'Enchanted' deserves a look
“Enchanted,” opening Nov. 21

I’m not usually one for princess movies. Or live-action films with talking animals.

“Enchanted” is both.

But this particular flick stars Amy Adams, who lit a hole in my heart in 2005’s “Junebug.”

And, more important, the Disney film seems to have a healthy dose of smart, self-aware humor and a joyful absence of cloying love songs.

“Enchanted,” you see, is what happens when a beautiful princess (Adams) and her prince (James Marsden) leave their cartoon world and crash land — it’s complicated; don’t ask — in live-action New York City, thanks to an evil, jealous queen (Susan Sarandon).

Yeah, ouch. The Big Apple so does not care about your “happily ever after” story, sucka.

But, a handsome divorce lawyer (Patrick Dempsey) cares, and that, my fairy tale loving friends, really throws our lovely off her game.

Throw in some chatty, house-cleaning squirrels (oh, how I wish), classic New York hospitality, and Dempsey’s request that his new princess pal not break into song in the middle of Central Park, and this looks like a totally bewitching story for the ages.

Rating: 3 dancing popcorn guys (out of 4)

Another good article

Look for 'Enchanted,' 'American Gangster' to crowd Oscar song race
Just two years ago, the Oscar race for best original song was slim pickins.'

Remember? The Academy was unable to find five songs to nominate. Three 6 Mafia performed and won for "It's Hard Out There for a Pimp" from "Hustle & Flow," besting songs from "Crash" (Kathleen "Bird" York's "In the Deep") and Dolly Parton ("Travelin' Thru" from "Transamerica").

This year, the Academy will have the opposite problem. First of all, the music from "Once" sailed into fall as a front-runner (and there's no good reason why it shouldn't win), but strong selections are taking shape.

First, consider Eddie Vedder's efforts in "Into the Wild." As the first solo effort from the Pearl Jam frontman, the soundtrack isn’t lacking in public awareness, and has been largely well-received. To help matters, Paramount Vantage is hosting a private weekend performance of Vedder in Los Angeles, which should further fuel the soundtrack’s buzz.

And plenty of critics (though not this one) and readers (judging from the results of an informal and unscientific poll conducted on this blog) are fawning over Sondre Lerche's work in "Dan in Real Life." We shall see how much pull his fans have Oscar voters as the days go by.

Earlier in the year, Bob Dylan's "Huck's Town" was a worthy iTunes download from an already-forgotten film ("Lucky You"), and then, of course, Marc Shaiman's two (possibly three) new original songs in "Hairspray."

It certainly feels like Oscar race for best song is picking up a head of steam. And there's still plenty of music from A-list artists and hotly-anticipated films to come. Here's a quick look at five films with noteworthy songs. Some have the pedigree and/or buzz to win, and others just shouldn't go unnoticed (looking at you, No. 2).

Also, note that Oscar-favorite Shakira is not included below, as she was written about in an earlier post -- it's not a slight, just a chance to write about some other acts.

1. "Grace is Gone." Nine-time Grammy winner Sheryl Crow has an as-yet-unreleased song, "Lullaby for Wyatt," in the upcoming Weinstein Company film. It hasn't leaked yet, but there's a tear-jerker of a trailer to watch on the official Weinstein Web site. The well-reviewed movie is due in limited release Dec. 7. Coupled with early hype for Crow's upcoming February album, a solid opening could push the heartland singer/songwriter into the race.

2. "Nanking." The Sundance award winner, which looks at the Japanese invasion of Nanking, China, during World War II, will open in limited release Dec. 12 before airing later on HBO. The film has an original song from Lou Reed, "Gravity," a slow-burner driven by a guttural guitar riff. Even in the poor-sounding clips circulating the Web, it's a haunting rocker, with Reed's cries of "war" echoing throughout it.

3. "Beowulf." Broadway actor/singer Idina Menzel has an acting role in Disney's "Enchanted," and a credit's song in fantasy "Beowulf" entitled "A Hero Comes Home." The latter was written by superstar producer Glenn Ballard (Celine Dion, Alanis Morissette) with composer Alan Silverstri. Variety's Red Carpet District reminds readers that the pair received a nomination in 2004 for their work on "The Polar Express."

4. "Enchanted." Talk to anyone about the best original song category, and "Enchanted" turns up. The children's fantasy has a host of original songs from Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz. The pair worked together on "Pocahantas" and "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," and if the film becomes a holiday hit, and it likely will, it should easily score a nomination. Since voting on the songs must occur immediately after screening a clip of the film (see rules), the vivid scenes and talent of actress Amy Adams (pictured, with Patrick Dempsey) could make "Enchanted" a favorite, although it's hard to believe anything could come out in front of "Once," a movie that simply could not exist without its songs.

