Oliver! is...
triumphant despite its bleakness
cheery in a dingy, very British way
a palatably disturbing call to class warfare and critique of the reigning capitalist paradigm
not as dark as Dickens
a period piece that transcends both time and genre
a musical with guts
a hodgepodge songfest populated with unsavory characters
the Fagin Agoniste
acres and acres of saccharine
the must-see movie of 1968 after Planet of the Apes, Night of the Living Dead, The Producers, Romeo and Juliet, 2001: A Space Odyssey, and Yellow Submarine
a movie I haven't seen in a great, great while
blurb-worthy
[first in a series]

Are you a poet because your grammatically challenged? I like your site very much.
I am on a blogging safari, so if we are to meet again please post on my site.
This man taught me that that "your" is a possessive pronoun while "you're" indicates that you possess or are certain adjectives.
michelle: Usually I'm pretty decent with grammar, but much worse as a poet.
If you're on a safari, think of this blog as one of those knickknack tourist-trap shops by the oasis. Thanks for stopping by.
thetachyix: I taught you that? I must have been in rare form.
