Tale of 2 movies

Saw two movies in a theatre which is so unusual! I used to go out almost every weekend to see something. Course had pals that liked the same. Sign of ageing? Anyhoo, made it to "SATC2" this on Tuesday with Mrs. A and then Sat. night saw "A-Team" with W. Now she lives closer easier to get her out. Didn't have high expectations for either really, had other reasons to go and unexpectedly enjoyed both.

SATC2 - sort of required viewing and good excuse for dinner & drinks with Mrs. A and catching up. Plus took next day off work, good break. Reviews are awful and deservedly so, though did have some nice moments. Enjoyed the show, which I realized was more for themes and writing. Last movie was a Louis Vuitton commercial, I love my LV, though not that much. Character of Carrie (SJP), I do find a little annoying and immature, though she did sort of grow up a bit in this one. Of course Char, Miranda and Samantha are fun in their own ways. Unrealistic of course and that's the point. Though have hard time believing that supposedly successful businesswoman like Samantha would behave so badly on trip paid by potential client. Fashion a little over the top, but it was eye candy. I am supportive of the idea of a gay wedding and of course Liza, couldn't they done better for the 2 main supporting characters who happen to be gay ? Almost an insult to the show story, they were friendly and very different, just cause they were the only 2 featured doesn't mean they must belong together.

A-Team - was intrigued by previews and decided wanted to see it. Watched some of the original show but wasn't die hard fan. I'll admit this was an eye candy selection also, the fabulous Mr. Neeson and adorable Mr. Cooper. My pal, W was swooning within the first ten minutes. I'm not always the biggest action fan, however this was fun. Movie didn't promise more than that and delivered. Also adorably comedic fun, Patrick Wilson and Brian Bloom (yes 80's teen soap actor who has writing credit?). Didn't know the other 2 main actors, Rampage and Sharlto Copley, very fun also. And a great cameo in the end, yummers. Stunts were ridiculous, it kept it's humor throughout and of course set up for sequels. Not award worthy, however for fun distraction it was perfect.
