Katy Perry is in Paris this week without her musical entourage. Katy has been kidnapped by Gargamel. Gargamel has created the Naughties. Smurfette (voice by Katy Perry) can stop the Naughties from being evil and change them to good Smurfs. It is something about spells and stuff that dot this week’s Smurf 2 movie landscape.

Don’t blame us for this write-up. We asked a five-year-old Smurf lover, who wouldn’t share her popcorn with us, to explain the movie. We apologized to her because we didn’t see Smurfs 1…still no popcorn…plus she refused to use a booster seat and stood for most of the movie.

The power of Katy Perry’s and Pink’s music is world-wide. The power of the Smurf is universal…No! Interplanetary. A five-year old’s play-by-play description of Smurfdom is interplanetary and almost follow-able, too.

Every five year old has a Smurf doll, t-shirt, or Smurf dress. Katy Perry looks outstanding modeling her Smurf dress at all the worldwide previews. Looking like Perry is the dream of every ankle biter in the community. Buy your Smurfette the t-shirt and make her day….his day with Smurf 2, too.

Morris Chestnut: Black Is The New Pink

The Best Man Holiday looks like one of the best new movies in the fall line-up. If you can’t get Denzel Washington, Halle Berry, or Morgan Freeman to star in your “family and friend foibles” laugh and cry fest then recruit Morris Chestnut, Terrence Howard, Sanaa Lathan, Nia Long, Taye Diggs, and Harold Perrineau to tell your story of an old group of friend’s reunion that goes right and horribly wrong….in a humorous sense!

The movie looks like a typical Italian wedding with three fights, two break-ups, rekindled love and romance, and grandma blaming Uncle Vinny for everything. The only tradition missing in this reunion flick is that at an Italian wedding the whiskey sour fountain has to be drained by the end of the night or it is bad luck for the bride and groom. Some wine did help loosen up lips and minds for some straight and blurred talk.

We have enjoyed each of the male and female actors in this movie in a number of memorable comedies and dramas in which they have previously starred. Together they will please you five times more.

 

Gemma Arterton, Redgrave, and Stamp: Gray Is The New Pink

Gemma Arterton is the 27 year-old choir director in the English movie Unfinished Song: A Song For Marion. She is paid to teach music to unappreciative youth groups during the day. Her early evenings are taken up with a free gig directing a choir of twenty or more 60+ year-olds. She calls this evening choir group the OAP’s, The Old Age Pensioners.

Vanessa Redgrave is dying of cancer. She is a much-loved member of her small English community. Her four loves are her curmudgeonly husband (Terence Stamp), her son, her granddaughter, and music. She lives for her choir evenings with Gemma and friends. Her husband thinks it is a drain of energy on her ever-shortening life. Stamp levels proud words at the choir in anger. Repairing this disconnect with help from his wife will take some doing.

You don’t know if “music is going to change the savage soul” of Terence Stamp, but Arterton has changed the way everyone in the choir and community has embraced life. She stresses that being laughed at is great as you try new things. Her music for old timers embraced hip-hop, sex, and new views. It was a treat to watch this mental, emotional, and physical reformation of everyone. A handkerchief is needed as you enjoy this change in tears and laughter, though.

At the end of the movie Arterton says that songs shouldn’t be judged by the great voices that have sung them. They should be judged by the journey the music has taken. She is talking about the journeys everyone in this movie has taken___A underappreciated son reconnecting with his father, a husband understanding his wife after fifty years, a young child understanding the relationship between her dad and his dad, a curmudgeon embracing music, and a choir of old folk hip-hopping to a beat of a different drummer. Please go out of your way to find where this gem of a movie is playing.

Rediscover Gemma Arterton for the first time in Quantum of Solace, Prince of Persia, Hansel and Gretel, and Clash of the Titans. You will like the variety of her work and how her hair color changes her personality.
