I do not know anything about glam or glitter rock. I'm still sort of confused after watching it.. Mix in all those UFOs and Oscar Wilde and sparkling and cross-dressing rockers, I'm confused as ever. Hehe. I watched this out of curiosity because I watched August Rush again (hello Jonathan Rhys Meyers). He has a GREAT voice, by the way. I also didn't know he was so young in this film. Oh and the music was amazing.
It was distracting to see Jonathan Rhys Meyers (as Brian Slade) all feminine and glittery but since his performance was amazing, it kinda outweighed the fact that he's a promiscuous glam rocker. Even when he was dressed up in those skin-tight leotards, spandex or whatever, he looks sort of hot. :o
Ewan McGregor. Eh. The only thing I liked about him in the film is his funky resemblance to Kurt Cobain. His singing was horrible, in my humble opinion. I'd rather hear him belt out love songs from Moulin Rouge than attempt to "rock out". His infamous "flashing the crowd" scene was... umm.. never mind. AAAAANND as for Christian Bale.. My eyes! Actually, the fact that Bale was wearing hideous eye make-up (I *think* most of the time) was one of the reasons why I didn't like it. Aww. However, the Brian/Curt kiss was pretty intense. lol.
There are a lot of great songs in the soundtrack. My favorite song from the soundtrack would probably be "Ballad of Maxwell Demon". I wish they included Jonathan Rhys Meyer's version though. Special mention: "Baby's On Fire". Love that song.

Hmm.. It was ok. I'm bound to compare it to the Korean version but it was ok. Elisha Cuthbert lacked the spunk of that Korean actress (whoops forgot her name). But at least Jesse Bradford is 10000x cuter than that fug actor in the original Korean version.
Too bad this will be a straight-to-dvd release in the US. It isn't that bad if you haven't watched the original... I think. I was sort of disappointed because it's directed by Yann Samuell, the director of Jeux d'Enfants. It has a similar feel but no magic.
I need to watch this again before I write anything else. Hehe. I'll give it another chance!! omg!

Guy's dad dies. Guy goes out of control. Steals his dad's ashes. Crashes the car. Goes to a rehabilitation center. Guy is in denial, claims he has no problem or mental issues. Guy falls in love with a sort of insane girl. Guy befriends insane/shy/quiet guy. Spoiler: Insane/shy/quiet guy kills himself. Guy is depressed about it, but life moves on.
I haven't watched a lot of movies that took place in rehab centers, but Girl, Interrupted was better. Hehe. So basically, it was ok. Nothing spectacular with the story. Although, Cillian Murphy was so cute. His hat/head gear whatever was cute. And Cillian wearing pajamas! Hahaha!
I only bought this because the dvd was on sale and CILLIAN MURPHY IS IN IT. He's creepy-hot. I think I need to watch this again though. Smashing Pumpkins in the soundtrack deserves plus points!

Good, actually. The set was amazing. Watching Hitchcock movies reminds me of Universal Studios. Yah! I think I need to watch this again before I write anything else. Ooh.

I think this was recommended to me because this movie was like the first romantic comedy. And it was alright :D I was extremely entertained by the slapstick actions and jokes. The storyline was a bit too far-fetched... well too silly! I guess that's why it's called slapstick/screwball.
And what's up with the leopard? Haha!
I loved Katherine Hepburn in this film. I thought she only did serious roles.
And I was really surprised to see a geeky, cute, and uptight Cary Grant.
The movie was too long though. I thought some scenes should have ended sooner. But I think that the length of the film was normal during the early decades of Hollywood.
I think I need to watch this again.
