Description of Chicago [Blu-ray]:
Bob Fosse's sexy cynicism still shines in Chicago, a faithful movie adaptation of the choreographer-director's 1975 Broadway musical. Of course the story, all about merry murderesses and tabloid fame, is set in the Roaring '20s, but Chicago reeks of '70s disenchantment--this isn't just Fosse's material, it's his attitude, too. That's probably why the movie's breathless observations on fleeting fame and fickle public taste already seem dated. However, Renée Zellweger and Catherine Zeta-Jones are beautifully matched as Jazz Age vixens, and Richard Gere gleefully sheds his customary cool to belt out a showstopper. (Yes, they all do their own singing and dancing.) Whatever qualms musical purists may have about director Rob Marshall's cut-cut-cut style, the film's sheer exuberance is intoxicating. Given the scarcity of big-screen musicals in the last 25 years, that's a cause for singing, dancing, cheering. And all that jazz. --Robert Horton
Chicago [Blu-ray] Reviews:
Chicago (Blu-ray) 
2008-07-21 - Excellent, one of the best musicals ever made. The cast is terrific and they all did their own singing.
My surprise 
2008-07-14 - I didn't actually know this was a musical. I thought there was music, not many musical numbers. I was pleasantly surprised. The storyline was great. Catherine-Zeta Jones was phenomenal and gorgeous, while Rene Zelwegger was kind of annoying.
A most impressive display of 'Work Ethic' 
2008-07-07 - Here's a musical that stands head, shoulders and beautiful, bountiful etc. above the rest.
Imagine that you get into a time-machine and get out in mid-1920's Chicago. As soon as you arrive Catherine Zeta-Jones, Renee Zellweger and Richard Gere take you aside and traumatize your senses with the most incredible display of 'Anglo-Saxon work ethic' the world has ever seen!
Within a very short period of time you are transported to a smoky paradise of song and dance that somehow manages to sound to the core the tragicomic nature of our existence... So not only is it titillating, it's poetically, intellectually _stimulating_ as well... Hmmm, Yes! That's the ticket! Okay, let's just move on... ;]
Absolutely outstanding! 
2008-06-27 - One of the best purchases I've ever made! The movie itself is outstanding, but if you're at all interested in the additional material, you'll love it. Worth every penny!
