Everybody Sing Along!!! It's Opera Time!

Every once in a while there is a movie that comes along that surprises you, that overwhelms you. Ladies and gents, Repo! The Genetic Opera is one of those films. Directed by Darren Lynn Bousman (Saw 2-4) and starring a fantastic cast featuring the likes of Alexa Vega (Spy Kids) Anthony Stewart Head (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Bill Moseley (The Devil's Rejects), Ogre (Skinny Puppy), Sarah Brightman (Broadway's stage production of Phantom of the Opera), Paul Sorvino (Goodfellas) and Paris Hilton (One Night in Paris HA!). This movie has it all.
Repo is not your ordinary gory slasher flick. Oh no. It's an opera, not a musical, an honest to goodness, practically every word sung, full on, OPERA! Wow. That takes balls to create something like Repo in this day and age.
Repo takes place in the not-so-distant future where the Largo family, Rotti (Sorvino), Luigi (Moseley), Pavi (Ogre) and Amber Sweet (Hilton) have made surgery sheik and affordable with a payment plan. But if you can't pay, the Repo Man will find you and take back your GenCo organs. Then there is Nathan (Head) and his daughter, Shilo (Vega). Nathan is being forced into working as a Repo Man for GenCo by Rotti. He keeps Shilo hidden away from the horrors of the world for fear of losing her like his wife. When Rotti takes Shilo to the Genetic Opera and introduces her to Blind Mag (Brightman), the voice of GenCo, the story really does take a twist.
This was one of the most well written, well directed, well sung movies I have ever seen. I was blown away from the start. Every performance was spot on. Sorvino using that magnificent classically trained voice of his. Mosely & Ogre working off of each other. Sarah Brightman doing what she does best, except this time on the screen instead of the stage. And as much as I hate to admit it, Paris Hilton did a fantastic job as Amber. This movie really is a feast for the ears and the eyes. There is not one bad thing I can say about this movie. Not one. Go out, buy it. Go! NOW! STOP READING AND GO!!!

I do believe this will be the first movie that warrants 5 skulls in all categories!
