Movie Reviews of Spice World
Movie Review: Vive Spice Girls!
Summary: 5 Stars
Ahh.. the Spice Girls craze. Seems like just yesterday, the whole world was buying their CDs, posters, candies, dolls, etc. I was one of the crazy fanatics would would be booked for their concerts, whether it was in the nose bleed area or not, I was screaming my head off, singing along with them and viewing them from my section with binoculars.Now, the old fans of the Spice Girls laugh whenever people bring up their band's name. Making fun of them. It was just like the Backstreet Boys. They used to be known and loved around the world, and now they are known as.. well, unpleasantly and unmentional names. Anyway, back on topic:
I love Spice World. Make fun of me all you want, I'm not ashamed! This movie entertained me the five hundred or so times I watched it. I had to replace it three times in about a year and a half, I watched it so much it would crack and fizzle. This movie doesn't really have a story line, but it's fun to watch them practice for their concerts and live normal lifes and laugh like us "normal" people. Even though they were acting throughout the movie, I still felt personally connected to the characters. No matter who kicks in the Music Industry, whether it's Shania Twain or Fifty Cent; Vive Spice Girls!
PS: I miss the Spice Girls so much, I literally cry when I think about the happy times when I was about ten, and my whole neighborhood and best friends would try and put on little Spice Girl shows on our pool deck, or play with the Barbie sized Spice Dolls. I would have Geri's tattoos plastered up my arms, and spend my allowance on their gum. I'm getting weepy..
Movie Review: One Giant Music Video!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is such a great movie. Talk about guilty pleasure! It's one of those "feel-good" movies that makes you laugh any time you watch it and puts you in a happy mood. It follows the girls as they prepare for a big gig (no pun intended) at Albert Hall. The band even experiences a fictional, yet scarily ironic, break up part way through the movie. They work it out... but don't we wish that the same thing could've happened with the real-life break up. This movie makes you feel like you are with the girls and makes you wish you really were! Of course, Emma "Baby" Bunton steals the show with her charming good looks and always loveable personality. (P.S. Emma, feel free to visit me whenever you want! I'd love to meet you!) This is a must have for any fan of the Spice Girls or anyone who is into fun - loving movies. Also check out the Spice Girls' CDs "Spice" and "Spice World", they are awesome. But pass up "Forever" which lost the girls about 7 million fans here in the U.S. This is definitely a movie that I would recommend (FINALLY, I spell it right!) to anyone! You won't regret this purchase... at least rent it! Enjoy!Movie Review: Spice Girls are the best of the best
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved the Spice Girls. I loved everyone of their songs. This film is fantastic. I really wish they were still together. The Spice Girls were one of the best musical groups in history. They made millions of people happy. No one ever committed suicide listening to their music because it was all upbeat and energetic.The Spice Girls spoke to my heart and to those of millions of adoring fans around the world. The Spice Girls were better than the Beatles or the Rolling Stones. The Spice Girls had REAL music that touched our hearts. They had an upbeat, motivating message unlike the Beatles who gave us nothing but nonsensical lyrics and gloomy moods.
One of the darkest days in my life was when Ginger left the group. It was devastating for me. She was part of the soul of the group and I blame Scary Spice for messing that up. Also, they dumped their manager who brilliantly guided the group into being one of the top groups in history. Again, Scary is to blame.
Spice World is clearly worth owning and cherishing. I hope the Spice Girls come back together and make some new music and some more films.
Movie Review: Actually a fun movie, lots of energy and the songs are not bad at all.
Summary: 5 Stars
I always felt that a lot of our British cousins across the ocean were a bit too merciless in panning the S.G. as just another hack pop group who couldnt carry a tune. I got the DVD for my daughter when she was 5 and the Scary doll. One day I just put in the VHS and watched. Yes it was silly, at times it was a kind of duh humour that you may have heard before in one way or another. But it was never dull. I enjoyed their good natured shenanigans and thought that they actually did a good job for a showcase movie.
Im sorry that as a group they didnt last as long nor did their reunion concert that I attended with my then 13 year old daughter catapult them into a new vibrancy. They had the energy and the talent imho. Unfortunatley wether or not it was bad management, chemistry gone bad or just wanting family life it didnt happen.
But I felt also that the GoGos also ended too soon as well. Sei La vie.
Movie Review: SPICE and SPY
Summary: 5 Stars
It was good to see Roger Mooer James Bond 007 in a film again. This time he plays a character who looks very much like Blofeld. Instead of a cat he now keeps a pig in his lap. Very cool idea! As with David Lean's "Doctor Zhivago" it is about a few years in the turbulent life of the all-female Anglo-Soviet assembly. The Spy and Spice Girls have plenty of character, and that helps make up for the lack of action and adventure that keeps their movie debut from being a truly epic motion picture. The concert scene at Albert Hall in London was very reminiscent of Hitchcock's "The Man Who Knew Too Much." It was kind of a 90's version on some of his themes as well as David Lean's and the Bond producers. However, it has a potential of being cult epic like "Austin Powers."
