‘Fame’ Review

By

Movie musicals have made a comeback over the past few years, thanks to such hits as “Hairspray”, “Mama Mia” and the “High School Musical” films.

‘Julie & Julia’ Review

By

Academy Award winner Meryl Streep can pretty much do it all. Last year she’s sang ABBA songs in “Mamma Mia” and played a nun in “Doubt”. This year she took on the role of Julia Child in “Julie and Julia” and turned-in a masterpiece. The movie is based on two true stories. Streep’s Child is […]
