MOVIES ... very good ones

THE  RECENT  "FAST AND FURIOUS #6"

IS  THE  ONLY  ONE  OF  THE  SERIES  I'VE  SEEN.  IT  WAS  INDEED  FAST  AND  FURIOUS ..... LOTS  OF  ACTION,  SPEEDING CARS  AND  A  WHOLE  LOT  MORE  IF  YOU  LIKE  A  BAD  GUY/'GOOD GUY  TYPE  OF  MOVIE  THAT  IS  WITH  STUNTS  SO  FAR OUT,  IT  IS  REALLY  SCIENCE  FICTION.  VERY  LITTLE  BAD  LANGUAGE  AND  PROFANITY  IN  IT,  HENCE  MADE  IT  ENJOYABLE,  SOME  OF  THE  ACTION  MOVIES  OF  LATE  HAVE  BEEN  BAD  FOR  THE  LANGUAGE  USED.  SO  GOING  IN  TO  THIS  MOVIE  I  WAS  NOT  SURE  HOW  THE  LANGUAGE  WOULD  BE,  BUT  VERY  LITTLE  BAD  LANGUAGE.

YES  A  NAIL-BITER  IN  PARTS,  AND  IT  LOOKS  LIKE  A  7TH  ONE  IS  NOT  IT'S  WAY  SOMEDAY.
......

DO  YOU  LIKE  THE  CIRCUS?  IF  YOU  DO  THEN  "CIRQUE  du  SOLEIL - Worlds  Away"  is  as  it  says  on  the  front  cover  of  the  DVD  "A GORGEOUS  MOVIE"  -  FROM  JAMES  CAMERON  AND  ANDREW  ADAMSON,  THE  VISIONARY  FILMMAKERS  BEHIND  "AVATR"  AND  "SHREK."

YES  A  VISUAL  TREAT  INDEED.

WALMART  SHOULD  HAVE  IT.

VERY  FINE  FOR  THE  WHOLE  FAMILY.
......

"THERE'S  NO  BUSINESS  LIKE  SHOW  BUSINESS"  1954  FROM  TWENTIETH CENTURY  FOX.

GREAT  COLOR  AND  SONGS.

STARING:  MARILYN  MONROE;  ETHEL  MERMAN;  DONALD  O'CONNOR;  DAN  DAILEY;  MITZI  GAYNOR  AND  JONNIE  RAY.

A  WHOLE  BUNCH  OF  TALENT  FROM  THE  ABOVE  STARS.

YES  A  GREAT  MUSICAL  IN  MY  MIND,  THOUGH  THEY  SAY  IT  WAS  NOT  TAKEN  THAT  WAY  WHEN  IT  CAME  OUT  IN  1954.  BUT  MOVIE  CRITICS  FOR  ME  ARE  OFTEN  OUT  IN  LEFT  FIELD  WITH  THEIR  REVIEWS.

IF  YOU  LIKE  MUSICALS  AS  I  DO,  THEN  THIS  ONE  SHOULD  BE  IN  YOUR  COLLECTION.  THEY  SAY  MARILYN  HAD  TO  WORK  EXTRA  HARD  IN  THIS  ONE  TO  BE  ON  PAR  WITH  THE  OTHER  TALENTED  LEADING  PEOPLE.  BUT  SHE  DID  IT......AND  SO  SHOWS  SHE  WAS  TALENTED  INDEED,  WELL  JUST  AS  SHE  DID  IN  "GENTLEMEN  PREFER  BONDS"  WITH  JANE  RUSSELL.  STILL  BLOWS  ME  AWAY  THAT  IN  THAT  MOVIE  IT  IS  SAID  MARILYN  WAS  ONLY  GETTING  1/10  OF  THE  PAY  THAT  JANE  RUSSELL  WAS  GETTING.  THEY  STILL  HADN'T  DECIDED  IF  MARILYN  WAS  MORE  THAN  JUST  A  PRETTY  FACE  AND  DUMB  SEXY BLOND.  WELL  SHE  DID  EVENTUALLY  SHOW  THEM  HOW  MISTAKEN  AND  SILLY  THEY  WERE.  SHE'S  NOW  GIVEN  THE  TITLE  OF  THE  MOST  FAMOUS  MOVIE  STAR  OF  ALL  TIME.....EVEN  50  PLUS  YEARS  AFTER  HER  DEATH.  THERE  SHE  IS  ON  THE  NEW  CALENDARS  THAT  COME  OUT  FOR  THE  NEXT  YEAR,  EVERY  NOVEMBER/DECEMBER.

AS  SHE  SAID  HERSELF,  "I  NEVER  DID  ANYTHING  VULGAR  IN  A  MOVIE."  AND  MY  THAT  IS  SO  TRUE,  NOTHING  ANYWHERE  NEAR  WHAT  SOME  DO  TODAY,  AND  SHE  NEVER  USED  ANY  BAD  LANGUAGE  OR  PROFANITY  EITHER,  BUT  THOSE  WERE  ALSO  DIFFERENT  HOLLYWOOD  DAYS  BACK  THEN.  YET  FROM  WHAT  I'VE  READ  IF  SHE  WAS  IN  THIS  AGE  OF  HOLLYWOOD,  SHE  STILL  WOULD  NOT  DO  ANYTHING  VULGAR  OR  USE  BAD  LANGUAGE  LIKE  SOME  DO TODAY.
MARILYN  HAD  THAT  RARE  QUALITY  THAT  IN  A  SCENE  LARGE  OR  SMALL,  SHE  STOLE  IT,  ALL  EYES  GO  TO  HER,  THERE  WAS  A  MAGNETISM  ABOUT  HER  THAT  JUST  STANDING  THERE,  AND  SAYING  NOTHING,  YOU  WERE  DRAWN  TO  HER.  AND  CAN  YOU  BELIEVE  SOME  CRAZY  PRODUCERS  AT  THE  BEGINNING  OF  HER  CAREER  TURNED  HER  DOWN  BECAUSE  THEY  SAID  SHE  WAS  NOT  "PHOTOGENIC"  -  I  MEAN  HOW  STUPID  CAN  YOU  BE;  BOY  WERE  THEY  EVER  MADE  TO  LOOK  DUMB  AND  FROM  PLANET  PLUTO.

WELL  "THERE'S  NO  BUSINESS  LIKE  SHOW  BUSINESS"  IS  A  FINE  MUSICAL  NO  MATTER  WHAT  THE  CRITICS  HAVE  TO  SAY.
