Sex and the City (2008)
Loved it
I know many people didn't like this film because they felt many things were out of character for the fearsome foursome, but for me, I finally felt like all the characters were finally fleshed out and given a dose of reality. I'll admit it, while I watched the series, I could never identify with any of the women in it. All I ever saw were 4 stereotypical mannequins, dressed in designer clothes, bitching about man problems that didn't seem like such a big deal in real life. I had no sympathy for any of the characters in the series. But the movie, oh the movie. I was in tears for so much of it. Finally, the characters were real! Carrie actually had emotion towards Big, Miranda and Steve have real problems. Samantha wasn't happily ever after as the series lead us to believe. Even Charlotte wasn't perfect (and seriously, that was the only part of the movie I didn't like, you all know what I'm talking about if you've seen it). While there were still the pointless clothing montages and fashion shows that did nothing to further the plot line, I thought it was an excellent movie to finish off the series.
Babes in Toyland (1961)
Thoroughly delightful movie
This is one of my favorite Disney live-action movies. I can remember watching this movie every winter. I would always dance and sing along to it. I have never seen any of the other versions of Babes in Toyland, so I don't know if it is better or worse, but I think this version is just delightful. I was lucky enough to find a copy of it years ago so that I now have my own personal copy. I don't understand how people can't like this movie. Yes, it is geared towards small children and the effects are atrocious, but it's Disney in the 60's and they were much more cutting edge then than they are now. And while I personally think Annette Funicello is a dreadful actress, the rest of the cast delightfully makes up for it.
