Rock of Ages


I’ve recently watch 2 musical movie. And no, one of them is not Les Miserables. I watch Rock of Ages and Pitch Perfect. Alright it is not exactly musical, well the rock of ages kinda is. They just kept singing.


So, the movie is bout a girl moving to LA to get a break in singing. She met a guy who works in a bar and helped her get a job as a waitress.

He got his big break and he thought she cheated on him with some rock star and she quit her job and be a waitress at some strip club.

Every time they talk or think, they will sing. And the songs are mash up and familiar. You will know the songs and feel nostalgic. Well, sometimes. It is just that the songs are songs you know. It is familiar. You can sing a long.

The movie is 2h long. So it is long. The story line is very standard. Typical and you can guess what is going to happen next. So you do not watch for the story. You want for the songs. It is just for easy watching/listening. Too long, but it is nice to listen and know. Cause you will be like, hey I know this song. It is a nice feeling to have.
Plus the movie consists of lots of actors you know. Tom Cruise, Alec Baldwin(30 Rock), Russell Brand, Catherine Zeta-Jones, just to name a few.

So, it wasn’t as bad as people say. Lengthy and predictable but its just a movie you do not have to think too much. Just to watch for the soundtrack. For the music of the 80s.

P.s. Why in movie the Hollywood sign is such a popular place to go on a date? It is like they always bring their girls there and it always seem empty. Isn’t great place suppose to be filled with people. Cause all guys will think that it is such a great place.
Not just talking bout this movie or the Hollywood sign in general, but more of any place actually.
