Xanadu [1980]

starring: Olivia Newton-John, Gene Kelly, Michael Beck, James Sloyan, Dimitra Arliss
directed by: Robert Greenwald

Release Date June 28, 2004
OK, we can all agree that there's no relevant plot, the personages are almost nonexistent, but WHAT a visual and audio impact!
IF you look at it as an astray piece of style, it embraces all of the, then future, 80's trends and fashions. from ONJ rollerskating outfit with the flirty miniskirt and leg warmers [so funny in the cartoon section of the movie] up to the 'ALL OVER THE WORLD' scene in a LA store with so many 'fab' fashion disasters. BAD hairdos, neon glowing clothes, dreadful makeup, and a corny pop fashion flavour that makes it all SO unforgetable and unforgivable... I give it 4 stars, due to the cool music [even if the sonny malone personage was the WORST casting ever] and MARVELLOUS screaming bad glam outfits throughout! ;)

Release Date April 04, 2000
A snippet of time. The film made in the 70' with a seventies version of 60's hippies. There are some great views of the twin towers.

As with many film adaptations of plays, I the effort to take advantage of the media the essence of the play can get lost. Sure the songs are there but the filler is just that. The play as seen in its many incarnations is inspiring and makes one want to read the gospel of St. Mathew. However this version takes great effort to get through. Also based on the book "The Feast of Fools: A Theological Essay on Festivity and Fantasy".

Still this is the only recording we have to remember a play a time and a message. And the song "Day by Day" pretty much expresses the reason for the play and the reason to be ... Read More:

BAD hairdos, neon glowing clothes, dreadful makeup, and a corny pop fashion flavour that makes it all SO unforgetable and unforgivable... I give it 4 stars, due to the cool music [even if the sonny malone personage was the WORST casting ever] and MARVELLOUS screaming bad glam outfits throughout! ;)
