West Side Story (1961)
West Side Story (1961)
1961 | Drama, Musical, Romance
Based around the story of Romeo and Juliet, Tony (ex leader of the Jets) falls in love with Maria (sister of Bernardo, the leader of The Sharks). The two gangs organise a rumble whereby the leader of the Jets is killed by Bernardo, in turn, Bernado is then killed by Tony. I fast forwarded through some of the songs as some, particularly the opening song drag on but "America" is a fire-cracker and "Tonight" is just heavenly.

Predictable and Sad
I enjoyed this film but it’s predictable and I didn’t think parts would be as depressing as they were. I took my little sister to see this in the cinema and she enjoyed it until it started to get really upsetting, I think it’s a bit too sad to be a kids film. Other than that it was a nice change to the other films that have been released.

My sister just gave me this book from my dad's library collection. I'm honored to have it. I'm not sure if I'll enjoy it or not, tonight it caused a lot of debating with my family. We shall see what I think of it.

To be honest, I was not that impressed with Reverend Schuller's book A few things I've read in other books before and I agree with, then there are other things that just are so wrong.
  
Dirty Dancing  (1987)
Dirty Dancing (1987)
1987 | Drama, Music, Romance

"Right? So this is a love story about a summer fling. It incorporated music and dance into a story that rang of nostalgia and the world as it used to be, which seems so different, and yet the emotions that all of the characters experience — from the couple that falls in love, or the parents or the sister — they all ring with authenticity. It all comes together in a way that is both memorable and moving."

In this sweeping historical fiction novel, Heather Chisvin takes us along a journey of two sisters who flee late 19th century Russia through to Canada and America of the early and mid-20th century. There, one sister must come to terms with her past, but the other continues to be tortured by it, with tragic results. You can read my review of Chisvin’s debut novel on my blog here.
