Fame (2009)

Director: Kevin Tancharoun
Writers: Allison Burnett (screenplay), Christaopher Gore (1980 Motion Picture "Fame")
Release Date: 25 Sept 2009
My Viewing Date: 27 Jan 2010
My Rateing: 2 stars out of 10

This movie is based upon the 1980 film which follows NYC talent attending the New York City High School for the Performing Arts, students get specialized training that often leads to success as actors, singers, etc. The movie fallows some students from there Freshman to their Senior year.

This movie was not as good as I had hoped. I love dance movies and musicals, this was a great dance movie but that is about it, and they did not show vary much dancing. The movie focused on to many students so you never really cared about any of them. I didn't even remember there names which is funny, that is the tag line of the movie.

As the relentless executioners advance and the conspiring young girl's plans are set in motion, their paths will cross for a fateful evening that will shake the very annals of history." The Massie Twins From IMDB.com

The writing very good , and the movie has beautiful transition between four different languages.
The acting was wonderful! Christopher Waltz was “wow” he deserves an Oscar, he spoke every language in this movie, and he stole the show. All the actors in this movie were amazing.

Although a completely fictional take on WWII, Quentin Taratino’s Inglourious Basterds is a good movie. I liked the fact that when the Natzi’s, as there are commonly referred to by Brad Pitt’s character Lt. Aldo Raine , meet there final demise they feel some the terror that their victims felt.
