FEBRUARY RELEASES

Beetlejuice - Broadway Remount

November 8, 2022 - Medium Observation

Video

Cast:

Alex Brightman (Beetlejuice), Elizabeth Teeter (Lydia Deetz), Natalie Charle Ellis (u/s Barbara Maitland), David Josefsberg (Adam Maitland), Adam Dannheisser (Charles Deetz), Leslie Rodriguez Kritzer (Delia Deetz), Michelle Aravena (Miss Argentina), Will Blum (u/s Otho), Danny Rutigliano (Maxie Dean), Brooke Leigh Engen (u/s Maxine Dean/Juno), Dana Steingold (Girl Scout), Eric Anthony Johnson (s/w Ensemble), Sean McManus (t/r Ensemble)

Notes:

Very good capture of Nat as Barbara! some shakiness throughout but not too bad. some washout is seen throughout but nothing enough to take away from the video. Nat is absolutely fantastic as Barbara and she proves to be the absolute best and most underrated cast member. Also has Will Blum as Otho, but only as Otho. Eric Anthony Johnson plays all the ensemble parts Will should be playing for the Otho track. This causes some issues in songs with big ensemble parts such as beautiful sound and the reprise where a clone is missing. Overall a fantastic capture of a 'new' Barbara u/s.

Notes:

Fantastic capture of Wicked. a head blocks some action in the bottom right at times but I work around it so not much is missed. Washout is inevitable on Elphaba in some scenes like defying gravity, unfortunately. Yando was a great Boq and was very adorable in the role. Talia and Brittney slay the house down together where I get goosebumps throughout.

Dana Andrews, Gene Tierney, and Lew Morphy in Laura (Otto Preminger, 1944)

Cast: Gene Tierney, Dana Andrews, Clifton Webb, Vincent Price, Judith Anderson, Dorothy Adams. Screenplay: Jay Dratler, Samuel Hoffenstein, Elizabeth Reinhardt, based on a novel by Vera Caspary. Cinematography: Joseph LaShelle. Art direction: Leland Fuller, Lyle R. Wheeler. Film editing: Louis R. Loeffler. Music: David Raksin.

Laura is a film noir spin on George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion, with a Henry Higgins called Waldo Lydecker (Clifton Webb) whose protégée is an Eliza Doolittle called Laura Hunt (Gene Tierney). It's also a spin on the classical myth of Pygmalion, who fell in love with the statue of Galatea he had sculpted, bringing her to life. This Pygmalion is a detective, Mark McPherson (Dana Andrews), who falls in love with the portrait of Laura, who he thinks has been murdered, and is startled when she walks through the door, very much alive. Classical underpinning aside, Laura has become such an enduring movie because of its well-scripted story and sardonic dialogue (some of it contributed by an uncredited Ring Lardner Jr.) and the performances of Webb, Tierney, and Andrews, along with Vincent Price as the decadent Shelby Carpenter and Judith Anderson as the predatory Ann Treadwell. But most important of all, it was directed with the right attention to its slyly nasty tone by Otto Preminger, one of the most underrated Hollywood directors of the 1940s and '50s. Like such acerbic films as The Maltese Falcon (John Huston, 1941) and All About Eve (Joseph L. Mankiewicz, 1950), Laura is full of characters one would be well advised to steer clear of in real life, but who make for tremendous entertainment when viewed on a screen from a safe distance. It makes a feint at a conventional happily romantic ending, with Laura supposedly going off with McPherson, but do we really believe it? Laura Hunt has shown dubious taste in men -- whom McPherson characterizes as "a remarkable collection of dopes"-- including the desiccated fop Waldo and the smarmy kept man Shelby. So it's hard to believe the social butterfly Lydecker has created is going to settle down happily with a man who, as Waldo says once, fell in love with her when she was a corpse and apparently has never had a relationship with a woman other than the "doll in Washington Heights who once got a fox fur outta" him. Laura is notable, too, for its deft evasions of the Production Code, including Laura's hinted-at out-of-wedlock liaisons, which are at the same time undercut by the suggestions that Waldo and Shelby are gay -- another Code taboo. (Shelby, for example, has an exceptional interest in women's hats, including one of Laura's and the one of Ann's that he calls "completely wonderful.") This shouldn't surprise us, as Preminger went on to be one of the most aggressive Code-breakers, challenging its sexual taboos in The Moon Is Blue (1953) and its strictures on the depiction of drug use in The Man With the Golden Arm (1955), and giving the enforcers fits with Anatomy of a Murder (1959). In addition to the contributions to Laura's classic status already mentioned, there is also the familiar score by David Raksin. (Johnny Mercer added lyrics to its main theme after the film was released, creating the song "Laura.") And Joseph LaShelle won an Oscar for the film's cinematography.

Ray (2004)

😎🎹

This biographical film depicts the rise of rhythm and blues musician Ray Charles from his tragic, poverty-stricken childhood to his life-changing success.

Jamie Foxx plays the lead while the supporting cast includes: Kerry Washington as Ray’s wife Della Bea Robinson, Clifton Powell as tour manager Jeff Brown, Aunjanue Ellis as vocalist Mary Ann Fisher, Harry Lennix as DJ and businessman Joe Adams, Terrence Howard as Gossie McKee, Larenz Tate as record producer and collaborator Quincy Jones, Curtis Armstrong as record executive Ahmet Ertegun, Richard Schiff as music journalist Jerry Wexler and Regina King as Raelette/R&B singer (and mistress) Margie Hendricks.

Not only was Jamie Foxx born to play the role, he actually impersonates both the groovy and musical nature of Ray Charles with massive talent (the actor himself grew up playing piano among other accomplishments, revealed in his memoir Act Like You Got Some Sense and Other Things My Daughters Taught Me). What’s more, Foxx’s electrifying performance as the legendary entertainer won him various accolades, including the Oscar for Best Actor.

Ray Charles was also an innovative pioneer, developing his own style of R&B with gospel to create an entire new genre. Back then, no one changed tunes, but he came up with the idea to increase the music of his generation and turn it into a swinging beat. He even took his piano skills to another level with jazz, country and pop music. All that artistry labeled him as “The Genius of Soul”.

One personal issue Ray dealt with all his life was his blindness. Despite the lack of treatment, he became an independent survivor as his melodic capabilities shone a new light for him and knocked down barriers in unimaginable ways. Jamie Foxx even goes deeper inside Ray Charles’ skin by appearing blind in an authentic way.

Along the way, he and some of his colleagues became addicted to heroin at a time when the drug culture of the 20th century was thriving. That habit was mostly his way of trying to cope with occasional bouts of depression and nervous breakdowns. With the system threatening his career and reputation, he eventually quit after years of professional treatment in rehab.

The story of Ray Charles contrasts the rough environment of his past with his gradual ascension to fame and fortune. At first, people were underestimating his ambition and intelligence. But he was determined to prove them wrong as he played to boost the music industry while receiving attention from black and (eventually) white audiences.

The movie gives an inside look at the inspiration behind Ray Charles’ original hit songs from “Mess Around” to “Georgia on My Mind”, which became the official state song of Georgia.

Finally, Ray was able to overcome every obstacle to become an influential musician who revolutionized the world. If you have the same taste in music as Ray Charles and love the multitalented Jamie Foxx, I highly recommend this lively, moving biopic. But then again, if some of you don’t think Jamie Foxx is anything like Ray Charles, you might as well “Hit the Road, Jack”.
