Burlesque

Burlesque is one the few, very few musicals in the cinema lately, I mean, except for those animations and fairytale stuff...
The movie talks about how Ali (Christina Aguilera) chases after her dream as a singer at Burlesque, a bar in L.A. The whole storyline, including the little details and the ending were very much expected. Unfortunately, some part of the movie, especially those cheesy lines can be a big of a let down. And I think some part of the story are just like... Don't make sense. But seriously, if you've decided to watch the movie, you should be only paying attention on the music, the singing and the dances!
The first scene with Cher singing Welcome to Burlesque was already to me, breath-taking. Great song, great singer and OMG great dances too from the dancers! The rest of the songs in the movie are not too bad too, only thing is, there are pretty forgettable... Absolutely love the whole choreography and those overly-sexy costumes! I definitely enjoyed almost every bit of the performances! Kudos to Christina too as she is actually the Executive Music Producer of the movie! How talented!
Cast wise, what a great cast! I would say Christina isn't too bad but then once again, the character isn't a character to test her acting skills. But love her powerful voice, or I shall say, I just love her! I always do! I mean, please don't expect Britney Spears to act in such thing, she will surely fail! Besides Cher, I totally love Stanley Tucci and Alan Cumming in the movie! I think they make the movie a lot more funnier!
Great one if you are a fan of musical!

I really can't wait any longer to watch The Black Swan, King's Speech and True Grit (Oh yeah, Matt Damon!)...
