The Biggest Disappointments
- West Side Story: After all the awards this film won, I was hoping for something really special. Instead, I got basically a racist rewrite of Romeo and Juliet. True, the cinematography was amazing but apart from Natalie Wood, the actors weren't anything special. Worst of all, being a musical, I was expecting some great songs. In fact, I was hoping to recognise a tune or two so I could say "ah... so that's where it comes from". Unfortunately, the music and lyrics seemed slapped together without a whole lot of care. If anything, it gave me good insight into why Andrew Lloyd Weber is so brilliant.
