Renee Zellweger, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and
Richard Gere give audiences the old "razzle-dazzle" in
this movie adaptation of the acclaimed Broadway hit.
Based in Chicago during the roaring 1920'5, a
wannabe cabaret performer named Roxie Hart
(Zellweger), finds herself in jail for murder. When
Roxie arrives, she also finds Velma Kelly (Zeta-
Jones), a well-known cabaret dancer, living in the
same jail. Roxie soon learns the rules of how to get
what she wants in the jailhouse, which is a give and
take with warden "Mama" Morton (Queen Latifah).
Through arrangements with "Mama" Morton, both Roxie and Velma hire
fast-talking, slick-looking lawyer, Billy Flynn (Gere), to present them to the
public and represent them in trial. From there, the movie provides an outra
geous whirlwind of sleek costumes, enticing dance numbers, and catty dialogue
as Roxie and Velma compete for the public's attention and pity.
Although the story line focuses mainly around Zellweger's and Zeta Jones'
characters, Queen Latifah gets ample time to strut her stuff, along with Richard
Gere showing off his tap-dancing skills towards the end of the movie. Gere
also performs as the ringmaster of the circus-like courtroom in a very smooth,
yet hilarious song and dance number.
Anyone with an appreciation of musicals and eye-catching imagery will love
this movie. With plenty of singing, dancing, sexuality, and violence throughout
the show, grab your youngest child and hit the movies. (that was a joke!)

After a three-year absence,
Christina Aguilera makes a dra
matic change with her sopho
more album entitled "Stripped."
No longer is this pop star the
nice respectable young lady we
were first introduced to. This
singer must have been rubbed
the right way to come out of
her genie bottle for this album.
In her first single "Dirrty
(yes, two R's)," she displays a
very different style...a very
dirty style. This reviewer could
not believe the sexual innuen
dos shown throughout the video
for "Dirrty" on MTV. With
lyrics such as "Sweat until my
clothes come off," one must
wonder what she is trying to
prove. Perhaps the whole
By the WPSH Staff Infection
Moulin Rouge thing inspired
her.
Overall though, this album
displays very diverse musical
styles. In "Under appreciated,"
a hint of jazz is revealed. In
"Make Over," Christina's Latin
roots show with a salsa groove
backing up the lyrics.
Overall this album would not
be one I would walk into a
record store and purchase but I
would not mind borrowing it
and listening to it on a rainy
day. It is a decent album; this
reviewer just does not like the
fabricated style the record label
has made of Christina. Steal
this album off the net if you're
extremely bored someday.
