That's Entertainment

My Thoughts:

-    I used to be embarrassed that I loved musicals so much. In fact, I used to watch them late at night so my family didn't know what I was doing. Like they didn't know! ha! I used to secretly record them off the T.V. until I had a little collection of recorded musicals. It was my dirty little secret. Now I don't care! I embrace it proudly, and I can shout it from the rooftops! I LOVE MUSICALS!!!! They are my film of choice!

-    I LOVED watching this! Where has this been all my life? I loved seeing all the different musical numbers from several movies.

-    I loved the overture, and I could sing all the songs.

-    I adored the special appearances! It was neat to see some of my favorite stars in their older years. 

-    Part of the movie seemed like a bit of a memoriam for Judy Garland. She is one of my favorites, and I'm glad they kind of spotlighted her.

-    This made me want to watch ALL the MGM musicals. I have seen a lot of them, but not all, especially the older ones. 

-    I feel like I was born in the wrong era sometimes. I want to go to the theater and watch Gene Kelly dance and Judy Garland sing. They should bring this kind of quality entertainment back. We'll never see the likes of it again, and that is too tragic. 

-    So much talent in one documentary! It was a feast for the eyes and ears. 

The Pirate

My Thoughts:

-    I know this will sound ironic, but I thought this movie was really cheesy.  I know musicals are kinda that way anyway, but this one was extra cheesy.  It was really different for an MGM musical.

-    Gene Kelly's dancing was bit different from what I usually see.  It was more twinkle toed.

-    Kelly needed a haircut and to lose the mustache.  He is much cuter that way.  His costumes were very nice though.

-    Judy Garland is so pretty!  

-    Even though it was cheesy, I did laugh a few times.  It had it's funny moments.  Garland should have done more comedies.

-    The dream sequence was really weird.  I really didn't enjoy watching it.

-    Garland and Kelly make a fantastic team!  I love them together.  Between the dancing and singing, it is wonderful!  I wish they had made more movies together!  

-    This wasn't my favorite musical, but it was alright.  I'd watch it again.  

Singin' in the Rain

My Thoughts:

-    Seeing this on the big screen was AWESOME!!!  I can now say that I've seen Gene Kelly in theaters!!

-    My favorite thing about it was being part of a great audience.  I loved the people that clapped after each dance number.  It was just so fun.  Everyone was laughing and just having a ball!

-    I loved the intro stuff before the movie.  They had an interview with Debbie Reynolds, and showed clips of interviews with other members of the cast.  It was great!  

-    This is one of the greatest musicals of all time!  It is so fun, funny, and happy!  It has great characters, fun story, hilarious moments, dance numbers, and music.  You just can't go wrong here.  

-    The dance numbers are wonderful.  It makes me want to get up and dance.  I can't believe Debbie Reynolds didn't know how to dance before this movie.  She has major talent and is a quick learner.  Gene Kelly and Donald O'Conner are wonderful together!!  I wish they had done more shows together.

-    Cosmo's character was hilarious!  His Make 'em Laugh number is one of the funniest routines I've seen.

-    I also love the "no no no," "yes yes yes," part!  Cracks me up every time!!  Same goes for the "I can't stan 'em" bits.

-    Gene Kelly is so charming.  He has a nice smile.  I used to have a crush on him when I was little.

-    I just can't say enough about this movie.  If I wrote down everything I thought about this movie, we'd be here all day.  If you haven't seen it, YOU ARE MISSING OUT!!  Get a copy of this and watch it!!!!

-    I want to see it again!  I wish this was in the theaters longer than just this one day.

p.s.  They were showing trivia questions about musicals before the show, and I ALL of them correct!! Oh ya!
