glowbugg ramblings

I really wanted this to be the best MOH so far. I was all set for a serious mind f***k by my favorite author, Clive Barker and with Tony Todd as the villian, how could you go wrong? I should have known better than for Barker's words to translate well onto film, and I thought that Todd's finger tips were going to fall off from bad spirit gum application. Boo. Hiss. Not at all what I had anticipated from the trailer. Neat idea and story overall, but not a good translation overall. 

Loved it, loved it, loved it! Good acting, captivating story, and (my favorite) comic relief. Well done and even had a good ending which is hard to find anymore. I watch it whenever I get a chance and I even added it to my personal collection for Xmas last year. A good one to pass on to friends who haven't had the pleasure yet.  

I loved this film! I usually dislike musicals that are on film, but I didn't pigeonhole this one as a musical, so much as a sing-a-long. John Cameron Mitchell did a fantastic job both musically and acting. I fell in love with the character (and his make-up applying abilities) right from the start. I was a bit confounded by his bandmate who appeared to be male, but sang and looked like a chick with a five o'clock shadow, but that just lent to the quirkiness of the whole film. The soundtrack is brilliant and I watch this film at least once every couple of months or so. Hilariously heartbreaking from beginning to end.
