Sex and the City 2

The two of us saw Sex and the City 2 yesterday. We are huge fans and were so excited to see it opening day. Attired in our Chloe, Phillip Lim, and Marc Jacobs Stam bags, we certainly looked the part. Unfortunately, the movie was horrid. The plot was nonexistent, the dialogue was crass and vulgar, and the fashion was garish and tacky. No elegance, style, or sophistication to be found. Not even any fun. The four are a bit too old and frankly look it to be acting like such idiots. And since when did the setting for Sex and the City switch from New York City to Abu Dhabi? Do yourself a favor and hit the Memorial Day sales, then watch Sex and the City 1 again. You'll thank us.

An Education

If you have not seen the movie An Education, catch it before it closes. This coming of age story set in 1960s suburban London, is a British Mad Men for its perfect styling of this era and its look at society in pre-swinging London. The clothes and cars are fabulous, as is this story of bright 16 year old Jenny headed hopefully to Oxford (played brilliantly by Carey Mulligan), and her whirlwind romance with an older playboy David (Peter Sarsgaard) twice her age. I want a Bristol car by the way. Like Betty Draper learns of Don, David is more complicated than he seems. Witty and elegant, this is a lovely film.

The Twilight Saga: New Moon

I'm not sure which I enjoyed more, seeing the movie last night or reading this brilliantly funny review from the Guardian.
