Ladies, we’ve waited four long years for the Sex and the City movie and it’s coming out in less then a month. As just as the four fabulous Manhattanites would, we need to make the premiere an occasion to remember. Bring on the couture and cosmos!!

1. Like all good parties, you need to get the word out to your girlfriends and get them pumped up about the movie. I suggest sending them the Sex and the City countdown widget to post on their facebook account.

2. Send elegant invitations for the your Sex and The City premiere event. Think Natasha’s Influential Ladies Luncheon. When you’re a Manhattan socialite evites just won’t do. Carrie didn’t even get e-mail until season 4. What she lacked in computer savvy, she made up in style, so I guess she’s forgiven. Taking the time to purchase, make, and send invitations lends a sense of elegance and exclusivity to your event.

These are some examples of some invitations ideas. Pick invitations that reflect your own personal style.
From top to bottom 1) $16.00 for 10 at Papyrus. 2 & 3) $1.25 each at paperbuzz.com. Make sure to let your guests know that cocktail attire is required and to get ready for a night on the town including dinner, drinks, and then… the movie! Pick a location where you can easily go from dinner to the movie without too much travel. The best option is to pick a shopping complex with restaurants, bars, and a megaplex movie theater so you have lots of options on where to eat and bar hop before the movie.

3. Have the girls over for “Sex and the City” night to catch up on episodes and the “story thus far.” If you only have a few hours or have a few SATC virgins, I suggest starting at Season 6 part 1. No, they won’t have the back story on Big and Aidan, but you can give them a quick run down. Once their hooked, you can offer to lend them the DVD set.

Set out some brie and crackers. Don’t forget the wine , champagne, and pretty pink cocktails.

4. GO SHOPPING! Every starlet needs a new dress for a premiere. Going to see the SATC movie is no different. Take fashion inspiration from Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha. Everyone has their favorite style icon and this is a great excuse to take some chances with style!

Also, don’t forget about the shoes. According to Carrie, the higher the better! Now may be the time to invest in some Manolos…

5. Have a great girls night out Sex and the City Style! Gather all your RSVP’d pals and head out. Don’t forget to make reservations at the restaurant before hand so you don’t have a big group of hungry girls standing around in cute party dresses. Samantha won’t wait for a table at even the hottest new restaurant and neither should you! I would also suggest you buy tickets either online the day before or head to the movie theater to pick up tickets just to make sure you get your ideal movie time.

Most of all, have fun with your girlfriends. Sex and the City is all about four best friends that are there for each other through the ups and downs. Take this time to celebrate the close friendships in your life. Enjoy!

With the opening of her new movie, What Happens in Vegas, I think it is deserving to go back and reminisce about Cameron Diaz’s funniest movie roles. And yes, she has been in a lot more movies than these, but these are six of her movies I think are the funniest. If you respectfully disagree, then I will understand, but why not read the list now since you’re here!?

In 1994, Cameron burst on the scene playing buxom blonde, Tina Carlyle, in The Mask. This has to be one of her best/over the top entrances in any of her movies.

Granted it was in the ‘90s but I still think she looks amazing. And with Jim Carrey playing the lead, she kept up with his humor and carried her part very well!

A few years later, Cameron played Kimberly Wallace in the 1997 hit, My Best Friend’s Wedding. She was the woman we all were rooting against, but at the same time we couldn’t stop liking her— especially when she sang horrible karaoke. And she played that prissy-but-innocent-yet-snobby character so well it cracked me up!

Then in 1998 she starred in a little movie called There’s Something About Mary. She played Ben Stiller’s high school love Mary Jensen. There are so many funny parts from this movie I can’t pick just one! But I’m pretty sure that everyone can remember their favorite parts from it (the hair gel scene!?!). I think it was in this film that everyone started to take notice of Cameron’s comedic chops.

Cameron then played Natalie Cook in the two Charlie’s Angels movies. Yet again, Cameron showed her funny side, but this time she also kicked some serious butt. Along with Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu, these movies were a refreshing twist on the 70s sitcom.

A change of pace was seen by Cameron in the next slue of movies she starred in. This time around, it was her voice that did the acting. She played Princess Fiona in the Shrek movies. There have been three movies out so far from this franchise with a fourth slotted to come out in 2010. Not only was Cameron hilarious in these movies, but with such great writing, all the characters turned out to be gut-busting. For me, it definitely gave a new spin to all of my favorite childhood fairytales.

The Sweetest Thing is the next funny movie Cameron starred in, alongside Christina Applegate. She played lovelorn Christina Walters, who after finding the man of her dreams, found out he was only visiting in town and had left. So the girls go on a road trip to find the ‘Mr. Right’ and their travels are filled with enough slapstick comedy and dirty jokes to make anyone blush. I have to admit I think this movie is one of her most underrated comedies, but ya can’t win ‘em all I guess!

