An Education
On the surface, An Education ($19) may seem the typical story of a young girl whose parents dream of her attending Oxford - when a 30-something ne'er do well mucks up her plans. But with an amazing ensemble cast of Emma Thompson, Peter Sarsgaard, Dominic... [More]
Handmade Nation DVD
Hey, DIY junkies! Here's a film all about you. Faythe Levine took a step outside and noticed that we're smack dab in the middle of a wave of Etsy-ers and craft boutiques. She traveled to 15 cities across the nation (daaang, that's a lot!), resulting... [More]
Our gift to the Duke Blue Devils: Avatar on DVD & Blu-Ray
*Yawn* Duke won the NCAA Championship. Again. Surprise, surprise. Not that we're not happy for them, or anything, but our office was much more concerned with our March Fug Madness brackets. But we guess they deserve a prize, seeing as how NCAA players don't get... [More]
3 Idiots
3 Idiots ($18) is a little like Bollywood's version of The Hangover, only without the drinking and Vegas-level debauchery. Two nerdy friends, Farhan and Raju, go on a coming-of-age road trip in search of their despondent, depressed friend Rancho, and, naturally, hijinks (with the occasional... [More]

A Gift for Spencer Pratt: Steven Seagal, Lawman
We were more than a little surprised to hear that Spencer Pratt is leaving The Hills to become a cyber security agent. But given how his wife, Heidi 3.0, has gone completely off the deep end since her most recent round o' surgeries and hired... [More]
RIP Corey Haim: We're breaking out our VHS copies of "License to Drive"
Say it ain't so! Corey Haim is DEAD? To pull a phrase out of the 80's graveyard, crack is whack, people. Don't ever start. In memoriam of (our personal favorite) half of the Two Coreys, we're digging our old Tiger Beat magazines and VHS copies... [More]
Regan's Brain Mad Men Pillow
Ever since the day Mad Men made its way into our hearts and onto our DVRs, we've been secretly searching for a tall dark and handsome man - clad in a pinstripe suit, smoking cigs and eager to leave our hearts and liquor cabinets empty.... [More]
Movie Night: Valentine's Day Preparedness
Yawn. Despite the wine and conversation hearts and cards and teddies of both kinds everywhere, are you just not grooving on the upcoming holiday? We at Outblush tend to think that shopping is an end in and of itself, but if you're not feeling the... [More]
Love Story Documentary
This isn't the Love Story made famous by Ryan O'Neal and Ali MacGraw - This psychedelic-infused funk rock story is way cooler than that silly tearjerker. The Love Story Documentary ($34) exposes the behind-the-scenes lives of the five members of Love, an eclectic American rock... [More]
Masterpiece Classic: Emma
Jeremy Northam's singularly brilliant and swoon-able turn as Mr. Knightley in the 1996 version of Emma aside, the new Masterpiece Classic: Emma miniseries ($22, on DVD 2/9/10) might just be our personal favorite adaptation of Austen's classic novel to date. (Please note: we didn't say... [More]
Bright Star
Jane Campion knows what women want to watch, and Bright Star ($20) is no exception. The tale of the love story of poet John Keats and Fanny Brawne has a sweeping scope, but it's the details that make the movie shine. We'll warn you ahead... [More]
Whip It
The DVD of Drew Barrymore's directorial debut, Whip It, ($19, out 1/26/10) is a fast, bumpy ride, just like the roller derby world it's set in. Ellen Page's game turn as Bliss Cavendar, new recruit to the Hurl Scouts, offers laughs and a surprising amount... [More]
The Hurt Locker
Excellent acting and writing gave The Hurt Locker ($19) a well-deserved nomination for Best Picture at this year's Golden Globes. The realism is devastating in this fictional piece about the current war in Iraq. Gut-wrenching performances tell an all-too accurate narrative about active duty and... [More]
Top of the Pops for 2010: 30 Rock
30 Rock is THE best comedy show on TV right now. That is why we're making 30 Rock our Top of the Pops comedy show of 2010. Tina Fey stars as TV writer Liz Lemon, who along with a hilarious cast of characters played by... [More]
Netflix Gift Subscription
So, know anybody who still doesn't have Netflix? Guess they don't have electricity, either. Anyhoo, give 'em the gift of the red envelope. As far as last-minute gifts go, a Netflix subscription is easy. All you gotta do is e-mail it to them. You can... [More]
Planet Earth: The Complete BBC Series Blu-ray Set
If Santa drops off an HDTV and Blu-ray player at your place in the next couple days, we urge you to pick up a copy of Planet Earth: The Complete BBC Series ($39) on Blu-ray disc. Thanks to acclaimed British naturalist Sir David Attenborough, this... [More]
Inglourious Basterds
Mmmm. Brad Pitt with a mustache. In uniform. Could there be anything better? Nope, didn't think so. The plot of Inglourious Basterds ($16) is just a wee tad all over the freaking place, and the coterie of Pitt's basterds is only onscreen for about 45... [More]
The Hangover
Is there anyone on your holiday list who wouldn't love The Hangover ($10)? We think not (though you may want to skip the unrated version for great-aunt Maude). It comes out tomorrow, and if nothing else, you should pick up a copy of it for... [More]
The Tudors: Complete Third Season
We never thought we'd say this, given all the pictures we saw of him in history books, but Henry VIII is yummy. Or, at least, Jonathan Rhys-Meyers' masterful portrayal of him in The Tudors: The Complete Third Season ($25) makes him that way. It may... [More]
