It is really good! And sadly no... I went to see it when I was visiting my friend in New York. It is only in limited release right now.

F*cking AMAZING. May be Disney's finest moment in a long long time.

I thought Pixar were running out of ideas when Cars came out, but then they make an incredibly original film like Ratatouille and now this, a post appocaylptic romantic comedy... with robots. I love it.

I had high expectations for this movie but I still didn't expect it to wow me or move me as much as it did.

Just watched Smiley Face and it was excruciatingly funny at parts.

I agree, I loved this movie it was great.

On a side note, I saw 'Australia' and it was quite good - but 2 and a half hours long! And I'm pretty sure 99.99% of people outside of Australia would not like it at all. But I'm Australian and I enjoyed it. I love Bazz Luhrmann and his attempts to bring romanticism back into cinema.

I wasn't actually that impressed with Scheider, but noone can direct a dance number like Fosse. It's certainly one of the best musical films I've ever seen, but also rather a difficult watch given its subject matter...I loved the smokey dance number, that was just mindblowingly good.

Wifey Boozer 12-11-2008 05:36 PM

Fosse is a great director. Cabaret is also one of my favorite films by him, and of all time. Were you impressed with Chicago? I saw the film before I saw the play... and I saw the play locally at The Palace (in upstate NY), and wasn't impressed with the actors that much. The film version wasn't exactly clever, but it certainly grabbed me. (Or did CZJ grab me? Not sure ;)).

PS. Smokey dance number = 11/10.

Cabaret is one of my favorites too, not just musicals, mainly because it's one of the rare musicals that actually has good music (the other two are Hair and Grease). That's what I felt was missing from Chicago. CZJ was pretty good though, but she's a dancer I think. I'll be honest and say that the reason why I didn't really think much of it was probably because of all the hype it got. I'll have to rewatch it now that I've seen Cabaret and All that jazz, just to see how they compare. But really, Cabaret is the golden standard of musicals for me.

Wifey Boozer 12-11-2008 05:49 PM

I have the entire Cabaret soundtrack on my iTunes, and everybody picks on me for it haha. I agree that Cabaret is one of the rare musicals with good music. Also enjoy Grease, but I've seen it so much that it's getting wearing haha.

CZJ is a dancer. Tap dancer, hoofer, all of it. She used to be on the stage in Wales (her birth-country) a lot.
