Chicago ...And All That Jazz

This weekend, i rented Chicago, the movie.
I've been wanting to watch this movie for a long time now, and i even rented it a few months ago, but never got to watch it. A number of people i know didn't like the movie, so that kind of pushed it a bit down my priority list.

Anyway, i finally got to see it. And well, i saw it, not once, not twice but 5 times over this weekend. In short, i loved it.

The acting is great, the music is beautiful, the singing is amazing, and the performances are so marvellous. It's just one of the best movies i've ever seen.

I loved the way conversations and story lines were introduced through songs. It kind of reminded me a bit of Moulin Rouge's style, but this pushes it even further.

Renée Zellwegger, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Richard Gere did magnificent jobs in this movie. I couldn't imagine anyone doing any of these roles better.
Although, i never was a fan of any of these actors, i now classify them as some of the very best.
But, even though they all put in great performances, it's Catherine Zeta-Jones i appreciated the most in this one, she was just perfect.

I'm surely going to buy the soundtrack, and hopefull the DVD too.
It's one of those great experiences in cinema, and i think it deserves every single one of the oscars it got and more.
