That's for The Piano, a movie I loved, but still this woman is SPOT on.

Check out the archives and she also wrote a recent one for The Phantom of the Opera which is HILARIOUS.

Cheers, mates!

OK the Phantom review is freaking hilarious!!!!

Some nice quotes:

"Fade up: Old Gross Raoul wheels his geriatric self into the Opera House and buys a monkey with cymbals. We get it; you’re Liberace."

"The Phantom sings about how he will make Christine totally famous if she sleeps with him, and a million moviegoers realize suddenly that this movie is about 1) Stockholm Syndrome and 2) Webber’s life story."

"Christine steps out in bridal white and asks, hilariously, “Am I now to be prey to your lust for flesh?” The Phantom delivers a truly priceless facial expression here. It is the absolute physical embodiment of the phrase, “Well, duh.”"

I love it!

There is nothing better than funny movie reviews. Sometimes I get pleasure out of reading a funny review for a bad movie than I do watching said bad movie itself.

ZZzzzzzzzzzap!

Yes! He *totally* looks like her.

Also, the girlie shirts Raoul and the Phantom were wearing that were SO like Bowie's shirt in Labyrinth.
