I was never a Kardashian “fan”, but I used to watch their shows up until a few months ago when they became too boring and pointless. Their “reality shows” just started appearing obviously scripted. I used to watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Khloe and Lamar, and Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami, Kourtney and Kim Take New York, mainly for the fashion. No one can deny that those girls have style, and they definitely look glamorous and put together most of the time.

Considering I was never really a Kardashian fan, I can understand the temptation to sign “Boycott Kim” petitions and blast them on every single gossip site. I can understand the urge to call them attention whores, phony, and desperate. It was painful and ridiculous to watch Kris Jenner suggesting that she change her last name back to Kardashian (her deceased ex-husband’s name) for branding purposes. Check out the video below if you haven’t seen it. Nevermind that she has been married to Bruce Jenner for  two decades and she would be switching from his last name to go back to her ex husband’s name. It was also irritating to see Kim crying and being extra dramatic over some diamond earrings that she could probably easily replace with a phone call. So yes, I agree that the Kardashians seem superficial, whiny, and extremely thirsty for exposure. I get it. But the way people talk about them is just disturbing. [Read more...]

Before going to the movies to experience the “friendship, fashion, sex” and whatever else was on the advertisements – I heard mixed reviews. People were saying everything from it was simply a bad movie to they loved it. Before I go on about my opinion of the movie, I will say that I have not watched the show. Other than watching a couple reruns here and there, I have barely even seen the show. My opinion may be skewed from die hard SATC fans, so please keep that in mind. Ok, now that that’s out of the way, here’s my take on SATC2. Warning: the following contains movie details. If you have yet to see the movie, you have been warned!

This movie had plenty of funny parts. The whole scenario of overly sexual Samantha being in the United Arab Emirates was enough to make anyone crack a smile. Charlotte and Miranda’s heart to heart at the hotel was pretty funny too. And, I absolutely loved the scene where they had to check out of the hotel in less than an hour!

However, there were a some parts that were a little underwhelming. For example, I don’t think that there should have been such a fuss about Carrie simply kissing Aidan. Yes, she technically cheated, but wouldn’t it have been juicer if Carrie and Aidan  had actually slept together, and Big had responded with a little more than the silent treatment for a few days and a huge diamond wedding ring as her punishment? I just thought they put way to much importance on the kiss for this movie to be partially categorized as a drama.

Also, the gay wedding scene was pretty lame. It really didn’t seem relevant to the rest of the movie besides a few quotes that came up later in the movie. Plus, I was a little less than impressed with Liza Minnelli’s rendition of “Single Ladies”. I personally wasn’t entertained, but hey. To each her own.

I tweeted yesterday, that I like SATC2 better than the first movie, but after writing about it and actually thinking about it, I have to take back that statement. I cannot even think of the climax of the movie, and if it was Carrie kissing Aidan – that was one weak climax. I liked the movie, and I don’t understand some of the reviews saying that SATC2 was absolutely boring, but I can understand some people’s disappointed. 3 out of 4 main characters are married now. If the show was based on the life of 4 single women, of course the dynamic of their lives and the movies will change. Nevertheless, one thing that was fabulous as expected was the fashion. Some of the outfits had me and my bff saying “wth are they wearing?” But for the most part, the clothes were extra glamorous as usual. Overall, I give the movie a B-.
