Les Miserables made me Miserable

I was so looking forward to seeing this movie as soon as I heard it was being filmed.  Christmas day cam and I felt so disappointed I felt like I knew I was getting a Lamborghini opening it and finding a beaten up old banger. 

 What really made the movie bad was Russell Crowe.  He can sing but he is not right for the role his voice wasn’t strong enough and he ruined Stars, one of the best songs in the show.

The song When Tomorrow Comes really wasn’t that emotional either.  I can listen to my CD or watch the concert version and still get goose bumps but not in the movie version did it happen.

On the positives, Anne Hathaway was awesome and Hugh Jackman can do no wrong in my eyes and Samantha Parks was divine (a role that was very nearly played by a friend of mine Miriam Pultro).

Fun times once again with Helena Bonham Carter she plays the insane woman just a little too well.  (On a side note I couldn’t believe the resemblance with her in THIS picture and my friend MISSY  (only have her first name because I can't spell let alone pronounce her last namd) in Sweeney Todd. (Which incedentially was played by Helena Bonham Carter) Note I didn’t post the pictures here as I didn’t get permission to post them on my site.  Missy can play the insane one a little too well as well.  Off on a tangent but pick up her CD she is a funny woman.

 Ok so I digress, I actually was having more fun listening to the two women either side of me.  One who knew nothing about the storyline was squealing and shocked when the characters were being killed off and the chickie on my other side was bawling all the way though the movie and belting out the songs and she couldn’t sing.

Things I learnt about going to the movies on Christmas day:

1.  I didn't realize so many people went on Chrismas day.

2. Popcorn is still way to expensive in the movie theater.  Time to sneak some in.

3. I need to wear a top that doesn't have my girlies give me too much cleavage and hides popcorn in my top.
