Chicago - Ems

Loved the movie from start to finish, the acting, dancing, singing, all excellent, never a dull moment. It was interesting to see these actors show off their other talents and the musical numbers were entertaining. The biggest surprise was Renee Zelleweger's ability to sing, but Richard Gere's voice was a tad too nasaly for me. Catherine Zeta-Jones and Queen Latifah had the stand out performances, their singing, dancing, and acting abilities were above par.

The cell block tango sequence was amazing, how they incorporated the musical numbers with the dancing, and the red cloth signifying the blood.

Grade: A

 

Special Features

Commentary by director Rob Marshall and screenwriter Bill Condon

Deleted musical number "Class"

Behind-the-scenes featurette

Widescreen anamorphic format

For such a highly acclaimed and well received movie, I thought the DVD would be filled with special features. It did come with an additional scene, a director's commentary, and a behind the scenes documentary, but more indepth features would have made it complete. I guess they figure since the movie is so popular, people will purchase the DVD just for the movie and not worry about what kind of special features are included. I would have liked a few actor's commentary on the movie, more behind the scenes look at the making of the movie, and more additional scenes.
