Year: 2007
Director: Adam Shankman
Plot: Adam Shankman's adaptation of the stage musical Hairspray, itself an adaptation of the non-musical John Waters film of the same name, stars Nikki Blonsky as Tracy Turnblad, an overweight high-school student whose only dream is to be on a local Baltimore teen dance program. While her father (Christopher Walken) tells her to follow her dreams, her mother Edna (John Travolta in drag) reminds her that she doesn't look like the girls on that show. After impressing the show's host (James Marsden), Tracy earns a coveted spot on the program, but when she becomes a popular addition to the cast, she earns the wrath of the prettiest girl in school -- a girl whose mother (Michelle Pfeiffer) just happens to operate the local television station. Tracy's visit to detention hall opens her eyes to the racial tension on the show, as does the budding relationship between her best friend (Amanda Bynes) and an African-American boy named Seaweed (Elijah Kelley). Thus empowered, Tracy attempts to integrate the races on her favorite program. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

Body: In no particular order: 1.) Persepolis - I really enjoyed this animated bildungsroman. 2.) 300 - I know it got a lot of flack, but damn if it wasn't one of the coolest looking movies. Nudity, blood, gore, and violence to the umpteenth degree. No extraneous thought necessary and I liked it. 3.) Year of the Dog - Molly Shannon in an amazing role for her. The vegan, PETA freak subject matter turned a good amount of people off this film but definitely worth a look. 4.) Waitress - Keri Russel is just so darn lovable in this flick it's practically unbearable. 5.) Grindhouse - Again, lots of divided people with this one. Some loved just one of the two films or hated it with a passion. I loved the whole thing (especially the faux trailers during intermission). 6.) Southland Tales - The convoluted plot and army of bizarre characters made this one unwatchable for some . . . but not for me. 7.) Margot at the Wedding - Just a great little emotional romper-stomper screwball comedy. 8.) Angel-A - Luc Besson is the shit. In a non-stinky poo kind of way. Great movie. 9.) Smiley Face - Completely unlike Gregg Araki's other films, but Anna Faris is unbelievably hilarious in this film. 10.) Ira & Abby - Quirky romantic comedy. I'm a sucker for those. Some family flicks that were also pretty good: Hairspray - Nothing like the original, but decent nonetheless. The Last Mimzy - Adorable little sci-fi flick for kids. Shrek the Third - I actually thought I would despise this considering the second film in the series annoyed me considerably, but I actually enjoyed it. Enchanted - Amy Adams carried this live-action fairy tale.

Body: Released: July 13, 2007 (Los Angeles)Director: Adam Shankman*****Between the new version of Hairspray and the success of the High School Musical films on The Disney Channel, you'd think we've entered a new era of the cinema musical. Sure, there's lots of jumping, jiving and wailing (wait, wrong type of music...) in this update, along the requisite young person angst about "love" and a dated morality tale about race integration, but the movie never rises above what it is: a movie.Thick Tracy Turnblad has one mission in life: to dance on The Corny Collins Show, a dance program featuring local Baltimore talent. Her plus sized mother Edna patently refuses since girls like her don't get on television. Tracy goes anyway and becomes a sensation. Her righteous indignation gets the best of her during Negro Day on the show, provoking the girl to join the African American kids in a march on the station and its villainous manager Velma von Tussle.For some reason I'm ambivalent about Hairspray. It's not a bad production; the acting is acceptable, the dancing and singing are well done; and no one takes the movie too seriously. It just doesn't knock my socks off in the same way Chicago or Moulin Rouge did. (And Rent and The Phantom of the Opera are in their own categories. Maybe it's the fact the movie takes place in a pre-integration time period and characters throughout the film see nothing wrong in keeping people separate. Maybe I never became emotionally invested in any of the characters, all of them outsiders in some way. Maybe its John Travolta in a fat suit. I'm just not sure.Nikki Bonsky as Tracy got the lion share of the acclaim when the film premiered to the detriment of two of her costars: Michelle Pfieffer as von Tussle and James Marsden as Corny Collins. When either of them are on the screen, it's impossible to take your eyes off them. Pfieffer because of her catty villain; Marsden because he soaks up the (no pun intended) corny Corny Collins personae. He truly has fun in the role...and if he isn't, he's doing a good job acting. Queen Latifah, Allison Janney, Jerry Stiller, Christopher Walken, Zac Effron, Amanda Bynes...they're all good. There comes a moment late in the film when so many recognizable actors have been on screen, the entire affair feels like a charity event instead of a movie. The original's writer/directo John Waters cameos early, Ricki Lake (also from the original) cameo's late. Maybe that's why I'm lukewarm to Hairspray despite everything it has going for it. Playing "Guss the Actor" ruins the illusion of an alternate reality.

