After last years "Moulin Rouge" the musical was back, but that was only one, could there be two great musicals in a row?

Yes! "Chicago" delivers the goods big time.

Even though I am not a big fan of Renee Zelwegger she did a great job, as did Catherine Zeta-Jones and Richard Gere.

But the two that I thought stole the show were Queen Latifah and John C. Reilly. Their performances were downright spectacular.

The music and dancing is overwhelming. This is a movie that to me speaks volumes about creativity. The fact of taking a great stage experience and moving it to the big screen with the power and panache that it does is great.

Director Rob Marshall puts big stars together and creates a musical of monsterous porportions.

See this again and again.
