What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday

BuzzSugar — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 06:30:57 -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. In addition to my selections below, you can also check out the dreamboat special that is Leatherheads and Simon Pegg's comedy Run, Fat Boy, Run.

Sex and the City: The Movie
Well, the big day has arrived: the Sex and the City movie is here for you to rent or own. Whether you missed this one in theaters (hard to imagine) or are excited to fast-forward to your favorite parts, the fab four has come full circle back to your small screen. I'm interested in revisiting this one, since the movie is super long and there is a lot to take in.

This is the kind of movie for which special features were made. Get a load of these: commentary by director Michael Patrick King; a conversation with Sarah Jessica Parker and Michael Patrick King; featurettes titled, "The Fabulous Fashion of Sex and the City," "Fergie in the Studio: Watch a Hit in the Making as the Singer Records Labels or Love for the Movie Soundtrack," and additional scenes.

So, are you bringing this one home this week?

Three more selections to go, so

Warner Bros. Hoping to Fast-Track the SATC Sequel

BuzzSugar — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 10:35:02 -0700

There was plenty of sequel chatter immediately following the major box office success of the Sex and the City movie, but now certain head honchos are confirming that there is "a lot of energy behind doing another SATC movie." According to EW, "a sequel to the Sex and the City movie is in the early stages of development."

HBO's president of programming group, Michael Lombardo, mentioned that they're "really heartened by the fans' enthusiasm," and a source confirmed that Warner Bros. hopes to fast-track the project, though there is still no deal and no script. In fact, EW notes that "the lead actresses involved are taking a cautious attitude towards another film, not wanting to rush a sequel and risk disappointing their loyal fans."

Tons of you have voted that you'd love to see a SATC sequel, though I have to wonder, what could this sequel be about? What would you like to see in a sequel? Babies? New non-white assistants? Even bigger shoe closets? Sound off below.

Buzz In: Which TV Shows Would Make Good Movies?

BuzzSugar — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 07:30:23 -0700

There's been lots of scuttlebutt lately that Friends could finally go the way of Sex and the City and make its way to the big screen. Ever since the rumor resurfaced, reps for both the studio and the actors have been busily denying it, but it's still an interesting thing to think about: Can you really imagine seeing the Central Perk crew back together again? I don't think I can picture it — but then, I don't know if I could have imagined a big-screen SATC, either, and it's made more than $350 million in theaters worldwide.

Rumors also come up from time to time about a big-screen reunion of The Sopranos or The Wire, though none of them seems to have much credibility behind it. On the other hand, though, the Arrested Development movie really seems like a good possibility now, with various cast members confirming all over the place that a deal is in the works.

Are there other series that you think could successfully leap to the big screen? And, on the other hand, are there some that you think would just never work as films?

Box Office: Hulk Has Incredible Opening Weekend

BuzzSugar — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 07:00:53 -0700

It looks like fans can't get enough of Marvel superheroes on the big screen as the company scored another hit this summer with The Incredible Hulk. Despite average reviews and the fact that Ed Norton's conflict with the studio over the final cut of the film became widely known, The Incredible Hulk pulled in an estimated $54.5 million over the weekend.

Kung Fu Panda held strong in second place while M. Night Shyamalan's The Happening exceeded many expectations by landing in the third spot with about $30.5 million.

You Don't Mess with the Zohan was No. 4 followed by Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull at No. 5 and Sex and the City at No. 6.

Box Office: Kung Fu Panda Chops the Competition

BuzzSugar — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 09:30:06 -0700

Po the panda and friends kicked some box office butt this weekend, winning the No. 1 spot handily with an estimated $60 million over the weekend. Kung Fu Panda is the second-best opening DreamWorks Animation has ever had behind Shrek the Third. In second place came the Adam Sandler and Judd Apatow comedy You Don't Mess with the Zohan, earning a healthy $40 million.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was bumped to the third spot and has grossed an estimated $253 million. The good news for the Sex and the City movie is that it has almost passed the $100 million mark domestically. The bad news is it experienced a steep decline that put it at No. 4. The super scary flick The Strangers dropped to No. 5.