Body: Hairspray puzzles me. Why remake a movie like this? Why randomly keep some elements of John Water’s 1988 version and jettison the ones that actually develop the plot? I really don’t understand this Hollywood trend of taking a good movie converting it into a musical and then turning the musical back into a movie? Is there an example of this working out, ever? This is the basic plot of the movie: Tracy Turnblad (Nikki Blonsky) wants to become popular in high school by dancing on the Corny Collins Show, a local version of American Bandstand. But because Tracy is overweight and unpopular, the student council rejects her. Tracy gets thrown into detention, where all the black students are dancing. They teach her how to dance better. She gets on the show, but gets into trouble when she tries to promote racial integration. She then decides to work to get both black and white kids dancing on the stage at the same time. John Travolta puts in a drag performance as Tracy’s mother Edna. Why? Because in the original movie, John Water’s favorite transvestite, Divine, played the role. So when it was turned into a stage musical, Harvey Fierstein played that role. Apparently the director thought that it had to be played in drag. But there is nothing clear in the movie why you would make that casting decision. As for his acting, this is one of Travolta’s worst performances. He came up with an accent that has never seen the light of day within a hundred miles of the city. He chews his way through every scene like it is an extremely fatty ham. Christopher Walken manages to put in a fairly decent performance, despite weak material. He tries to add depth to his role as Tracy’s caring but but somewhat clueless father. Michelle Pfieffer does a good job as the evil, racist, overbearing mom who is also the station manager that keeps her daughter on the top of the show. As for the rest of the cast, (Zac Efron, Brittany Snow, James Marsden and Queen Latifah) they just walk through their cardboard roles without trying to inject any kind of life into them at all. Queen Latifah does manage to get one line of her leaden dialogue delivered as a laugh, but it is such a rarity that it sit there out of place. The music and dance scenes of this movie are the most disappointing elements. The strange but authentic early 60s one hit wonders that filled the original film were ditched for generic songs that could have been pulled from or dropped into any mediocre musical of the past 20 years. As for the dancing, I was hopeful that since the director was also the choreographer the dancing would be a highlight. Sadly, that never comes to pass. The dancing is almost treated in a second hand fashion. The movie also goes pretty far in sanitizing itself and removes all of the subversive elements that made the original so quirky and interesting. The beatniks who give Tracy her sense of style and second hand hits of pot are gone. All the hints that Mr. Pinky, the dressmaker, was a chubby chaser are ditched. The dance off featuring Tracy in a dress covered in fabric cockroaches is also missing. Did anybody really need a movie in 2007 to say that racism is wrong?

Body: HAIRSPRAY is a likable, well executed musical but the performance of John Travolta in the role of Edna is so ineptly handled and so uncomfortable to watch, that it knocks a decent little movie down at least one star in the ratings. Everyone else equips themselves nicely. Nikki Blonsky as Tracy Turnblad fits the fat suit well (actually I think that's her real figure). She makes you forget very quickly about Ricki Lake's enjoyable turn in the John Waters film of the same name. Christopher Walken underplays his role as Tracy's father and this actually helps the film by giving his scenes a believability not present in Travolta's scenes. Zac Efron does a nice job as the young dance show stud who is cool enough to cross racial lines and look beyond appearances in order to pursue true cool. The musical numbers are all expertly staged by director Adam Shankman. James Marsden is only a little off in his performance (perhaps he was uncomfortable with the dancing and that trailed over into his performance). This is a small criticism. The centerpiece of the movie, however, is Travolta. This stunt casting is all about him and his presence on screen and how it will change the movie. Unfortunately it changes everything for the worse. Nearly everything he does feels phony and amateurish. Although the makeup and fat suit are undeniably a burden most actors have to overcome when playing such a role, this is not really the main problem. The problem is more that from the inflections to the strange "Baltimore" accent, every single acting choice Travolta makes is a bad one. This is a shame because otherwise this is a decent film. It even incorporates issues of racial intolerance and weight related discrimination into its script (this isn't a bad thing). The movie's dialogue and some of its scenes are occasionally racy (and that's not a bad thing either). As this is a musical, the whole affair could have been oh-so-Lion King (and that WOULD have been a bad thing). Instead there is a little hint of John Waters left in it in traces. This includes an early cameo by him as a flasher. We appreciate that. Now, if only the added value on the dvd could tell us why Travolta made the acting choices he did. I would have liked to have been a fly on the wall during that first rehearsal.

