Dreamgirls
Every one of the stars I have rated goes to Jennifer Hudson. Without her being in the movie, her fantastic voice and sassy character, I wouldn't have enjoyed the movie. She totally overshadowed Beyonce both with her singing ability and character. She is a real talent and moved me to tears twice. The talky-singing stuff was quite cringe worthy and in my opinion did not do the movie any favours. Beyonce of course looked stunning on occasions but not so much on others, less is more when it comes to make up she looks far more like a movie star when she is a little under-done.
On the whole, a good movie, but only due to Jennifer's four big performances! -

Dreamgirls lulls to sleep
Dreamgirls is a cross between a bad opera with all the tragedy and crass exaggerated emotionality and a musical with all the farce and shallow comedy. At every step of the way you could see what was going to happen, there was no suspense, the story line was simplistic, and the characters ill defined and unsympathetic.
The lack of story line was not compensated for by good music or singing, the songs were screamed, or half hearted, and the whole film was a cut and paste attempt to tell a story and demonstrate any talent.
We struggled to get to the end, and succeeded by having our own intermission and the persisting with it in the hopes that it could only get better, but frankly, there were no goood numbers and nothing to enjoy about it.
Sorry folks, not a film to remember. -

Top designer Stuart Weitzman has decided to give his famous Million Dollar Shoe the boot at the Oscars for the second year running - thanks to the continued global economic downturn. Each year, Weitzman personally sizes and crafts a special jewelled shoe for one lucky up-and-coming lady to wear to the Academy Awards. But the tradition was halted for 2009 due to the recession and Weitzman has chosen to keep the diamonds on ice for the 2010 ceremony too. He tells the New York Post's gossip... Read more
