Bye Bye Birdie is the musical I watched this weekend. I have not seen this musical in a while but the good and bad thing about movies if you see it once it doesn't change. This musical is not my favorite I believe that the actors are use to the stage productions not movie productions. This movie is based on Elvis Presley and when he was enlisted to go to war.
Conrad Birdie is the biggest rock & roll star of the 60's ever to be drafted. Aspiring chemist and song writer Albert is convinced he can make his fortune and marry his girlfriend Rosie if he gets Conrad on the Ed Sullivan show to kiss a high school girl goodbye. Albert's mother will do anything to break him up with Rosie. Kim and Hugo, the high school steadies, live in Sweet Apple, Ohio where most of the action takes place.
This movie was directed by George Sidney and it starred Dick Van Dicke, Janet Leigh, and Ann Margret

Annie
I watched the loving movie Annie this weekend. If you haven't heard of Annie you better watch this movie because it is a must for all musicals. Annie was made into a movie in 1982 and was directed by John Huston. This movie takes place during the 1930's and is about an orphaned girl who lives in a terrible orphanage who is runned by Miss Hannigan. Annie's life changes when Mr. Oliver Warbuck sends his assistant to the orphanage and Annie is picked to stay at his house. You will have to watch the movie to see how it ends and if you do get a chance to watch or if you have seen it before tell me what you like about it. Have a nice night and see you Tomorrow.

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.

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).

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.

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.
