Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit (1993)

Gets Me Every Time..!!

[8/10 · 29 January 2009]

I just love this movie. I find Sister Act 2 just as enjoyable as the first. Both bring back lots of great memories of when I directed a Spanish choir at my church when I was in high school (gosh) twenty years ago.

The music is fun, and yes the plot can be a little sappy at times. Definitely predictable. But at the end of a rough day when a little inspirational feel-good movie is needed, just can't go wrong with this little gem.

One thing though, after skimming through the comments posted here on this movie: the actors don't seem all that bored. Then again, I'm not a drama critic.. but I sure am a fan of Whoppi Goldberg and Maggie Smith.

"Go with God, Crispy." Love it!

Rosa salvaje (1987–1988)

Not the same classic!

I can't understand how Televisa can release this on DVD as a "classic."

The DVD's soundtrack has been dubbed over with new music. With the new music it is clearly regurgitated as a run-of-the-mill, everyday Mexican soap opera.

It's not the same classic. You can still hear the old music over the new recording, which is quite distracting. The new track overpowers the dialog at some points.

It is a hack-job, as it appears the show is re-edited and half of it is cut out. I can barely hear the old soundtrack over the new. Yet, as a die-hard fan somehow I'm able to enjoy the show.
