"Details of your incompetence do not interest me."

For this week only, I'm working at a magazine in the editing department, and so I've decided to list my top 5 movies that are about, well, working at a magazine. They're in no particular order by the way. Click the numbers to see the trailers.

Top 5 Magazine Related Movies:

1) The Devil Wears Prada - the first time I watched this, I enjoyed it. But after a second viewing, I wasn't so keen. There are a few laughs along the way but it isn't an amazing film.

2) 13 going on 30 - I really like this film; it's innocent and girly but it also teaches you a valuable life lesson: don't try and grow up too fast!

3) How to Lose Friends and Alienate People - Comedy genius, I love Simon Pegg :) Definintely watch this (but be warned, there's a dodgy scene with a trannie).

4) How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days - Ok so I'll admit it, I never watched the end of this film, but what I saw was actually rather hilarious. It's a really clever idea for a movie :D

5) Confessions of a Shopaholic - I quite liked this, it may have been silly at times and ever so slightly stereotypical towards women, but it was a fun film to watch with a group of friends.

Comments are appreciated :) honest.

Sex and the City, The Movie: the story of 4 (mature) women, their relationships, careers, motherhood and life in Manhattan. Slightly more of a female film, just slightly.

Having only ever seeing brief clips of the TV series, I didn't know quite what to expect. I didn't expect it to be particularly intellectual and mainly based around fashion - I was pretty much right. Their existence appears to revolve around their wardrobe.

The storyline focuses on Carrie and Big - will they get married? Miranda and divorce, Samantha and her attracttive neighbour, and Charlotte being a mum. At times the action got a bit tedious but it does focus on many different aspects of life, I guess that's good.

One of the features that REALLY annoyed me, was that for a film that heavily focuses on fashion, some of the clothes were horrible, really truly gross. I admit that I did like some items of clothing, and even though I doubt I'd ever wear most of the things that Carrie wears, I did really like some. But there were too many that were hideous. The major offensive item, for me, was the designer handbag that Carrie buys for her PA - it is not pretty. And that's why I just couldn't understand why the PA's face lit up at the sight of it. Probably just because it was designer.

This film has taught me that even if clothes cost loads, and have a respected designer: it doesn't make them nice.

However, I guess I enjoyed it on the whole as it is quite a fun and upbeat film most of the time, but I found it difficult to relate to the characters (having never seen a full episode from the series). Also, they were quite a lot older than me and so their problems vary greatly from mine.
