I Love You Phillip Morris

 I flew to Geneva week ago and managed to watch this move on the flight. I am not a big fan of Jim Carrey and his crazy antics but I did enjoy this movie. He starts off as a loving and dedicated family man and then after an accident vows to live a life that he truly wants which means admitting to his wife that he is gay! His character from then on just deteriorates but it's very funny to watch. It's a depiction of how far people will go whilst claiming it's in the name of love, enjoy! 

Jaden Smith - Already following in dad's VERY BIG footsteps..

“I was born from two stars so the moon’s where I land”

This is the closing line to Jaden Smith’s rap verse in the new Soundtrack “Never Say Never” for his new movie, The Karate Kid. Jaden is very blessed to have talented & famous parents, Will & Jada Smith and it seems like the apple hasn’t fallen too far from the tree, he crept into everyone’s heart with a sterling performance in the movie “The Pursuit of Happyness” where he acted alongside his father who was nominated for a Best Actor award at the Oscar’s for this movie. He currently stars in the remake of The Karate Kid movie which was released in the States on the 11th of June alongside veteran Jackie Chan and it grossed $56 million in its opening weekend beating The A-Team movie which opened on the same weekend and grossed $26 million. I think Jaden definitely has a bright future ahead of him in Hollywood and I just watched the trailer of the new movie and even though it’s a remake, I definitely want to see it when it hits our shores.
The official theme song for the movie is “Never Say Never” by Justin Bieber featuring Jaden. The video is just so cute with the two of them in studio watching clips of the movie and will be such a heart-clincher for all their young fans. Watch this space as Little Jaden follows in his dad’s footsteps.

Below is the music video for “Never Say Never”

Death at a Funeral :)

Last year sometime a friend of mine recommended a movie called “Death at a Funeral” because it was just so funny! So I hired the movie and watched it with my boyfriend and afterwards we both agreed that she was right, it really was so funny :)
This year, whilst at the movies, we saw the trailer for “Death at a Funeral” but this was the American version with Hollywood stars as the lead actors because the original version that we watched was the British version. Besides all the big stars that were going to be in the movie, the main reason I wanted to watch it is due to curiosity as to whether the Americans could actually do a better job than the British.
The movie features Chris Rock, Martin Lawrence, Danny Glover, Zoe Saldana, Tracy Morgan, Columbus Short, Luke Wilson just to name drop a few. Despite knowing what was going to happen, I still did laugh out loud because the movie is just so funny and worth the trip to the cinema. The only disappointment for me was the lack of chemistry between Chris Rock and Martin Lawrence’s characters who play competitive brothers who’s father has passed on and Martin’s character comes home from New York, after a long absence, for the funeral. They didn’t make me believe that they were brothers & I think they could have casted people with just more chemistry, other than that it was funny AND I still think the British version was better. So if you are at your nearest DVD store and are looking for a good laugh, please do watch it.
Below are the trailers of the American version and the British version.

Sex and the City 2

I literally cannot explain my excitement when I went to watch Sex and The City 2! I must admit though that I have never watched the series but am a big fan of the movie, I am planning somewhere in the near future to find the time to actually watch the series though. There were so many other ladies there (as only can be expected), everyone had come with their best gal pals and I was forced to drag my boyfriend along due to miscommunication with a friend and was very impressed because he was on his best behaviour, didn't complain once!

Much like the fabulosity of the characters of Sex and the City it seems like there's an unspoken rule that you have to look fabulous just to go and watch the movie because you could tell that everyone had made the extra effort to look fabulous ;) I will rate the movie on all the different elements that stood out for me.

Fashion: 10/10

Loved, loved, loved the fashion!! The one thing that stood out for me about this move is the fashion and I had the same expectations with the sequel and they delivered. At some point, I actually thought that the characters were changing clothes in every scene because we just kept being dazzled by ensembles with every second breath. I just heard "oohs" and "aaahs" in the cinema and comments like "that shoe" oh " that dress", literally jaw-dropping. I loved Carrie's shoes & shades in the opening scene, Charlotte's deep pink dress in the "lunch in the desert" scene and almost all of Miranda's outfits!!

I love Charlotte's and Miranda's dresses in the above pic, understated glam!

Location: 8/10

New York: We didn't see much of New York in this movie but loved the opening track with Alicia Key's rendition of Empire State of Mind, when I go New York one day, i will walk the streets with that song playing on my ipod.

Abu Dhabi: I think the girls all-expenses-paid trip made Abu Dhabi seem so stunning, I doubt that I would have my own Maybach waiting to take me to my hotel upon my arrival. Their trip was any girls dream come true - up until Samanatha was caught "kissing" of course! Nonetheless I still saw side of it that I would have never dreamed that there could be, it was such a complementary background to the fashion, the girls dresses were so easy-flowing and laid back. I loved the camel rides and am not so sure about lunch in the desert, not in that kind of heat!

I love Carrie and Miranda's dresses in this pic and would rock Samantha's pants to a hot party!

Storyline: 4/10

If you go to watch this move with expectation of a substantial plot, please leave that notion at home because this movie is all things airy-fairy and how the hell do you expect to focus on all the fashion with a dramatic storyline?? I mean really!! I loved the nanny storyline and the fact that my boyfriend knows that he will never ever see a nanny that looks like that in our household ever, brought a smile to my face! I was disappointed that nothing much happened around Miranda or Samantha and the Carrie, Aidan and Big storyline was disappointing.

I love, love Charlotte's dress in this pic, I really want it!!

Gay wedding: 8/10

The gay choir was awesome, what an idea, i was really blown away by that even the swans could have stole that limelight. Liza Minnelli singing "All the Single Ladies" was the cherry on top, she did it justice, with such chutzpah and Sasha fierce attitude.

All in all I was very happy, I loved the movie and I think even my boyfriend enjoyed it although I doubt he would ever admit it. All my fashionably forward ladies, don't miss this one!!
