MOVIE REVIEWS

SEX AND THE CITY
It's nothing but fluff, people. I will be honest with you. It had a relatively predictable plot; what I thought would happen, did, in fact, happen, EXACTLY as I imagined it would. The clothes were glamorous and over the top, just as one would expect them to be -- I mean, it was the Sex and the City girls. In fact, I'm stepping out on a limb here and suggesting that the fashion was a main character, a beast really, all unto its own.

There was plenty of that S word through out the film, and this is where I was left slightly troubled, because a couple of times, I actually thought I should be hearing sleazy porno soundtracks in the background. That's how raw some of the scenes were. I realize that the series was groundbreaking and all that, charting new territory among the censored and censors. However, I wasn't really looking to watch porn when I went into the show, and, as I said, I felt, at times, that is exactly what it was. Thankfully, that was only at certain points in the movie and not throughout!

Overall, I would give it a B-. It was a great flick to see with some good girl friends. Not with a boyfriend/husband, unless, of course, you plan to torture him for close to two hours.

THE STRANGERS
I didn't go to see this movie. I'm getting this movie review from Michael the PT who went with his wife over the weekend.

"Was it scary, freaky, insanely frightening?" I asked Michael the PT.

His reply, with big wide eyes? "OH. MY. LORD!"

"That scary?"

"That scary," he replied.

"So, I have this freakishly insane imagination that tends to run a bit wild. Is this something I should stay away from?"

"Yes! I wouldn't go see it all!" He swallowed hard. "Some things were a bit over the top, but you were really left with the feeling that 'this could really happen,' and you didn't leave the movie theater feeling all that great about it."

Well, sign me up for that!

Movie grade: A BIG "I'll never go see that movie!" Thanks to Michael the PT for heads up on that one!
