The characters of the movie made the movie itself......
8 April 2005
I wasn't a fan of the Phantom of the Opera. But, when I saw the making of the movie a few months back, I was stunned by beautiful sets and the mesmerizing voices of the characters.

When I started watching the film, I hoped that it won't be boring. But when the old and dusty theater started to go back in its new and shiny look, I knew that I was going to be in for a ride. I won't like the film if it isn't for the characters and their voices.

Emmy Rossum did her role well. Her acting wasn't that memorable, but she still did justice to the character of Christine. Her voice isn't that strong, but it's forgivable since Christine was just 16 during those times. Her face is so expressive in certain scenes that you will just fall in love with her in a snap.

Patrick Wilson's character in the movie is really easy to forget. When you are tasked to be Raoul, then prepare to annoy a lot of people. For the fans of the Phantom out there, you will hate Raoul. But, for women out there who easily fall in love, then you will love him. Anyways, Patrick still did a wonderful job of being that character. Nice voice!

Ah.....the star of the show. Gerard Butler. When we first see him in the shadows, listening to Cristine's singing, we will feel in advance the mysterious aura of the phantom. You will have mixed emotions towards the phantom. I didn't know if I should hate him or like him. But, at the end, you will know the answer. Anyway, three thumbs up to Gerard Butler for being such a wonderful phantom. I didn't even know you can sing! Great job. It wont be great without him.

Great sets, check. Wonderful acting, check. Superb voices, check. Awesome music, check, check, check.

Watch the movie! Other people's harsh reviews aren't important. What matters is that you like it. Enjoy!

Bootmen (2000)
Proves that tap dancing should be appreciated.
30 May 2004
This movie received some bad reviews by many people. Some think that the dancing was horrible. I do respect all of their opinions for I know that the movie has plenty of weaknesses. But, I failed to notice them all because you can't help but admire the dancing done by men in Bootmen.

It seems that the movie will do well if it's turned into a soap. The story seemed to be taken from those shows. But, if you can see through those flaws, you will find Bootmen a very enjoying movie. What Bootmen? Well, don't picture some men in tuxedos and carrying some sticks while tap dancing. The characters of the movie are not so lovable but I can assure you that you'll like them in the end! They wear boots instead of tap shoes. They wear your ordinary clothes instead of tuxedos.

Trust me, give the movie a try and I'm sure that the performance will knock your socks off. Please.
