 Devil Wears Prada
Review of The Devil Wears Prada DVD by
amerie86
Advantages: Meryl Streep
Disadvantages: None
...my opinion much better than the book and that is truly rare.
Without Meryl Streep, The Devil Wears Prada would maybe get a 2 star rating. The bitchy, backstabbing, mad world of producing newspapers and magazines. Once I was told the story about a young woman who is now the editor of a prestigious American title. She arrived on the dairy column a bit plump, long haired with a bit of an accent. A few months later she was a walking fashion show, total ...

Advantages: Excellent Cast, Amusing
Disadvantages: Slightly Weak Plot, Slow To Get Going
...that explores the notion that Shakespeare wasn't that great a writer and was, in fact, simply a lusty man ever in search of a muse - or, in other words, a woman to lay that might, if he's lucky, give him some inspiration for a new play. I kind of like his style, actually.
Trying to write "Romeo and Ethel, the Pirate's Daughter," Shakespeare - played by Joseph Fiennes - discovers he's suffering from writer's block, a phenomenon known to many of us ...
...appease both her desire for Shakespeare and the stage itself, Viola takes to the boards as a young boy and plays the part of Romeo in Will's new play.
Shakespeare himself discovers quickly that this new muse has, indeed, unlocked his writer's block and he starts to write his new play, helped by the input of his financially depressed theatre owner, Hugh Fennyman (played by Tom Wilkinson) and his lead actor, Ned Alleyn, who ultimately suggests a new ...

Little Miss Sunshine
Review of Little Miss Sunshine DVD by
amerie86
Advantages: All round good acting
Disadvantages: None!
...with aspirations to win the Little Miss Sunshine competition in California, a 900 mile drive away.
Olive's brother is an angst-ridden teenager who has given up on the power os speech, and together with his suicidal uncle who comes along for the ride the scene is set for an interesting couple of days in an old VW camper-van.
One disaster follows another...
Definitely a film for a bit of light relief, and one to watch when the heart needs lifting ...
