That's Chicago
Once again, a very mediocre movie has won the Academy Award for Best Picture. I went and saw Chicago last night, and I have to say, I enjoyed it. There was a lot of fun stuff in it...the music and dancing were great. But does this make a great movie? Absolutely not. There was no message to the film. The acting was ok (I still hate Richard Gere). The cinematography was passable. The script was a joke. For there to be fabulous films out there like Lord of the Rings and Gangs of New York and this movie to beat them out is pathetic. That's what makes me mad. If Chicago had not won Best Picture, I would have liked it much, much more. But to be perfectly blunt, I'll take Moulin Rouge every day of the week and eleventy billion times on Sundays.
