It’s strange that Paper Man is just now getting a theatrical trailer, considering it made the festival rounds mid-last year. Few have probably heard of the film, including myself, which is a shame. Jeff Daniels, Ryan Reynolds (in tights!), Emma Stone and Lisa Kudrow make for a lovely indie cast. I suppose Reynold’s turn as Captain Excellent was the formative experience needed to land the Green Lantern gig. From the trailer, Paper Man looks a lovely, charming film.
The spoiled, middle-aged mistresses are back (and probably much to Tim’s displeasure). Sex and the City 2 hopes to capture the same commercial exploitation of the HBO series the first film achieved back in 2008. While the original movie had reasonable footing in its trip to the big screen (i.e., concluding the storyline in some fantastic fashion), this sequel seems wholly unnecessary.
More than four years after Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha downed their last cosmo and faded into the history of successful HBO series, comes the eagerly awaited big-screen adaptation that for many will be the movie event of the year. Fans of the show will gorge themselves on two-and-half hours of designers, drama, drinks and divas, while newcomers will discover a chick flick that makes relatives of the genre seem positively masculine. Despite fashion and couture to the contrary, Sex and the City is really only about one label, love, and all the imperfections and textures that accompany this sought-after garment. Guys, proceed to hurl. Girls, proceed to swoon.
