Movie Reviews..

Dreamgirls.

Some movies I've watched recently.

A typical rags to riches story on how 3 girls started of as backup singers for a superstar, later superceded becoming superstars of their own. A story how the colored race trying to make it big in white dominant industry at that time. It is broadway style, meaning it has a lot of singing and dancing.

What amuses me , is that they even sing when they are quarrelling.

I give it 3/5 bananas.

300


A action-packed, computer graphics movie about King Leonidas bring along his 300 spartans to defend Sparta after failing to get support from his council for more soldiers, to stop the invading 170,000 army of King Xerxes of Persia.

Very entertaining. A lot of nice choreographed fighting moves that proves beyong reasonable doubt that the spartans are the best warriors of their time. And ladies and gays will be very much entertain by the feast of eight-packs , almost naked men fighting. Guys will be entertained by the action pack fighting scenes and not to leave out the steamy scenes. :)

Soupland thought it will be a great word "300" to describe a person who is a hero yet stupid. For eg, asking the boss not to smoke in front of you...etc.

" wah, you the very 300 !!!"

I enjoyed it. 4/5 bananas.

Stomp the Yard



A story on how a Dance battle gone wrong got DJ's brother got killed. To make matters worse, he got wrongfully convicted but got aquitted in the end.

Starting over a new leaf, he went to live with his uncle and aunt to study in a Black University, to realise his brother's dream. The university he is attending is crazy about stepping, a kind of dance, where members of the frat partake.

This show is plain cheesy and childish. Reminds me of myself in secondary school. How childish is university seniors and freshman, engage in stupid cheers, sabo and etc

I give it 1/5 banana.

Music and Lyrics



Story about a 70's superstar from the group POP, Alex trying to make a come back. He is only a favorite among the hot mamas now. He got his chance for a comeback when the current popular singer Cora ask him to compose a song to express her feelings when she broke up with a 2 month old boyfriend...duh !!!

Alex is good at melody, but is hopeless on writing the lyrics. Sophie , started of as Alex's plant girl caught his attention at her naturally talented skill of putting words that rhyme together hence she becomes Alex lyricist.

A funny romantic feel good movie with only one nice catchy song.

I give it 3/5 bananas.
