It has been a long time since I have been so wonderfully surprised by a movie. Of course, I had to go see it since it took place in my favorite city in the world!! While recently in Paris, we stopped to take a photo opportunity in front of the famous Red Windmill . There we were, in the midst of scores of tourists, taking pictures in front of the night club on the sleazy street, surrounded by peep shows and strip clubs in Montmarte. But since we had been inundated by early press releases about the upcoming movie, we thought it would be fun to get a photo in front of the landmark. When we...

Preamble Let's get this straight. I don't like musicals. Grease? Sure, it had its time and place. The Music Man? High school fodder for David Cassidy wannabees. And then there's Moulin Rouge. (Insert dramatic pause here). Either musicals have progressed significantly OR Baz Luhrmann has a great one on his hands. The End There are many of you that really want to see a movie but don't even want to read a full review until AFTER you've seen it. You want to experience it without anything being given away. I want you to see this movie therefore, I am moving "The End" up to the top :). This movie...

In the beginning we see a red curtain. In front of the red curtain we see the image of a man conducting the music we are hearing with what can only be described as reckless abandon. The curtain, the orchestra pit, and the flickering of the projection light all lead us to visions of the early days of Hollywood. Movies from the thirties and forties which had as their main objective simple entertainment. Movies that weren t even sure what movies were yet, and as in films of The Marx Brothers and such, films that had stage productions built into them because that s what entertainment was at the...

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love, and to be loved in return." Words to live by, and a lesson that must be learned in the duration of the film Moulin Rouge . Baz Luhrmann took a step out into the unknown, and was given the money to make a musical centered around a night club in 1900's France. The premise of the film would be based around the music, and have characters that would go through all the stages of love. Having not directed a film since Romeo

With my somewhat... shall we say... conservative... tastes in movies and books, it came as somewhat of a surprise to me the other day that I would even consider sitting down and watching Moulin Rouge, much less buying it on DVD. Yet, that's exactly what I did. What came as even a bigger surprise to me is that I liked it. I liked it a lot. That's not to say that Moulin Rouge didn't take a bit of getting used to. Five minutes into the film and I felt my senses being bombarded with frenetic, over-the-top, somewhat hard to follow (and swallow) scenes. "Geez," I kept thinking to myself, "how much..
