big

i finally nailed sex and the city movie last night, thanks to mai-mai's blu ray copy! hehehehehe!

while this movie version paled in comparison to the series, this was still a thrill for the fans - for the only reason of missing the series. the movie failed to carry the series' witty dialog and clever play of the english language and resorted to more cliche lines, but got off to a good start when the movie continued from the end of the series. they tried to infuse a lot of sub-topics on the other girls, but as a viewer, i felt that they left you wanting to see more of samantha, miranda and charlotte, coz ultimate focus of course was still given to carrie's all too old "big" issue. they added a new character, louise, who should've given the movie a fresh view but the movie's take on love was on the its cheesier side. the outfits were totally outrageous and their capitalist placement of the ads and its whole approach on this put the girls at mercy of these commodities rather than what they've shown in the series that ladies have the power to decide whatever they wanted for themselves. overall, it was a big letdown... just good to while away mindless nights.
