Hall Pass, is a flick about a couple of married guys that feel like their wives hold them back from having fun, how many times have we heard that line! This time it’s different, and the wives take action. No more complaining from their hubbys, they’ve had enough, and decide to give them what they call a hall pass. Basically they allow their husbands to have an affair or do whatever they want for one week with no repercussions. Sounds like every mans dream come true, right? They soon realize that it’s not as easy as they thought it would be. Overall it’s a great comedic flick starring Owen Wilson and Jason Sudiekis and there on screen wives Christina Applegate and Jenna Fischer, all fantastic comedians so it’s sure to be a hit. Check out Christina Applegate in a casual look that she accessorizes with an adorable charm necklace.

In need of a good laugh? Well make it a DVD night with Little Fockers, starring Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller. I’m sure most of you have seen the previous two, Meet the Parents and Meet the Fockers, and although I didn’t find the new one to be as good as the others, it’s still full of laughs. As with all Focker movies, it’s full of awkward moments and outrageous antics. It has taken 10 years, two little Fockers with wife Pam and countless hurdles for Greg to finally get “in” with his tightly wound father-in-law, Jack, who wants to appoint a successor as Family-patriarch. Does his son-in-law, the “male nurse”, have what it takes? This is definitely one to add to your Netflix queue.
If you’re looking for a little adventure, maybe try Tron: Legacy, which is also out today. The remake of the 1982 flick stars Jeff Bridges, Garrett Hedlund and Olivia Wilde. The son of a virtual world designer goes looking for his father and ends up inside the digital world that his father designed. He meets his father’s creation turned bad and a unique ally who was born inside the digital domain of The Grid. Ok so, it’s a little sci-fi for my taste, but it’s definitely one your guy might dig!
What good movies have you seen lately?

Snowy days call for the perfect DVD night! Out today is Due Date staring Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis, I didn’t get a chance to see this one in theatres so I’m really excited to rent this one. Peter Highman (Downey Jr.) must get to LA in five days to be at the birth of his firstborn. He is about to fly home from Atlanta when his luggage and wallet are sent to LA without him, and he is put on the “no-fly” list. Desperate to get home Peter is forced to accept the offer of Ethan Tremblay (Galifianakis) to hitch a ride with him cross-country. Everything that could possibly ever go wrong, does, but in the most hysterical way possible! This is one I definitely can’t wait to see!
What is on your list to rent this week?

This DVD night is all about the drama. Never Let Me Go staring Carey Mulligan, Keira Knightley and Andrew Garfield hit shelves today. The film centers on Kathy, Ruth and Tommy, played respectively by Mulligan, Knightley and Garfield, who become entangled in a love triangle and are scientific specimens, created in a laboratory and raised in order to provide their organs to severely ill patients. It’s a romantic drama that is perfect to cuddle up to on a snowy night!
Also out is, Let Me In, a drama that tells the storey of a bullied 12-year-old boy who develops a friendship with a vampire child in a New Mexico town in the early 1980s. If you are into the whole vampire movie trend that seems to be taking over, you may really enjoy this movie. It combines drama, romance and horror and is said to set the standard for vampire movies to come. What will you be watching for your DVD Night?

Out on DVD tonight is the latest George Clooney crime drama, The American, about an American assassin trying to get out of the game. After a job goes wrong in Sweden he vows his next is his last, however, it’s never that easy, right? The movie takes place in Italy and although it is full of drama there is also a bit of romance. I mean it’s a Clooney film, should we expect anything else?!
Another drama/crime movie out today is Twelve, based on the controversial Nick McDonell novel that follows high school dropout turned successful drug dealer, White Mike in New York’s Upper East Side. He leads a double life selling drugs to all of the kids are home from boarding school and everyone has money to blow. We don’t want to give the movie away, but I’m sure you get the gist. The film stars Chace Crawford, Emma Robers, Kiefer Sutherland, and 50 Cent, or Curtis Jackson as he is known as in the film industry. Looks like a good week for movies to rent with your guy!

One of my favorite movies of the summer comes out today on DVD! Inception starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Ellen Page, among others, is definitely one I will be picking up. If you haven’t seen this movie, do it. This is a must see. It’s a mind bender and is constantly keeping you on your toes. Basically, it takes place in a world where technology exists to enter the human mind through dream invasion, and ideas are one’s most valuable asset but at the same time their most dangerous weapon. This movie will also make for a great gift this holiday season!

This is the third movie in The Twilight Saga, a series of five films adapted from Stephenie Meyer’s quartet of novels, and it comes out on DVD this week! Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner reprise their roles from the two earlier movies, but this time around there’s a new director, David Slade. The teenage heroine Bella Swan (Stewart) is still pursuing the vampire Edward Cullen (Pattinson), but she has another suitor, the hunky American Indian werewolf Jacob Black (Lautner). But now Edward and Jacob must team up to protect Bella from the vampire army created by the villainess Victoria (Bryce Dallas Howard).
Which team are you on – Jacob or Edward?

Looking for a great DVD Date night movie, try Knight and Day, starring Cameron Diaz and Tom Cruise. June Havens (Diaz) finds her everyday life tangled with that of a secret agent who has realized he isn’t supposed to survive his latest mission. As their campaign to stay alive stretches across the globe, they soon learn that all they can count on is each other. It’s great for a date because not only will your guy like that its action packed but it’s full of laughs that you’ll enjoy too.
Also out on DVD today is Vampires Suck starring Matt Lanter and Jenn Proske. Vampire movies and TV series have been taking over, and whether you like them or not the makers of this film certainly get across how they feel. The movie mainly spoofs the Twilight series, in an extremely inappropriate and lackluster kind of way, the concept seems funny but if you are a die-hard Twilight fan you may not want to pick up this one.
If you didn’t catch the summer tearjearker that was Charlie St. Cloud you’re in luck because it comes out on DVD today! The movie stars Zac Efron and newcomer, Amanda Crew, in a story about a boy who loses his little brother in a tragic accident. We’re in it simply for Zac Efron and we’re not ashamed to admit it! But the plot definitely seems to be interesting enough to watch on a cold, dark Tuesday night!
If you’re in the mood for something more lighthearted, Ramona & Beezus also comes out. Starring Selena Gomez and Ginnifer Goodwin the movie is about the power of sisterly love and it definitely looks to be on the funny side. We love Selena’s star style! She’s really into fashion so in honor of her movie being out on DVD, we had to put together some of her best looks below!

Our favorite ladies returned to the big screen this past May with Sex & the City 2! Now, the movie is finally out on DVD so we can watch it over and over again! That means, we’ll never miss an outfit change or any of Samantha’s witty comments!
Picking up two years after the last movie, when Carrie finally married Mr. Big, the second installment focuses on what happens when the marriage is no longer fun and exciting. Samantha is still well, her usual self, but she’s become slightly aware that she can’t keep up with her old tricks. Charlotte and Miranda are busy with the kids and family, but Miranda is still trying to juggle the career as well.
With the four friends in completely different places in their lives, of course it would be a perfect time for an all girls getaway! The getaway escape: Abu Dhabi! The vacation is complete with fabulous designer clothing and tons of surprises including a run-in with Carrie’s ex-fiance, Aiden!
Did you see ‘Sex & the City 2′? What’s your favorite part?
