is based. Also, check out the soundtrack to this movie, featuring some really good music by Eddie Vedder.

And if your cousin is a Lost fan, take a look at the Dharma bar ware, available on ABC's website. It's a little something to remind him of the island until Lost returns (or maybe doesn't) in Feburary.

Buzz Gift Guide: Hey, Cuz!

BuzzSugar — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 10:31:37 -0800

Today's holiday gift guide rounds up some gifts for your flock of female cousins — whether you're sister-close or see each other only at the biggest family gatherings.

If your cousin hasn't yet discovered the mystery-solving fun that is (er, "was"... tear!) Veronica Mars, the first season DVDs will be a great introduction to this totally entertaining series.

For the cousin who loves both music and Grey's Anatomy, check out this boxed collection of the show's soundtracks. The three soundtracks collect almost 50 songs from many of the artists the show helped to make big, including the Fray and Snow Patrol.

Speaking of music, the Dreamgirls DVD is worth checking out if your cousin was enamored with last year's showstopping girl-group movie, loaded with fantastic songs and even more amazing costumes.

Or perhaps she's more of a Hairspray kind of gal? The soundtrack to this summer's energetic musical movie will have your cousin bopping around her room or belting out these catchy tunes in the car.

Buzz Gift Guide: Brotherly Love

BuzzSugar — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 05:30:00 -0800

Today's holiday gift guide features gift ideas for the boys in your family with whom you had to share a bathroom growing up.

The complete series of Arrested Development on DVD will most likely delight your brother while also providing you guys with something to laugh at together if you find that the holiday togetherness is getting to be a bit much.

I really like the Bourne movies, but the guys I know seem to like them even more. Come December 11, you can give your brother the gift of three movies' worth of Jason Bourne eluding the authorities.

If your brother loves both music and video games, consider getting him Rock Band Special Edition for his PlayStation or XBox360. The game comes with a guitar, microphone, and drums so he and his friends can play along with Metallica, Bon Jovi, and more. This would be especially good for a guy who's living in a college dorm or has enough roommates to form an impromptu band in the living room.

Before it was a movie directed by Sean Penn, Into the Wild was a bestselling book by Jon Krakauer about the free-spirited Christopher McCandless and his dangerous journey into the Alaskan wilderness. Your brother may also be interested in another of Krakauer's well-received books, Into Thin Air.

If your brother is too young to have watched The Goonies in its glory days, it's your responsibility to educate the young lad on all things Truffle Shuffle.

Buzz Gift Guide: Sister, Sister

BuzzSugar — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 07:30:00 -0800

Wondering what to get your sister for the holidays? Check out today's holiday gift guide, with gift ideas that honor the sisterly bond.

Did you and your sister totally adore Lloyd Dobler growing up? With this t-shirt, available from Chocosho, your sis can declare her Dobler love to everyone.

Speaking of crushworthy guys, you might want to give your sister some eye candy for the holidays with a copy of the 300 DVD. Gerard Butler... Need I say more?

Keeping with the love theme, if you and your sister ever swooned over notes from a boy (or stressed out together over what to put in notes of your own), check out Other People's Love Letters, a collection of heated text messages and heartfelt professions of desire that the public was never really meant to see.

If your sis doesn't yet have singer/songwriter Feist's album The Reminder, giving her this fantastic CD will officially upgrade you to Best. Sister. Ever.

Jodi Picoult's touching novel My Sister's Keeper is a rich and beautifully told story of the powerful bond between two young sisters. You may want to wrap up a package of tissues along with this gift.

Rewind: This Week's Buzz

BuzzSugar — Sun, 25 Nov 2007 08:00:45 -0800

This week I prepared for the Thanksgiving celebration in a Buzz-y manner:

Check out my Thanksgiving Buzz Brainteasers, with questions about Thanksgiving episodes of Friends, Felicity, and Gilmore Girls.
A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving is one of my favorite Thanksgiving treats, and it got me thinking about all the Charlie Brown TV specials. Which Charlie Brown special is your favorite?
My Thanksgiving movie suggestion is Home for the Holidays, which was directed by Jodie Foster and stars Holly Hunter and Robert Downey Jr.
Speaking of Thanksgiving movies, check out my Thanksgiving movie quiz!
Tell me: What did you watch this Thanksgiving?
Finally, here's my list of entertainment-related things that I am most thankful for, from Judd Apatow and Tina Fey to my DVR machine and the ability to watch movies on airplanes.

