Adapted from Stefanie London’s novel The Dachshund Wears Prada, Paws in the City has more bark than bite. The TV-movie casts Emeraude Toubia as failed social media consultant Issa, whose downfall we see early in the film. Needing a job and running into the new CEO of a publishing house whose grandmother left him a troublesome dachshund Camilla who seems to take to Issa, Theo (Carter Jenkins) hires her on the spot (despite his hatred of publicity in general and social media especially).

The Thomas Crown Affair

  • Title: The Thomas Crown Affair (1999)
  • IMDb: link

1999’s remake of the 1968 film about a multi-million dollar heist is certain an improvement on the original trading in a lackluster bank heist for stylish museum thefts of fine art. Casting Pierce Brosnan is the middle of his James Bond run as the bored rich man who steals art for his own amusement, the film never hits the Ocean’s 11 level of cool but it certainly has some cachet. Opposite our thief we get Rene Russo as the insurance investigator suspicious of Thomas Crown who also starts dating him (first for access but later feelings do develop as the pair consistently trade barbs).
