Go See: Pitch Perfect

Now I know I had told you how excited I was to see "Pitch Perfect" and quite honestly, it nearly over delivered for me.  It's hard to find films where you actually laugh so hard to the point of tears but this film did, at least two times.  I think it also helped who my company was but still - this film packed the laughing punch and if you're every bit the gay man that I am, then you'll see it.  It makes me dream about the moment when Rebel Wilson and I will be besties and we can sit, drink wine and talk about people.  Anna Kendrick was amazing and I'm pretty sure I'm going to be downloading the soundtrack from itunes soon enough.  And ahem, you do know that Ms. Kendrick has been performing on Broadway for years, duh?  You saw her in "Camp", right? You'll also see kick-ass performances by newcomers Skylar Astin (this guy played Georg in "Spring Awakening" in NY), Ben Platt (another theater dude), Ester Dean (singer/songwriter) and Hana Mae Lee (comedian & clothing designer). 

Ummm, so I've said enough - go see it!!!

Can't Wait: Pitch Perfect

Yes, I am a gay man.  I'm sooooo excited to see the upcoming film, "Pitch Perfect", because it has loads of singing in it.  And it also has the amazing and incredibly talented Anna Kendrick, who you know from the "Twilight" series, "Up in the Air" but I knew her when she was in the film "Camp" which was about high school kids in performing arts camp.  So I can't wait to hear her sing again in this film.  The cast is kick-ass with Rebel Wilson, the sassy aussie who you might've seen in "Bridesmaids" as Kristen Wiig's roommate's sister; Brittany Snow ("Hairspray" and "American Dreams"), Anna Camp (she played the pastor's wife on "True Blood"), Alexis Knapp (ummm, she's Ryan Phillippe's most recent baby mama) and Skylar Astin (he played Georg in the broadway musical "Spring Awakening" in 2006). 

Who dared to take on the task of directing this film?  Jason Moore, naturally.  And why was he a good fit?  Because he has musicals is in his blood.  He's directed the top hit, Avenue Q on Broadway as well as "Shrek: The Musical", "Guardians" and "Steel Magnolias".  So, just a few more days and on October 5th - go see Pitch Perfect....!  I know, I will and then maybe hit-up a little karaoke afterwards.
