![]() ![]() And - hurrah for cocktail hour! (Margaritas, Martinis, Mai Tais and other tropical drinks, White Russians, Black Russians, red wine, and dark beer - that's what I'm talkin' about!) :) I collect antique photographs from the early 1900s and 1800s.Īnd another hobby is cooking, collecting cookbooks, and trying out new recipes. I love history, visiting historic sites, museums, L.A. I also love reading and collecting books - I have a large home library of more than a few thousand books. I tend towards the early and the rare - I do have a special love for silent films. I enjoy watching movies from all decades and, really, most genres and like to watch at least one movie (or more, if I have the time) every day. So many movies, so little time! I would call myself an "extreme" movie buff - I'm pretty much the type who wants to see every worthwhile film ever made. I just watched this and already feel like seeing it again! Rating - 10/10 stars Emmy Rossum, who plays Christine, has a lovely singing voice - Gerard Butler makes a very attractive Phantom, I must say, even with his mask off you could still see his handsome features shining through - hmm, I half thought Christine should just go for him, so what about the scars! And by the way, this film looked stunningly gorgeous on Blu-ray. Of course, the whole thing is helped along by featuring a wonderful music score and vocals, which fills the majority of the production. I must say this film version of the stage musical is just terrific, the costumes lavish and colorful, the art and set direction spectacular - I absolutely loved this. Review - Okay, yes, I am a fan of musical theater and of Andrew Lloyd Webber - I have seen this performed on the stage here in Los Angeles. ![]() A real Gothic love triangle is basically what's at the heart of this story. The Phantom encounters her and brings her to visit his chambers via boat - and meanwhile, Christine is romanced by her handsome childhood sweetheart who she still loves, sparking jealousy in the heart of poor Phantom. Christine's singing voice has been well coached, by the voice of the Phantom himself - she believes he is the "Angel of Music", the spirit of her deceased father. The Phantom loves from a distance a beautiful teenage singer named Christine - he gives demands to those who own the Opera company via letters to give Christine the lead. Plot Summary - In 1870 Paris, the Opera House is haunted by the infamous "Phantom" - a disfigured man who wears a mask covering half his face and lives in the underground sewers below the Opera. ![]()