According to Variety, box office watchers had expected way closer results between Kung Fu Panda and Zohan so a big congrats is in order to Jack Black and crew!

Buzz In: Which Movies Have You Seen Multiple Times in the Theater?

BuzzSugar — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 08:30:31 -0700

And no, multiple viewings of The Rocky Horror Picture Show doesn't really count. I'm talking about the movies that so captivated your imagination you just had to go back for more. Or the movies that were such a fun event, you piggiebacked along with different friends and family members to keep the party going all weekend.

Just this past weekend, I know there were plenty of girls' nights out. . . and then girls' afternoons out and girls' Sunday evenings out for the Sex and the City movie. When the first Spider-Man came out, I couldn't get enough and may have seen it four times in the theater. I've also heard some mom friends talk about how many times they escorted their kids to Enchanted over the holidays. And um, I might have known someone, who — ahem! — may have seen The Cutting Edge several times in the theater when it came out in 1992.

What movies have you seen more than once in the theaters?

Would You Want a Sex and the City Sequel?

BuzzSugar — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 08:15:07 -0700

The stars of the Sex and the City movie were hinting at a sequel before the weekend but now that the film was such a smash success at the box office, the talk for another movie has reached a fever pitch. Makes you wonder if Sarah Jessica Parker and Michael Patrick King are huddled together as we speak to brainstorm sequel ideas.Are you on board for a sequel? Or was one movie enough? The ladies are officially middle-aged now, so what new themes would you hope they might tackle? Photo courtesy of New Line Cinema

Box Office: SATC Sticks a Stiletto in the Competition

BuzzSugar — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 05:45:14 -0700

As the saying goes: If you build it, they will come. Which was indeed the case this weekend for Sarah Jessica Parker and Michael Patrick King's two and a half hour fête gifted to devoted fans who showed up in droves to support Sex and the City's move to the big screen.

The movie smashed every record for an R-rated comedy and proved that women can drive box office sales just like men. SATC earned an estimated $55.7 million prompting Warner president of domestic distribution Dan Fellman to quote in Variety:

This has become a cultural phenomenon. What this shows is that given the right project, you can create a frenzy for the female aud, just like we are used to with boys and men.

The film was "the strongest ever for a movie carried by a female lead," beating the record-holder Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. Sarah Jessica Parker told the New York Times, "I am so excited about the possibilities for movies about women.”

Dropping to the No. 2 spot, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull still had a strong second weekend earning an additional $46 million. Even the third spot was a shock to many with the seriously spooky The Strangers taking in an estimated $20.7 million. That's really good if you compare it to the approximate $9 million the movie cost to produce. Iron Man dropped to the fourth spot followed by The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian at No. 5.

Sex and the City: Sugary Sweet With a Sad Center

BuzzSugar — Fri, 30 May 2008 05:45:56 -0700

Despite the fact that I've never owned shoes in the $500+ range and have never been a single and fabulous 30-something (or 40-something) New Yorker, I related to and loved the characters on Sex and the City. Every week I could count on seeing four women who placed a high value on their female friendships rather than tearing each other down (ahem, The Hills), who fought bravely against those who would look down on them for being unmarried, and who talked candidly about not just sex, but everything. Amidst hardship, lapses in judgment, and insecurities, they were smart ladies who had the understanding that life — even for the truly sophisticated — is no fairytale.

Some of these cherished characteristics translated well to the big screen version and I'm so thankful for that. But I'm also a bit mystified by how far it strays at times from the very aspects I loved so much. I wish I could say that it's a witty and modern take on the meaning of love and friendship for middle-aged women (and women approaching middle-age). Instead, the film is at times a fun fantasy, but it's not the Sex and the City I remember.

To see what I totally enjoyed about seeing these women back together and what struck a false note,

What Are Your Hopes and Fears for the Sex and the City Movie?

BuzzSugar — Thu, 29 May 2008 07:00:49 -0700

You know I'm excited about the Sex and the City movie and I had a blast at our exclusive screening last night! But over the past few weeks I've been chatting with friends and coworkers about certain apprehensions we had about how the movie might turn out. The biggest qualm I heard was that people really liked the way Sex and the City wrapped up when it was on TV, and there was some fear that the movie's ending wouldn't be as satisfying.

