Will Carrie Bradshaw tie the knot? Will it be with Mr. Big?

The movie will be release in USA on 30 May 2008. Will this movie compete with the other summer blockbuster movies 2008? Well, one thing for sure, Sex in The City has a whole wide fan based in the world. Successful novel based series fans will wait for this.

Do u miss romance comedy ? Well.. I do miss it. After The Devil Wears Prada, I haven’t seen any romance comedy hit the theater. But in this January 2008, you will see another romance comedy. The title is 27 Dresses. Katherine Heigl (Knocked Up), James Marsden (Enchanted, X-Men Trilogy), and Ed Burns (The Holiday) are among the casts.

The story is about a girl name Jane who is idealistic, romantic and completely selfless. She always be a bridesmaid, and a very good 27 times bridesmaid. Always taking care of her friends but never really taking care of her own relationship. When her sister captured her boss (whom she secretly in love with), she begins to examine her always-to-be-bridesmaid lifestyle.

Another sappy romance I guess, but the girls will enjoy it since they have “dresses” in the title. Definitely not men’s movie. 27 Dresses is directed by Anne Fletcher, the director of Step Up, and choreographer on Catch Me If You Can and The 40 Year Old Virgin.

Epic-genre version of Scary Movie now has a sequel. First entitled Epic Movie, the sequel, due to the poor review of the previous series, changed the franchise title into Meet the Spartans. Parodying many movies, this movie still take focus on muscle men of Spartan’s 300.

Other than that, Meet the Spartans makes joke to dozen of movies, TV series, and bunch of celebrities. On the list, even not yet released movie, Cloverfield. Of course, when you look again to the title, it resembles Ben Stiller’s Meet the Parents. Also you may want to see the parody version of American Idol last season controversy, Sanjaya Malakar.

Among the starring, we can see the “performance” of Baywatch babe, Carmen Electra. Don’t forget that she once appeared in first series of Scary Movie as cameo. Hopefully, she does not show up just as an eye candy, as we expect this movie not as corny as we usually predicted.
