ROGERS AND HAMMERSTEIN’S CINDERELLA (1997)
“ As Disney's Cinderella for the 90's, Brandy is amazingly good. She wanders the streets of her village, singing ''The sweetest sounds I'll ever hear/Are still inside my head,'' with the longing of a dreamy adolescent and the musical control of a Broadway
trouper. ”
- CARYN JAMES

ANNIE (2014)“This new one, on the other hand, is basically like a horrific
mix of Lionel Bart’s Oliver, My Fair Lady and Pretty Woman. “
“This movie is slathered in slush, immersed in yuckiness and positively laminated in ickiness. It’s supposed to warm your cockles. It might do something entirely different to your gag
reflex.”
- PETER BRADSHAWL
TWITTER CONVERSATION ABOUT ANNIE (2014)
• https://youtu.be/TMeWaOZIzyw?t=35s
“"Polly" is the worst kind of fairy tale…”
“…two hours of ooze, an ambitious but inferior musical adaptation of "Pollyanna," a 1960 theatrical film starring a
young Hayley Mills…”
- HOWARD ROSENBERG

“Terrible”
“This Broadway mainstay is horrifying -- nightmare-inducing, really. Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, and Nipsey Russell make for a triple threat of overacting and bad costumes in
this Harlem-set bastardization of The Wizard of Oz.”
- CHRISTOPHER NULL
THE JAZZ SINGER (1927)
