This past weekend I went to see "Fame" and I liked it. Even though I like the remake of "Fame" it did not stand up to the original. First off the fame remake was not long enough to sufficiently follow students through all the experiences of a four year art school experience. The original "Fame" took the time to establish and evolve the characters so that the audience my empathize with the situations the characters are going through. One of my other issues with the 2009 version of this movie is that it was not ballsy enough to go the extra mile ( ie.What Coco *1980* goes through during her "audition" was brutal by comparison to what happened to Kay*2009*). The remake of "Fame" would have been fine as a stand alone movie though it should have never been so bold as to try and sell itself with "Fame" as its title.

The first time I ever watched Patrick Swayze was in "Dirty Dancing" (one of my favourite movies) and was amazed at his dancing and acting skills!Patrick's dancing "Dirty Dancing" was a great inspiration in my love for dance.Later I would enjoy his acting in "Ghost" and now the last scene will make me even more heavy hearted than it already does. When I heard that his cancer was terminal I was greatly saddened that the world would lose such a talent.Soon after learning his cancer was terminal I watched a Barbra Walters interview with him and his wife and witnessed the great love they share.May God be with his poor wife at this time!
