Oliver

Hello fellow bloggers,

 The musical I watched this week is Oliver. Oliver is based of the book Oliver Twist which is written by Charles Dickens. This was made into a musical in the 1930's and made into a movie in 1968. The movie version was directed by Sir Carol Reed and Mark Lester as Oliver.

This musical is about an orphaned boy who runs away from the orphanage and meets up with a group of boys who pick pockets. There is a more modern version of this musical which is August Rush. If you haven't seen either of these movies please do because they are both really good.

Country Strong

This weekend I watched Country Strong. Country Strong is about a country singer who had an acohol and drug addiction and she wasn't able to finish her tour. She also was pregnant at the time and lost her kid due to the addiction. A year later her husband which is also her producer and manager has reschedule the towns of the tour that she missed when she hasn't yet been cleared from the rehab center. In exchange for her to go on tour the hospital has sent Beau who is her care person through out her rehab process. Beau also singings on the tour.

This movie is written and directed by Shana Feste. The main actors are Gwynenth Paltrow (Kelly Canter), Tim McGraw (James Canter), Garrett Hedlund (Beau Hutton),  and Leighton Meester (Chiles Stanton). If you have not seen this movie it is a must but if you don't like country music you may not like it as much as others. PS there is a big ending which I do not like at all so go and watch it.

O Brother, Where Art Thou

Sorry everybody about last week I was really busy,but this weekend I watched the movie O Brother, Where Art Thou. If you have never seen this movie you should because it is really really good. This movie takes place in the Dirty Thirties in Mississippi. It is about three men escaping jail and finding their treasurer that a man told them about on the train tracks. This movie is a musical because more than half of it is sung. The most famous song that is in this movie is Man of Constant Sorrow.  A cool fact about this movie is that Goerge Clooney never actually sang some other person was recorded for his character.

This movie was directed by Joel and Ethan Coen and stars Goerge Clooney, John Turturro, Tim Blake Nelson, John Goodman, Holly Huntera and Charles Durning. I give this movie two thumbs up because I love the movie also it takes place during my favorite time period.

I did not have time this weekend to watch a movie but I will have one up Wensday night so stay tuned I have a feeling I will be watching Mama Mia or Grease. Help me decide what one I should watch.

Fame

This weekend I watched the movie Fame. Fame is about high school kids wanting to pursue a career in a fine arts job. These students where trying to pursue an acting, musician, singing, or dancing as there career. It opens up with all of them auditioning to get into the school. Some of the ones that are auditioning to get into the school are challenged a little bit harder then some but at the end of the day the ones that are picked it comes more natural but still have some challenges.

This movie was re-made in 2009 and is based off of in 1980 movie. Most people believe that this movie didn't change from its original version besides the fact that it was made to modern time. The director of this play is Kevin Tancharoen. Everybody should watch this movie to get the full understanding of the movie and to see the hardships it takes to pursue a job in the fine arts center.
