What a Glorious Feelin'

Zach and I watched Singin' in the Rain last night (neither of us had ever seen it before--can you believe it?), and I have to say that I kind of loved it. I didn't really expect to enjoy a movie billed as a "Technicolor Musical Treasure," but rather than being saccharine and unbearable, it was surprisingly fun and refreshing. Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds, and Donald O'Connor are all consummate entertainers (especially Donald O'Connor, whose aptly titled solo number, "Make 'Em Laugh," is a stand-out in the film). If you've never seen it or just haven't watched it in a while, put it in your Netflix queue...and then fight, or heck--give in to!, the urge to sing and tap dance your way down the street.
