ROCK OF AGES
4 out of 5 stars

you can pour your sugar on me ANYTIME, stacee jaxx! :P

ahh, the 80s... who could forget the music? the hair? sexy rockers like axl rose and bret michaels? do i even need to summarize the plot of this one? we start with a small town girl with big dreams of becoming a star sing her way from OK to LA (julianne hough- PERFECT for the role of sherrie IMO), where she meets barback drew (diego boneta- meh) after she gets mugged by some stringy-haired creep. (how dare he take her records!!! ::shakes fist::) as it turns out, drew works at the bourbon room (owned/operated by a really grossed out alec baldwin and russell brand), and sherrie too gets a job as a waitress there. the bourbon room also happens to be in major debt, and only one man can save it financially... STACEE JAXX. (tom cruise NAILS this role!) stacee has one last concert with his band arsenal before he goes solo, so... this also means major opportunity for drew as his debut as wolfgang von colt! (i know...what a stage name) of course, you have to have a “bad guy”, and in this case, it’s patricia whitmore (catherine zeta jones), wife of mayor mike whitmore, who HATES stacee...maybe because of her past? ohhhhh, stacee... he totally makes this movie! ;)

ridiculous, cheesy, another GAY FAVE of the year! (i mean, you got the director of hairspray directing this one!) i wouldn’t say it’s as good as hairspray, but it’s pretty well produced and good actors doing things out of their element i.e. tom cruise as a drunk-ass jaded rocker sex icon and he totally brings this one together. the storyline is shallow like a watered down drink at a crappy bar, but hey! who needs story when you have SINGING?  esp. songs from def leppard, foreigner, and journey?!  talk about a movie that ROCKS OUT WITH YOUR COCK OUT. see it now if you can handle the awesomeness of stacee jaxx. :P
