If You Can-Can-Can!!!

You guessed it, next on our list is one of my all time favorite movies Moulin Rouge!

Moulin Rouge came our in 2001... I know so long ago. it was directed by the incredible Baz Luhrmann, and has a star studded cast. You may recognize such people as Nicole Kidman, 'the sparking diamond', Ewan McGegor 'the oh-so-talented, charmingly bohemian, tragically impoverished writer', John Leguizamo the voice of the children of the revolution, or Jim Broadbent, the jolly and greedy owner of the Moulin Rouge. This movie is so fun,and so energetic. There really is something in it for everyone. Now I know it's a musical, and that may be part of why I am so attached to it...but really, it is a wonderfully crafted piece of art. There are so many layers to this film that every time you watch it you see something new. I laugh out loud every time I see it and I have to be up in the hundreds by now. Now what did Chris have to say? He is the reason we had to watch it after all( not that I'm complaining).

Visually stunning, Great acting.

Go ahead, "I can see some lonely Moulin Rouge dancers looking for a partner or two, so if you can Hunk Hunk, you can Hunkadola with them". You won't regret it I promise!

And the Madness Begins!

Alrighty, the first to be checked off our list is Ladri Di Biciclette or The Bicycle Theif directed by Vittorio De Sica. If you couldn't guess this film is in Italian, so anti-subtitlist beware! I thought this film was absolutely gorgeous. It is in black and white, I am always a sucker for that, mixed with the Italian made this move a dream for me. The other cool thing about this film is that many of the actors are really non actors. The story line in this movie, I believe is very easily accessible. It is a story about a family struggling to make ends meet, and make and honest living, in the end it seems like this is not enough. It has a little bit for everyone, a little action, a little romance, and a lot to think about. I would definately recommend this movie to anyone! It is nice, to the point, and easy to watch.
