strictly freakin genius

Strictly Ballroom is a fantastic movie. I have a ridiculous love affair with this beautiful little movie. Nevermind I seem to enjoy whatever Paul Mecurio does (even Exit to Eden, yes), this film is just the right mixture of mushy and fun and silly and even intense. It's an updated and Australian Dirty Dancing... getting everything right this time. There's even some rythym-in-your-heart referencing, minus the classicly bad "gah-gunk." I was inspired to surf the web for PM and was delighted to find he has a blog. Unfortunately, the most recent entry hs to do with his resentment of the film and how it is all he is regularly recognized for. Oh, well. It brings me joy. :)
Go rent a copy... better yet, buy it. If you don't love it, I'll probably buy it off of you.