And I started looking toward the holiday season with some Buzz-approved holiday gift guides:

Check out my ideas for what kinds of books, movies, games, and other things to give a teen boy or teen girl.
I also had some suggestions for entertainment-related gifts that seem momish and some for a cool daddy-o.
And I certainly didn't forget about Grandpa, Grandma, and your favorite aunts and uncles — they need fun holiday gifts, too!

Buzz Gift Guide: Favorite Aunts and Uncles

BuzzSugar — Fri, 23 Nov 2007 13:30:28 -0800

For today's holiday gift guide, I'm looking at goodies for aunts and uncles.

If your aunt or uncle is into golf, or just enjoys a heartwarming rags-to-riches story, The Greatest Game Ever Played is a sweet movie gift. Plus, it stars a young, adorable Shia LaBeouf as the little plebian who rises beyond class boundaries to play the gentlemen's sport, so there's something in it for everyone!

One of the most acclaimed films of 2006, The Queen is a fascinating peek into Queen Elizabeth II's experiences in the aftermath of Princess Diana's tragic death. Your aunt or uncle might like to receive this superb film which also earned Helen Mirren the Best Actress Oscar this year.

For the serious(ly) Grey's Anatomy fan in your life, check out ABC's Grey's Anatomy gift set, which comes stocked with a Seattle Grace thermos and hoodie, a red "Seriously" T-shirt and mug, and a Grey's trivia game.

Just as Tom Brokaw's The Greatest Generation appeals to many a grandparent, his new book Boom! may be of particular interest to the adults in your family who lived through the 1960s, one of the most special and intense periods of American history.

Buzz Gift Guide: Grandpa Knows Best

BuzzSugar — Thu, 22 Nov 2007 15:00:00 -0800

Don't forget Grandpa when holiday shopping this season! Today's holiday gift guide suggestions will hopefully appeal to these beloved older gentlemen in your life.

The miniseries Band of Brothers is interesting enough for everyone in the family, and Grandpa might find it particularly relevant. Based on the bestselling book by Stephen E. Ambrose, the miniseries tells the remarkable story of Easy Company, 506th Regiment of the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division.

For some lighter fare, check out the definitive DVD collection of The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson episodes, called Heeere's Johnny.

In case your grandfather doesn't yet own Tom Brokaw's book outlining the greatness that was The Greatest Generation, he might enjoy having this on his bookshelf.

Clint Eastwood's Oscar-nominated war films Flags of Our Fathers and Letters From Iwo Jima are beautifully and respectfully done. Watching these films together will be a meaningful experience for you and your grandfather. Check out the five-disc box set with both movies and all sorts of extras.

Buzz Gift Guide: For the Hip Grandma

BuzzSugar — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 16:00:11 -0800

Dear old Grandma deserves the best this season, so check out today's holiday gift guide specially created with grandmothers in mind.

Here's a gift that could be a treat for both of you: I Love Lucy: The Complete Series. Make some tea and cuddle up with Grandma to watch Lucy and her hilarious adventures.

Or perhaps your grandmother is more of the mystery-solving type? Check out the seventh season of Murder, She Wrote, just released last month.

Listening to Nat King Cole's album The Christmas Song takes me right back to holidays spent at my grandparents' house. Cole's soothing voice provides the perfect soundtrack for a cozy holiday season.

The 1954 musical movie White Christmas features the fantastic foursome of Bing Crosby, Rosemary Clooney, Danny Kaye, and Vera-Ellen, some great costumes and even greater songs, all by Irving Berlin. It's a sweet holiday film to watch with Grandma.

Buzz Gift Guide: Go, Daddy-O

BuzzSugar — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 15:28:33 -0800

Looking for ways to beef up your dad's entertainment arsenal? Check out today's holiday gift guide, as full of daddy love as this week's episode of Heroes was.

What man hasn't dreamed of being James Bond? Indulge your dad's slick, shoot-em-up fantasies with the Ultimate James Bond Collector's Set, which includes all 21 films to date plus a full disc of special features for each, including deleted scenes and interviews.

Well, I don't know about your dad, but mine is a huge Ken Burns fan, and no Ken Burns documentary collection is complete without The War, Burns' exploration of the effects of the Second World War on not just the soldiers fighting abroad, but average American families here at home.

