Sweeney Todd - The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (Two-Disc Special Collector
2008-03-25 05:30:00 After years of rumors, it turns out that Tim Burton was the perfect visionary to film Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Stephen Sondheim's Broadway masterpiece, and the result is a macabre and moving musical movie as enthralling as anything Burton has ever done. The show's mix of gothic horror, Grand Guignol, very dark humor, and witty and beautiful music never was the stuff of traditional musical comedy, but it's a powerful work, and perhaps the richest of the late 20th century. In the movie, Burton's frequent collaborator, Johnny Depp, plays Todd, a wronged man whose lust for revenge drives him to murder (an 19th-century legend who has been traced to a real-life barber). Helena Bonham Carter, another Burton mainstay, is Mrs. Lovett, the barber's partner-in-unspeakable-crime. It's no surprise that Depp is an excellent choice to convey Todd's brooding intensity and volcanic rage, but he can also sing a score that is so challenging it has often played in opera ho...
Once (2007)
2008-03-02 03:20:00 Winner of the World Audience Award at Sundance, Once starts out as a small-scale romance, like Before Sunrise, before arriving somewhere unexpected. An Irish busker (Glen Hansard, the Frames and The Commitments) meets a Czech flower seller (Markéta Irglová) while singing on the streets of Dublin. (In the credits, they're listed as Guy and Girl.) She likes what she hears and lets him know. Turns out she's a musician, too. They work on a few songs together and a friendship is forged. She lives with her widowed mother, who doesn't speak English. He lives with his widowed father, who owns a repair shop. Since he broke up with his girlfriend, the guy has been drifting, unable and unwilling to get his life in order. The girl encourages him to pursue a record deal, and the guy emerges from his funk. Then he makes a move on the girl, who rejects his advances. He's confused, but as he comes to find, there's a reason she?s keeping her distance. Though Once is filled with appealing folk-p...

Across the Universe (Two-Disc Special Edition) (2007)
2008-02-05 06:49:00 Set in America during the Vietnam War, Across the Universe is a powerful love story set against a backdrop of political and social unrest: it's a story of soul-searching, self-doubt, and individual powerlessness cleverly conveyed through a multitude of Beatles songs. Like young adults all across America during the 1960's, Jude (Jim Sturgess), Lucy (Evan Rachel Wood), Max (Joe Anderson), Sadie (Dana Fuchs), Prudence (T.V. Carpio), and JoJo (Martin Luther) are in turmoil over the war; questioning their individual roles in the war effort and struggling to find a way to hold true to their beliefs while making a difference in the world. While love proves a powerful uniting force, its limitations become clear as relationships are strained and broken over individual perceptions of responsibility to cause and country. A fairly bizarre juxtaposition of extremely stylized, almost hallucinogenic scenes of swirling colors and reflections, highly choreographed dance segments, seemingly commonp...

High School Musical 2 (Extended Edition) (2007)
2007-12-02 09:00:00 What time is it? Time for High School Musical 2, the sequel to the Disney Channel smash that aired on Aug. 17, 2007 and became the most-watched basic-cable show ever. School is out, and Troy (Zac Efron) and Gabriella (Vanessa Hudgens) are looking forward to a summer to remember, but Troy also needs to make bank so he can go to college. As it turns out, Sharpay (Ashley Tisdale), the self-proclaimed primo girl of East High, has her eye set on primo-boy Troy, and gets him a job at the country club her parents own. It looks great for Troy when Gabriella and the rest of the Wildcats are hired also, but when he gets preferential treatment from the club manager (Mark Taylor) and others, it puts all of his relationships in hot water.Everyone's back from the original movie, including Zac's buddy Chad (Corbin Bleu), Sharpay's brother Ryan (Lucas Grabeel), and Gabriella's friend Taylor (Monique Coleman). And the songs on the hit soundtrack often parallel the originals and are just as catch...

31 Is a Crapload
2007-09-22 20:40:00 Early on in Across the Universe, the new Beatles movie musical that I kind of love and kind of hate at the same time, a character named Prudence (played by T.V. Carpio?Filipina power!) sings "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" longingly at a high school football player. The fluffy Beatles ditty gains some heft when given context (as is the case with most of the tunes in the film), and I unwittingly braced myself when she pleads, "Oh please say to me/You'll let me be your...." I thought to myself, She can switch genders, but then it won't rhyme! Oh crap, what is she going to do?! Take a look at this 35-second clip, and then return for my amazing follow-up commentary:So, yes, she keeps the gender, which sounds weird, but at least the rhyme scheme isn't fucked up. But then...then...right after that clip ends, we get another point of view shot, but this time the football player is gone, and we realize that Prudence is singing to the cheerleader! Oh my god, it's a lesbian surprise! I'm always ...

What Do You Think About Movies Made Into Stage Musicals?
2007-09-22 20:00:00 Earlier this week, Pop had pictures of some of the ladies from "The Hills" in New York for an event in which MTV filmed the Broadway stage musical production of "Legally Blonde". The show will air next Saturday, September 29. This whole thing got me thinking about the whole concept of making movies into stage musicals. There have been plenty of these in recent years, from High Fidelity to Young Frankenstein and, soon enough in New York, Dirty Dancing. What do you think about taking successful films and adapting them for musical theater? Source What Do You Think About Movies Made Into Stage Musicals? I love it — the more musical theater, the better! Hate it — it's always a bad idea It works with certain movies, but not all Other (tell me below)

Still Joey McIntyre After All These Years
2007-09-20 19:53:00 In reading over "How a Playwright Got His Groove Back," which I originally wrote eight years ago, I am most struck by how much I've changed. (I'm way sluttier nowadays.) Sure, as I pointed out, most of the ideas and principles that I wrote about are still valid today, but it's amusing to notice how different I am (or am I?) and it's also fun to mull over the behind-the-scenes stuff that happened thereafter. So here are sort of DVD-commentary revelations about that essay:1. I still go to Joey McIntyre concerts, but I'm not embarrassed to go alone.2. I met Joe Mac in 2001, after he performed in Jonathan Larson's Tick, Tick...Boom! in New York. He autographed a picture of himself and then touched my shoulder tenderly?a shoulder that I have not washed since. I am still tickled by what he wrote and by the fact that he actual listened to my incoherent blubberings. (I could recount the experience here, but, believe me, it'll be far more fun for you to think about me, think about Joe...

