SEX IN THE CITY 2----LOVED IT!!!

Looking for a good movie this weekend? Treat yourself to a frothy romp in" Sex And The City 2".Yes, it's a "chick flick"--- but your other choices are "Ironman" or "Shrek". So grab a chick and go for a fun time in Abu Ghadi. It's filled with gorgeous clothes, exotic sets, witty dialogue, pretty women, and the men aren't bad either. What I loved most was the unabashed , wicked humor of the women as they clashed with the men of Abu Ghadi and their stifling culture toward women ---Kim Catrell, who plays Samantha in the movie, was hilariously and politically incorrect (OMG) as she physically fought with the men in a street brawl---she won and declared her victory in a well, shall we say---most finger pointing way. It was refreshing to see a movie that wasn't so uptight about itself , wasn't trying to send a subtle political message, and was just plain, outrageously, over the top funny, visually exotic and beautiful, even poignant at times. And, oh yes, the title lives up to its name---there was a bit of that in the movie too, so if that offends you, better not go---because "Sex in the City 2" sizzles with a saucy nod and a flirty wink. But you'll be missing a good time and a chance to be "crazy in Abu Ghadi".

If you haven't guessed by now, I love going to the movies---yes, I said "going". Sitting in your cozy home watching a DVD is nice and private, but just doesn't have the same, in your face, appeal.The community experience of laughing and sometime weeping is part of the fun, and the popcorn is----oh yeah, sinfully, fatfully the best!! The only thing I don't like are the teens who still don't get that "Please turn off your cell phones" includes NOT TEXTING, as well!!! Am I getting old, or does anybody else get just a tad irritated with this habit? Not only does it irritate me in the movies, but I find it insulting to be talking to someone who is texting while attempting to carry on a conversation with me---excuse me, but I'm right here in person. Should I call you instead? Then we could both be texting at the same time to each other---groovy! Of course, the latest thing is the Iphone, so things are only to get worse, as direct eye to eye social communication will become even less attractive than all the buttons that can connect the user to practically the whole world .I read that young people are going to lose the ability to read actual, live body language as they interact with others, due to the fact that they are interacting mostly with their buttons and voices! Maybe that's why I still love the simple pleasure of going to the movies---no electronics needed, just your eyes, ears, mind, and soul---lights out, phones off----pass the popcorn!!
