Bottom-line: My memories were better than the actual film.
Review: Despite my tolerance and slight annoyance at the remake, nothing will overshadow the 80s corniness of the awesome original. Making its place on the list of film/music classics, this movie draws me in each time I watch. This 80s classic took the WOS by storm and most who saw it wanted to dance and sing in the streets of New York. The film spawned the hit series that helped to launch the careers of now notable stars like Janet Jackson (a legend & famed whisperer).
This film had talented singers and dancers who all shined through on screen but one of my favorites was Leroy. He went with his friend to help her audition and ended up getting one of the coveted spots in the school of arts. Leroy (Ray) was rough around the edges, illiterate, and an amazing dancer. Debbie Allen played one of the toughest teachers in the school who demanded every students best or booted them from her class. Cocoa (Cara) had me laughing as she was caught out there stripping and crying in front of a bogus “producers” camera. Why didn’t she just break the hell out? I wish Allen & Ray were shown more on the screen than the other cast members.
At the end of the day the memories of the film that I replayed in my head were better than the actual film I re-watched. 9 blades and an A for making dance film worth watching.

Ashley Judd seems to have added her happy ass to the long list of folks in denial of the monster that their precious industry (the W.O.S.) has created. Judd has taken it upon herself to reiterate the obvious while ignoring the giant wizard puppeteer behind the puppets.
espite the truth that there are no set programs, more than half of the shows are unconfirmed, the first week or more have only been previews of what MIGHT be shown, and more than half of all television viewers have yet to see anything on the OWN Network, mainstream
2010 has been another year where the WOS Celebs have stepped their game up in the category of bullshit, hot mess, and sloppiness. Yesterday, two WOS young bloods were in battled in another Internet War of Words. Twitter has become the "safe zone" to attack folks behind a computer and have the fans directly involved. Instant bullshit brought to everyone's and anyone's computer screens - whether asked for it or not.
