Rent Broadway Dvd
What do you think about the movie "income"?
Never reached Broadway. Simply rent the DVD. Never even knew the incredible story of "Jonathan Larson" until I saw two disc extras. Fantastic and moving. What do you think?
I saw them live first, when he arrived in San Diego. I loved it! So naturally, when it came to DVD, I had to have it. Although, I am not a "rental head "I am satisfied with the movie and realized that the few scenes in the movie do. However, love the entertainment industry, I do understand why certain scenes had been omitted (flow of Hollywood movies). Other than that, pure entertainment and great, significant events (both live like in the movie).

Wicked (2003 Original Broadway Cast) $9.90 One of the most common complaints about musicals is that the books are flimsy pretexts from which to hang numbers. Wicked runs into the opposite problem: it has a great plot, but too often the songs just get in the way. Based on Gregory Maguire’s novel of the same name, Wicked tells us what happened between Glinda the Good and Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, before Dorothy showed up in Oz. … |

Annie (Special Anniversary Edition) $4.47 Charmless and dull, this adaptation of the Broadway hit stars Aileen Quinn as the depression-era moppet, Albert Finney as Daddy Warbucks, Carol Burnett as the cruel headmistress at an orphanage, and Tim Curry as a villain. The film never gets its legs, and there is no sense of setting; it’s almost as if the whole thing is happening in a void. John Huston nominally directed–no doubt to make money … |

Merlin: The Complete Third Season $22.68 The third season of Merlin leaps out of the gate like a thoroughbred, plunging into Arthurian legend and adolescent passions with gusto. It’s as if the first two seasons were just treading water; the best of these 13 episodes grapple with the shift in power from the increasingly oblivious Uther Pendragon (Anthony Head of Buffy the Vampire Slayer) to the still headstrong but maturing Arthur (prom-k… |

Rent (Widescreen Two-Disc Special Edition) $7.32 Rent, the show that in 1996 gave voice to a Broadway generation, has finally become an energetic, passionate, and touching movie musical. Based loosely on Puccini’s La Bohème, it focuses on the year in the life of a group of friends in New York’s East Village–”bohemians” who live carefree lives of art, music, sex, and drugs. Well, carefree until Mark, an aspiring filmmaker (Anthony Rapp), and Ro… |
