One of the best soundtracks
I cannot get enough of this soundtrack. Since seeing the film in December, I've had this album on virtually constantly in my car and I can tell you, it really brightens up the journey to work!

It's been a long time since I've listened to a soundtrack that has had so many good songs. With the exception of Tightrope which I'm not particularly keen on, the rest of the songs are fantastic. They're all ridiculously catchy and well written, with great music. Keala Settle has a fantastic voice and Hugh Jackman too, and it's even good to hear Zac Efron singing again. I'd name my favourite songs, but I'd end up naming pretty much the entire album...

Too family friendly to truly paint Barnum's character.
A glance into the antics of P.T. Barnum
I do genuinely enjoy this movie, it's got a really great story that starts with a adolescent Barnum realizing what may be his calling all while pursuing a young girl. As the story progresses he begins to use the methods which gave him the prestige he's earned.

For the most part I believe that this is pretty close to the truth. Missing some of the few antics that I recalled from reading the "48 Laws of Power."

Overall, I think I wish that they showed the true colors of Barnum.

Ok is the perfect descriptor for this film.

I have two major gripes, first of which is that around half an hour needed to be edited out. Some of the scenes were excruciatingly long, and the use of the singing over and over again was really tiresome. The second gripe is that there was nothing new or original about this film. Everything was kind of obvious from the very beginning.
Jeff Bridges acted the same as he has in films for the last 10 years, so nothing new or original there. Chris Hemsworth was nice to look at, and he was a convincing Charles Manson-esque dude. I'm also not sure as to why they'd give Jon Hamm's character an interesting story, only to discard him.

Better than it should be
This is a good solid DVR show, when you an fast forward thru the stupid parts, and just se the preformances and guess who they might be, it's fun. I think this show would be so much better if They just had 2 or 3 celebrities every week sing in these crazy costumes, and guess for a bit, sing again, guess again, then revealed them. then have 2 or 3 more next week. The comptition side is really dumb, but votes allow the show producers to gage audiences and get demographic information.

A family film that still has a feel good feel to it...
A trainee witch is looking after a group of children in wartime Britain when her final lesson in witchcraft doesn't arrive... What follows is a search for the final spell on a magical bed... Trying to stop a German invasion and a fair bit of singing and dancing...

Angela Lansbury stars, in a role far removed from the character that she would later become famous for and puts in a great performance as the novice witch...

A live action and cartoon film that works really well when the two bend together, and is just the sort of film to bring a smile when things are getting you down...
