Get Carried Away in 2 months!

I cannot quite put into words how excited I am that in just two months, Sex and the City: The Movie opens! I have been looking forward to this movie ever since the finale of the HBO series and even before there ever were hopes of a movie making it to the "Big" screen. And yes, I will shamelessly admit that I have had a countdown ticking away the days, minutes, and seconds until Carrie and Big make their way back onto the screen again.

Not much has been released about the movie as the studio heads at HBO have miraculously kept most of the plot details under wraps all through filming and post-production. Fans of the show are still left with the question of "Will they or won't they?" in terms of the Carrie and Big wedding and wondering what ever happened to the girls after the series wrapped on it's final show. I have no answers and refuse to share any spoilers I've come across (sorry!) But what I do have, however, is the full-length trailer for your viewing pleasure courtesy of Screenplay, Inc.

See the movie in theaters on May 30!

It is a sad day indeed, but my favorite moment from his breakthrough role will always be remembered.

A Golden Night for Beloved Johnny

Johnny Depp’s amazing talent has finally been recognized after 8 nominations as he won his first Golden Globe for his magnificent portrayal of the Demon Barber of Fleet Street in Tim Burton’s “Sweeny Todd.” Depp won in the “best actor in a musical or comedy” category as the film also took home top honors as “Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy.”

I have loved Johnny Depp for so long and have sadly sat and watched his 7 previous snubs and all I can say now is that it is about time! He really should have been honored for his brilliant interpretation of the infamous Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates trilogy; without Depp, the films would have flopped.

Last night’s Golden Globe’s were announced Press Conference style due to the writers strike which is a shame because I would have loved to have seen him personally honored. My fingers will remain crossed for the upcoming Oscar nominations that will be announced on January 22. Here’s to hoping for another win!

Mafia vs. Jungle

I am not sure if it is because I am a huge Candace Bushnell fan or if it is because last night’s premier of the much anticipated new ABC series “Cashmere Mafia” failed to live up to it’s high “Sex and the City”-like expectations. The most drama of all invloves the show's producer and former “Sex and the City” producer, Darren Star, who seems to have borrowed the ideas of Candace Bushnell’s novel-turned-TV series, “Lipstick Jungle” which is due to air on February 7.

Whether it was coincidental or an intentional slap in the face for Bushnell, the characters of Cashmere Mafia are too starkly similar to those of the 2005 novel “Lipstick Jungle.” From being the top women in their jobs to the dramas involved in their home lives and the way in which they try to find balance between the two, “Cashmere Mafia” and “Lipstick Jungle” are almost a mirror image of each other.

It seems that former “Sex and the City” guest star Lucy Liu stole the spotlight in the pilot of “Cashmere Mafia” with her spot-on depiction of her character, Mia. However, the show failed to draw me in to the three other women and never really showed the true correlation between the ladies other than the fact that they were college friends and they finish each other’s sentences. There really was no chemistry between these four women.

Except for a few moments of in-your-face dialogue spoken by the ladies, the script fell short of really making its mark and drawing in the viewers. The pilot was mediocre and I have experienced more drama in five minutes of “Grey’s Anatomy” than in one hour of “Cashmere Mafia.”

“Cashmere Mafia” has left me eagerly anticipating the premier of Bushnell’s “Lipstick Jungle” next month and hoping that NBC can successfully pull of a transition from the book to the screen in a way that would fill the void that was left when Carrie Bradshaw’s sex left the city.
