Movie Review: The Devil Wears Prada 2

 

I saw this movie opening weekend and I have thoughts. But not too spoilery.

1. I really enjoyed it, but it wasn't as good as the first one

2. I wish Gisele was in it

3. I loved Emily Blunt and the range of her character

4. That Nigel Moment

5. I didn't love the fashion as much as the first movie

6. I wish Andy really did have more confidence 

7. I loved the friendship moment

8. I loved the nods to the first movie

9. Charlie was great!

10. The SNARK!

I'm really glad they made a sequel.

If you liked the first one, you'll enjoy this one too. 

Movie Matinee: The Post

The Washington Post was a family run paper, looking to make a bigger name for itself. When Katharine Graham's father died, he left the paper to her husband. She only took over when he committed suicide. It wasn't supposed to be forever - or even a significant amount of time. But then the New York Times ran an expose on the cover-up about the Vietnam War. And everything changed. They had choices to make...

My Thoughts:
I really like the movie.
It was a slow start, but picked up at the end
I loved the newspaper mechanics part
The acting was wonderful, what else would you expect?
I loved learning more about this era
I really liked the powerful part at the end.
The idea of friendship and newspapers was very interesting.
And of course the ending was funny.

I admit I was a little disappointed that it wasn't more of a feminist movie, that the determination of Katharine came only at the end. But it does make me want to read more about her, because I suspect there is more to the story.

Trailer Thursdays: Iron Lady

I'm so curious about this movie and the life of Margaret Thatcher. Plus I love Meryl Streep!

Take a look and tell me what you think...
