Ain't nothing but a good time

I don't see many movies, so when I do see one, I may as well review it. I went to see Rock of Ages on a whim at 10:05pm. I'm usually in bed by 10:05pm.

I'm not a big Tom Cruise fan. I think he's weird. His role in this movie didn't seem to be much of a stretch from his off-screen personality. That's probably why I didn't mind watching him in this movie too much. I was prepared for his presence to ruin the movie for me, but it didn't. I think they probably picked the right guy for the role.

This movie is a musical with not one original song. I new the words to every 80's rock song that was sung (and there were many). Overall it was a good movie. It had all of the stuff you would expect: 80's rock-n-roll sex, drinking, excess, and bad clothes, along with the anti-rock-n-roll protesters. The only real disappointment was that the songs were all covered by the actors, and I really wanted to hear the originals.
