Movie Review: Chicago
Ok, so everyone's seen it already. I just wanted to give my thoughts after watching it again today.1) Yeah, so it's bawdy. I like it anyway.
2) The casting is perfect. All of the actors and actresses give outstanding performances.
2a) Someone as beautiful as Catherine Zeta-Jones should not also get to have a great voice. That's just not fair.
2b) Queen Latifah is superb.
2c) I love, love, love Richard Gere as Billy Flynn. And not just cuz he's pretty. His voice is so well suited for the role. It may not be strong or pure, but neither is Billy. He sounds a little smarmy, and his voice fits the type of music. I love it.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXqY7HsqZS0 (3:08-7:48 - I couldn't find a clip of just the song where the picture was clear)
3) Great set design.
4) Fun costuming.
Yep, it rightly won Best Picture.

it's my guilty pleasure (so's the soundtrack)
I think I probably need to see it again. I wasn't that impressed with it the first time, but I don't remember it, and I think I was expecting a lot because of all of the hype.
i think our first thought when mel and i saw it together was "crap - catherine zeta jones can sing, too"
It's been on my "to-watch" list for, well, forever!
Hmmm... maybe I'll have to pick it up for my birthday!
just make sure the little ones are tucked all snug in their beds
it might not be a bad idea to tuck josh away, too
