Suburban Girl (2007) Review
A Manhattanite book editor Brett (Gellar) finds her take on the game of romance changed after she lures the attention of an influential older man, Archie (Baldwin). This romantic comedy has more to it than first meets the eye.
The Smurfs (2011) Poster
The first poster has been released for the new Smurfs film which is going to be coming out next year.
The Rebound (2009) Review
This film seems to have sat on the shelf for some time now and I am very happy to say it eventually was released a week ago in the UK. I am a massive fan of Catherine Zeta Jones and thought this role looked totally different to what we are used to from her.
Remember Me (2010) Review
A romantic drama centered on two new lovers: Tyler (Robert Pattinson), whose parents have split in the wake of his brother’s suicide, and Ally (Emilie de Ravin), who lives each day to the fullest since witnessing her mother’s murder. A film focused on many different types of relationships and how important they are in everyday life.

Sex and the City 2 (2010) Trailer
I cannot believe that I have been slipping so much over the holiday period to actually miss the first trailer which has been released for SATC2. Not really much shown in the trailer expect for some of the outfit’s and nice shots of Manhattan. But as you may already know I am a massive SATC fan so anything thats released for the movie is very good in my world. So here is the trailer:

Elf (2003) Review
A Christmas time comedy, which is actually really funny . . . but has plenty of Christmas Spirit reminding us the whole point of this holiday. We follow Buddy the Elf who is actually human, on a quest to find his real father, who just happens to live in New York City.
Enchanted (2007) Review
What would happen if a Disney fairytale of Prince and Princess finding each other and living happily ever after, ended up in Manhattan, New York City . . . well we find out in Enchanted. Giselle (Amy Adams) just finds her Prince, Edward (James Marsden) in typical Disney fashion they are about to get married. But a wicked old woman pushes Giselle into a well, and she is transported to NYC.
Sex and the City: The Movie (2008) Review
SATC is my favorite EVER TV Show. I have seen every episode so many times, have the shoebox box set of the whole series. So when they announced that the movie was going to made. I was so happy about it, I even went to see it twice in the cinema when it first came out last year. Then when I went to NYC last year I was in heaven in the HBO shop buying lots of SATC merchandise.

I also went up the Empire State Building as it was a lovely day (plus I love that because of An Affair to Remember).
Also took random pictures of shops because of SATC haha.
