	MIM Movie Review
		"Chicago" strives hard to be "sexy" while integrating older Amerikan music forms, a mixture of things as far back as the 1920s, but it does this retro act in the context of something that is far from a dead issue--the criminal justice system and the death penalty in particular.
		The movie is about their characters' pursuit of fame along these lines in show business.
		It is the fact that "Chicago" touches on such substantial issues of the criminal justice system while muddying the line between entertainment and violence that makes "Chicago" both as a Broadway play and as a movie awkward from beginning to end.

	Chicago (2002) Movie Review
		The choreography is, strongly translated from the late Fosse's stage version to the screen, and the songs work in the context of the story in a way the music of Moulin Rouge never really did.
		Chicago is a story of music and murder and tabloid fame set in the end of the jazz age, but its story is even more trenchant with today's everyone's-a-celebrity mindset.
		Other surprises are the vocals by Queen Latifah as Big Mama, the head of the cell block, and John C. Reilly, who does a surprisingly supple turn on his spotlight tune "Mr.

	Chicago (2002)
		One great scene in the movie is that of Richard Gere, using Renée Zellweger like a ventriloquist's dummy, singing and having a press conference at the same time, with the press, as dummies to, in the background.
		And as for Velma Kelly, well, she goes through a change as well; she starts off competing with Roxie, but learns to accept her, which is evident at the end of the film.
		From start to finish, there is nothing else like her; it is refreshing to see a great movie honoured with an acting statuette for a truely great performance.

	Chicago (2002) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The movie follows the lives of two women, living in the tough city of "Chicago" in the 1920's.
		Velma Kelly (played by Catherine Zeta Jones) is a sexy stage performer, who finds herself thrown into prison after a fit of rage results in the death of both her husband and her sister who have been carry on an illict affair with each other.
		Looking every inch the star, she commands a strong presence in the film, and appears right at home handling both the singing and dancing aspects of the role with ease and class, not to mention a high degree of sexiness.

	Movie Review for Chicago - 2002-12-22
		The movie musical has been dead since classics like Grease disappeared from the marquee and unbearable oddities such as Xanadu and The Village People's Can't Stop The Music appeared in its place.
		It is that refined quality that she uses so delicately to trick the viewer into believing that she is innocent.
		Zellweger would have appeared to be in the wrong movie if it weren't for the fact that beneath her sugary exterior lies a sneaky, angel-faced quality.

		Drawn to the special angle of Roxie's case (the sweetest killer to hit Chicago), Flynn offers her a taste of stardom and her daydreams of singing on stage are juxtaposed with the action.
		On the DVD: Chicago on DVD demonstrates that the producers of Rob Marshall's Oscar-winning film obviously took to heart the lyrics "Give 'em the old Razzle Dazzle", as the widescreen 1.85:1 anamorphic transfer is rich with the lush colours, vibrant tones and sparkling audio that wowed audiences in the cinema.
		I have to say that even though "Chicago" is not at the exact same level as these two movies, it is good enough to leave a lasting impression.

		Below are sequentially ordered still images from the performance of the "Ezekial Young" verse of the musical number "Cell Block Tango" in the movie "Chicago." Note that this scene is from a dance number which combines suggestions of both violence and sensuality.

		CHICAGO has, of course, enough of a rudimentary plot to cement together the dance numbers, which are the film's raison d'être.
		It is the 1920s in Chicago and we enter this musical film through a saucy nightclub to see Velma Kelly (Catherine Zeta-Jones) performing a duo act of All that Jazz on her own.
		This movie is a fine example of how a musical film can succeed where its pertinent counterpart (as both films focus on a female on death row) Dancer in the Dark failed.

		When she shoots her philandering husband, she lands on Chicago's famed murderess row, retains Chicago's slickest lawyer, Billy Flynn, and becomes the center of the town's most notorious murder case--only increasing her celebrity.
		It is interesting to know that Chicago the musical debuted at about the same time that Helen Reddy was telling the world to hear her roar for a very obvious reason.
		The brash mystique of Moulin Rouge bucked the aging trend of the Wizard of Oz genre, and instead of carbon-copying a successful extravaganza, Chicago takes a different route altogether, setting the musical numbers on a dreamy stage motif instead of completely immersing them in jail cells, courtrooms or on the streets.

		When she shoots her philandering husband, she lands on Chicago's fames murderess row, retains Chicago's slickest lawyer, Billy Flynn, and is the center of the town's most notorious murder case, only increasing her celebrity.
		Chicago is based on an actual historical event, but more, it comes from the ingenious mind of Bob Fosse.
		Chicago, for my money, has got to be one of the most well rounded movies ever made.

		This movie adaptation of Bob Fosse's 1975 Broadway musical is about two dreamers, Velma Kelley (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and Roxie Hart (Renée Zellweger).
		Velma is the Windy City's top nightclub star until the night she guns down her cheating husband, after which she becomes an even bigger celebrity, thanks to smooth attorney Billy Flynn (Richard Gere).

		As most movie musicals take a Broadway score and butcher it with bland pop sensibility and overblown orchestral arrangements, those behind this recording chose to keep it on the minimalistic side, as it should be.
		CHICAGO, the movie, is one of the strongest stage-to-film transitions to come out in a long time.
		The soundtrack to the Oscar winning "Chicago" is one of those you can listen to all the way through and feel satisfyed when the last track finishes.

		"The screen 'Chicago' is missing the hard, perverse edginess that made the Broadway revival so effective...the edges have been rounded, the ironies softened and replaced with flashy camera work and cutting."
		"Chicago may or may not be a movie for the ages, only time will tell, but its theme of instant celebrity is topical and its music and acting are entertaining for the nonce."
		Chicago is a decent film, a real toe-tapper directed with much flair and performed with competence - but ONLY competence."

	Movie Habit: Review of Chicago (2002), **** (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Ladies and gentlemen, you are about to see a story of murder, greed, corruption, violence, exploitation, adultery and treachery — all those things we all hold near and dear to our hearts.
		The conceit of Chicago’s latest film adaptation (Roxie Hart starred Ginger Rogers in 1942, and it was previously filmed in 1927) is that all the musical numbers are vaudeville acts running through Roxie’s fertile imagination.
		As genuine as those sentiments may be, more worthwhile are the bits on the history of Chicago, which is enough material to work as a complete documentary in-and-of itself (the movie is based on the stage musical, but the story has gone through other incarnations and is itself loosely based on actual events).

	Chicago (2002) :-:NetMovies:-:
		Fame hungry Roxie Hart dreams of a life on the Vaudville stage, and spends her nights jazzing it up in the bright lights of Chicago, continually hoping that she'll find her lucky break, and be shot into 1920's stardom, so able to flee her boring husband Amos.
		Billy is more a showbiz P. R agent than a legal lawyer and minipulates the tabloids into thinking Roxie is no more than an innocent 'good time girl' who took the wrong path, than a scheming murderess.
		the tv version of "chicago" is nothing comapred to the theartical version - moral of the story, if you wanna see a musical, then pay a visit to the local theater.
