Must see newsie flicks.

[aerliin]

Who DOESN'T like a good movie or TV show featuring one of the Newsies actors? Here are some good ones:

Christian Bale.
Christian Bale's best movie, I'd have to say, is Mary Harron's screen adaption of the Brett Easton Ellis novel "American Psycho". Not every actor can make a serial killer womanizer a likable character. It's even funny at parts. Watch it, you won't be disappointed! (Though it is rated R for lots of violence, language, drug use, and graphic sex, FYI)

Howl's Moving Castle- The character Howl is voiced by Bale. Beautiful movie.

Swing Kids- Seriously kick-ass movie that takes place in Nazi Germany in 1942. What better way for teenagers to rebel against Hitler than swing dancing?

Max Casella

I am a pretty big fan of The Sopranos. I LOVED the series finale. Though, Casella had a pretty small role throughout the entire series.

Doogie Howser M.D.- Great show, I absolutely love Neil Patrick Harris anyways. But Casella's character Vinnie was pretty d**n annoying in my opinion. Half the time I wanted to blue-skidoo into the show and punch him in the face.

Aaron Lohr
Mighty Ducks. Love the series. They just kick major ass.

Rent- One of my guilty pleasures. Gahh. I love the stage show, but the movie is cool too (Lohr has a small role as Steve)

Luke Edwards
Okay, really, this guy hasn't done anything, really. But come on, who doesn't like "Jeepers Creepers"?

Little Big League- This movie sucked, but I found it hilarious how much Edwards physically matured in it (this movie came out a year after newsies). It's like he started and finished puberty in a week. (Casella was probably v. jealous) Rent it just to see for yourself.



Ehh. For now, that's all I got. I'll post more later!

For other Michael Goorjian i.e. Skittery fans, the movie which he directed, wrote and starred in, Illusion, is a must see. I bought it off of amazon and it was totally worth it. It's amazing

[Snick]

I really badly want to see Swing Kids, and Christian Bale looks amazing in Little Women.

Sadly, not very many of the Newsies went on to have big carreers

I was looking through a Child Star Magazine, and Guess who was in it? Christian Bale!!!!! But they didn't say anything about Newsies, just Empire of the Son and Batman

[Schrei]

For Michael Goorjian - SLC Punk. I dunno if it's everybody's cup of tea--I can see a lot of peopel on here not liking it, no offense--but I LOVED it.

[aerliin]

SLC Punk? Jeez, how did I forget about that one? I absolutely thought it was freaking amazing

I have three words for Illusion: ASS ASS ASS.

Am I really the only one who thought it sucked more than Monica Lewinsky? What a horrible film!

[Rif-Raf]

I love empire of the sun and I really want to see swing kids!

[forabuckimight]

That was Bale in Howl's Moving Castle??? I love that movie! Ahh, I should've known. And I've seen Swing Kids once a couple of years ago. It's a great movie, but when I saw it, I had never heard of Newsies or Christian Bale. What a naive child I was. I should watch it again!

[Rif-Raf]

when did you first see newsies?

[Kitty]

I think Little Women is pretty great with Christian. *kicks Winona/Jo for being a meanie to him*

His facial hair near the end sorta bothers me, but oh well

[stubby]

For another Christian movie, 'I'm Not There' is really cool. Extremely artsy and R-rated (nothing too graphic, just a mild sex scene, swearing, and a little drugs). Christian is the annoyed-with-the-world incarnation of Bob Dylan (Jack Rollins is his name) who finds God and becomes a minister. His voice is way different.

[Rif-Raf]

lol, in batman, every time he spoke in his raspy voice, me and my brother cracked up!

[Pitch]

I thought the voice thing was funny too! Then I found THIS making fun of it:

BWAHAHA!!! XDDD

[stubby]

LAWL. When I first saw BB in theatres ages ago, me and my friend came out laughing at the end because of his bizzarely toned last line ('And you'll never have too', but he sounds like a constipated Kermit) and didn't stop cracking up for, like, thirty minutes. Turns out that Christian does some sort of deepening thing and then they modulate it with computers post-production. They could do without the computers funking it up, I think.

That video cracks me up every time I see it. 'I think you may have a severe case of throat cancer.' 'Idonthavethroatcancer!' 'What? See, what was that? That was no language that's understood by humans! Are you speaking Bat? Is that what Bat sounds like?'

(sort of a Batman geek)

[Pitch]

Computers?! FAIL! Mr. Bale dun need that. DDDX

XD That's my favourite part! x3

I'm totally into Batman too! I know TONS about every single Batman movie and most things about the cartoons too.~ I know the actors and everything and stupid little facts and such. XD I could go on and on about them. o.o
Mark Hamill may just be in a bit of a tie with Mr. Ledger as Joker, though.
*Waits to be flogged.*

[Kitty]

That video was amazing. AMAZING.

I'm done now.
