Description

Metropolitan is a 1990 American comedy-drama film written and directed by Whit Stillman. The film follows a group of young socialites in Manhattan's Upper East Side as they navigate the social scene during debutante season. The main character, Tom, is a newcomer to the group who is initially hesitant to participate in their elitist lifestyle but ultimately finds a sense of belonging among his new friends.

The film explores themes of class, privilege, and social identity. The characters are all part of the wealthy elite, but they each have their own struggles with fitting in and finding their place in society. The film offers a satirical take on the upper class, poking fun at their pretensions and foibles while also showing empathy for their struggles. The dialogue is witty and clever, with a dry sense of humor that adds to the film's charm.

Overall, Metropolitan is a smart and entertaining film that offers a fresh take on the coming-of-age genre. The cast of young actors, including Chris Eigeman, Taylor Nichols, and Carolyn Farina, deliver strong performances and bring depth to their characters. The film's black and white cinematography, reminiscent of classic Hollywood films, adds to its timeless feel. While the film may not be for everyone, those who appreciate witty dialogue and sharp social commentary are sure to enjoy it.

Released in 2012, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days covers the events depicted in third and fourth books of Jeff Kinney: The Last Straw and Dog Days. The last one "realistic fiction" novel got more attention from Wallace Wolodarsky who wrote a screenplay for the movie, and this fact is noticeably reflected in the film's plot. The storyline begins with Greg Heffley and Rowley Jefferson are going to the country club for their summer vacations where due to the unfortunate sequence of developments both of them got into the troubles. Bleak outlook of spending the summer in vain efforts to make some money is rising at the horizon with more and more of clarity. That makes the movie very similar to previous two: Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2010) and Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules (2011) – the hopeless children are showcased as losers trying to do their best. Nevertheless, the play of the cast is outstanding as usual and while watching this sequel you distinctively understand why these seven actor and actress (Zachary Gordon, Karan Brar, Robert Capron, Laine MacNeil, Connor & Owen Fielding and Dalila Bela were nominated the Young Artist Award and some of them ( we mean Laine MacNeil) even won it. By the way, Zachary Gordon's career is moving quite fast, which is led him to the lead role in the 2012 movie Norm of the North, where he plays main protagonist, Norm.

Think of Prom as High School Musical with heavy doses of teen-aged angst. Summarizing Prom in frighteningly reductive terms, Disney says, "A group of teenagers get ready for their high school prom," and the producers list it simultaneously as "comedy" and "drama." If you read only that description, you easily could conclude Prom dramatizes debutantes' struggles with mascara and up-dos. To her everlasting credit, Aimee Teegarden, veteran of heavy high school drama in "Friday Night Lights," goes a long way toward redeeming Prom from its awkward identity crisis. With a properly delicate and ironic touch, Ms. Teegarden effectively captures every sophisticated senior's inchoate recognition that "valedictory" means farewell and "commencement" is a synonym for "see ya." "Nova, Ms. Teegarden's allegorically named character, recognizes her pet antagonist probably is the ideal prom date, heavy on the fun factor and devoted to keeping rented tuxedos and poofy dresses in perspective. The unlikely pair contrasts sharply with Mei and Tyler, swept-away sweethearts, who wrestle with conscience and logistics as they work to wring every last micro-gram of meaning and romance from "the biggest night of their lives.""Set for release the last weekend of April, 2011, Prom may or may not set the tone for the Class of 2011's dining and dancing extravaganzas, but it surely will provide invaluable fashion and etiquette tips.