Now we come to Cameron’s latest undertaking, What Happens in Vegas. She plays Joy McNally, who goes to Vegas after she got dumped. She is starring alongside goofball Aston Kutcher; and, I have already heard people saying this will be the comedic hit of the summer. I obviously don’t know any specific details about the movie, but it comes out in theaters tomorrow so now is your chance to check it out for yourself!

Get prepared to laugh when it hits big screens by watching the trailer below!

Heath Ledger’s last complete role now includes an action figure.

He plays The Joker in the upcoming movie, The Dark Knight, which some are starting to speculate is an Oscar worthy last performance.

But the movie isn’t out yet and already everything connected to Ledger and the film are selling quickly. Toy stores in New York City are selling out of an action hero figurine of the late Australian actor as the evil villain.

People are even lining up early at the stores to be the first to buy them– and they are even buying them in bulk!

Trying to downplay the Joker sellout, Bob Friedland, a Toys ‘R’ Us spokesman said, “We are getting these products, all of the Dark Knight action figures, on a regular basis.”

But from what news in circulating, these dolls are not going to be  just sitting on the shelves collecting dust. Even though they are priced at $9.99, many buyers are making at least five times their profit by selling the figures for as much as $55.00 on eBay.

If this is any indication of how the movie will do in theaters, I think Warner Brothers should be happy! I mean, not to be supporting the profiting off a recently deceased actor or anything, but it’s Hollywood.

What else is new!?

At just 28, Christina Ricci, has managed to make her mark in the entertainment industry as the dark and troubled female, a role, which she freely admits, is not far from her own life. Having battled with the typical Hollywood ills of familial disputes and subsequent estrangements, anorexia, alcoholism and maybe not so typical self-mutilation, the woman states she’s ready for a change.

‘Kids don’t know who I am, so their first impression of me will be Trixie. It’s a very different impression [from Wednesday Addams, her peers' first impression of her]. And as they grow up they won’t be talking about me as kooky and weird for the rest of my career,’ she says laughing. ‘It’s like reintroducing yourself in a totally new incarnation.’

The fact that Ricci’s character, Trixie Fontaine, handles a pink helicopter might provide a bit of insight as to why Ricci felt uneasy about even auditioning. The upcoming film is definitely a far cry from Ricci’s previous films and proved to be a challenge for her from the beginning. Despite her own insecurities about the role, something about her obviously caught casting’s eye. Maybe it is the insanely striking resemblance between Ricci and Trixie. I mean really—Ricci is the spitting image of the anime cartoon character, which is apparently something she has been told for ages.

‘What’s really funny is that people for years had been saying to me, “You know, they’re going to make a Speed Racer movie and you should totally play Trixie.” And I do look a little bit anime when I have dark hair with my white skin.’

The best part of the filming the movie for Ricci seems to have been her participation in several fighting sequences. Ricci raves about the action, which at one point got her so excited, that the girl was upchucking between driving scenes. You can check out the trailer below and see if it or Ricci’s new look entices you enough to make it out to your nearby theater this weekend when it debuts on May 9^th. How do you think either will fare?

The Marvel Comics adaptation, starring Robert Downey Jr. as the Iron Man himself, hauled in $100.7 million over opening weekend and $104.2 million since debuting Thursday night, the second-best premiere ever for a non-sequel, according to studio estimates Sunday.

The film also scored overseas with $96.7 million in 57 countries where it began opening Wednesday, putting its worldwide total at $201 million.

But the good always comes with the bad. This weekend was down nearly 13% from the same weekend in 2007, when “Spider-Man 3” kicked off the summer with $151.1 weekend gross, the highest on record, according to Media by Numbers.

I guess it could be worse, if I were the studios and movie execs I would take what I can get and be happy with it. Plus, Iron Man is the first title out of the gate produced by Marvel, and it will be followed later this summer by The Hulk, which Universal is releasing.

Teenage boys everywhere– rejoice I say, rejoice!

With so many rave reviews from many critics already, Iron Man features Downey as billionaire arms designer Tony Stark, who builds a high-tech suit and becomes a superhero. He changes his self-absorbed ways after he’s taken captive and sees firsthand the devastation his weapons cause.

This film is directed by Jon Favreau, and also stars Gwyneth Paltrow, Jeff Bridges and Terrence Howard. But I must say I was extremely pleased with Robert Downey Jr. and his performance in Iron Man. He really needed a strong comeback movie and I’m sure this will suffice.

If you haven’t seen a trailer for this movie already, you seriously must live under a rock.

Go watch one, NOW!

It’s worth it.

Connor Cruise, the 13-year-old adopted son of Tom Cruise and his ex-wife Nicole Kidman, is already taking a stab at an acting career.Connor has a minor, non-speaking part in the upcoming Will Smith drama “Seven Pounds,” a spokesman for Columbia Pictures confirmed Tuesday. He shot his part, over two days, more than a month ago, playing Smith as a young man and mostly shown in photographs. Even with such famous acting mentors in his corner, Connor had to audition for the part. So since his famous mom and dad didn’t have anything to do with him getting the part it means he must be talented, right? I sure hope so.

“Tom is so proud of Connor,” says a source. “He’s proud of him for really doing this on his own.”

