Well, well, well, it seems Friday night when J got here, the Mistress decided we would take it easy before a early morning get up to head to Atlantic City, so I noticed Burlesque came out On Demand and Netflix, so we watched it as I had wanted to see it. Can I tell you how pleasantly surprised I was with it? I had heard bad things about it, but I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed it! Now, it wasn't a major film with a message, or Oscar material, or even a major blockbuster. I though it was a very light, feel good movie, and very entertaining. Christina Aguilera did a good job acting for a first role I thought, and she looked incredible in the flick! I don't think I ever saw her look better and could she ever use those pipes to belt it out! Check her out in these pics! Stunning!
The story line was cute and light, and the repore between Cher and Christina as club owner and performer was very well done. The handsome Eric Dane, and the sexy and adorable Cam Gigandet were very nice eye candy and added to the movie. And how can you not enjoy them? With those two, and the Mistress, it's a menage a troi waiting to happen!And even Stanley Tucci was his fun shelf. And again, Christina's voice gave me chills several times, and she blew the number A Guy That Takes His Time out of the water! I have the Mae West version on a vinyl( don't ask how,long story) and she sounds just like Mae in her young years. Check out talented Christina performing the number. This was my chills scene. This scene alone makes the Mistress want to do Burlesque !!!! Faaaaaaabulous!
I'm soooooo getting this movie's soundtrack! So did any of you see it? I would love to hear your opinions.
Haven't seen the movie but yeah, what a great old song, eh?
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with what you post here! I just saw it and thought it was pretty good! Christina should have gotten way more credit! She was pretty good!
ReplyDeleteXtina looked so damn good in this movie! And her singing was right on with the time periods. She carried the movie and out acted Cher! I like cher, but she was out acted!
ReplyDeleteI love Cher but this was Not her best role.But I have to agree the movie was better than I thought too and the music was great! I so need to do some of this in a routine!
ReplyDeleteLike you I liked it for what it was: fun and frothy, with lots of man candy.
ReplyDeleteAnd Cher!
now kabuki will go and see it. check out The Pontani Sisters out of Coney Island. A authentic burlesque act with a burlesque workout video. They are some of kabuki's fave girlfriends. Not that Mistress needs to work out, just thought you might like the moves.
ReplyDeleteYea, I'd say that number has the Mistress written all over it! I have seen it but friends say it was as bad as they said it was. I want to see it.
ReplyDeleteActually all the reviews that I have read for Burlesque are positive and put down claims that it's like Showgirls and say it's more like Chicago and that Christina was amazing in it. I am seeing it this weekend.
ReplyDeleteWell I saw it and LOVED IT! It was a feel good movie. And I'm not a fan of Christina, but I loved her style os singing in this movie. Honestly, I like it better than any other movie for pure entertainment value. I give it 9 of 10 stars (on my rating scale)! Some critics take fun movies way too seriously.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great movie package; with good action, great acting, funny scenes, unpredictable parts and totally awesome ending. Not to mention Christina's excellent vocals! Wet Sunday afternoons will not be as depressing with this in your collection
ReplyDeleteLove it girl and I could see the Mistress doing these numbers!!! And Cam, ohhhhhhhhhhh girl, is his nude scene not THE BEST PART! No, this movie is definitely an inception. It did not disappointed me at all
ReplyDeleteHi!! Great blog! I must say that it maybe wasn't the best movie I have ever seen, but for me it was definitely a thrill ride. 4 stars out of 5, from me. This people worked really hard on this, and it really became something beautiful. You can almost feel they all had fun while making it too.
ReplyDeleteFor me, this film is spectacular! I didn't want to move from my sit until it ends. Cher was alright, but the music has had me engrossed ever since.
ReplyDeleteI would agree with you Mistress!This movie is truly gift to all funs of this genre. I don't care where the creature came from, I just liked the way it is filmed and Christia and the music was very memorable and catching! I too loved the Mae West number!
ReplyDeleteWell I have seen it yet.....but maybe soon! I hear the music and her singing is incredible.
ReplyDeleteAlready have the film and the soundtrack. Christina KILLED this movie and knocked it out of the park. This has the Mistress all over it.
ReplyDeleteCAM GIGANDET WAS ALL I COULD SEE...LMAO, but the movie was brilliant. Damn i didn't expect christina to act so well!
ReplyDeleteNot yet... but I heard mention of "lots of man candy"! Need I say more???
ReplyDeleteI liked it too! I would def watch it again!
