No New Movies

I've been so busy lately that I have not been able to go see any new movies. To be honest there's really not any good movies out right now anyway. I might go see Definitely, Maybe, but I just haven't had any spare time. So, today I will discuss the play The Phantom of the Opera. It seemed the right thing to do considering I am listening to the soundtrack right now. I saw The Phantom of the Opera about a month ago at Kentucky Center for the Arts. It was so amazing that I went out and bought the soundtrack. I had never seen it on the stage, but I saw the movie a few years ago. The movie just doesn't do it justice, as is with pretty much any play turned into a film. You can see a movie over and over again and it will always be the same, but theatre is a once in a lifetime experience. A play is unique every time it is performed. Back to the point, The Phantom of the Opera was really incredible. That moment when the chandelier is first revealed made me jump out my seat. My only two problems with it are: our seats were really far away (which of course is not the fault of the play) and the Phantom seemed a little short. I realize this sounds very superficial, but, what can I say, it bothered me. Other than that, it was a wonderful experience.

Arrested Development: The Movie

In case you don't already know, Arrested Development is one of the funniest TV shows ever created. Unfortunately, it was canceled after just three seasons. Obviously, this was an outrage, however I have learned to accept it considering the cancelation occurred several years ago. Now, there is talk of an Arrested Development movie. Apparently, all of the original cast and a production company has already signed on to the idea. Of course, the movie is not set in stone at this point; however, I can't help but get excited just at the thought of it. Anyway, Arrested Development stars Jason Bateman, Portia de Rossi, Will Arnett, Michael Cera, Jeffery Tambor, David Cross, and it is narrated by Ron Howard. All three seasons are for sale, so check it out!
