positive · AI labelView post →The movie August Rush taught me how to find the music in everything. Stomp! was another great example of raising the ordinary to extraordinary musically.
positive · AI labelView post →Batman v Superman is definitely on my list, but I saw the movie August Rush at the dollar theater and almost asked for my dollar back. It was that atrocious. I was livid.
negative · AI labelView post →I just watched August Rush again, and cried and was moved and enchanted and delighted and swept into the power of a modern musical fairy tale. You guys... It's SUCH a GOOD movie! Epic #storytelling #music #family #love #longing #magic
positive · AI labelView post →The Fisher King for me. Though I have a soft spot for the very reprehensible character he plays in Dead Again. (And while I don't love the film August Rush, I did appreciate the way that Williams is acting in a much more fucked-up version of the film than any of his co-stars.)
neutral · AI labelView post →Omg August Rush is such an incredible movie!!
positive · AI labelView post →Missed that reply...but she got a code elsewhere & is here now...all is well, thanks! August Rush is delightful. You will like it. Young male actor is fantastic. Kerry Russel also, always liked her. She's in another not-so-well-know favorite of mine, "Waitress". Another heart to the max film.😌

neutral · AI labelView post →3/ This week, I’ve been transcribing “August’s Rhapsody” (technically “Rhapsody in C Major”) from the 2007 film ‘August Rush’, about a young orphan who uses music to try and find his parents. It’s a cute modern-fairy-tale sorta flick, and the music – composed by Mark Mancina – is a tour de force.
positive · AI labelView post →I’ll give you a pass I guess lol. You seen August Rush? That was his first movie role
