  • You’ve got to admire their balls: a big, star-packed chick flick, and not a single male on screen (well, there is one, but you will have to wait for him to appear). It’s happened before. read more »

    Best chick flick this year bar sex and the city

    This was a wonderful remake of the 1939 classic. And as in the original you never see one man in the movies - though they seem to be the main subject. If you like sex and the city and intelligent lively rom coms then this is for you. It boasts a great cast with some famous cameos. Bette Midler please stand up. Some tear jerking moments about friendship between women and the adorable debra messing scene stealing as the pregnant friend. The birth scene will bring back a few memories. Well worth a watch.

    Even Women would sleep at this Movie

    If you were going to make a film about women it should at least be about women who are exciting or have achieved something great. These women are just plain old boring high society gals who sit around and do nothing but complain and gossip......and thats it!! As a man I refuse to believe this is all women do - we live in the day where it is apparently great to be a women but it wasn't emphasised in this film. It's disappointing that you have such a great cast but yet the film doesn't live up to much, it doesn't really tackle anything or any issues. Annette Bening, Debra Messing, Meg Ryan, and Jada Pinkett are all talented actresses and could have made this film a lot more than it really is. The film isn't funny nor heartfelt - its pretty much a snooze and even women would fall asleep at this.

    Ungaro bosses back Lohan

    • 21 Nov 2009

    Officials at Emanuel Ungaro have dismissed rumours they are set to drop Lindsay Lohan as a creative consultant following her widely-panned catwalk contribution in September (09). The Mean Girls star showed off her style sense by designing a line for the Parisian fashion house, but her creations were mauled by the critics, with style bible Women's Wear Daily calling the collection "an embarrassment." The company's founder Emanuel Ungaro, who is no longer involved with the firm, also criticised... Read more
