Shipping Wars (2012– )
10/10
Annoyingly Addictive
22 September 2013
Much like "Storage Wars" or "Storage Hunters", i did not want to watch this, yet - it's good. However, Shipping Wars outshines both these shows, as the setting, items and journeys are different every single time. Roy is by far the star of this show, with Jarrett providing some look through your fingers viewing. I did not expect to enjoy this at all, however the downright fun of it, and the constant remarks from Roy such as "perfect, just like me" make it fantastic viewing. The one let down to the series is Chris and Robbie, whom do not posses the "entertainment factor" unlike Roy, Mark, Jarrett and Jennifer who always manage to come out with snide comments, hilarious one liners and always produce a wonderful show. As I said before, Roy is by far the star of this show, and sometimes overwhelms everyone - however, this is a good thing. Once you start watching, you wont want to see anyone else.

Shipping Wars is well worth a watch, and will leave you rooting for Roy and his one liners, and leaving you a bit starstruck with the idiocy of Jarrett.

A real, true, gritty 10 out of 10 show.

10/10
A nostalgic film for the fans
22 September 2013
Warning: Spoilers
If you loved the TV series, you will adore this film. Where others believe this film does not do the show justice, i fully disagree. Any loose ends which were left at the end of Season 6 are tied up over the course of the movie such as Harry & Charlotte's adopted baby, Where Mr Big and Carrie's relationship will lead, What happened to Samantha after cancer and How does Miranda cope with raising a child, and keeping her marriage on track. The brand new story lines that follow in this film are outstanding. The film takes us back to the days where the four girls were single, and walking around town in their line of four , which brings the film such a nostalgic feel. A cameo from the original dress which appeared in the opening titles of the series reinstates just how much this film is for the fans. The opening sequence begins with a short snippet of the original theme, before blasting us off into a brand new version with lyrics by Fergie (Of Black Eyed Peas origin) which drags this film right up to date. The only let down however is the introduction of Jennifer Hudson's character in the film, however this is totally overshadowed by brilliant acting from the ladies, the men and a wonderful script. With a wonderful soundtrack to accompany it, this film certainly takes you right back to the series, and gives you many unexpected surprises, ones which you never thought would happen to the main characters. The film follows an entire year of the women and their lives in New York City (and Los Angeles for Samantha), and just proves throughout that friendship is the one label that never goes out of style.
