My favorite movie

My favorite movie is "The Devil Wears Prada". The story happens in New York. One ordinary just-graduated in journalism school, Andy is hired to work as the assistant of the Runway fashion magazine's chief Miranda. The first assistant Emily and the stylist Nigel helps her about the behavior and the method that how to dress more appropriately for the environment. Andy changes her attitude and affecting her private life and the relationship with her boyfriend Nate. Finally, Andy learns that life is made of choices.
I like this movie because it is very funny and fashionable. Some people say that Andy has many contradictions about her works, but I think she always works very hard. This movie will make me happy. In addition Anne Hathaway is very beautiful!

Movie Review Response

One movie I want to see is Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Here are some reviews:

morganc21 from United States:
"Wow! What can I say? I've been waiting a year and a half for this movie and I can tell you that it was Definitely worth the wait!" Even though Daniel, Rupert and Emma are much older than 14 ... The selection ceremony for the Tri-Wizard tournament was humorous. The look of shock on certain characters faces is unforgettable! The tasks are fun and exciting even though I already knew what was going to happen!


matthewtooke63 from United Kingdom:
"TO be honest, this was my favourite book of all of them so far and frankly i was shocked at how terrible it really was..." All the good parts were missing from the book!! We didn't see David Tennant have his soul sucked which was rubbish, for goodness sake, get it together with amateur acting man!! I hope they pick it up for the next one as I immensely enjoyed "The Order Of The Phoneix" and its structure.


There are many different review of this movie. But I even want to see it, because I love the book and I want to judge this movie by myself.
