Well, I saw DREAMGIRLS tonight.
I really liked it - didn't love it. I thought Hudson did a nice job. I just wasn't a fan of the music. And I love the Mowtown sound and all the music from that era. This just felt like 2 white guys wrote it. There was very little soul in the music and I was a bit dissapointed in that. I think it was a bit too jumpy. Seems like it took place in the span of 20 years, I would say. I think the progression from what they were to what they became was just very spaztic.
Wasn't a big fan of Eddie Murphy in this. I see where he went, but I just kept seeing "Buddy Love" from the Nutty Professor films. But, I will say, and someone mentioned this on the radio, there is a scene where he's "finished" and he breaks out the coke - everyone in the room leaves and he just gives this very honest look to the CC character. IT was just a great look and I'm sure that's the scene we'll see on Oscar night.
