Soon "Fame" will be coming to a theater near you. It was a classic, they are making it into a disgrace. Next thing you know they will be remaking "Grease" or "Pajama Party". Listen, I know we need more musicals in film, but not cheesy, formulated, unoriginal teen productions without pazazz! I love that modern days have good movies that integrate music like: Chicago, Moulin Rouge, Hairspray, Sweeny Todd…(have you noticed the best musical features come from really good theatrical musicals?)… and on the other end of the spectrum we get the Step up (1 and 2!!!!), Dance with me, You got served, Whip it and countless others that mean NOTHING when it comes down to making a good movie.

Yes, they might have great dance moves in them, good choreographies, but they are like 2 hour long videoclips! And here we have anotherone coming…(Lets hope this one is better than the aforementioned). Unfortunately sounds like another Save the Last Dance. 

Have you ever notices most of these stories revplve around Hip Hop dancers who learn classical or "formal" dance, or vice-versa? And another of my pet peeves, they dont really hire actors for most of the starring roles. Musicals used to be done by great actors who had musical abilities. Now… They get dancers who cant say a line honestly to save their life. I’d like to see these same teen "dancers" auditioning for Cats! For the full article...Click Here.
