Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Chicago (2002)

Good…possibly great! The screen crackled with vibrancy and everyone just threw themselves into it. I've never been much of a Catherine Zeta Jones fan, but she won me over here -- she was absolutely stunning. John C. Reilly, once again taking a small role and performing the hell out of it (in the most non-showy of ways) was so impressive. Who knew these people could sing? Renee Zellweger was fine, but was almost eclipsed by the sheer brilliance around her.

All hail the return of the musical!
