P. T. O. Opera Ghost review.
1 of 3 found this helpful This glitzy rendition of Andrew Lloyd Webber's stage production is very visually appealing. While Emmy Rossum's singing is not on par with Sarah Brightman, her acting is none the less captivating on the screen. Gerard Butler performs an interesting interpretation of the Phantom. While no Michael Crawford, Butler does hit key notes, and has great chemistry with Rossum.
The made for film "Black and white scenes" add closure to the interpretive ending of the stage production.
If you have never seen the Musical production, this film is perfect for you. If you have seen the Musical, you will not be disappointed... Too much. There are some songs left out, including the rehearsal of "Don Juan Triumphant". The Phantom is not as mystical as in the stage production, as all his tricks can be easily explained in the film through levers and secret passage ways.
The Phantom's lair is fairly accurate to the stage production but only in the deep depths. Towards the beginning Raoul falls into a "Fun House" of mirrors and a strictly made for film water trap.
If I have to make one complaint about the film, it would be the infamous Chandelier Scene. I have no qualms about the chandelier falling in the second Act rather than the end of the first Act; I do have a problem with the way it fell. In the original Novel the Phantom has the chandelier actually fall into the audience. During a stage performance you can not have a chandelier fall on the patrons, (unless you don't want them to come back) so the chandelier falls on the the stage. In the film the chandelier is very realistic looking, however it falls and swings down to crash into the stage! This is a film, therefore you can do things in the film that can not be done during live performances. If you have the technology make the damn chandelier fall into the audience not into the stage!
I normally would not make a fuss about such a thing, however, this is what made Phantom famous during the stage production, it should be nothing short of spectacularly disastrous in the film. Drop the chandelier kill lots of people and then have the theatre burn down. 3 stars out of 4. Hope this was helpful.

Mame Review
3 of 3 found this helpful O.K., This has been critically smeared since the day it came out. Lucile Ball was said to have been, "Perfect for the role, 15 years ago". To Hell with critics!
I must say I was pleasantly surprised by this delightful film. Granted, Lucy does not hold a tune as well as the former Broadway actors who played Mame previously, but she sure has heck can act as well as or better than her predecessors.
Who wouldn't enjoy seeing a film with Bea Arthur as an alcoholic in denial, and Lucy exiting a department store with roller skates after being fired. There are lines that will bring you to tears just because of the Stars who are saying them!
The film quality is impressive, great cinematography, and flashy dance sequences make this film not just an old movie to be passed up by the eye at a glance. I would compare the film quality to Cabaret. It isn't grainy and choppy and full of obvious mistakes like some older musicals.
Mame is a great musical that has withheld the test of time, and the film version gives the stage production justice. Any Lucy or Golden Girls fan would love to own this Gem of a film. A must see for musical lovers of all ages!

Phantom of the Opera- Original Cast Recording
2 of 2 found this helpful Here it is! The original cast recording of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Masterpiece. If you are looking for a recording of the film version, this is not for you, however if you are a fan of the Musical, you can relive the magic over and over again with this recording.
While most of the musical is adapted from the novel, it really is hauntingly beautiful. While not a true Opera, the music and acting make it very entertaining. This recording has lines from the script so it is almost like following the musical. You can listen to this rather than going to the theatre.
If you must get a C.D. of Phantom get the full Original Cast and not the watered down Highlights. This is guaranteed to bring hours of entertainment to any musical fan and even some Opera fans.
