Song and Dance

ok, so last night the c-w's finally rented chicago, the academyawardwinning musical......we had no idea what to expect, other than catherine zeta-jones performed well enough for a supporting actress oscar, and neither renee nor richard nor queen latifah managed the same feat.....my, but they could sing and dance...........i enjoyed those parts even though i didn't quite get whether they were really happening or imagined on everyone's part as the reality of the murder, incarceration, and trial played out.............regardless, i thought it was nicely done, and was pleased that it won best picture......this year i have hopes that best picture will be the return of the king, as a reward for the triliogy's outstanding everything.......cinematography, costumes, script, storyline, soundtrack, casting ...............peter jackson's vision has been gloriously filmed.........the good news about this group of movies is that we know how it will end.............and this frees jackson to devote his time and talent to putting together a movie that plays that out, rather than figuring out where his movie is going and how it should end.....so many movies end pitifully...............i am so looking forward to watching sam gamgee throw the ring into the flames, and frodo defeating the spider, and the rest of the cast waging the war for middle earth.............so grand an epic deserves ultimate recognition............
