- Directed by David Frankel
- Starring Meryl Streep, Anna Hathaway
- This movie tells an inside story about the fashion world, which is sure to be a top hit among fashion-conscious female audiences and gays but may be boring for straight men. Anne Hathaway plays a freshly-graduated girl who gets a job as assistant to a wicked, bitchy yet glamorous and charming fashion magazine editor played by Streep. The movie is amusing, enjoyable and fun, due mainly to the sensational performance of Streep. Without her, the movie may be a failure. She deserves an Oscar for this.
- Directed by Oliver Stone
- Starring Nicholas Cage, Michael Pena, Maria Bello, Maggie Gyllenhaal
- In a surprising move for a movie about gigantic events like 9/11, Oliver Stone based this movie on a character study of the two protagonists and their families, rather than the actual event itself. This would have been fine if the drama was good, but here they are as boring and predictable as the soap operas you see on Thai TV, possibly even worse. At times, the movie looks like a Hallmark series rather than the grand epic it probably wants to be. The actings aren't bad. Cage did an admiring job, seeing that we only see his half-buried face (darkly lit too) for most of the movie, but the conflicts the characters find themselves in are so mundane and cliche that I want to scream "I don't care!!". As a result, the movie is neither successful as a movie about 9/11 nor about the human spirit. See United 93 for a much more intense example of a 9/11 movie, all done with no A-list stars around. On a side note, can anyone tell me why the heck is this movie called "World Trade Center"? -Comment written by Dear-

- The movie is cute and warm, and the music academy setting contributes in creating a romantic and stylized atmosphere. The general idea that the movie tries to convey is also familiar and even occasionally inspiring. However, in execution, the weak script lets down most of these ideas. It also doesn't help that the editing makes the movie feel like a series of short seperate stories. As a result, the movie lacks focus and unity. It's not that it's bad, but this movie could have been much better. -Comment written by Dear-