The movie, which is still in production, co-stars Rosario Dawson and is directed by “The Pursuit of Happyness” filmmaker Gabriele Muccino. The drama follows the story of a man who affects the lives of seven strangers.Even though this is really cute, I like the father-son team of Will and Jaden Smith more. Am I alone in this opinion? Help me out here, people!

Sarah Marshall comes to Hollywood! Kristen Bell, Jason Segel, Seth Rogan, Jonah Hill, and others were on hand for the world premiere of Forgetting Sarah Marshall at Grauman’s Chinese Theater in Hollywood, CA Wednesday night.Also in attendance was Alyson Hannigan and Neil Patrick Harris, both there in support of their How I Met Your Mother co-star, Jason Segel. Train-wreck Andy Dick downgraded the red carpet with his mere presence; but, it was Sarah Marshall herself–Kristen Bell–who arrived in a sky blue Hawaiian themed dress, that radiated beauty and perfection.Forgetting Sarah Marshall is the latest film from the Apatow Gang and much like his other films, boasts a large amount of gross-out humor, male nudity, and a solid storyline which delivers a heavy emotional punch. Judd Apatow (40 Year Old Virgin & Knocked Up) says that the secret to his film’s success have been “an equal mixture of both d*** and heart.”For the past few months it’s been hard to avoid the thousands of billboards for Universal’s Forgetting Sarah Marshall:”My mom ALWAYS hated you Sarah Marshall”"Yes, you do look fat in those jeans Sarah Marshall”Yes, their vague marketing campaign is pretty annoying, but to discredit the film completely would be a huge mistake. The film is just as hilarious as mega-comedies like Super Bad and The 40 Year Old Virgin; and, it’s safe to say that the Apatow Gang has done it again with this film.Forgetting Sarah Marshall opens tomorrow–April 18th–and you definitely shouldn’t miss it!

Here’s our list of the top 5 most overlooked movies from last year. If you missed them in the theaters, you should definitely take the time to rent them.

1. King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters

This is an awesome documentary about Donkey Kong–yes, Donkey Kong; but, this is one documentary that no one should miss! I’m not exaggerating–you do not need to be an 80s gamer, or even just a gamer, to enjoy this documentary.

I was doubtful when I heard it was about Donkey Kong; but, with some arm twisting by my gamer-boyfriend, I went to see it. The result? I loved it…. and I now own my own copy…and I make all my friends watch it….and, in turn, they all love it!

Synopsis from Rotten Tomatoes: There’s more drama in this small documentary than in most serious Oscar contenders. A marriage is on the line, integrity is tested, and friendships falter–all in the name of a video game called, Donkey Kong…

2. Stardust

Okay, this is a fantasy movie that was largely overlooked in 2007 even though it had Hollywood heavy-hitter, Robert De Niro, starring in it, along with Claire Danes and Michelle Pfeiffer. Again, this was another movie I was doubtful about; but, then one of my movie-buff friends said, “How can you pass up a movie that stars Robert De Niro as a gay space pirate?” That totally sold me…so, I saw it….and, again, I loved it….So, you should also not miss this movie–it encompasses fantasy, fairytale, adventure, humor, and more.

3. Hot Fuzz

Are you in the mood for ridiculousness? Good–then rent Hot Fuzz…a great combination of comedy and action all surrounding the most ridiculous plot that just adds to this films brilliance. This was one enjoyable film that way too many people missed out on!

Critic quote from Rotten Tomatoes:

It’s a movie that is literally, painfully funny, insofar as I occasionally laughed so hard that I thought my chest was about to collapse.

4. Atonement

If it’s romance and drama that you’re looking for, then definitely check out Atonement; a movie that was adapted from a book….Critic, Margaret Pomeranz, had this to say about the adaption of the film:

This is one fine film and I found it even more moving than the book.

How often do you hear that? Um, like never! As great as many movies are, the books are always better. Atonement stars the gorgeous Keira Knightly and the wonderful James McAvoy…Critic, MaryAnn Johanson, said:

Knightley is exquisite, shouldering…old Hollywood glamour…McAvoy positively simmers with the kind of emotion…that old Hollywood trained us to love in romantic heros…

5. The Band’s Visit

Do you want to be moved? And perhaps expand your mind? Even if you don’t want to be moved, or you’re not in the mood to expand your mind, you still must see this little known drama that strategically intermixes an appropriate amount of silliness into it. The Band’s Visit is a cinematic event that doesn’t shy away from the difficult and complex cultural divides in the Middle East; but, rather shows that humanity can prevail in the most uncertain of circumstances. Critic, David Kaplan, poignoantly said,

This is one movie where words can do little justice to the quality of the film itself.

He got it just right–you just have to see this film. And just in case that quote wasn’t convincing enough, here’s another from Ty Burr of the Boston Globe:

It’s a small, profoundly satisfying movie that keeps echoing long after it’s over.

Movies with echo are almost always amazing…this one will get you and your friends talking for sure.
