The title says it all. I'm still singing 'I wanna rock!' due to the comedy musical, yes MUSICAL, Rock Of Ages starring lead newcomers Julianne Hough (Ryan Seacrest's girlfriend) and Diego Boneta with support from Paul Giamatti, Russell Brand, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Mary J. Blige, Alec Baldwin and Tom Cruise. Going in, I had NO idea I was about to be exposed to songs that I grew up with being sung by Cruise, Baldwin, Brand and the newcomers and heading out I'm still amped that I just watched 2 hours of foot tapping, head nodding, complete escapism whilst remembering where I was when I first heard 'I wanna know what love is' and 'Wanted Dead of Alive'. I was surprised when I saw the IMDB gave it a 6.3 rating AND upset that it's only made around the $40m mark at the Box Office (it cost $75m to make). Pity, because the performance by Cruise alone was worth the admission fee and my favourite part, a rather intimate scene between Baldwin and Brand...watch it to see what I mean.
