Movies, Film and My Opinion

 I enjoyed it. I really did. And the twists and turns and how everyone turned out it was just... it made me smile. And the music! The music in the movie was really good. I will have to find the soundtrack, because, wow, Lady Gaga has done it again. This tale brings all the favs back: Miranda (played by Meryl Streep), Andie (played by Anne Hathaway), Emily (of course played by Emily Blunt) and Nigel (played beautifully by Stanley Tucci). Miranda and Nigel are still at Runway, Emily is at Dior and Andie is writing for a well known publication as an award-winning journalist. Things change, Andie loses her job and she finds her way back to Runway with the help of Irv (played by Tibor Feldman). The fashion, the scene cuts/melds and music combo brings us back into a wonderful world of fashion with the new Emily named Amari (played by Simone Ashley) and 2nd assistant Charlie (played by Caleb Hearon). The changes at Runway include HR reminding everyone, including Miranda, that there are th...

 Eh. It could have been better. The minions were cute, the little German speaking director was reasonable, but overall I wanted more. The plot, the climax, the intensity of characters - all of it.

And will there be bananas? So many questions to answer and they find a book of spells and get their monster. And their monster gets another monster. So now what happens? Will the movie studio accept their film? What do all the monsters what in return for being in their film? Will there be a sequel?...

 My husband and I, being superhero fans, really wanted to see this movie and see the differences and possible similarities to the TV "Supergirl" that we enjoyed so much starring Melissa Benoist. I did enjoy the introduction, at least to me, of Superdog, Krypto. It's sad he wasn't in most of the movie, except for flashbacks, but it was still good to see him.  Supergirl herself, played by Milly Alcock, was not as attractive to me as a superhero. We were introduced to her in the movie as a drunk, and lots of throwing up. Actually, more throwing up during the movie, so I guess that's a thing she can put on her resume. She was very cocky, knowing her strength, until someone shoots her dog. And like my husband said "Didn't this guy learn anything from John Wick?" Truly, don't mess with the dog. It will not go well for him. And yes, Kara had a heart - she cared for her dog, she cared for the girl with a lot of revenge, Ruthye, played by Eve Ridley, and ...
