Review of Velvet Goldmine (1998) by Kym (C My Community Profile) R — 01 Sep 2010

OMG!! Christian looks soo young in this.. oh wait no wonder.. its from like ?98 Not sure how I heard about it, maybe Ernie That I had worked with. Its about a London pop-ster Brian Slade?s rise to & ?fall? from fame.

(mmm Maybe Ryan Lambert saw this movie but as far as I?ve seen him, he?s not this far out) IT was ok? Eddy izzard plays the manager Jerry Divine (sounds like a stripper) The movie is 2 hours & 15 minutes long, & it felt a bit longer.

While I love retro 60s & 70s stuff (including some of the songs I heard) after an hour and 45 minutes I couldn?t wait for it to end, I don?t mean that badly as I watched before bed. The costumes..

I bet Lady Gaga would like to raid that prop hosue those may be stored in! Ewan McGregor plays Curt Wild a fellow pop star with more of a rocker flair. (seriously w/ the hair he reminds me of Kurt Cobain!) I?m going to give it a C (I can?t decide weather a D or a C.

But being I did like parts of it I?ll go w/ the C).
