10/10
The Idolmake is GREAT!
22 January 2005
I just read the comments from My DarkStar and I absolutely agree. This is one of my favorite films of all time!! I saw this movie when I was a kid and i Have grown up watching it and listening to the soundtrack. It was directed by Taylor Hackford who recently directed 'Ray' another outstanding movie. You can actually see some of the techniques he used from 'The Idolmaker' in 'Ray'. The only thing that would make me even happier is to have the soundtrack of 'The Idolmaker'released on cd. If you haven't seen it yet, I advise you to check it out, it's not hard to find anymore. It is available on DVD. The songs are catchy and catch the feel of the time period. The choreography (by Denny Terrio) is a bit dated, but its still fun to watch. Also, it was reported about 2 or 3 years ago, Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, was supposed to do a remake. It would of been interesting to see what would have become of it, but I'm sure it wouldn't have topped the original. Haven't heard any updates about it though. ENJOY!!!
