Let's start with Sex and the City 2. Let me preface this with the fact that BuDaChick is a huge fan of the show, and that it is one of the chick shows she watches that I actually tolerate. Fuck it. I enjoy Sex and the City. There I said it. It's a good show. Sex and the City The Movie was some of the worst piece of crap I've ever seen quite possibly ever. The writers fucked so much up I can't even explain. I just pretend that Steve didn't cheat on Miranda.
Sex and the City 2 did not disappoint in the "let's make a shitty movie after a pretty decent show" department. Believe it or not, Sex and the City 2 was worse than the first movie. I thought it would be bad, but I thought it might be better than the first movie. I thought there was a chance. No. I was skeptical to begin with, because I knew most of the movie took place in Abu Dhabi. Sex and the Abu Dhabi? Seriously? The show had 5 main characters - the 4 women, and the city. The 4 women brought the sex to the city, hence, Sex and the City. So let's all fly to the United Arab Emirates for the second movie. Makes sense, right? The producers and writers of this movie are fucking retards.
The one thing about the movie that I liked was that there wasn't stupid drama. The first movie was over the top with the first failed wedding, the depression, Miranda and Steve, Charlotte and her baby troubles, Samantha and Smith. C'mon. Enough. This movie is light on the drama, but it is also light on the quality and substance. Worst part of the movie? Easy. Liza Minelli makes a cameo appearance to marry two gay dudes (which makes no sense - it was like SJP had them write that in just to get her buddy Willie Garson into the movie...). Her cameo appearance as the officiant/minister who married them was somewhat entertaining, but then she performed the entire rendition and dance to Beyonce's "Single Ladies". It wasn't funny for the first five seconds and it remained unfunny for the full length song and dance. Turrible.
Angels & Demons - I read the books in order and really liked the book as it was the first one of the series. A lot of the movie was spot on , but what was changed was peculiar. The assassin was not interesting. He was just a character. He didn't have portions on the movie devoted to him, so you didn't care about him or his mission or more importantly his boss. This movie was better than The DaVinci Code, but it still wasn't very good. They removed the portion of the book where Langdon follows the Camerlengo into the helicopter, and then you find out that he isn't the nice guy every one wants him to be. It was just stupid.
Swingers - I haven't seen the entire movie maybe ever, even though I know pretty much every line. BuDaChick never saw it, or said she saw it but I didn't believe her. It was enjoyable. Good lines and good quotes. The "6 days" part of the movie where they're talking about when to call a girl after acquiring her number is pretty hilarious.
That's all I got skanks. I've been ridiculously busy lately, so posts have been scarce. No one seems to care. Oh well. Peace out yo.
