The Devil Wears Prada 2 - Still Enjoyable Sequel but the Original Left Better Impression

I found out about this movie few weeks ago which surprised me as it was a sequel to the film released many years ago (twenty to be exact). Anyway it was something that I was interested and after two days playing in Indonesian cinemas, my wife and I decided to see it noon today. OK then, here's more on the film.

Brief Story Line

Twenty years after the events of the first movie, Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway - The Witches 2020 version, The Hustle etc) was already a successful journalist while the now online Runway magazine was still managed by Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep - Hoppers, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again etc) with her right hand man Nigel Kipling (Stanley Tucci - Beauty & The Beast live action movie, Citadel TV series etc). 

After an unexpected turn of events, Andy was hired to work as editor of Runway and reunited with Miranda while having to deal with her demands. She later met with Emily (Emily Blunt - The Fall Guy, The Girl on the Train etc) who no longer work for Miranda. Things were very challenging for Andy as she found that handling online fashion magazine was different from conventional news media. Things became more complicated with the sudden change in leadership that would jeopardize Runway's livelihood.

(2026) Michael - A Biography of the King of Pop Focusing More on His Inspiring Side and Great Achievements

I have been eyeing to see this movie ever since it was made known in social media. Last week it had its advance ticket sale for Wednesday but not in my favorite studio. Unfortunately it only had one show during the following two days and by Friday it was no longer available there and was playing in few theaters. So my wife and I ended up having to see this yesterday in one of those limite options. Without further ado, here's more on the film.

Brief Story Line

Story focused on the life of Michael Jackson from his childhood years (portrayed by Juliano Krue Valdi) to his adulthood (portrayed by Jaafar Jackson). Michael was the youngest of a band with his older brothers named Jackson 5, formed, trained and managed by their father Joseph Jackson (Colman Domingo - The Running Man 2025 remake, Candyman 2021 version etc) who was very hard on them. Meanwhile their mother Katherine (Nia Long - Missing, Big Momma's House etc) was not really approving but she did not have courage to go against Joseph.

(2026) APEX - A Different Kind of Survival Thriller Movie

Yesterday this movie was released in Netflix as part of their Friday new movies line up. It was something that I was interested in after seeing the cast and the simple premise. When it was made available in the afternoon, I immediately gave it a try. OK let's just get to it then.

Brief Story Line

Five months after finishing rock climbing in the high Troll Wall of Norway with her husband Tommy (Eric Bana - Untamed mini series, King Arthur: Legend of The Sword etc), Sasha (Charlize Theron - The Old Guard 2, The Addams Family 2019 animated movie etc) went to Australia for another experience in the wild Wandarra National Park.

While looking for a specific location, Sasha asked direction from someone she just met named Ben (Taron Egerton - She Rides Shotgun, Smoke mini series etc). Unfortunately for Sasha, she became the object of a hunting "game" initiated by Ben where she had to escape in the wilderness.
