	Studio 54 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Studio 54 was operated by the flamboyant, openly gay, publicly visible Steve Rubell and retiring, straight silent partner Ian Schrager.
		During its heyday it played a formative role in the growth of disco music and nightclub culture in general, and was one of the first nightclubs to blur the distinction between "straight" and "gay" nightlife.
		The disco was depicted in the 1998 movie 54 and parodied in the 2002 movie Austin Powers in Goldmember as Studio 69.

	Qwipster's Movie Reviews - 54 review (1998)
		Studio 54 was the hottest club in NYC during the late 70s disco era.
		54 is a slice of life tale of a young and naive man's indoctrination into the decadent and drug-filled life as a bartender in the club where the stars would come from all over the world for one night in disco heaven...the place to see and be seen by the entertainment elite.
		54 is worth watching for a fascinating look at the rise and fall of the disco empire, which was crushed under its own wild decadence, proving that for every binge there will always be a hangover.

		But 54 seems a wasted opportunity, because, aside from a touching and risky performance by comedian Mike Myers as disco magnate Steve Rubell, there is practically nothing to the film.
		The Studio 54 depicted in the film doesn't seem like much fun, the music isn't particularly loud or wonderful ("Where was Donna Summer or Gloria Gaynor?" a fellow moviegoer wondered while walking out) and Neve Campbell isn't even very fetching in her role as a Jersey-born soap opera star.
		We were rewarded for not walking out, however; the most interesting part of the film was the fl and white photographs of the real Rubell (who died in 1989 at age 45) hanging out at the disco with various members of the glitterati that accompanied the closing credits.

	54 Movie Review
		Like 'Boogie Nights', the protagonist in '54' is a teenager on the verge of becoming a man. Ryan Phillippe stars as Shane, a dreamer and decadent minded young 19 year old who lives two miles across the river from New York City in New Jersey.
		'54' is a film that is high on the intimacy of its characters but short on plot substance.
		As the closing credits of '54' come into focus, snapshots of the real Steve Rubell are shown with very famous VIP's who frequented his club which closed in 1986 and Rubell died in 1989, closing the book on a chapter of popular culture which takes its place in the history of the 20th century.

	Cranky Critic® Movie Reviews: 54
		Cranky wishes he could say the same for 54, a remarkably lifeless story of a fictional Jersey dimwit (Ryan Phillippe), who tends bar at the center of the nightclub universe, his friend the coat check girl (Salma Hayek) who wants to be a singer and her drug dealing busboy husband (Breckin Meyer).
		Problem is, the movie isn't so much about Studio as it is about the lower denizens of the club.
		The movie is vaguely entertaining, but doesn't come close to getting across the scene that was in the Studio.

		Studio 54, New York's hottest nightclub in the 1970s, was known as the motherlode of chic.
		Basically, "54" is minus everything we would like to forget about the decade, such as hairy chests, afros, polyester and 8-tracks.
		The movie reminds us that one can choose to live his or her life in any way.

		54 recounts the hedonistic days of the late seventies when disco was the rage.
		The title 54 refers to Studio 54, the top disco in Manhattan during the late seventies and early eighties.
		The movie sets are elaborate recreations of the real Studio 54, complete with huge concert sets and ornate fantasy backdrops comprising everything from angels on wings to a woman riding a horse.

		"54," which follows Whit Stillman's "The Last Days of Disco," is the second film to offer a behind-the-scenes view of the New York nightclub where disco and drugs infected celebrities with non-stop party fever.
		Christopher's movie returns to 1979-80 and Studio 54 with Shane, a naive, curly haired New Jerseyite who is drawn to the neon lights of the big city.
		"54" lacks the edgy creativity of "Boogie Nights" and the exuberance of the much better "Saturday Night Fever." It merely confirms that disco is a corpse.

