Green Acres: My Husband, the Rooster Renter (1965)
Hank Kimball
As the series goes on, Hank Kimball gets more and more annoying with his bumbling and no not this it was.... Well it couldn't be that nonsense. At least in his first appearance, he is somewhat normal.
The Phantom of the Opera (2004)
Very Enjoyable
After having listened to the original Broadway CD in preparation for the movie, I have to say aside from a few minor details such as some parts being spoken rather than sung that I was pleased with how close all the music was.
Emmy Rossum is wonderful as Christine with a beautiful voice. Patrick Wilson is fine as Raoul. Now on to the Phantom.... I had never seen Gerald Butler before and I know he trained a long time for the singing but on some songs his voice is a little rough. I am not making a big deal because I enjoyed the movie and am a big Phantom fan. Most of his songs were very well done and I am not going to make the used to death comparison between Gerald and Michael Crawford because there is none. Two completely different singers and true Phantom fans have to break the mold of Crawford and Sarah Brightman, as wonderful as they are. One other thing that sort of disappointed me was the Phantom's lack of ugliness. I know JS wanted a youthful look for the Phantom but when he is better looking then Raoul it takes some of the drama out of it for me. Especially the final kissing scene which in my opinion is the most dramatic part of the story. But that will not deter me from seeing it again. Overall very well done. Enjoy Phantom fans!!!
