Sex and The City 2

It's Hilarious! I just watched this movie (with Russian dubbed). Sex and The City is an American TV show that brought into the wide screen. It is a story of friendship between four women, Carrie Bradshaw, Charlotte York Goldenblatt, Miranda Hobbs and Samantha Jones.

The story begins when Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) had a flashback of how she first met her best friends Samantha (Kim Cattrall), Charlotte (Kristin Davis) and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) in the middle 1980 in NYC. Then the story jumps in the present, two years after the marriage of Carrie and Mr. Big / John James  Preston (Chris Noth). At the Connecticut, held a gay wedding of Standford Blatch (Willie Garson) and Anthony Marentino (Mario Cantone). Liza Minelli appears in cameo to officiate the wedding vow and afterwards presenting a song Single Ladies (Beyonce).

The four friends now have lives that are more stressful than before: All married except for Samantha, who is trying to keep her libido alive with hormones while dealing with menopause; Charlotte is worried that Harry is attracted to the nanny, which appeared Lesbian at the end of movie; while Carrie facing a problem in her marriage, while Mr. Big would prefer to stay at home with his television. 

Meanwhile, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda run up against a culture clash in the Middle East, as their style and attitudes contrast with Muslim society, but none more than Samantha, whose antics anger the sheik enough to force a premature return to the United States after he stops paying the bills. After a few mishaps they do arrive safely in the USA, where Carrie sits alone, miserable in the appartment, Big nowhere to be seen. He does eventually return and presents her with the punishment he intended for her - a diamond ring, to always remind her she is married.

The movie ends with a few scenes from their everyday lives, how Big and Carrie combine their interests, how Charlotte every now and again takes a few days for herself, how Miranda found a new job where they appreciate her, and how Samantha stayed exactly the same.

Mr. Nobody

Today, I just watched this movie. Mr. Nobody. If you already watched 'The Butterfly's Effect', then in my opinion this science fiction movies, directed by Jaco Van Dormael gave you the more taste of the butterfly's effect. The movie starred by Jared Leto, Diane Kruger and Sarah Polley.

Jared Leto as the main actor has once again showed his talent in acting. The story took year in 2092. In that year, a time when Mars is a vacation spot, Nemo Nobody is a 118-year-old man who is the last mortal among humans who have become immortal due to scientific advances involving the perpetual rejuvenation of telomeres. When Nemo is on his deathbed, he reviews the three possible existences and marriages he might have experienced, with Anna (Diane Kruger), the daughter of his mother's lover; the latter is upset after Nemo has sex with the man's daughter, Nemo's "sister"); Elise (Sarah Polly) with mood swings) and Jean (Linh Danh Pham), with up to three children. References to the big bang theory, the nature of time, super-string theory, memory, help structure the plot.

This movie also spoils you with the great visual effects, which were produced by Modus FX, Fly Studio and Rodeo FX in Montreal and Digital Graphics in Belgium. Mr. Nobody was first presented at the 66th Venice International Film Festival and the Osella for Best Production Designer went to Sylvie OlivĂ©In September, Mr. Nobody was screened at the Toronto International Film Festival and was received positively.
