I just need to take a moment to collect myself. May I just say Adrian Grenier is one of the sexiest men on the planet? I have no idea what it is about him that sets me ablaze so when I see him, but seriously, the man makes me sweat. He really does.

Okay. Moving on.

The Devil Wears Prada pairs the incredibly talented Meryl Streep with the also incredibly talented and unearthly beautiful Anne Hathaway, and what a tremendous movie we get as a result. These two work amazingly together and Emily Blunt is absolutely adorable.

The Devil Wears Prada is a bit predictable, but it is entertaining. The comedy is smart and sharp. The drama is emotional and engrossing and I loved the way Meryl Streep’s Miranda was slowly revealed to be something more than an evil ice queen. And how can you not love Anne Hathaway as Andy? Sure she may not always make the right choices, but you feel for her even if you don’t agree with what’s she’s doing.

Marley & Me is a love story. I don’t care what anyone says. It’s a story about love between a man a woman, parents and their children and pet owners and their furry companions. The road isn’t always smooth when we share our homes with a pet, but it’s always worth it.

This movies reminds us of that. What more could a girl ask for in a movie? Marley & Me gives us laughs, tears and most importantly, a ridiculously adorable puppy. Just make sure you have a big box of tissue (and I do mean big) for this one though, because ladies, there is no shortage of water works with this one.

Now, hey, I’m not really the type of girl that goes to pieces over a movie. It just doesn’t happen. I needed to be swept up and glued back together by the time Marley & Me was over. We’re not talking a stoic, solitary tear. We’re talking full on sobbing, gasping and whimpering.

Did I mention the gorgeous Jennifer Aniston is in this? Let’s not even talk about Owen Wilson. I think, deep down, you all agree that boy is just too adorable for words. Adorable isn’t enough for you? Two words. Eric. Dane. That man is smokin’. So hot. And a puppy. A puppy! Read more
