Dream Girls

"Dream Girls", haven't seen it, probably won't. The music industry bio-pic is one of my least favorite genres. Though about as conceptually interesting as Sly Stallone stepping into the ring again, "Dream Girls" does represent an obvious movie industry trend. Hollywood has found a new cash cow, bio-pics of 60's music stars, featuring the redesigned Johnny Cash, Ray Charles and now the Supremes. Dating back to "A Coal Miner's Daughter" and the "Rose" (with some clunkers like the "Doors" thrown in),this stuff has filled seats and won awards. We can now look forward to Beyonce winning an Oscar, (an affront to any legitimate actor), and seeing a flick on the Four Tops or Sly Stone at a cineplex near you in the very near future. Anybody seen Diana Ross lately? Scary stuff!
