Andrea “Andy” Sachs has just graduated in journalism and wants to become a well known journalist. To accomplish that she applies for a job as second assistant of Miranda Priestly. She is the executive of the Runway fashion magazine and is able to give her assistants any job they would like to have, as long as they keep working for her during one year. But Miranda Priestly is a ruthless, merciless and cruel woman who will make the year a living hell for Andrea.
After reading the book I couldn’t wait to watch the movie in the cinema. The story about an executive of a fashion magazine, who acts as if she is queen of the universe, is really entertaining. It makes you feel bad for the assistant, but at the same time you want Miranda Priestly to make things even worse. Meryl Streep did an excellent job being a merciless and cruel woman to everyone around her.
A perfect movie for a sleepover with lots of popcorn!
Byung-Doo is a young gangster struggling to create some income for himself, his mother and his siblings. Failing to get up in the rankings, a wealthy industrialist offers him a one time chance, but at a cost. This while his forgotten childhood friend is getting in contact, to know more about his gangster life for his next movie.
English subtitles by me, sorry for any errors.
This Korean production isn’t your average stylish over scripted gangster fight movie, but a well scripted drama about the rise and struggle of a career criminal. While Byung-Doo goes around his ordinary gangster life, director Yu Ha makes it painfully clear a gangster life and a casual life don‘t mix well together.
Rich characters, a great ambiance and deep performances makes this a human gangster movie that's out to impress.
Murderball, quadriplegic wheelchair rugby played by guys that don’t care about pity, unless it will get them laid of course. Mark Zupan is the badass American team captain. Joe Soares left the American team and joined the Canadian team to beat, of course, the Americans. And Keith has just been in an accident and is now in recovery, but already interested in Murderball.
All have their own daemons, but together they break down the stereotypical image of disabled people.
An inspirational story about hopes and dreams. Although we look back, the story mainly concentrates on the future. This is what they do. Not looking back, but coming out with more than they had before. An amazing display about passion, friends, family and rivalry.
You can keep your hugs, because they're about to kick some serious ass.
Devastated by the death of his friend Melquiades Estrada, ranch foreman Pete Perkins tries to fulfill his buddies last wish, while looking for his killer. They end up on a journey to the Mexican border, where hopeless Mexicans try to cross and things aren’t like Melquiades described.
Writer Guillermo Arriaga (Amores Perros) bring us this story with a perfect mix of flashbacks and present time. Tommy Lee Jones not only impresses with his direction, but lets you feel the pain of Pete Perkins.
A strong movie about the meaning and emotion of friendship, the madness of mental pain or even humanity in general.
This is the story about IRS agent Harold Crick, the narrator tells us. Only, Harold can hear the narrator too. In detail she tells him how he brushes his teeth. Suddenly, he realizes he is a book’s main character. In search for the author, the author herself is trying to find an end to the story.
It's not every day a story so fresh, quirky and original entertains without being too shallow. As Jim Carrey in The Truman Show, Will Ferrel (I'm sure he would hate this comparison) goes serious, without taking it too far. Most original ideas turn into one trick ponies. But there's so much to this story, there seems to be so much heart and passion in it, it's almost impossible not to get some delicious popcorn for it.
By the director that brought you Finding Neverland and Monster's Ball, this is a story you should definitely check out.
"Great choice for start of the week! I love this film! Cate Blanchett's supporting role far exceeds what Paltrow can do given her meatier role, but hey [....]"
