The Rocky Horror Picture Show

Tonight I watched a favourite movie of mine, in the spirit of Halloween. The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a classic cult film made in 1975 with Tim Curry and Susan Sarandon. It was based on the broadway musicals of the same name. I think I first discovered this movie in 2004 when I was still in Hugh school. It was on tv and I had recorded a tv show while I was sleeping and instead of my show, the movie recorded. I was very interested in this peculiar movie because I was just a kid and the movie is pretty raunchy. It was my secret delight. I showed it to some friends and they became hooked too. The movie is a musical and I love musicals. The songs are so catchy and it's easy to find yourself singing them after you watch it. It's a pretty weird movie but it is a classic and it will never get old.

Sparkle

I just saw the new movie Sparkle the other day and I really enjoyed it. The storyline was good and the characters were well developed. It had a lot of emotional scenes and lots of drama. The music numbers were very good and I highly enjoyed them. I love musical movies and Dreamgirls is one of my favorite movies and this one reminds me of it. I only found out today that it was a remake of an original Sparkle movie from 1976. I am off to watch that one now to see the difference... go see Sparkle in theaters!

My Collections - Part 6 - Gerard Butler

The last installment in my Collections series! Gerard Butler!

I became interested in him when I saw the movie "The Phantom of the Opera" in 2004. I really loved the Phantom and the whole movie was great, the songs were great and so catchy and I love musicals so it was great. It was so romantic and even though the Phantom is supposed to be ugly they chose Gerard Butler to play the role and he is so attractive that I couldn't help but think throughout the whole movie that the Phantom was so hot and mysterious and I was just really into him, he was so sensitive and his singing was sensual. I got really into the Phantom scene and loved everything about it.

I also loved Gerard Butler and saw the next movies he would be in. Since he was in The Phantom of the Opera his career has really taken off and he has played in so many more movies, even big movies like 300, P.S. I Love You & How to Train Your Dragon. Before Phantom he was in lots of movies too but more obscure ones that you had never really heard of.

I think it's great that his career has taken off like that. He is a very good actor and very versatile. He is great at doing scary movies and especially action movies because he has a toned muscular body. Yet, he is also perfect for romantic movies because he is great at playing the hopeless romantic type. It is funny how someone could be so good at playing such extremes, but he seems to pull it off effortlessly.

I will see any movie he is in that comes into theaters because I am confident that it will be a good movie if he is in it.

My collection (If you could even call it a collection because it is pretty pathetic) is small and I only really have movies of his... and not very many even at that.... need to work on it!

BURLESQUE

I finally watched Burlesque yesterday. I know I am a bit late but I waited for it to go on dvd. I heard a lot of bad reviews for this film saying that it was very cheesy and predictable and copies movies like Showgirls, etc... So I was expecting a crappy movie. Boy was I wrong! This was actually a pretty decent movie! I am not really a Christina Aguilera fan, nor a Cher fan but I do love musicals and this was a really great musical that had me smiling and feeling like I was really hooked on every scene.

Plus Christina looked really cute in this film (She got really fat now) and Cher was pretty.


I loved all of the musical numbers and dance routines and I will probably download the soundtrack.


One of my fav scenes is where Ali goes up on stage for one of the first times and the girl who doesn't like her cuts out the sound and Ali starts singing the song on her own... it was pretty cool!!!



And I love these shoes from the movie!!!
