That's right, ladies and gentlemen, we (not-so?) proudly present Egypt's answer to Sex and the City. Jumping into the Manolo Blahniks made famous by Carrie Bradshaw — only with not-so-fabulous shoes, we suspect — is Rania Farid Shawki, who plays a famous journalist who also has a popular romance advice column. The series revolves around Shawki and her interaction with one of her readers, Dr. Omayma (Abdallah). Meanwhile, Shawki's first love (Mohamed Riad) comes back into her life with a vengeance as Shawki starts to get cold feet about marrying her cousin (Yasser Galal). Fact: The series was in editing at press time. Worth Watching Because: We finally get to watch Rania Farid Shawki in a role that doesn't force her to don a galabeya. Avoid It Because: One can only take so much of Ahmed Khalil.

The move by Warner Bros. was followed by similar actions from New Line Home Entertainment and HBO Home Video. Recent stories have even suggested that Paramount is also tossing around the idea of supporting the Blu-ray disc standard. Toshiba apparently doesn't want to go down without a fight and is instead slashing the prices on its HD DVD players.
