Devilish

There she is, the magnificent Meryl. Isn't she just lovely? She completely stole the show in THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA, and I enjoyed every single moment she was on the screen.

The debate will rage on whether or not the character of Miranda Priestly is or is not Anna Wintour, but I really don't care. Meryl played Miranda like no one else could - her voice, her mannerisms, everything were pitch-perfect. The rest of the movie, as well as the rest of the cast, could not keep up with Ms. Streep. But it was entertaining, and for a summer movie, it was light and fun. And Stanley Tucci is a gem, albeit underused in the film.

Made me crave some more Meryl - especially comedic Meryl, which you don't get a lot. POSTCARDS FROM THE EDGE is a favorite, and I actually liked HEARTBURN. Okay, the latter isn't so funny, but I do love the shots of DC from the 1980s. Plus, she wears a lot of awesome shoulder pads.

Perhaps I will see a PRAIRIE HOME COMPANION...she guest starred this past weekend at the Tanglewood 4th of July celebration, and she was fab.

P.S. I almost forgot - the sandy haired SIMON BAKER has a small yet crucial role in this film, and you get to see him shirtless. Hubba. Yes, Em, I wanted you to know.
