Oh my god! Hepburn is really "loverly" here! Another wonderful and enjoyable musical! The songs and the melody are memorable. |

Cabaret (1972, PG)
One will always wonder how can this one beat Godfather and grasp 8 Academy Awards in 1972. But really, Cabaret deserves the honour, especially for Bob Fosse and Liza Minelli. Although it is not as moving as Moulin Rouge! or as funny as Chicago, it is still a milestone (it's in the 1970s!) in the genre of musicals. Those songs and dances are just amazingly enjoyable. Just don't miss it please! |

Moulin Rouge! (2001, PG-13)
I will regard this as a musical version of Shakespeare in Love. The songs and dancings are really really appealing. Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman deliver remarkable performances as a pair of endearing lovers. Some plot elements may sound stupid and rustic, but the tagline "The show must go on" with the sorrowful ending will make this a immortal musical! I really can't help weeping for it! |

Chicago (2002, PG-13)
Musicals appear in a form of story telling. The dancings and singings are undoubtedly good. Some are very funny, like Richard Gere's puppet singing. Yet, the song I like most is "Funny Honey", Renée Zellweger is really funny! Please, it deserves the Oscar!!! |
