Rock of Ages
Tonight my wife and I went and saw the Rock of Ages movie. We loved it and thought it was lots of fun, but then we’ve seen the musical so we’re kind of biased. My wife had been following the development of the movie and was less then impressed with the casting choice, but after the movie we can both say that we where wrong. The cast worked out fantastic, even Tom Cruise as the hard rocker Stacee Jaxx, was a great choice.
This is a musical so be prepared for lots of singing from the cast, but it’s all fun and I found myself getting excited when I knew what song they where going to do next. If you have seen the musical then expect changes between that and the movie. But don’t worry, all the changes where good and made the story flow better, which made me quite happy. So if you’re a child of the 80’s or a fan of 80’s rock and roll, I recommend checking it out. It would make a great date movie I think ^_^

Yeah, I agree, it was an awesome movie. I too saw the musical on an off-Broadway showing. True, there were a few changes that were made, but it was still very enjoyable and funny (Alec Baldwin cracks me up all the time, Russell Brand too).
