CROSSROADS

One of my Pals said Britney Spears is the most beautiful girl in America , I told him
I watch her since the days she used to be the host of Mickey Mouse Club along with
Christina Aguilara.

Crossroads is such a nice word, if used properly a good movie could have been made.
Challenging the comfort Zone. When I see a singers Video Track my brain registers her looks and everythings else she does in the Track in relation to her Voice, Voice is prime and other things are secondary.

Watching Crossroads as a member of the audience we everyone of us is at a crossroad in
his life for Job, Love, Family, Education, Money or some other thing I cannot concieve of.

It takes a master artist to Capture/attack/conqure the anticipation created by the title of the movie.

Britney Spears acclaimed singer chose to become a actress in a lead role, I
have heard from a reliable source at the end of Premiere of this movie her famous words
were OOps ! I did it again.

The cast is carefully chosen, the hero who does not look heroic, the 2 best friends, one
wheat coloured beauty and other with lots of freckles, so they dont outshine the heroine.
I cannot let this chance slip, I must ask where there is no shine the question of outshine
does not arise ?

The dresses for other artists and Britney Spears maintains a sober distinction, even
the gloss of makeup was highlighting for and subdued for
others, all these careful preparations could not hide the plump figure of, Britney in many obvious places, which was disgraceful to watch whether in closeup or wide angle frames.

I wonder the director advised a diet of Robert De Niro (Raging Bull) to >Britney insted of
Arnold Schwarzenegger who gave up 75 kilos of his body weight to give successfully the shot
in the film Conan the Barbarian where he is tied to a old tree.

Thats professionalism, sometimes its not wise to challenge the comfort zone. The thing
stuck me like a demolishing metal ball was her dialogue delivary it was all thru her nose
and its affect on me was OH GOD ! I should get my ears checked , this is the diva of Sound
and Voice, the defect must be in my ears surely.

Singers should remain singers and Actors should remain Actors OOPS !!! I forgot to give
the story : Three friends bury a box making a pact to open at high school graduation. One
a Beauty/Engaged/Pregnant , They all decide to go together to Los Angeles. There is a
nice song in the movie, I am not a girl not yet a woman I needed time for myself to recover
from this movie.

Britney Spears has a very beautiful voice which she uses to win in an audition , There she
looks in control of everything the stage , the judges, even me and I am sure whoever was
watching the movie at that point. Her journey to her mother proves disappointing and later
tells her father not to make her run away like he did to her mother. Poor chap agrees to
let her go where her heart is with the unheroic BEN and all the girls go thru one sad event
in life, they bury the remanants of sad times in the sands of L.A. and promise to stick with their good friendship.

I will give here an apt example of crossroads mother Shirley MacLaine in Terms of
Endearments gets a call from her daughter Debra Winger that she is expecting a first born,
the mother angrily says abort it, I am too young to be called a grandmother.

My focus during this film was on the face, acting and playing the role by Britney rather
than her beautiful voice, that did it to me, she tried to push the envelop of her artistic
persuatiation.

My personal crossroad is to bury this film with this review on Mouthshut. I think her eyes will disqualify her for the title of BEAUTIFUL.