My dad is also a big fan of author Khaled Hosseini's bestselling novel The Kite Runner, and he recently enjoyed Hosseini's newer release A Thousand Splendid Suns. And, if your dad enjoys the book version of The Kite Runner, then you can take him to see the upcoming film adaptation.

Another dadly gift is the DVD set Neil Young: Under Review 1976-2006, a documentary chronicling the second half of Neil Young's musical career. There is also another documentary that reviews Young's earlier years as a musician, from 1966 to 1975.

Buzz Gift Guide: Mommy Dearest

BuzzSugar — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 14:24:30 -0800

For perhaps the most important lady in your life, check out today's holiday gift guide for some sweet ideas that might be right up her alley this holiday season.

If you're looking for something to watch during future girls' nights with you mom, check out the Gilmore Girls complete series collection, which includes all 153 episodes of the show on a whopping 42 discs. Granted, the packaging is a little cheesy, but that's a small sacrifice for the chance to watch this memorable mom and daughter grow up together.

This summer's sweet romantic comedy Waitress stars Keri Russell as a woman who is none too pleased to find out about her pregnancy. By the end, however, she learns that motherhood might actually be just what she was waiting for.

If your mom is the reading type, check out these books that are not only completely worthwhile on their own but will also be adapted for film in the not-so-distant future. So when Revolutionary Road and The Memory Keeper's Daughter hit theaters, your mom will be totally in the know, thanks to you!

Does your mom have a tendency to wax nostalgic about classic film stars like Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant? Check out the Classic Comedies Collection which includes Bringing Up Baby, The Philadelphia Story and Stage Door, among others.

Buzz Gift Guide: Rockin' Teen Guy

BuzzSugar — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 05:30:37 -0800

Today's holiday gift guide has some ideas for the too-cool-for-school teen guys on your list.

For the guy who owns countless Spider-Man comics, has his figurines poised for action around his bedroom and breathlessly awaited this summer's third installment of the series, check out this DVD triology which includes Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man 3.

Though The Golden Compass comes out right around holiday season, hopefully the young lads in your life will still want to read the Philip Pullman book on which the movie is based. Also, if seeing the film version of The Golden Compass whets his appetite, there are two other books in the His Dark Materials trilogy for him to check out.

The new Guitar Hero III, available for a variety of video game systems, would be perfect for any wannabe rocker on your list. The game rates you as you play along with more than 70 rock anthems, from "Rock and Roll All Nite" to "Barracuda."

And any fan of the Dillon Panthers of Friday Night Lights would look great sporting a Panther Football shirt from NBC, as worn by star player Tim Riggins. (His jersey is also available.)

Buzz Gift Guide: Awesome Teen Girl

BuzzSugar — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 07:30:26 -0800

I'm kicking off my holiday gift guide with some suggestions for all the clued-in teenage girls in your life.

If the awesome teen you're shopping for is a fan of the sudsy TV series Gossip Girl but hasn't gotten into the book series, you might want to pick up this boxed set of the first three books. (If they're already rabid fans, consider the recently released prequel).

I am well out of my teen years, but still completely entertained by 13 Going on 30. It's adorable and funny and has a pretty good message for the teens: be yourself, and the rest will follow. Also, I'm not ashamed to admit that I checked out the special features on this DVD and re-discovered the greatness that is the video for Pat Benatar's "Love Is a Battlefield." Seriously, you have to check it out because really, sometimes the best self-defense a girl has is a good hard shoulder shimmy.

And even though it was on TV more than a decade ago, I don't think you can go wrong with the new My So-Called Life boxed set. After all, the joys and pains of high school are much the same in any era.

BuzzSugar's Gift Guide is Coming!

BuzzSugar — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 17:40:35 -0800

I'll be doing my best to make your holiday shopping easier when I start rolling out my holiday gift guides next week. I'm putting together lists of great entertainment-related goodies for everyone on your list, from the audiophile to the TV fan to the film buff — and I wouldn't be surprised if some of them ended up on your own wish lists.

But first, I need you to tell me: Whose gifts have got you stumped? Do you need suggestions for a music-obsessed nephew, a film-buff grandma, a TV-lover who seems to already own everything on DVD? Let me know, and I'll try to rustle up some fantastic items for even the trickiest people on your list. Stay tuned!
