Step Up Revolution (2012)
Best Step Up Yet
This was the best 'Step Up' movie yet. With the other 'Step Up' movies the movie revolves more on whatever mediocre drama is going on with the characters. In the other movies you also have to wait for the really good dance parts until the end.That certainly isn't the case with 'Step Up Revolution'. Slammed packed with amazing dancing from beginning to end.
Shocking for a fourth installment of a series this is easily the best dance movie I have seen. Regardless of the fact that the movie is mostly filled with new actors, the movie had a great flow. I had low expectations going in but was blown away. I was already a fan of the 'Step Up' movies, but this one had amazing energy from start to finish. Definitely buy worthy.
Rock of Ages (2012)
Music nearly made it worth the time
The music was good, though the constant combo of two good songs at a time kind of ruined it for me. Tom Cruise trying to be the 'sexy rock god' was a little disturbing because in his best moments during the movie he looked like Lestat in 'Interview with a Vampire' when he was supposed to be dying. Also, the lead actor and actress have absolutely no chemistry. Alec Baldwin was surprisingly decent as the owner of the legendary rock bar. Catherine Zeta Jones was another con to this movie- I understood the role she was attempting to pull off, but it was poorly executed. The movie had interesting aspects but the bad out-weighed the good. If you're a fan of musicals and 1980's rock it's definitely worth watching once. However. I wouldn't suggest this as buy- worthy.
Oklahoma! (1999)
Hugh Jackman in Oklahoma
To be honest, Hugh Jackman is what caught my initial attention. My daughter was sitting in the living room and had left the TV on while she was playing with her toys. PBS was playing Oklahoma which I recognized right away from the music. Then I saw Curly and was amazed to see it was Hugh Jackman. I had seen him in Someone Like You and X-Men. It is always amazing to see an actor step out of the box and show you a whole new side to the talent they have to offer. His singing and acting both were exceptional. He alone certainly did not carry the movie however. The whole movie was excellently cast. Will Parker and Ado Annie couldn't have had a been better cast by any famous actor. They made you laugh at their antics and pulled you into their somewhat strange relationship. Judd was perfectly cast as well, certainly making you feel wary of being caught alone with a man like him. That first time I saw it, I only caught the last half, but have since purchased the DVD. It is certainly worth watching and in my opinion owning.
