Classic Disney animation meets contemporary urban chaos when a frightened princess is banished from her magical animated homeland to modern-day New York City in a romantic comedy penned by Bill Kelly (Blast from the Past), directed by Kevin Lima (Tarzan), and featuring music by composer Alan Menken and lyricist Stephen Schwartz. Princess Giselle (Amy Adams) lives in the blissful cartoon world of Andalasia, where magical beings frolic freely and musical interludes punctuate every interaction. Though Princess Giselle is currently engaged to be married to the handsome Prince Edward (James Marsden), her fate takes a turn for the worse when the villainous Queen Narissa (Susan Sarandon) banishes her to the unforgiving metropolis of New York City. As the cruelty of the big city soon begins to wear down the fairy-tale exterior of the once carefree princess, the frightened Giselle soon finds herself falling for a friendly but flawed divorce lawyer (Patrick Dempsey) whose kind compassion has helped her to survive in this strange and dangerous new world. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

"Last night, the trailer for Disaster Movie premiered on MySpace. You can watch it after the jump. But considering it’s completely lacking in disaster spoofage, I’ve instead reserved the top spot for Disaster! (aka Disaster the Movie!), a claymation feature from a few years back that appears to have done much better with the disaster genre parody. Plus, it co-stars Motley Crue (in clay form, that is). What does this Disaster Movie have? Apparently parodies of all this summer’s blockbusters (maybe Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer should have titled this one “Summer 2008 Movie” instead?). There are jokes on Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk and Hancock (maybe Friedberg and Seltzer are upset that someone else made Superhero Movie?) as well as Sex and the City meets You Don’t Mess With the Zohan (via Juno). Oh and there are some lame Hannah Montana and Enchanted references thrown in, too. Where are the disaster movies? Who knows? Maybe the title actually refers to the fact that this mov ... " [More]

"Last week it was announced that yet another screenwriter has been hired to pen a draft of the I Dream of Jeannie movie. This time it’s Rita Hsiao, who worked on Disney’s Mulan, Toy Story 2 and Enchanted. Reportedly there’s already been at least five writers on board, but apparently producer Sid Ganis (Duece Bigalow: Male Gigalo) wants the thing to be perfect. Well, how hard could it be to come up with a plot for the thing? Just combine the storylines from the TV movies I Dream of Jeannie: 15 Years Later and I Still Dream of Jeannie, both of which opened the series up to more drama and thrills, such as the tense outer space sequence from 15 Years Later seen in the video above. Just budget for some better effects, and that sequence could make the Jeannie movie a blockbuster comparable to Armageddon. OK, I’m joking, but only a little. The Jeannie movie really should venture into the space travel angle, putting Major Nelson and Jeannie in danger (in I Still Dream, with Nelson long gon ... " [More]

"Released: November 21, 2007Director: Kevin Lima*****Every once in a while, a movie comes along which flips convention on its head. It takes what we know, contorts it into something else and gives us a fresh experience. Just at a time when Disney films had become cliche, Enchanted came along, made fun of every tradition and allowed us to believe again, if only for a couple of hours. Princess-to-be Giselle (Amy Adams) is transported to modern day New York courtesy of her evil step-mother-to-be, Narissa (Susan Sarandon). There, she meets lawyer Robert (Patrick Dempsey), a man who has all but given up on the things Giselle believes in: true love forever and ever. When Prince Edward (James Marsden) braves the mean New York streets to find his beloved, a new world awaits him. And possibly a new love.What Enchanted does so well is blend tried and true Disney ideas-lavish production numbers, animals flocking to a princess, hopelessly naive characters, an evil queen-and makes fun of t ...

"Lots of fun music. This princess is a bit like all the Disney princesses. Animals follow her, it was love at first sight and stanza with a handsome prince, and there's a wicked stepmotherwith her own chemical plant. So like the movies Shrek and Hoodwinked , it's a sing-along fairytale smoothie. " [More]

DreamWorks Exploiting Disney’s ...

"After the enormous success of Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy, there were bound to be more swashbuckling seafarers arriving in theaters. And finally the next big deal pirate project has the go from DreamWorks to set sail. This one will probably be a little less fantastical, though. According to Variety, the plan is to have David Franzoni (Gladiator) script a new film about the notorious real-life pirate Edward Teach (aka Blackbeard). The infamous character has already been portrayed in a number of biopics, including Raoul Walsh’s over-the-top 1952 effort and a more recent Hallmark-produced miniseries starring Angus Macfadyen. But none before have had the benefit of being shepherded by former Philadelphia 76ers owner Pat Croce, who actually owns a pirate museum down in Key West. Croce seems enough of a pirate expert, having also written a pirate history book titled “Pirate Soul” and an upcoming children’s book titled “My Pop-Pop Is a Pirate.” But DreamWorks will well enoug ...

"Yes, it’s about time we heard news about a sequel to Enchanted. But not because I am actually looking forward to Enchanted 2. In case you weren’t aware or have forgotten, I’ve been writing contemptuously about the original since my very first day posting on SpoutBlog. Rather, it’s about time only because I was beginning to think Disney had lost its marbles, business-wise. Clint at Moviehole has the unofficial scoop: A foxy little birdie cheeped in my ear – the good one, the other one’s clogged with wax - this morning that Disney is developing a sequel to its staggeringly-successful “Enchanted” – and the production has inched forward significantly in the past month or two, as a direct result of those smashing DVD sales. How does she knoooooooow?…. This one probably doesn’t need its source fingerprinted or lie-detected, let’s leave it at that. But really, did anyone expect the House of Mouse not to forge ahead with a follow-up to one of its biggest hits of 2007? Nah, me either – if a ... " [More]

The Near-Naked New York Film Canon

"In this week’s New York, David Edelstein lists a number of films that significantly represent the Big Apple. Because it’s a celebration of the magazine’s 40th anniversary, though, it only goes back as far as 1968 (the year of Planet of the Apes and Rosemary’s Baby). So, tragically no timely mention of The Naked City, which lost both its director and star recently. Edelstein claims to be upset about having to be exclusive, though he seems more concerned with the fact that there aren’t many recent films in the bunch (he asks if I Am Legend has cultural impact). There are a couple films from this decade cited, both of them bearing post-9/11 significance, though he glaringly avoids referencing Cloverfield. Even if he didn’t like the film — though I think he did — it would still be noteworthy. If not just for the sake of the subtext, at least for the fact that, in the last twenty years, the destruction of this city has been a huge part of its cinematic identity. New York even did a top ...

"Maybe it's because I watched this movie with my 8-year old daughter who adores Disney princesses, but I have to say that Enchanted was ... well ... enchanting (I know, I know...too easy). The story was great fun and offered entertainment for both the kids and adults. And Amy Adams has star written all over her. I highly recommend Enchanted (not just for kids, either). I have a feeling that when the DVD is released, it will be on the frequent play shelf in our house. " [More]

Enchanted by a wonderful movie :)

"Enchanted was the state I left the cinema yesterday after seeing the movie of the same name ;).This is one of the kitschiest movies I've seen in a while, but the story is told in such an honest and innocent way, that I didn't mind. In addition it doesn't take itself or the Disney canon too seriously and is riddled with hilarious scenes.Amy Adams deserves a special mention for her perfect portrayal of the innocent girl from a fairy tale which has to come to grips with the harsh reality we all live in.If you can bear the kitsch, you shouldn't miss this feel-good movie! :) " [More]
