The Devil Wears Prada (2006)
A frumpy girl's life changes when she gets a job at a fashion magazine with a boss from hell.
How did this movie get nominated for anything? It is up there with two great movies like the Departed and Little Miss Sunshine, when this movie was predictable and dull. First of all, Anne Hathaway is not fat or ugly enough to play this role! Her on;y problem is her style when later she is shown to have perfect legs, big breasts and a flat stomach after she was called fat multiple times. How? Also, we knew she was going to get a makeover from the moment she was dissed for not being fashionable. There was also the typical feminine male character that was entertaining but not very different from anything else I've ever seen. Streep was wonderful and talented as usual, but Hathaway lacked creativity with this role. It was OK, but disappointing.
The Illusionist (2006)
an intelligent and mysterious film-something new
i was into this movie within minutes. the plot was gripping and amazingly well thought out. I loved the acting, even Jessica Biel's, and most importantly,it was not predictable. The characters were also well developed, whole-hearted people with more than just a good guy a bad guy and a pretty girl. Paul G's character was well rounded and you could really see his emotion.
However, i did not like the ending. I loved how he cast the last illusion and how he disappeared when he was about to be arrested, but i think Sophie should have stayed dead. I liked his cunning escape, but not everything should have been rainbows and sunshine in the end, the movie was not set up to be like that.
Elizabethtown (2005)
A guy trying to make it in the world, and finds much more on the way
Elizibethtown is a heart to heart kind of movie. It has sad parts, that make you think about some toutchy topics. Then, there are the laugh-out-loud funny scenes that dominate most of the movie. Bloom and Dunst are absolutely fabulous together. Dunst plays a cute, quirky girl that seems like the kind of person that would make an ideal friend. Bloom is awesome as always and did a great job on this performance, especially considering that he had to master an American accent. A great must-see movie. Guys, you might not like all of it, there are a few mushy moments, but the comedy makes up for any part that might be boring. A good date movie that you won't have to force anyone to stay to finish. An absolute joy.
The Pink Panther (2006)
A french inspector just trying to do good, despite his lack of intelligence. Even though he's not the smartest, he has a good heart.
I liked this movie, i think i could have waited for the DVD, but it was a very enjoyable movie, for young and old alike. It was extremely funny, and the general attitude and demeanor of the inspector (steve Martin) is hilarious. A great movie for the whole family!The way he acts is so funny, and reminds me of Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean. The misinterpretations of his French accent provide comic situations and many funny one-liners. I would recommend this movie to someone who wants to have a good time at the movies and won't squirt soda out of their noses from laughing to hard. An absolute knee-snapper. It may look stupid, but i would take a second look. Its so funny!