Body: Here it is, one final post relating to the movies of 2007. This in my opinion is really the only list that counts. Here I'm not talking about the supposed best films of the year (although some certainly are) but rather which ones I personally loved most. This time I'm actually going to place them in order though. So sit back and relax as I unveil my top ten favorite films of 2007. (Sadly, 'Bratz' is not one of them.)[10] 'Black Snake Moan'I love Samuel L. Jackson. He's the only reason I'm even interested in the upcoming action-flick 'Jumper.' His role in 'Black Snake Moan' as the bluesman Lazarus was something completely different for him. This was a movie which basically boils down to being about a black man reaching out to a lust driven white girl in an attempt at helping her with her sickness. Sounds a little dirty when in fact their relationship in the film is anything but. The sad thing is this turned out to be a defining role for Jackson and most people have never even heard of the film. Kudos to Craig Brewer for creating such a different story for us to experience.[09] 'Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End'After the disgusting fiasco in 2006 better known as 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest' I must say I was taken back by the fact I actually enjoyed 'At World's End.' This guilty pleasure not only is one of my favorite films of 2007, but is also my greatest theater-going experience of the year. For me there has always been something about being at large showings that just gets me excited. The sold out premiere that took place on Thursday May 24 did just that. Seeing this surprisingly fun flick with my dad in a theater packed to the brim with lovers, haters & newcomers to the 'Pirates' franchise was fantastic.[08] 'Across the Universe''Across the Universe' was definitely the film I anticipated most of all in 2007. After months and months of waiting I was rewarded with an additional three weeks of waiting due to the ridiculous snobs at Revolution Studios. I bet they sure had their share of laughs once the film failed at the box office. To them I say, fuck you. Even though it turned out to not quite be as amazing as I had envisioned it still remains to be among my favorites. From the creative army induction scene to Mr. Kite's whimsical circus almost every moment of it is pure gold. Plus, now every time my ears are filled with Joe Anderson and Salma Hayeks rendition of "Happiness Is a Warm Gun" I'm instantly transported to another place located somewhere between joy and delight.[07] 'Atonement''Atonement' is an interesting movie. I liked how it was artsy enough to be considered among the Oscar front-runners and mainstream enough to feature an ending that only had me reminiscing about 'Titanic' despite very large differences. I also liked how it was able maintain a balance of almost every genre. It had its funny moments, anger streaks, thrilling sequences, dramatic tone, & of course romance. Honestly, I liked it so much I'm anxious to read the novel it's based on which I'll begin once I finish with 'The Mist.'[06] 'Hairspray'Never would I have guessed that a movie starring Zac Efron would end up as being one of my favorites of the past year. I have to admit though, it was just so much fun to watch. And watch I did; five times while it played in theaters to be exact. One of those viewings was even at 10:40 in the evening after a storm had knocked out the power at my house during mid-August. There I was all alone in that big auditorium seeing John Travolta shimmy and shaking on screen to his hearts content as "You Can't Stop the Beat" played. Scarier things can't even be seen within the darkest of nightmares I guarantee.[05] 'Ratatouille'Going into 'Ratatouille' I wasn't really sure what to expect. Yes, it was directed by Brad Bird who created another highly acclaimed Disney-Pixar film titled 'The Incredibles' a few years prior so it had that going for it. But one has to question just how good a film about a rat who aspires to cook in Paris could be. Once it was all over and I had seen it, my only question from then on which I pondered many times was will any other film top that this year? The answer remains the same to this day: no. It was a perfect example of Disney at it's finest and I've yet to see a film released in 2007 that managed to be better than it in terms of movie making.[04] 'Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street'Another Tim Burton movie, another time Johnny Depp is cast as its lead. We've been down this road before except this time it was truly great. Since the ending wasn't a jaw-dropper it would only be necessary for there to be other reasons why it turned out to be so. Hence why such emphasis and recognition is required regarding the flair and style exhibited by the cast. Burton's wife Helena Bonham Carter as Mrs. Lovett proved to hold her own with her not-so-smooth but rather rough vocals required to pull off the performance. Depp who wasn't exactly awe-inspiring in the singing department but not dreadful either per say was equally impressive. The only real problem I had with 'Sweeney Todd:' was the CGI-heavy opening credits. I've always loved how Burton takes the audience on a ride through the world in which his film takes place. Here though I just didn't understand why it was needed to feature so much CGI in the sequence when the remainder had little to none. No biggie though, like I said I thought it was great.