THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA REVIEW

The beginning ten minutes of The Devil Wears Prada sets the scene for the rest of the movie. The opening scenes of high class working women rushing to get dressed gives the audience some idea that the movie takes place in a city and possibly a well- known company. Anne Hathaway's character is portrayed as the complete opposite of these working class women. The producers of this movie show you this so that when she arrives at Runway magazine you assume she has no chance at the job. She seems under dressed, not prepared, and like she doesn't belong at a high end fashion magazine company like Runway. Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt are were casted perfectly for their roles in this movie. Meryl Streep really captures the audience and leaves you curious as to what impossible task she will have Anne Hathaway perform next. This movie is exciting and hilarious and defiantly worth going to see.

The movie I chose to write my movie review on is the movie 50 First Dates. Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore star in this romantic comedy. In the movie Drew Barrymore's character is a middle aged women who was involved in a horrific car accident that eventually causes her to suffer from short-term memory loss. Adam Sandler (Henry) plays the role of someone who is single, lives in paradise, and spends every night with a different woman. He eventually runs into Drew Barrymore (Lucy) at this small breakfast place one morning and decides to pursue his feelings for her. He eventually finds out that he suffers from short term memory loss. This doesn't stop Henry from trying to get her to fall in love with him even though everyday it starts over as if they had never met before.

I chose take a look at Beth's English Portfolio and comment on it http://bethsenglishportfolio.weebly.com/index.html. Beth's portfolio was very well set up and easy to navigate. Everything was separated at the top into the six different categories of the Home page, Biography, Blog Entries, In- class writing, Literacy Narrative Project and the Culture Society and Me project (making it easy to find what you were looking for). My favorite part about Beth's portfolio was reading her biography I was able to learn a lot about her and her family that otherwise I would not have known. I thought the pictures really accented her portfolio and tied it all together. The only thing I would have changed about her portfolio would have been to add a description of what blog entries, in -class writings etc. were about and why they were important to the website. Overall I think Beth did a great job on her midterm portfolio and I am excited to see what she creates for her final portfolio.