I bet some of you are feeling similarly, so I thought I'd ask you what your best-case and worst-case scenarios are for the movie. What would you like to see happen? What do you fervently hope doesn't? And are any of you so nervous about the big-screen adaptation that you plan to stay away from it entirely? Sound off below.

Album Review: The Sex and the City Movie Soundtrack

BuzzSugar — Fri, 23 May 2008 16:30:00 -0700

I was lucky enough to take an advance spin of the new soundtrack for the Sex and the City movie and I immediately thought of good times with girlfriends. In aggregate, it's not entirely a get-up-and-shake-your-booty kind of mix, but just a cool bunch of songs about love and friendship. I think it would be quite perfect for the background music at a hip wedding shower actually.

The soundtrack is packed with a bunch of recognizable names, like Jennifer Hudson, whose tune "All Dressed in Love" is a cute, uptempo disco anthem that reminds me of the exuberance found in "It's Raining Men." Morningwood's (ha! That name!) "New York Girls" is not my favorite, and if I were in charge of finding a good retro-rock vibe for the album (or the movie) I would have gone with Franz Ferdinand or even the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. That and the smooth techno beats in "I Like the Way" by Kaskade are the kinds of tracks mixed between better songs that give the whole thing the "background music" vibe I'm talking about.

Tonight on Bravo: Inside the Actors Studio With Sarah Jessica Parker

BuzzSugar — Mon, 19 May 2008 15:30:00 -0700

The hour is almost upon us, folks, and while some people are a little tired of the promotional blitz surrounding the Sex and the City movie, I am still curious — and excited — to see the ladies reunited on screen. Another thing I don't tire of is hearing an actress I love describe her work and career. It's fascinating to hear in-depth discussions about a successful working actor's filmography.

That's why I'm looking forward to Sarah Jessica Parker's appearance on Bravo's Inside the Actors Studio tonight. She'll hopefully give up more juicy details on the SATC movie, though I'm excited to hear about the rest of her career and life before Carrie Bradshaw. I hope James Lipton covers her work on Square Pegs and projects from early in her career like Footloose and L.A. Story.

Will you forever see Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie Bradshaw? Think you'll tune in tonight? Also: any tips on how I can make my hair look as lovely as hers does in this photo?

Rewind: This Week's Buzz

BuzzSugar — Sat, 03 May 2008 08:00:36 -0700

I can't tell you how much fun I had at the Tribeca Film Festival this year. In addition to making new friends, I saw some terrific (if quirky) movies, like The Wackness, Trucker, and Bart Got a Room. I also gave a word of warning for the bleak and disturbing Savage Grace which still makes me feel kinda icky.
I saw The Life Before Our Eyes, a movie adapted from my April book club selection and I found the movie to be visually gorgeous but also puzzling. Ah well, the book was still a lovely read. Which reminds me — check out my May selection for the book club.
The title Made of Honor confused me and much of the blogosphere this week. Baffling non-puns aside, the movie was, well, boring. All is not lost, though, because it gave me an excellent picture for the Caption It contest.
Woo-hoo! May is going to be a fun month! I've rounded up some of my must-haves for the month, including the Sex and the City movie. Speaking of which, I put together a slideshow all about the essential episodes to catch before the big movie release on May 30.
American Idol was shaping up to be a bit of a snoozer with the Neil "Sparkly Tops" Diamond songbook. But then, just when I was about to doze off, PaulaGate came crashing through. What did you think about her little on-air hiccup?
So now that shows like Gossip Girl and Grey's Anatomy are back in full swing are you still watching as much TV? Or are there some shows you've quit?
There were some cool and even moving music videos out this week, like this one from R.E.M. and an important message from Radiohead. Coldplay even gave us a glimpse of a song from their upcoming album.
Finally, if you're looking for entertainment this weekend I highly recommend seeing Iron Man in the theaters and settling in Sunday night for the season premiere of This American Life on Showtime.

