Chain Reaction 

The differences in these films could not be more blatant, and yet Gus Van Sant has found a way to portray the same messages and use the same techniques in each.

The Franke kids seemingly lived a normal life, until their mom met the infamous Jodi Hilderbrandt.

‘Better Than Chocolate’ isn’t perfect, but it sure has charm! The characters are great. Some took longer to grow on me than others, but ultimately they’re all compelling! I appreciate how a select few help those around them to grow.

My review’s title is a nod to Shakespeare and is entirely deliberate. The original movie portrayed the high-end fashion world as a brutal arena of plotting, backstabbing, and betrayal, and most Shakespeare’s plays depend on these plot devices. The Devil Wears Prada 2 uses the same formula, and is, plot-wise, almost identical.

The only thing different is that due to the digital era, Runway is not a print magazine anymore, but one that is running online.

That gut-wrenching feeling you have while watching it is okay but needed, and you, the viewer, will be okay.

A direct fall into the white savior narrative
