Rent (2005)
Based on Puccini's classic opera La Boheme, Jonathan Larson's revolutionary rock opera "Rent" tells the story of a group of Bohemians struggling to live and pay their rent in the gritty background of New York's East Village. "Measuring their lives in love," these starving artists strive for success and acceptance while enduring the obstacles of poverty, ilness and the AIDS epidemic.

I am a Law and Order buff. I wanted to see how Jesse L. Martin did in Rent. Regulars know Martin was absent from the last four episodes of the fifteenth season.

I truly believe there is a market for films like "Rent". Films in which everyone involved just wants to sing, dance, have fun, look good, and go home. Nothing more, nothing less. I'm well aware of that. But when this goes on for 135 minutes, it becomes overdone, tiresome, and a one trick pony. You have to be able to know...

I was never able to see the musical "Rent" performed live on stage. This seems to be an ongoing trend with me. Every acclaimed musical that comes to town is always gone before I get a chance to see it. It took me almost a decade to finally catch "Phantom of the Opera" on stage, and then only because I was living in London...
