Welcome to our blog! Here you will find our opinions on the movies we see...and, we see a lot of them! We are not professional movie critics, just movie lovers! Although, who wouldn't love to get paid to watch movies?? That would be the ultimate dream job (she says :) We also write these at different times, so we don't "play" off one another.

Burlesque
Ok. So the last movie we saw was Burlesque at the dollar movies. I'm not sure how to do our format, and I'm sure we will tweak it, but I'm guessing Deano will give his opinion first, then I will...since it is he said, she said.
He said: he's gotta call me back (he's not here)...but, I can tell you that he liked the movie, too...but, he thought the lighting was horrible! (really, who looks at that stuff, right??) well, he does and he thought the apartment was always too dark....I just said, "maybe they didn't pay their bill!" Also, he really thinks Christina can belt it out....but, when I hear from him, and get his actual quote, I'll post a revised answer!!
She said: I really liked this movie! And man, can Christina sing!! And, it didn't hurt that one of my favorite actors, Stanley Tucci, was in it either :) I don't really remember any cuss words (although, i wasn't watching it with my kids, so I wouldn't cringe when I heard them), and, surprisingly, not any nudity (that you could actually see anything). There was a lot of skin showing though. I thought the story was good and it was basically a "feel good" movie. I would recommend it!
He said: This is straight from the horses mouth, now..so, here it goes... I really enjoyed this movie, not my typical movie but it was well done. PamO said it right, the lighting was too dark for my taste. She was wrong about the language. There were two F Words and several other uses of not so nice words. The singing was simply amazing, both Cher and Christina made it seem simple. The love story angle was a little weak to me, and I didn't feel they explored enough of the relationship between the two " room mates" There was plenty of skin but no real nudity in the movie. I would recommend seeing this movie if you like music, but would shy away from letting younger teens see it because of the language. ( thats a personal decision ) Grade B-
