One girl Ali who is dreaming to become the star of burlesque lounge lived in Iowa at first. But one day, she quite her part time job and decied to go to L.A. She reached L.A. and found good burlesque. Her choosed burlesque was so fantastic. Tess who is a owner of the burlesque sung alone. It made Ali to become like her. Ali asked Tess that let her become dancer. But she said no. Ali didn't never give up and she worked the burlesque as a weiter.

One day Tess auditioned Ali and she became dancer. She practiced dance very hard. Nikki who is the star of burlesque lounge couldn't be on the stage. That's because she was drinking before the dance. So Ali danced a substituted for her. During dancing and singing, Nikki put out of the mike's code. So Ali and the other dancer coudn't sing. Tess let staff to close curtain but suddenly Ali sung with no mike. Everyone was surprised that and of course Tess too. Tess let staff to rise the curtain. The stage was succeed and Ali became the star of burlesque.

I really liked the movie. Christina Aguirala's dance and her voice was so amaging. There is a love story too. Jack who is bartender was dreaming to become famouse song writer. And he had a fiancee. But he fell in love with Ali. So he parted his fiancee and keep up with Ali. They were very good cuple I thought.

However, the catsle burned out and his father was dead. And one old man was here. He is Robin's father's attendant. He fighted with Ghum. Ghum is very bad man. He wanted to get marry with Marian. Marian is Robin's lover. I surprised scene was a witch who is very strange and scary woman was Ghum's mother. My favorite scene is Robin found that one boy is his brother. They huged each other, I was very impressed. Last scene: wedding scene is so good. Robin and Marian is best couple I think.

Next, I talk about Russel Crowe virsion. First, King Richard's die was very surprised for me. That's because, Kevin Costner's virsion, King Richard came Robin and Marian's wedding. And bad man was different too. Not Ghum. It's King Jon and French's King. My favorite scene was Robin kissed Marian. Marian had hasband, but he was killed. Then, sir Walter who is Marian's father let Robin to become Marian's hasband. They know each other more and more, they loved each other. Anyway, Russel Crowe was very cool!!lol

I and my friend lined up to buy EXILE goods. We lined up about 3 hours! It was borning. The live was very very fantastic! I was impressed them. Their performance is very good.

Second live was 2 years ago. The live place was Marin Messe in Fukuoka. It was smaller than yahoo dome. When I watched first live, there are 6 people. But this time was 14 people. New member came in EXILE. The stage was fantastic too. And my seat was very close from the stage. So I could watch some member close.
