Love, Action & Comedy: 3 New DVDs Not To Miss

Failure To Launch
Starring Matthew McConaughey, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Zooey Deschanel
Paramount Home Entertainment

Whenever my non-New-Yorker friends come for a visit they without fail ask, “Can you take us somewhere they go eating/drinking/dancing in Sex and the City?” Well real New Yorkers know that Sex in the City is soooo two years ago…literally, the show is over, it’s easy to get a table at Balthazars, and no one goes to the “church of disco,” a.k.a Avalon if they’re not from Staten Island, New Jersey, or Eastern Europe.

But what we New Yorkers do know is that SJP is amazing, Matthew McConaughey is gorgeous, Zooey Deschanel is hilarious, and that women love light-hearted romantic comedies with all-star casts such as this one! Not to mention that Sarah Jessica Parker’s fun and comfortable style in Failure to Launch offers some great tips for staying chic this summer!

Annapolis
Starring James Franco and Donnie Wahlberg
Buena Vista Home Entertainment

Is anyone else super excited for the new season of “Entourage”? I sure know I am. And what better way to celebrate the season of hilarious antics from the over-indulgent posse than with the release of “Annapolis” this month!

Okay, that might not make sense yet, but it will….

Donnie Wahlberg, former member of New Kids on the Block, is the brother of one of the world’s biggest movie stars, Mark Wahlberg (”The Italian Job”, “The Perfect Storm”, “Boogie Nights”) who is the producer and motivating force behind the HBO hit series “Entourage”. Are you starting to get it?

Mark Wahlberg describes the show, which began its third season on June 11th, as a recording of his personal experience with fame and fortune, a diary of his personal life. So Donnie Wahlberg, does that that make you the one-of-a-kind self-promoting party boy aka JOHNNY DRAMA?!? I guess you finally found your big break, huh?

Madea’s Family Reunion
Why Did I Get Married?
Madea Goes To Jail
Starring Tyler Perry
Lions Gate Home Entertainment

Tyler Perry might not sound familiar today but I guarantee you that within the next two years he will become as household as Oprah herself. And he’s got the same rags to riches story to tell. Tyler Perry was born to a poor urban family in New Orleans and spent is childhood suffering from abuse. A student at the New School University, he graduated eager to write and act but found himself unsuccessful, stumbling in and out of homelessness, struggling to accept the pain in his past.

After watching an episode of Oprah, where she suggested that writing a journal could be a healthy way of dealing with excessive emotions, Tyler Perry’s life changed. He began to keep a journal, detailing the difficult life he lead up until the age of 28. The journal, which started as a cathartic therapy, turned into screenplays about loss and family.

Tyler Perry became an award winning director, producer, writer, actor, and drag queen, playing the star character of his work, Madea. And, as the saying goes, “comedy stems from tragedy,” because these films are F.U.N.N.Y!

All three DVDs will be available on June 27th, so pre-order now!