[03] 'Juno'This movie which was inspired by Jamie Lynn Spears' recent headlines (ha, ha, ha) was for me the funniest of the year. The dialogue in it is so smart and so honest I had a smile so wide I was poking the people sitting beside me in their each of their cheeks. The fact the little thirteen year-olds that were behind me on the way out after it was finished were spouting aloud how they liked 'Knocked Up' better filled me with complete and uncontrollable rage. Thus I was not at fault when I spun around and pummeled them to the floor leaving them drenched in a lukewarm puddle of Coke from their half-drank sixty-four ounce cups they bought at the concession stand earlier. Well, not really, but I would have immensely enjoyed doing so.[02] 'La Vie en Rose'No actress was more on point or convincing in 2007 than Marion Cotillard in this bio-pic. She was beyond beautiful to watch. Then there was the scenery which was almost as mesmerizing as she was. I'm a sucker for backgrounds and such, and boy let me tell you 'La Vie en Rose' delivered. The city of Paris was fascinatingly smutty and grungy (in a good way) while New York was alluring and gorgeous. The way the lights sparkled behind Cotillard and Martin before they depart for the first time at the hotels entrance was lovely. Anyone who has any interest in the life of Edith Piaf should absolutely see this movie.[01] 'Grindhouse'Amazing. Kickass. Awesome. Mind-blowing. Incredible. Marvelous. Wahootastic. Are there any other words that more perfectly describe my favorite film of the year? It really sucks that people just didn't get this great piece of cinema. I mean seriously how hard is to understand that Rose McGown sporting a machine-gun leg plus Kurt Russell killing people with a car equals three hours and twelve minutes of crazy cool? OH, POOR LITTLE TONY!!! MOMMY TOLD YOU TO BE CAREFUL WITH THAT GUN!!! Just great. Now I've gone and confused people who haven't seen it even more because they're not going to know what the hell that last bit even referred to. Oh well, here's to my involuntary continuing of the problem. Okay, I'm done. No more posts about 2007 I promise. All posts about movies from here on out will only pertain to that of releases of 2008. Once again, thank you to those that took the time to read. I love you all. Dedicated to all of my friends: those very special people who put up with my non-stop jabbering about movies.
]]>Thu, 03 Jan 2008 03:51:05 GMTThe1TheOnlyJPThe Paxton Log1/2/2008 10:51:05 PMHere it is, one final post relating to the movies of 2007. This in my opinion is really the only list that counts. Here I&#39;m not talking about the supposed best films of the year (although some certainly are) but rather which ones I personally loved most. This time I&#39;m actually going to place them in order though. So sit back and relax as I unveil my top ten favorite films of 2007. (Sadly, &#39;Bratz&#39; is not one of them.)[10] &#39;Black Snake Moan&#39;I love Samuel L. Jackson. He&#39;s the only reason I&#39;m even interested in the upcoming action-flick &#39;Jumper.&#39; His role in &#39;Black Snake Moan&#39; as the bluesman Lazarus was something completely different for him. This was a movie which basically boils down to being about a black man reaching out to a lust driven white girl in an attempt at helping her with her sickness. Sounds a little dirty when in fact their relationship in the film is anything but. The sad thing is this turned out to be a defining role for Jackson and most people have never even heard of the film. Kudos to Craig Brewer for creating such a different story for us to experience.[09] &#39;Pirates of the Caribbean: At World&#39;s End&#39;After the disgusting fiasco in 2006 better known as &#39;Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man&#39;s Chest&#39; I must say I was taken back by the fact I actually enjoyed &#39;At World&#39;s End.&#39; This guilty pleasure not only is one of my favorite films of 2007, but is also my greatest theater-going experience of the year. For me there has always been something about being at large showings that just gets me excited. The sold out premiere that took place on Thursday May 24 did just that. Seeing this surprisingly fun flick with my dad in a theater packed to the brim with lovers, haters &amp; newcomers to the &#39;Pirates&#39; franchise was fantastic.[08] &#39;Across the Universe&#39;&#39;Across the Universe&#39; was definitely the film I anticipated most of all in 2007. After months and months of waiting I was rewarded with an additional three weeks of waiting due to the ridiculous snobs at Revolution Studios. I bet they sure had their share of laughs once the film failed at the box office. To them I say, fuck you. Even though it turned out to not quite be as amazing as I had envisioned it still remains to be among my favorites. From the creative army induction scene to Mr. Kite&#39;s whimsical circus almost every moment of it is pure gold. Plus, now every time my ears are filled with Joe Anderson and Salma Hayeks rendition of &quot;Happiness Is a Warm Gun&quot; I&#39;m instantly transported to another place located somewhere between joy and delight.[07] &#39;Atonement&#39;&#39;Atonement&#39; is an interesting movie. I liked how it was artsy enough to be considered among the Oscar front-runners and mainstream enough to feature an ending that only had me reminiscing about &#39;Titanic&#39; despite very large differences.

