Yeah, I know... shame on me! :) I loved "Memoirs of a Geisha". Despite it was 'soapy', I thought it was gripping and visually breathtaking, although I hated the fact that in a movie about geishas, half of the cast are chinese and they spoke English at all times. It didn't feel very authentic :) I agree about Rob's movies - they are mostly beautiful on the outside , but empty within.George Beremov [Nebular]https://www.blogger.com/profile/15136154142341512854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8902350714271321235.post-8721790990877597292010-04-18T10:22:50.917-07:002010-04-18T10:22:50.917-07:00I must admit, I never expected much from this movi...I must admit, I never expected much from this movie. Rob Marshall has proven many times before (CHICAGO, MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA) that he has a flawless visual style, but cold and frigid directorial vision. His movie have visual beauty but no heart and soul. And I agree with you, Neb, that I would never pay to see Daniel Day Lewis sing :))DEZMONDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14127166104359407763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8902350714271321235.post-30022013046627690902010-04-18T05:29:27.378-07:002010-04-18T05:29:27.378-07:00I don't care what Yeston won for his "Nin...I don't care what Yeston won for his "Nine" songs, because most of them really didn't sound that great. I don't blame him for that! I think the problem is THE PERFORMANCES and the performers. Day-Lewis, in particular, is a great actor, but terrible singer. And it showed. On the other hand, Marion Cotillard did GREAT with the singing and performing. <br />Thanks for the comment.George Beremov [Nebular]https://www.blogger.com/profile/15136154142341512854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8902350714271321235.post-48052063881301209782010-04-16T08:40:12.004-07:002010-04-16T08:40:12.004-07:00Maury Yeston, composer of the songs of NINE, won a...Maury Yeston, composer of the songs of NINE, won a Tony Award (Broadway "Oscar") for his score when the musical first went onstage in NYC. The idea that these songs are "instantly forgettable" is purely this critic's personal opinion, and have nothing to do with the facts. Yeston is a highly respected composer; the songs do what they're supposed to do, which is open up characters. Sorry -- no cigar.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
