Sex and the City: The Movie



There is only one thing that gets me as excited as moving sidewalks, and that is movie trailers. Movie trailers make or break the box office. Good movies are ruined by bad trailers that give too much away, and horrible movies are saved by exciting previews (remember Evan Almighty?) So, I dedicate my first blog to my first love, the silver screen!

To kick off my blog, here is the trailer to the movie that will kick off the summer blockbuster season! I am so excited about this movie. I have been waiting for it since I saw my first episode on DVD. (I was a little behind on the hysteria because I didn't have HBO growing up!)

Sex and the City: The Movie has a scheduled release date of May 30, 2008. The series ended with Charlotte and Miranda married, Samantha with Smith and Carrie with John, a.k.a. Mr. Big.

The plot of the movie is a big secret, although filming in Manhattan has certainly taken its toll on the secrecy of the plot. I have seen pictures of Carrie in a wedding gown and Charlotte pregnant, although, people have said those were just dream sequences. I certainly hope not! I don't want a good movie ruined by a cheesy dream sequence.

I have tried to avoid any news about the movie because I want everything to be a complete surprise. More than anything, I can't wait to see what Patricia Field has in store for the girls! I was surprised she didn't win the Oscar for dressing the Devil Wears Prada. Without even seeing a second of her choices for this movie, I can guarantee an Oscar for her next year.

PREDICTIONS FOR THE MOVIE:
Here are my predictions for this film. I believe Samantha and Smith are going to breakup. One of the couples has to. Charlotte and Miranda both have children, so breaking up the marriage would be to complicated for one movie with four different storylines. And Carrie and Big aren't serious enough to go through a serious breakup.

Jennifer Hudson is being introduced into the mix as Carrie's personal assistant. So the question is, where is Carrie getting the money to have an assistant? She has always had money problems and spent too much on shoes, so that means the assistant comes from one of two sources...Big or she has a new job. I think Carrie is going to be hired to write a new book, and that is where Hudson comes into play.

Also, my big prediction, somebody will die. The studio has to do something big to separate it from the television show. It won't be any of the four women, viewers would be to upset. I think it will either be Mr. Big, Smith or, my leading candidate, Stanford!

Regardless of what happens, I cannot wait to see the film! I already have my Jimmy Choos and martinis ready for opening weekend!
