I remember my sister loved this movie, because she was going to be a famous dancer one day & immediately worshipped any movie that had dancing in it!! Needless to say, about 15, she decided she was going to be a writer instead & therefore saved the world from having to see what she loosely called “dancing”……

Steve: As soon as someone starts paying me to write theater reviews again, I guess.

So Eric, when are we going to get a review of “Young Frankenstein,” which you mention you saw on Broadway? (Or any of your other adventures in NYC?)

“Speed 2″ got two thumbs up from Ebert and Roeper. (It might have been Siskel and Ebert back then.) I know this because my college roommate had the DVD, even though she swore it was her brother’s. And no, he did not live with us.

“Imagine Cats, only without the complex storyline, and with more suicides among audience members.”

You are going to get me in trouble at work if you keep writing lines like that.

Wow, the big Broadway show sounds like a giant kiddie dance recital with the big numbers and the long pauses. Come to think of it, “Satan’s Alley” is an apt description of those too.

I must say, Eric, I’m a little confused–in your review of “Hairspray” you have nothing but positive things to say about Travolta’s performance. But here you call him a joke for doing it?

Good job otherwise–funny as always.
