He also has the talented choreographer Mia Michaels, working as the official choreographer, yet there are about two dance scenes in the entire film. Adam Shankman, the director at the helm has proven to be an incredibly gifted choreographer (famous for choreographing THE “Dirty Dancing” scene, “Hairspray”, Michael Jackson for the “This Is It” concert, and yes, even the “High School Musicals”). Now there are some great tunes in there, and I can see why on the stage it would be a rockin good time, with a capital R, but unfortunately this just doesn’t translate on screen. It’s pretty much song, song, song medley, song, bridging dialogue, song, song, song medley.
“Rock of Ages” is about 90 per cent music with about 10 per cent dialogue. Or does he? Tension, right?īut I even feel a little silly focusing on the plot so much. Tension, right? Stacee Jaxx gets questioned for a Rolling Stone interview and doesn’t like the answers, or who’s asking them. There are many more plot points and characters and tensions to build the movie to its climax…”The Bourbon”, the aforementioned sleazy rock bar, is about to go under, and needs the profits of exactly one more Stacee Jaxx (Tom Cruise) concert survive…tension, right? The new Mayor’s wife (Catherine Zeta Jones) has it out for Stacee Jaxx and is doing everything in her power to shut down “The Bourbon”, which involves picketing on the street corner with her church ladies. But that’s enough about these love torn characters, since we all know how this story ends. Well it’s not long where they have a misunderstanding worthy of a romantic comedy, and they must pursue and be disappointed by their starry eyed dreams alone. When they look and sing to each other they are sincere with a capital S, and would be far more at home running along the bleachers in high school than ground zero of the L.A. I am harsh this description makes them sound much more badass than they actually are. Yes, that is correct I AM your knight in shining armour. Oh and come get a job at a sleazy rock bar where the last waitress just quit because she kept getting felt up all the time. Oh dear you just got mugged and had all your worldy possessions stolen on your first night in L.A.? Probably quite a devastating experience, right? Well I’m just going to tease you about this for a while because you sure are pretty. The two leads are cute, even if their meeting isn’t. Take note, this might be important later. Sounds like the opening of a song, right? It’s not a coincidence.
