Memphis The Musical or In The Heights would be good ones for you. Memphis was filmed LIVE and is on Netflix.

Agreed. He was handsome and masculine. It was very appealing, but then he is always that way.

Did you ever see so many people working so hard to make you like a movie. The intensity, the agony, the over wrought faces and especially the over wrought singing from some people who can't even sing.

I think, like many stage musicals brought to the screen, it lacked the immediacy and energy of the stage production. All the elements were there, it was just okay. Anna Hathaway was wonderful, as was Samantha Barks who was excellent in the sad role. I also noticing that Aaron Tveit is not getting much attention - I thought he was rather good. And HOT!

Les Miz?
So we've just come back from a showing of Les Miserables.
Has anyone else seen it?
PS. this can probably get moved to entertainment.
I have to say. It was a really interesting interpretation.

When you say really interesting interpretation, did they change the storyline or modernize it? I know very little about the version currently out.

It was a decent adaptation of the musical. Of course, it's impossible to faithfully adapt a 1600-page novel into a play or film without sacrificing large portions of the plot, but it's an entertaining film nonetheless. The one major negative was the casting of Russell Crowe. He was abysmal as Javert.

Just watched the beginning of it. Seems worth seeing in the cinema.

Re: Les Miz?
I actually didn't think that Crowe was a s bad as we feared.
The filming was pretty novel for a musical film...I was mesmerized by the hand held cam continuous shooting and the fact that the music is delivered live on set and not over dubbed.....the make-up (you'll see what I mean if you see the film) was incredibly handled having seen the stage musical version several times.....suddenly you are struck by how intimate a movie can make this story while at the smae time going all balls out on the mega-staging and props and scenography.

Crowe as Javert is why I haven't seen it. Stars is one of my all time favourite songs in a musical. If Crowe massacres it I'll cry.

Re: Les Miz?
The songs were recorded directly on the set. That means that you are hearing them more or less singing live with all the flaws of a live performance.
It has a Baz Luhrman quality.
In this case though, as I mentioned, we are literally so close into the action and the characters that it isn't really about the singing only, as opposed to the stage version where the singing has to be flawless and 'big'.
I didn't think that anyone was that horrible, including Crowe.
It was a big risk...but from the number of people crying around us..I think it worked.

Re: Les Miz?
I saw the stage shaw a few years ago, but just about all I remember is how uncomfortable the seats were. Neither that experience nor the presence of Crowe encourages me to see the film. It'll be shown on TV in a few years and I think I can wait.

Haven't seen it in any of its incarnations over the years, but this is the first time I've been keen to see a musical movie.
Reviews were incredibly mixed, though. Ebert, whose reviews I tend to agree with most, hasn't seen it yet. The other two I default to had mixed reviews - Rolling Stone's Peter Travers loved it; Time's Richard Corliss was less than enthusiastic, but more about the OTT directing than anything else.
