Catching up

I've been interviewing in the last few weeks, so I haven't had much time for updating the site. I had an entire review for The Devil Wears Prada written in my head, and you're going to have to trust me that it was brilliant, because you aren't likely to see it written here. Short take is that I didn't like the way it toned down the pure evil of Miranda Priestley's character from the novel, but I'm happy that it made tons of money so that critics will stop using "chick flick" as an insult.

I also saw Pirates of the Caribbean along with the rest of America this weekend, and I was pleasantly surprised. The movie takes a while to get rolling (no pun, well, maybe some pun intended) but the last hour was completely enjoyable. I liked that so many of the characters from the first were brought back (especially the one who appears at the end), and I'll definitely be in line for the third one.
