No Strings Attached Announced for Blu-ray and DVD

A minor hit when it was dropped into theaters in late January (as opposed to Valentine’s Day), No Strings Attached will see its release as a BD/DVD combo pack on May 10. So just as the school year ends and summer lovin’ begins, it will be done so with “no strings attached.”

Academy Award winner Natalie Portman (Black Swan) and Ashton Kutcher star in this R-rated romantic comedy, directed by Ivan Reitman, that gives an “intimate look” at the ups and down of being sex buddies.

To promote the disc, Paramount Home Entertainment has teamed with online dating and relationship site PerfectMatch.com. An insert in the Blu-ray package will offer singles looking to pursue their own modern-day relationship a free three-month premium subscription to PerfectMatch ($179 value).

The DVD and BD release will include a commentary from director Ivan Reitman, two featurettes (Sex Friends: Getting Together and Inside the Sassy Halls of Secret High), deleted scenes and alternate storylines. The BD comes with a single exclusive, a featurette titled Modern Love.

The DVD will be priced to own at $19.99, while the combo release will retail for $29.99.

"The Other Woman" On DVD

The Other Woman had a blink and miss it release into theatres a few weeks ago, and before that a more successful release to Video On Demand. Now the film, originally titled Love And Other Pursuits, will finally get a DVD and Blu-ray release on May 17.

Personally, I'm quite curious to finally check this film out. Probably more so than I am in seeing No Strings Attached. If you're also curious, you can order via our Amazon links here - Blu-ray and DVD.

With the release comes a new cover image.

Natalie Portman wins Oscar for "Black Swan"

A visibly nervous and very pregnant Natalie Portman was near tears after winning the Academy Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role at the Oscars Sunday night (February 27) for her performance as a ballerina on the verge of a mental breakdown in Darren Aronofsky's "Black Swan."


"Thank you. Thank you so much. This is insane!" the 29-year-old first-time Oscar winner enthused after taking the stage. "I truly and sincerely wish that the prize tonight was to get to work with my fellow nominees."

Although just the second-youngest of her co-nominees, Portman was previously nominated as Best Supporting Actress for her role in "Closer" and has been working with some of the best directors in the business since childhood — and in a rambling speech she nearly managed to thank all of them.

"Luc Besson, who gave me my first job [in 'The Professional']," Portman began. "['Closer' director] Mike Nichols, who has been my hero. And to everyone who's ever hired me!"

"Darren Aronofsky, you are a visionary," she added of her "Black Swan" director. "I am so blessed to have gotten to work for you."

Portman saved her most effusive gratitude, however, for her parents, who were in the audience, and especially for her fiancé Benjamin Millepied, with whom she is having a child.

"I want to thank my parents for giving me the opportunity to work from such an early age. My beautiful love, Benjamin, who has now given me my most important role of my life," she gushed. "Most importantly, my family, my friends, and my love, thank you so much."