Body: Here is my follow-up to last month’s question of what mainstream movie will feature on the most top ten movie lists. And the winner is … Ratatouille. Oh wait, didn’t I disqualify that one for being too obvious? No? Well, I should have. Yes, according to Movie City News’ Big Ass Chart (aka Scorecard) of critics’ top tens, the Pixar movie made it on to 51 best-of lists, making it the best-grossing best movie of the year. But maybe it wasn’t the most mainstream, if you define mainstream as studio-produced fare. Under that qualification Zodiac was the best mainstream movie of 2007, having been made jointly by Warner Bros. and Paramount and showing up on 70 best-of lists. Other Warner successes include Michael Clayton, which featured on 54 lists, Sweeney Todd, which received 44 mentions, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, which showed up on one list, and Letters From Iwo Jima, which showed up a little late on one list. As far as those mainstream movies I predicted would feature heavily, Knocked Up (34 lists) ended up defeating Superbad (25 lists) — meanwhile, the third Judd Apatow movie of the year, Walk Hard, managed to get on one critic’s list — though both were actually behind The Bourne Ultimatum (28 lists), when it came to “average vote” (average numerical placement on the list). If we’re going by mainstream appeal (and if Karina is correct in her view of the film), then Juno was the best mainstream comedy of the year with 63 lists. Hairspray (13 lists) beat out its crappy musical siblings Across the Universe (7 lists) and Enchanted (8 lists). In addition to showing up on Richard Corliss’ list, Beowulf managed 3 other mentions. And Transformers not only showed up on a top ten list, it featured on 3! Of course, it’s more surprising that Spider-Man 3 made it on 4 lists. The greatest thing to happen, of course, was Manohla Dargis listing The Kingdom as one of her favorites. Joining her is Don Payne. If I had made a top ten list (instead of this thing), the film could very well have beaten Transformers. Oh well, at least nobody put the shocking blockbuster Alvin and the Chipmunks on their list … yet. Originally posted on:SpoutBlog

Body: It’s so easy to criticize the Academy Awards’ ignorance of the merits of comedy (even if such criticism is unfounded), but the Golden Globes have rarely been so deserving of scrutiny in their exclusion of the funny business. After all, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association actually has a category for best comedies of the year. Sure, the genre is still considered second fiddle to drama and has to share its category with musicals (which are sometimes musical dramas), but at least we know there’s a place that honors Trading Places, A Fish Called Wanda, Ghostbusters, Back to the Future and Crocodile Dundee as one of its year’s best pictures (thank goodness for the musical-less ’80s!). The problem is, now that the musical genre is back in (near) full force, comedies are not getting as much recognition, even in their own (shared) category. Following the Globe nominees yesterday, there was a good deal of complaining going on that Knocked Up wasn’t one of the Best Motion Picture Musical or Comedy nominees. At New York magazine’s Vulture blog, they said, “what’s a Comedy award for, if not to reward the best-reviewed and most successful comedy of the year? Apparently, it’s to reward quasi-musicals like Across the Universe, quasi-comedies like Charlie Wilson’s War, or quasi-movies like Hairspray.” Dave Karger at Entertainment Weekly actually thought the “best-reviewed comedy of the year” got snubbed in the best actress and best supporting actor categories, too. And Carpetbagger David Carr points out that if the Best Motion Picture Drama category can have seven films listed, the Musical or Comedy box should get to have two more picks. But would Knocked Up have really gotten one of those two slots? (more…) Originally posted on:SpoutBlog

Body: Unless Amy Ryan prevails, Cate Blanchett is expected to scratch away the significance of Linda Hunt’s 1982 Oscar win. But wait: even if Blanchett fails to be the second person to win an Academy Award for playing a character of the opposite sex, John Travolta could also be up for that honor. On the eve of the announcement of the Golden Globe nominations, Travolta is expected to fill one of the five slots in the best supporting actor category for his performance as a big-boned mama in Hairspray. The predictions come from two awards-season blogs, Scott Feinberg’s And the Winner Is … (via The Carpetbagger), and Tom O’Neil’s Gold Derby, with the latter claiming his to be “100% accurate” and based on information received from both “industry insiders” and “sources close to members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.” Feinberg, meanwhile, points out that with a Globe nomination, Travolta will be a “major threat” contender for the supporting actor Oscar.
