The Devil wears Prada - I was besotted watching Anne Hathaway repeatedly over a weekend, brought down by Señora, who paraphrased her name to 'annaathéy' to irk me. Three ladies, Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt anchor the movie. It is around MS, who runs a powerful fashion mag in a dictatoresque fashion, and her two assistants [EB, AH] and the dynamics surrounding them. Loved some of the dresses AH wears, especially when she first walks into her office dressed stylishly in a Calvin Klein, Chanel and Jimmy Choo and also her million watt smile. Loved the flow of the movie and its characters. The Devil wears an Attitude with a capital A!
Love Happens - Watched it thinking Jennifer Aniston will redeem the movie, if not anything. Pfft!, no vibes between JA and Aaron Eckhart, weak story and flat performance. The movie never had life anywhere except for a flash or two. Love (never) happens!
An Education - I thought the movie starred Emma Watson (Hermione of Harry Potter fame) and was awaiting her throughout the movie. And she didn't, till the end. Because I misread Emma Thompson as Emma Watson. :-( Movie is a "coming of age" story of a British schooling teenager (Carey Mulligan) who falls for a married man unknowingly and then recovers when she finds out. Good in spurts. An education, it was, for me to read the cast names properly!

Wow I am totally impressed. You can spot a Calvin Klein, Chanel and Jimmy Choo from afar ???? Wow ! Double wow !!
Maybe practice of buying such stuff for Senora has made you perfect .......
Whoa.. ! after declining ur comments and the terror that followed , I somehow found it uncomfortable to talk abt this movie...
If its not for u , I wudnt have watched the Movie.Found the time and the channel somehow.. and the laptop lipstick didnt happen for more than a second... U deserve the title "observations... " for ur blog :)
Wat a movie , indeed ! but I need clarifications towards the end.MS was aware that her assistant was in trouble, OK . but wat was she trading to save herself ? I m not sure if she even saved herself.. Plz..

@Ramesh - Ayyayyo! appadiyellaam illai. The scene just before AH comes in those dresses and footwear, has a conversation where one character picks up a dress, tells its designer name and then hands it over to her. Where else would I have this knowledge otherwise? :-)
@R-ambam - Maybe that was just an observation at the right time. Otherwise, may have forgotten that blink-of-an-eye scene.
At least my understanding is that MS plays a one-up on her rival (as there is a plot to get her replaced) by moving her rival out as the creative director of another famous fashion designer in place of her designer chief who was originally slated for that.
@G3 - Señora sees the blog at random. Uh Oh! idea kuduththitteenga. She saw this and said it is a good idea to get me off blogging. :-(
Oh, I was just awaiting Emma W's entry almost till the end wondering if she will enter as the heroine's friend, guide or whatever. No other reason!!! (avvalo periya smiley potturukkeengaley :-D)

@zeno - Don't read in between the lines. :( It was a general open compliment to AH and the director for a visual 'transformation' in AH's appearance. :)