Sex and the City: The Essential Episodes

BuzzSugar — Thu, 01 May 2008 07:30:26 -0700

Seems like it was just yesterday folks were confirming that the Sex and the City movie had been greenlit, and now there are mere weeks until it hits theaters. Recently, I've overheard people reluctantly admit that they haven't really watched the show, and it inspired me to put together a list of quintessential episodes for anyone looking to catch up on the ladies' saucy relationships and touching friendships before the movie hits theaters May 30. These episodes are meant to be in addition to the series premiere (remember when Carrie would break away and talk straight to camera, not unlike Zack Morris on Saved By the Bell?) and the finale. To check out which episodes I chose and to tell me what you'd add, hit "Start." Source

Did you catch the TV spot for the Sex and the City movie that aired during Gossip Girl last night? Well, now you can check it out after the jump. There's more of the brassy theme music, some squealing amongst the ladies and euphemistic talk of "crayons" and "coloring," among other cute stuff.

As I was perusing the movie's website last night I came across the little online quiz in which you can find out who your manly SATC match would be. And yup, I got Harry. He's not the sexiest of the bunch but he sure is loyal and good. Who's yours? Click here, then go to "About the Movie" and the "Match Your Man" option will appear.

How Much Would You Pay to Attend the SATC Movie Red Carpet Premiere?

BuzzSugar — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 12:28:50 -0700

In recent months, celebrities have been raising awareness for the relief and development organization Oxfam by collaborating on eBay auctions for things like Shakira's clothes and radios signed by Tom Hanks, as well as tickets to the red carpet premieres of movies like Mamma Mia! and He's Just Not That Into You. Just a few days ago, a woman from Japan had the highest bid for a trip to the Manhattan premiere of the Sex and the City movie. The bidding started at $0.99 and the winning bid was for $52,100, all of which will go to Oxfam.

As the winner, she receives a pair of tickets to the premiere, arriving via chauffeured car service after having her hair and makeup done at Manhattan’s Prive Salon. At the premiere, she'll have an on-camera "meet and greet" with Kristin Davis. And she also gets a pair of Jimmy Choos in her size.

I'd say this is a pretty sweet package. Of course, most of us don't have $52,000 to spend on an online auction for movie premiere passes, but I could definitely envision mega-fans of Sex and the City paying some hefty sums for this kind of thing. What would be your cutoff for a package like this? To walk the red carpet, if not with then at least near the glamorous ladies of Sex and the City and to attend the premiere of the film with them?

SJP Honored at ShoWest, Addresses Rumors of a Death in SATC Movie

BuzzSugar — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 10:30:34 -0700

In her smart, gracious way, Sarah Jessica Parker fielded questions about the Sex and the City movie when she accepted the first ever Vanguard Award at ShoWest in Las Vegas. Though it's news to me, there's apparently a rumor going around that one of the characters will die in the movie. Trying to address the question without revealing too much, Parker explained that they wanted to make a "grown up" movie with some "seriousness." ComingSoon has more from ShoWest:

What we tried to do is it's a grown-up movie and I think those people that have seen it have been very surprised. There's a seriousness about something that happens in this movie and it's really about real life and your own complicity and disappointments and the necessity of friends at certain points, but really, as a grown-up to really take care of yourself. There's still plenty of ribald, salty, dirty stuff, but I think it's a really smart story. I think Michael Patrick (King, writer and director of the film) wrote a beautiful screenplay and selfishly, I feel like he wrote the role of a lifetime for me, and it was just an amazing experience.

So, the death is neither confirmed nor denied. This news has revved up my imagination, distracting me with thoughts about who — if anyone — might die in the movie. Does the part of the trailer when she drops her phone take on new significance? Interesting. Seriously, May 30 can't get here quickly enough.

For more of Parker's thoughts on the movie,

It's here! The highly anticipated, full-length trailer for this Spring's Sex and the City movie has arrived.

There's Mr. Big and wedding talk, bawdy jokes as usual and an introduction to Carrie's personal assistant, played by Jennifer Hudson.