		But, if the real thing was as flat and unexciting as the movie ''54,'' it wasn't worth the loss of dignity in the first place.
		Ryan Phillippe is the titular star of ''54,'' playing Shane, the Jersey kid who thinks he has become a star when he works his way up to bare-chested bartender at the celebrated late-'70s disco Studio 54.
		The movie wants you to believe that Rubell was an egalitarian who broke down the walls of class inside his fantasy world where the party never ended.

	Movie Reviews: 54 and Rounders -- The last days of independent cinema
		Even the better low-budget movies this year demonstrate the notorious faults of Hollywood movies - unnecessary emphasis on the thriller aspects in Pi, and an almost total lack of characterization for the love interest in Buffalo '66 - and the latest two movies from Miramax are, simply, quite forgettable.
		54 was originally supposed to be a chronicle of a downfall of Shane (Ryan Phillippe), a New Jersey teen, who comes to New York City, gets into the glitzy Studio 54, and then goes from visitor to busboy to bartender, while losing, step by step, his soul.
		As a result, it comes as a crushing disappointment when, toward the end of the movie, this potentially fascinating plot is reduced to a mere convenient plot device, and Worm totally disappears for all of the last act.

		Beneath all the glitz, this movie is vapid.
		Studio 54, the famed, exclusive Manhattan den of disco and decadence, is re-created gloriously, from the balconies (where patrons had sex) and the basement (where the VIPs hung out and got high) to the dance floor.
		His portrayal of Rubell, the overlord of Studio 54, is effective, although, like everything else in the movie, it lacks depth.

	54 movie review (with photos and clips where possible)
		If a disco movie is going to get to me, it'll have to offer more than fond remembrances.
		The film details the story of Manhattan's hottest spot in the late '70s, Studio 54, a ballroom in a former broadcast center at 54th Street and Eighth Avenue.
		54 is narrated by Shane, a Brooklyn teenager who sees the club as salvation from his dysfunctional family.

		Fernando Trueba's god may be Billy Wilder, but in his latest movie, Calle 54, he shows his devotion to some of his favorite deities from the world of Latin jazz.
		The musicians included in the movie are a virtual "who's who" of Latin jazz: Paquito D'Rivera, Eliane Elías, Chano Dominguez, Jerry González, Michel Camilo, Gato Barbieri, Chucho Valdés, Chico O'Farrill, Israel "Cachao" Lopez, Orlando "Puntilla" Ríos, Carlos "Patato" Valdés, Bebo Valdés and the late great Tito Puente.
		Calle 54 is the fruit of one man's passion for great music and in his tribute to it, he has created great art.

	Movie Review: 54 / Mountain Xpress / Asheville, NC
		The mystique of Studio 54, once Manhattan's darkest night spot, is dredged into the light of day in Mark Christopher's feature-film debut, 54.
		Famous for its "anything goes" atmosphere and who-you-know front-door policy, the club, in the late '70s, was the place to be seen, seduced and selected as one of the groovy people.
		Here's a guy so oblivious, that when a woman OD's on the floor, he can only bring himself to focus on the fact that Princess Grace is in the club and she needs a cocktail.

	CALLE 54 movie review (with clip, photo)
		Virtually a record album as theatrical feature film, Calle 54 desires nothing more than to present such notable musicians as Chucho Valdes, Paquito D'Rivera, and the late Chico O'Farrill and Tito Puente in the best possible performance light.
		Unlike the marvelous Buena Vista Social Club, to which Calle 54 has to be compared, this film spends little time on personal backgrounds, cultural significance or homegrown ambiance.
		For better or worse, Calle 54 is almost totally about the music.

	54 - Movie Reviews by Margaret McGurk: The Cincinnati Enquirer
		According to the credits, the star of the movie is Ryan Phillippe, as Shane O’Shea, an ignorant New Jersey kid who lands a job at the disco where depraved or curious jet-setters (remember when there were jet-setters?) gathered to throw away money, take drugs and ogle ‘‘real’’ people like Shane.
		The movie spends a lot of time on their ups, downs, near-misses and false starts.
		Yet for all the ‘‘action,’’ the movie is chronically turgid.

