Review of The Devil Wears Prada (DVD)

Sometimes the truth is 'Stranger Than Fiction'.

Advantages: A unique, intriguing and well-written story with some powerful performances.
Disadvantages: the ending has been considered by some to be too neatly tied up.

Stranger than Fiction (2006) directed by Marc Forster is a somewhat dark comedy centred around a man called Harold Crick (played by Will Farrell.) Harold leads a relatively mundane and lonely life as an IRS auditor. Everyday he wakes up at the same time, ties his tie in the same knot, gets the same bus, eats the same lunch alone and then makes his way home to eat dinner at his single one-bedroom apartment. However, this all changes when he starts ...
...apartment. The original score and soundtrack compliments the film's story, with numbers from Spoon, The Jam's 'Entertainment' and M83's 'In Church', among others. All in all, Stranger than Fiction is a film that sucks you in with an intriguing plot line and keeps you immersed until the very end. ...

Review of Stranger Than Fiction (DVD)

Even best friends can't share the same wedding day.

Advantages: Lots of funny moments, gorgeous dresses, flowers, etc to look at!
Disadvantages: None (in my opinion!)

...Ritz and seeing a beautiful bride coming out of the hotel with her husband on her arm. They make a pact there and then that their wedding will be in June at the very same venue. Liv played by Kate Hudson is a tough Associate lawyer and one of the prestigious law firms in Manhattan. She is known for getting her own way and taking no prisoners along the way.Kate Hudson plays a fantastic part, and will clearly not back down when tough choices need ...
...and is much more likeable as her character is eager to please, and also easily taken advantage of. As the film progresses, the two characters start to change, as the blessed day turns them into evil, desperate women determined to have their perfect day at absolutely any costs. The film is an interesting take on weddings, and most women who have been married will be able to see what the characters are going through. The perfect weddings mean that ...

Disadvantages: There are absolutely none whatsoever for me

M*A*S*H (Mobile Army Surgical hospital) was a television series that ran for eleven seasons between 1973 and 1983. The series was set in the Korean War and based around the oddball characters that served in the 4077th MASH. The series itself fits into the category of black comedy set in the Korean War. It is probably the best place here to mention that this series does not insinuate ever that war or the situations is causes is a funny thing or that ...
...simply highlights how in the toughest of situations it is often the humour of those that remain that prevails the longest. Sort of along the ‘they can crush us but they’ll never crush our spirit’ lines. Therefore the series does not shy from making some statements about war even if they are made in a comedic way but is careful to place just the right amount of emphasis on sensitive issues without becoming bogged down with them. None of the episodes ...
