Movie Review by B Movie Ben

February 3rd, 2008

It's Brigadoon! It's Bloody Brigadoon!

Favorite Movie Quote: "Why do you have to *lose* something, to find out what it *really* means?"

Sometimes a movie gets a lot of Oscar nominations, and it still isn't what I would consider great. This is such a movie.

Compared to other musicals, there just seemed to be something lacking.

It couldn't have been the sound, or the costumes, or the set decoration, as they were all superb.

Maybe it was Gene Kelly. he just didn't seem to have the spark he had in his Oscar-nominated performance in Anchors Aweigh.

Maybe it was Amarillo-born Cyd Charisse. She was beautiful, but just didn't have the magic.

I don't know, but I've seen this film, and don't expect to watch it again. At least I now know what Gareth was talking about in Four Weddings and a Funeral - It's Brigadoon! It's Bloody Brigadoon!
