 This is movie is just so fantastic that I can't believe I had the willpower to wait for Christmas to get the DVD! It was a blast watching it again at home - the 5.1 sound mix was really cool, with lots of separation in the music so often there would be trombones or something right behind me, just like being in the middle of the band. Once again, Catherine Zeta-Jones is absolutely fantastic, and it's very cool being able to watch her rehearsing in the bonus material on the DVD. The commentary is nice, too, revealing the amazing fact that the musical numbers were shot without stopping, just like they were performed on stage! I assumed with all the cutting that they did them in pieces, but now I'm even more impressed. The bonus musical number Class (which they say was cut because it wasn't part of Roxie's fantasy) is wonderful - I always thought the song was hilarious on the soundtrack. Chicago was definitely worthy of Best Picture - now why haven't the studios released a bunch more musicals this year?Labels: dvds |