I don't find this news particularly interesting, but I do rejoice in the comments section of The Teen Scoop, where readers have showered Zefron with love, scary love.

A Zefrontastic and Crabalicious Birthday
2007-08-29 18:01:00 My birthday began at 5:30 AM yesterday, the call time for Laundromat. My favorite part of the film shoot, of course, was whenever the make-up guy would come and apply powders and potions to make me more beautiful than I already am. (Um, why did everybody on set laugh when I said that?)Then, it was off to a showing of Hairspray, where I went to get my "Zefr-on." (Holy shit, I just coined a new term! More uses: "I have to get the new High School Musical CD so I can get my Zefr-on!"; "you should buy the new Rolling Stone magazine and get your Zefr-on!"). This short clip shows you just how Zefrontastic the movie is:Zefron's character falls in love with the film's plus-size heroine. The obvious message of the movie, of course, is one of hope and inspiration. If Tracy Turnblad can get Zefron, then anybody can get Zefron. Or, to re-frame it another way, Zefron will do anyone, which gives me enough hope to last a lifetime.Okay, so we all know how mesmerizing Zefron is in Hairspray, but, s...

Put Your Eggs in My Basket
2007-08-28 04:13:00 A few weeks ago I had lunch with a visiting-from-D.C. Jonathan Rockett (and Roxanne) at El Cholo in Santa Monica, and between the two of them they had enough margaritas to put a buffalo into a coma. A couple weeks after that, I bumped into Mayo Best on the streets of Glendale because he had moved out from D.C. to continue his acting career after he finished a stint as a regular on The Wire. What do these two encounters have in common besides the obvious D.C. one?In 2002, both Jonathan and Mayo co-starred in the world premiere production of Boyz of All Nationz: The Rise and Fall of a Multi-Ethnic Boy Band. Jonathan was "the white one," and Mayo was "the black one," and all the actors invested so much into the idea of this boy band that they all began to strangely resemble one, complete with backstage gossip and group infighting. I had a blast.Even today, when people ask me what my favorite play is written by me, I immediately cite Boyz of All Nationz. (BOAN for short; and their fan...

Obligatory "HSM2" Update: "Your Mom Must Have Dropped You on Your Head"
2007-08-27 08:46:00 I listen to music mostly through my Rhapsody service, which streams just about any album I want through my computer for a modest monthly fee. But some albums just aren't available because of licensing issues, so you have to buy them if you want to hear them. Such is the case with the High School Musical 2 soundtrack. Although I so deeply desire to sing and dance in my underwear to these songs, I am unable to pull the trigger and spend the $8.99. So I'm listening to the 30-second samples that Rhapsody makes available over and over again in the hope that that will be enough to send me into a Zefrontastic frenzy.I mean, how can I spend even a penny on a company that inspires tween fanaticism and rage, as demonstrated by the latest comments on my infamous guest blog, High School Musical 2: Chock Full of Gay (errors included):if u didnt like it who cares nobody gives a crap what u think so why dont u do us all a favor and take ur negativity and shove it up ur ass.

2007-08-23 20:53:00 My unwittingly "controversial" post, High School Musical 2: Chock Full of Gay, over on AOL's QueerSighted blog is propelling absurdity to new, delightful, and frightening extremes:1.) It has drawn more than 1,600 comments (so far) from mostly angry tweenyboppers, teenagers, and parents, making it one of the most responded to posts in the history of the blogosphere and redefining the term "the decline of Western civilization."2.) It was re-posted on a bunch of kids' MySpace pages; reported about on USA Today's entertainment blog, as well as other blogs; drew 200+ comments on LiveJournal's Ohnotheydidn't community board; and got picked up by Fark.com, where they've got their own little discussion going on.3.) It was talked about and quoted from this morning on the Kevin & Bean show on KROQ in Los Angeles (thanks for the tip, Bread and Bread).4.)

But I will give you one gem that some guy put up earlier today:when i figure out where you live i'm going to shove my school's flag pole up your ass!!Since I haven't really posted a real response to the nasty comments, people have been wondering if I'm offended by them or enjoying them.

The Button Boy
2007-08-21 20:36:00 Kyle is our little 'Button Boy'. If there is a button to be pushed, whether physical or metaphorical, sooner or later he is going to push it. Remote controls, re-dial buttons on the phone, the start button on the dishwasher that was almost through the dry cycle, the re-boot button on the computer... Doesn't matter. All are doomed to be poked by the teeny-tiny and perpetually sticky index finger of our 16-month-old. As a result, we have showered him with a myriad of the world's most annoying toys in a futile attempt at keeping his inquisitive little mitts occupied. This has led to an alarming escalation in our non-prescription pharmaceutical purchases of the headache-relief variety. For those of you who have ever wondered what life with the two-and-under set is like, read on...Note:If you wish to fully comprehend the experience, keep this in mind when reading the words that follow: The voice ringing through your head should be like that of a bi-polar cheerleader in an acute phase... |