	Movie Rating: 54
		I think it's just startling to see some of the scenes the first time around, and I'd have to say that in most cases you see far more than you need to see; it goes a little overboard and is very explicit.
		In any case, this movie is not for the light of heart, but I believe it to be a decent depiction of real events (even though some of the characters are fictional) that happened in the late 70's to early 80's at Studio 54.
		What makes this movie so great is how well the soundtrack fits the movie, better than I've ever heard.

		Studio 54, and the Disco Era in general were about Freedom, Great Music, Great People Watching, and in general having a hell of a goodtime.
		Clubs like Studio 54 were great palaces that broke down many barriers, and helped us escape the many issues facing the nation in the late 70's.
		54 is a movie starring Ryan Phillippe, Selma Hayak, Neve Campbell, and Mike Myers.

		In the late 1970's, New York City's glittering nightclub, Studio 54, was at its height of institutional disco greatness.
		In Mark Christopher's new film called '54,' Christopher barely upholds the action by using a gorgeous cast and some half-truths to help cover up the film's lame plot and flat dialogue.
		'54' follows a naive New Jersey teenager named Shane as he sheds his suburban roots to hotly pursue the excesses and pleasures at Studio 54.

		(September 7, 1998 WWLP) During the heyday of the Disco craze 20-years-ago, Studio 54 was the ultimate hang out for the in-crowd, the world's most exclusive club, where one man, Steve Rubell, ruled as ringmaster for this gaudy circus of social climbers.
		Studio 54 became the mecca for misguided studs like Ryan Phillipe, who equates success with tending bar for the rich and famous.
		Like most characters who would kill to make the scene, "54" does little more than put up a good front.

	Pantagraph.com - Craft's Movie Review: "54" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Stalled somewhere between "Valley of the Dolls" and "Showgirls," but not half as much fun as either, "54" is a stiffly embalmed attempt at synthesizing an era via the drugged-out, disco-driven microcosm of New York's legendary melting pot (slag heap?) for the rich, beautiful and infamous.
		With a subject this ripe for the picking, it's hard to believe that a duller job could be done chronicling the sex-drugs-disco orbit of the 1979-80 era, reduced here to a pretentious, disengaging muddle of stock characters and who-cares relationships.
		Despite all the drugs, disco and sex in the balcony, the movie trades in nothing but one lifeless cliché after another as Shane finds his way back to reality about the time the bubble bursts and the Boogie Nights come to a close.

		Actually, 54 is a decent flick, and you really don't even have to be big on 70's nostalgia or disco music to enjoy it.
		Phillipe is supposedly the center of the story, the young Jersey kid who makes it to Studio 54 in hopes of hitting it big.
		Breckin Meyer (the skateboarder from Clueless) and Salma Hayek aren't bad, either, as a married couple working at the club, with him aspiring to be a bartender and her aspiring to be the next disco diva.

		Actually, the best thing about this otherwise dull movie is the music — the soundtrack features well-known disco hits from Chic, Diana Ross and the Miracles.
		Working as a busboy, Shane falls in with a group of young dreamers, including coatcheck girl Anita (Salma Hayek), a would-be musician, and her husband, Greg (Breckin Meyer).
		"54" is rated R for profanity, scenes depicting drug use, simulated sex, lewd dancing and use of vulgar slang, male and female nudity, violent shoving and restraint, and use of ethnic slurs.

	OFFOFF film review CALLE 54 documentary movie by Fernando Trueba with Elaine Elias, Chano Dominguez, Paquito D'Rivera, ...
		Avoid the frustration of expecting "Calle 54" to be a documentary, and just let the irresistible sounds of the Latin jazz greats sweep you away.
		The strange thing about the Latin-music film "Calle 54" ("54th Street") is that you can find half a dozen things to complain about and yet enjoy every minute of the film completely.
		But the movie does hint at some interesting points about this music — especially the implication that New York has become the world's premier meeting place for music from all over the Spanish-speaking world, from Spanish flamenco to Caribbean salsa.
