Shows how far prime time TV and Hollywood has grown apart
5 June 2008
I had been looking forward to seeing this move for a long time, but already when I saw the trailer I got a bad feeling for what was to come. "SATC, the movie" does top the series in the number of haute couture dresses and the sheer size of the format that we see in those all too long two hours, but in every other conceivable way almost any fan is in for a big letdown.

What was a show filled with snappy wits and sex appeal is now a tear filled drama of four forty-something year olds trying desperately to find the way back to their fastpased Manhattan days of old. It doesn't look pretty.

Where's the irony, where's the lust of life? In the end, the 80-something dresses Carry puts on just turs into a parody meant for the young shopaholic. Gone is everything that made the show so contemporary, up-to-date and successful.

Order yourself the DVD set (like you haven't already!), a lot of Haagen Daaz, and do yourself the favor of not letting this movie ruin Sex and City for you.

Just keeps on getting better
10 October 2007
First things first: If you are expecting political correctness, soft spoken voices, and a romantic post-dinner date movie; you are way off the map. This is brutally funny, and so politically incorrect that it flies off the charts in all its male macho-bravado chauvinism jargon. That said, it's not really a sexist movie, and I have yet to find a girl that takes any offense from it. They see the character Ford as he is; a Brooklyn-born, 1960 male rock'n roll stereotype with an ego outta this world.

I must have seen it at least 15 times, and every time I understand a new line I did not get the last time. Just keeps on getting better. Too much? I don't think so. UNBELIEVABLE.

A Love Story (1970)

The sweetest film I have ever seen!
3 February 2004
I have seen quite a lot of movies, all genres, all ages, but no one comes even close to touching my romantic side as much as this one. I had never heard of the film or director when I was about to watch the film at the local film enthusiast club, but I, as well as everyone else around me it seemed, wanted to know more after having seen this. Quite simply the sweetest, most natural projection of true young love on film. Ever.
