The Devil Wears Prada - best moments + music

The Devil Wears Prada is an Academy Award-nominated 2006 comedy-drama film, a loose screen adaptation of Lauren Weisberger's 2003 novel of the same name.

Major roles: * Anne Hathaway as Andrea "Andy" Sachs * Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly: The editor of Runway. * Emily Blunt as Emily Charlton * Stanley Tucci as Nigel * Adrian Grenier as Nate * Simon Baker as Christian Thompson * Tracie Thoms as Lily * Rich Sommer as Doug * Tibor Feldman as Irv Ravitz * Daniel Sunjata as James Holt

Streep's performance drew rave reviews from critics and later earned her many award nominations, including her record-setting 14th Oscar bid, as well as a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical. Blunt also drew favorable notice and nominations, as did many of those involved in the film's production. While critical reaction to the film as a whole was more measured, it received generally favorable notice and became a surprise summer box-office hit following its June 30 North American release. The commercial success and critical praise for Streep continued in foreign markets, and it led the international box office for most of October. The U.S. DVD release likewise was the top rental during December. Ultimately, it would gross over $300 million, mostly from its international run, and finish in 2006's top 20 both in the U.S. and overseas. It was also the highest-grossing film ever in Streep's and Hathaway's careers. A television series is being developed.

Although the movie is set in the fashion world, most designers and other fashion notables avoided appearing as themselves for fear of arousing the wrath of powerful U.S. Vogue editor Anna Wintour, who is widely believed to have been the inspiration for Priestly. Many designers did, however, allow their clothes and accessories to be used in the film, making it the most expensively-costumed film in history. Wintour later overcame her initial skepticism, saying she liked the film and Streep in particular.

Director David Frankel and producer Wendy Finerman had originally read The Devil Wears Prada as a book proposal written by Weisberger. It was sent out to an agent who sold it in under one minute. A hundred pages long, it dealt with what became the film's set-up, the story of Andrea's job search and how she ended up working for a fashion magazine editor.

It would be Frankel's second theatrical feature. For him, cinematographer Florian Ballhaus and costume designer Patricia Field, it was a reunion of sorts as they had all worked on Sex and the City, where they had gained valuable experience depicting women at work and play in a glamorous and exciting New York.

Music

Composer Theodore Shapiro relied heavily on guitar and percussion, with the backing of a full orchestra, to capture a contemporary urban sound. He ultimately wrote 35 minutes of music for the film, which were performed and recorded by the Hollywood Studio Symphony, conducted by Pete Anthony.

His work was balanced with songs by U2 ("City of Blinding Lights", Miranda and Andrea in Paris), Madonna ("Vogue" & "Jump", Andrea's fashion montage & her first day on the job, respectively), KT Tunstall ("Suddenly I See", female montage during opening credits), Alanis Morissette ("Crazy", Central Park photo shoot), Bitter:Sweet ("Our Remains", Andrea picks up James Holt's sketches for Miranda; Bittersweet Faith, Lily's art show), Azure Ray ("Sleep", following the breakdown of her relationship with Nate),Jamiroquai ("Seven Days In Sunny June", Andrea and Christian meet at James Hoult's party) among others.

Frankel had wanted to use "City of Blinding Lights" in the film since he had used it as a soundtrack to a video montage of Paris scenes he had put together after scouting locations there. Likewise, Field had advocated just as strongly for "Vogue".

The soundtrack album was released on July 11 by Warner Music. It includes all the songs mentioned above (except Madonna's "Jump") as well as a suite of Shapiro's themes. However, among the tracks not included is "Suddenly I See", which disappointed many fans. It became popular as a result of the film although the single did not crack the U.S. Top Forty. It nonetheless became a popular radio hit.

Snaps is the Name of the Game - The Name of the Game is....

Jane's got the clues
but Jim is confused.
They're playing the game
that goes by the name
of Snaps.


Snaps is a secret way of communicating that relies on your ability to decipher the hidden meaning behind snapping and coded phrases.

In the game you'll have to pay careful attention to what is being said and snapped in order to guess the correct word(s). If you type in the right answer you'll automatically proceed to the next question. If you can't figure it out keep trying until the clock runs out or automatically skip to the next one.

But it only gets harder.

When you hear Snaps is Not the Name of the Game you'll need to decipher the snaps and phrases to discover a clue for the word you're supposed to guess. But you'll need to type in the actual word (rather than the clue) to get it right. For example, if the clue is striped horse the correct answer for you to enter is zebra. Got it?

Finally, when you hear Snaps is the Game of the Name you'll need to think about things the opposite of how you might usually do it. Remember, when you hear Snaps is the Game of the Name you should look back at your answers to make sure you're doing it right.

Sometimes the correct answer is more than one word so don't forget to leave a space between each word to get it right.

Do you think you've got what it takes to be a Snaps expert?

Here's you chance to find out.

Have fun and remember ---

Snaps is the Name of the Game and the Name of the Game is Snaps.
