Moulin Rouge

1952, Movie, NR, 123 mins

starstarstarstar
The first 25 minutes of this lavish biography of the 19th-century French artist Toulouse-Lautrec are truly outstanding: The can-can sequence alone gives Baz Luhrmann's recent lavish musical a run for its money. The rest of the film, directed with verve by John Huston, isn't bad either, and Mel Ferrer, who plays the disabled Toulouse-Lautrec on his knees, is superb. Look for horrormeisters Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing in bit parts. Read the complete review for Moulin Rouge

I was wondering if I'd like John...

I was wondering if I'd like John Leguizamo's character Dr. Clemente. I knew I'd like John himself, although I imagined him singing all his lines à la Moulin Rouge (hey, you either loved it or hated it — me, I loved it). But would I like his ER character?  When no one wanted to get Clemente to help with the hyperactive drugged-out guy, I decided I loved him after he said this line: "Hey — even if you think I'm a pain in the ass, it should never get in the way of patient care." Sold. But I sure was glad they decided to give Kristen Johnston the week off — we longtime ER fans need baby steps to accept new people. Too funny that some of the women are already eyeing Clemente. Nice subtle up-and-down look Samantha gave him, and even Neela (shocker!) referred to him as "kinda hot." Best story line was Luka with the six-year-coma patient, Blaire — how horrible for her to wake up to find out her husband was remarried and her mother was killed.

I just watched some West Palm Beach bitch named Sophie boss around her mother, drop the F-bomb like a trucker and threaten her friends, all over a Moulin Rouge-inspired birthday party. If there was any ounce of me that ever wanted to have children, it's now as withered as this demon seed's soul. The worst thing is, even with a $10,000 stylist who had to work around a gut that would look slim on John Goodman, Teenzilla still ended up looking like the hooker version of Dee the sassy sister from What's Happening!! and had absolutely no idea that about 30 seconds after this show aired, she would become a walking target for her formerly terrorized classmates. And just knowing that makes it feel like it's my birthday. So thanks, Soph. I hope you got everything you wanted… and deserve. read more