It's super cute as expected, though slightly sentimental-cheesy (the "Forgiveness" song?). Still, I'm just as excited as ever to see this movie when it opens May 30. You should definitely watch the trailer yourself, so

The Boys Are Back in Town for "Sex and the City" Movie

BuzzSugar — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 14:15:57 -0700

We already knew that Mr. Big was back for the "Sex and the City" movie, and I was pretty sure it was only a matter of time before the other main men were confirmed as well. Now it's official, according to MTV: Smith Jerrod (Jason Lewis), Steve (David Eigenberg) and Harry (Evan Handler) will all be in the "Sex and the City" movie, joining the four main ladies, Mr. Big and um, Jennifer Hudson. Welcome back, gentlemen.

I have to say, a part of me would love to see Aidan on the big screen somehow, too. Le sigh.

What do you think about this news? Would you like to see some ~~fresh meat~~ new guys join the cast to spice things up? Or is it best that they stick with the old familiar?

Mark Your Calendars: "Sex and the City" in Theaters May 30!

BuzzSugar — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 10:29:51 -0700

As soon as you get ahold of your 2008 calendars, draw a big, fat heart around May 30. According to MTV, this is the date when Carrie, Miranda, Samantha, Charlotte, Big and the rest of the gang (including, randomly, Jennifer Hudson) will be coming to a theater near you!

It's a great sign for the movie that the producers want to release it on the first big weekend of the summer. So far, the ladies will be competing at the box office with an Eddie Murphy comedy Starship Dave and the Kristen Bell comedy (produced by Judd Apatow) Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

Now, it seems we have everything in place for the "Sex and the City" movie... except for that pesky little plot, about which filmmakers and actors are remaining mum. Stay tuned, and clear your schedule for May 30!

Jennifer Hudson Joins "Sex and the City" Movie

BuzzSugar — Tue, 11 Sep 2007 05:30:00 -0700

Having won her Oscar, Jennifer Hudson is thankfully not content to rest on her laurels and/or fade into eventual obscurity. Variety is reporting that the Dreamgirls diva has joined the cast of the feature-length film based on "Sex and the City." Here's more:

Hudson, who's in final negotiations, will portray the assistant to Sarah Jessica Parker's Carrie Bradshaw. Pic revolves around the lives of the four main "Sex and the City" characters, four years after the time frame of the finale of the HBO series, which wrapped its six-year run in 2004.

How great would it be if Hudson's character has some relationship advice for Carrie that she feels is best expressed through song?

Have No Fear, Mr. Big Is Here

BuzzSugar — Fri, 10 Aug 2007 09:03:21 -0700

Well, this is some strange timing, but no need to worry about seeing the movie without him — Chris Noth is definitely signed on to play Mr. Big in the "Sex and the City" movie. Variety confirms today that Noth will be joining the four main characters played by Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon in the big screen adaptation of one of HBO's most sensational series. Variety goes on to note, however, "New Line hasn't released details about the exact storyline for the feature."

I'm relieved by this news. I was sure Noth wouldn't disappoint all the many "SATC" fans by not starring in the movie, but it made me nervous the longer he wasn't confirmed. Now I'd just like to know about that plot line...

Would You Still See a "Sex and the City" Movie Without Mr. Big?

Yes! I will see it no matter what!

No way — it's not the same without Big

"Sex and the City" Movie Gets the Green Light

After plenty of hedging and hinting, we now have an official report that the makers of HBO's hit series "Sex and the City" will make a feature-length movie based on the show. Production is scheduled to begin in the fall. The article continues:

Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon are all set to reprise their roles, with longtime exec producer Michael Patrick King directing a script he wrote.

The film got close to happening about two years ago, but progress halted when Cattrall backed away. She wanted script controls and a salary close to that of Parker, who was more highly paid than the others because she was co-executive producer of the series. Whatever tensions existed are gone now, sources said. Cattrall has a deal she’s happy with, one the sources said gives her input on her scenes, a fat salary and a future series deal with HBO.

No news yet on whether other actors from the show (ahem, Chris Noth) will be back for the movie, but I'll keep you posted. Here's hoping the movie version comes out well and doesn't taint the fond memories I have of the original series!
