Chicago
let me just say, i saw chicago (on broadway) with bebe neuwirth, so there was no way catherine zeta-jones was living up to that. and now as i sit here and listen to the broadway cast, i'm thinking, the rest of them did pretty well. i mean, renee zellweger is no ann reinking, but i thought she was pretty amazing. richard gere came out and i rolled my eyes with the rest of the audience, but he proceeded to wow everyone. who knew he could sing? well, i guess the casting directors, right.
all in all, a very entertaining movie. and they stuck pretty closely to the broadway show, which made me happy. john c. reilly was great as amos hart, you really felt for him by the end. i don't think richard gere deserved the oscar snub, but who knows what the academy is ever thinking. i mean, they didn't nominate leo for titanic either, which blew my mind. so mr gere, you are in good company.
i completely understand now how it got the golden globe. it was most definitely one of the better movies i've seen lately
