Reviews For Jake: Leap of Faith - The Musical

http://reviewsforjake.blogspot.com/2010/09/leap-of-faith-musical.html

Wednesday, September 22, 2010. Leap of Faith - The Musical. Last night I went to a preview of the new musical Leap of Faith. Now playing at The Ahmanson Theatre through October 24th, 2010. The first act, is awful. Not awful, like BAD, awful like: WHO CARES! It's got the SAME. Color scheme of the musical Oklahoma. Backdrop of the 'Kansas' scenes from a tour of The Wizard of Oz. Costuming from a High School production of West Side Story. During 'Dance at the Gym', the SAME. Fine, okay, good. We got it....

Reviews For Jake: April 2010

http://reviewsforjake.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html

Tuesday, April 20, 2010. Up In The Air. I wish this review were brought to you by American Airlines. Much like this movie was, but it's not. (.and THAT should. Conclude my bitchiness for this review, 'cause I LOVED THIS MOVIE. See, my friend Beverly asked if I had seen Up in the Air. And I had not. As a matter of fact I didn't really care about seeing it even with it's six Academy Award nominations. What a mistake. Great flick. Along the way he meets Alex ( Vera Farmiga. Who is SO freaking charming!

Reviews For Jake: Sparkle (2012)

http://reviewsforjake.blogspot.com/2012/08/sparkle-2012.html

Thursday, August 23, 2012. I think my favorite moment of this movie was when my friend leaned over and said "Didn't we already see Dreamgirls? And I whispered back: "Yes.AND What's Love Got To Do With It.". The music kinda sucks (except for the fab "Giving Him Something He Can Feel"), the editing makes it seems like they are trying to make something out of nothing (which they didn't), the song sequences are WAY too long and it's all just so.mediocre. None of them being the leads, but that's not the point.

Reviews For Jake: March 2009

http://reviewsforjake.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html

Thursday, March 19, 2009. You know it's not a good movie when Kim Basinger is the best thing in it. The Informers is a film based on Bret Easton Ellis. 1994 collection of short stories of the same name. It's about youth, drugs, rock stardom, sex, tri. Sexuality, useless domestic violence and apparently the 1980's. Now BELIEVE ME, I know ALL of those things should. Billy Bob Thornton is SHIT, Mickey Rourke is visually disgusting (what else is new? And couldn't imagine going to The Jacket. Cute and hot pho...

Reviews For Jake: Hereafter

http://reviewsforjake.blogspot.com/2010/10/hereafter.html

Sunday, October 17, 2010. After sitting in that theater for two and a half hours watching this crap flick, I'm pretty sure I. Died and came back! This clunker is long and boring. It wasn't until the sixty-first minute that anything ACTUALLY happens excluing the opening scene which doesn't really set anything up except for the reason for the 100 Million dollar budget! Directed by Clint Eastwood, why I don't know. Here's my issue with this flick: NOTHING HAPPENS! Matt Damon: yawn. Clint Eastwood's dire...

Reviews For Jake: Love Never Dies...but it's killing Musical Theatre.

Thursday, January 12, 2012. Love Never Dies.but it's killing Musical Theatre. Picture it: Melbourne, 2011. I'm walking the streets of Melbourne, Australia, taking in both the amazing sights and amazing people, when I stumble upon a marquee for Love Never Dies. Friends in other countries talk about how the U.S. always get things first, but here I was in Australia and here was the show that everyone was talking about that WAS NOT coming to the U.S. anytime soon. Apparently for good reason. Could there BE a...
