Dragula
Very Good 17 Points 2014

Intrigued by a cast that included Rob Riggle, Missi Pyle, and Carmen Elektra, I gave Frank Meli’s Dragula a watch. It was a quirky but well done movie that spruces up the same-old coming of age theme with a Broadway flashiness and humor that you’ll enjoy.

Dreamgirls
Very Good 17 Points 2006

Beyonce, Jaimie Foxx, Eddie Murphy, Danny Glover, Jennifer Hudson – need I add more? There were more. A terrific cast did a great job of giving us a glimpse into the life of soul-sisters in the 60’s. It was a little weird seeing Eddie Murphy singing like James Brown, but the unexpected musical …

Funny Girl
Very Good 17 Points 1968

I finally did it; I watched a Barbara Streisand classic. I’m not normally a fan of old school musicals, but the Bronx beauty was mesmerizing; the classic charm, humor, and blow ‘em away voice kept me hooked.

The Ballad of B...
Very Good 17 Points 2018

Vignettes from the west from the Cohen brothers; a grand mixture of odd characters, dark humor, and short stories reminiscent of Edgar Allan Poe

The Sound of Music
Great 23 Points 1965

The Sound of Music is one of those iconic films that everyone should see. Perhaps for some, it will entail some suffering through 60’s era cliches and life-glossed-over portrayals, but it does entertain. Julie Andrews was in her prime and Christopher Plummer is the happiest you’ll ever see of h…

Great 91 Points 2007

Who’da thunk the best Beatles movie wouldn’t star the Beatles? OK, not the best Beatles movie, but as great a Beatles movie as one could hope for not starring the Beatles, which is pretty damn great. Really.

Across the Universe is arguably the best movie about the Sixties, unarguably set t…

Shock Treatment
Great 10 Points 1981

You need a little OOHH shock treatment!! This is an unknown little movie. It just happens to be the sequel to my favorite movie of all time- The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Yep, this is the sequel, and for a bit more of fun facts, there was originally a third one planned called "Revenge of the Old…

The Sapphires
Great 66 Points 2012

Sweet soul music forms the soundtrack of this infectiously enjoyable Australian musical-comedy. Telling the truthy tale of four black girls from Down Under who performed American soul music for U.S. GIs and Marines in Vietnam, The Sapphires tickles, touches and torches in equal measure.

Funny Face
Great 66 Points 1957

Audrey Hepburn is the spoon-full-of-sugar who makes the cultural imperialism go down in Funny Face. Stanley Donen’s musical – done Broadway style – is an intoxicating Vogue-tini, a Size 0 fashion fantasy.

Richard Avedon famously created the opening titles, which are perfectly high fashion. …

Pal Joey
Great 66 Points 1957

Frank Sinatra won a Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Comedy or Musical as the womanizing nightclub singer in Pal Joey. Sandwiched between the glamorous Rita Hayworth and the luscious Kim Novak, he’s at his lounge-lizard best in this mid-century paean to pre-liberation sexual politics. It’s a wh…