5. "American Gangster." Looking to be a blockbuster this autumn, the film should be well represented come Oscar time too, perhaps even in the song category. It won't be from Jay-Z, whose album of the same name is not featured in the movie, but the work of soul singer Anthony Hamilton is. The singer has a cameo in the film, and his "Do You Feel Me" goes down easy, with its gospel keys and a relaxed groove.

Wouldn't it be awesome if it would get an oscar nomination!

Light:—Enchanted (Nov. 21), starring Amy Adams (Junebug) as a naive Disney-style cartoon princess who must adapt to the hard knocks of an all-too-real Manhattan, is more of a magical romantic comedy spoof than a song-filled extravaganza.

But at least a couple of the five hum-along numbers by the Oscar-winning team of Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz stop the show and incite enthusiastic applause.

"The movie plays on so many levels," says director Kevin Lima, who has his feet in both the worlds of animation (Tarzan) and live action (102 Dalmatians) — just like his heroine Giselle. "No matter what you come to it with, it embraces your point of view." There is song, dance, slapstick, cynicism, fairy-tale in-jokes, princess pointers for girls, dragon slaying for boys and a highly appealing cast.

Fans of Grey's Anatomy might especially appreciate seeing Dr. McDreamy himself, Patrick Dempsey, out of his hospital garb and in a fetching bathrobe as he and Adams realize they share a love connection.

The PG-rated confection finds room for a rare clever poop joke with a scene-stealing chipmunk as well as a few knowing winks at gay humor. But the secret weapon has to be Adams. "She walked into the audition fully formed," Lima says. "She lived and breathed Giselle."

That's awesome

Someone saw the film and posted a review

Enchanted: In Review

I don't think I can name the last great movie that Disney has made without the help of the most brilliant animation studio today: Pixar. Well, Disney can now boast "Enchanted" as their last great movie. While the film definitely has some groan inducing moments (but just one or two...it is a modern children's movie so how could it not?), this is still a very pleasing film. Amy Adams, as buzzed about, is absolutely fantastic. She gives the best lead actress role I've seen this year. It is also one of the funniest performances I've seen this decade. If you've seen the trailer then you can probably get a pretty good idea of what her performance will be like during the beginning half. During the second half, Soon-to-be-Princess Giselle receives some major character development that could either make the Academy more favorable of her performance or less. Adams' performance is not one dimensional like many would think. Like I just said, there is some major character development. I hate to repeat myself but I must. Adams is a delight. She is the film's major highlight, obviously, and not only does she merit a nomination but she could be a potential contender for Best Actress considering how weak the category is bound to be this year. The screenplay, I thought, was pretty great. While some may think it is "ripping off classic fairy tale story lines", the film is actually "ripping ON classic fairy tale story lines" (The song "That's How You Know" is directed and choreographed to utter perfection to spoof on Disney musicals. It's one of the funniest scenes I've scene this year). The whole poison apple, true love's kiss, spell breaks at stroke of 12, villain turns into dragon, etc. etc. etc. is in the film and I thought it worked brilliantly. The songs were hilarious and the dance numbers were gut-bustingly funny. While parts were predictable, it is the predictabilities in the script that make it so strong. After all, aren't the films that this film is farcing predictable? So why shouldn't this one be?

As I said before, though, the film does have some flaws. Those flaws are areas in the script. While I said that the script is good, these flawed parts are obviously aimed towards children and kids will love the film even more thanks to these parts but will make adults and teenagers a little annoyed. Still, this film is one that will make you leave the theatre much happier than when you came in. Other Oscar possibilities that the film has, besides the obvious Best Actress, are in Costume Design, Makeup, Original Song, and (not much of a chance at all but still a possibility because of the way it spoofs other Disney films) Original Screenplay.

I must say, this is probably one of the most unlikely contenders for an Oscar in God knows how long. That being said, the film is a true delight and Amy Adams pleases big time. If her unexpected buzz continues to grow for this film, she will most likely receive a nomination and possibly win the Golden Globe. B+

I don't know why but I can't access the enchanted movie myspace. I think it's MySpace.com but when I type that it goes right to the main page of Myspace. I haven't even heard the soundtrack yet.

**Eternal Flame** · 11-02-2007, 12:35 PM

Yeah me neither Livvy

There's an update on the Enchanted website. The sections 'partners' (cute pic of Patrick/Amy holding hands there!) and 'Games' have been updated!

Also an update of the Gallery!

New pic of Patrick (nr. 3, nr. 9, nr. 10, nr. 12, nr. 14) We've seen most pics!
Also the videos (with the Legacy vid in Behind The Scenes) and downloads section has been updated!

on IMDB I've read that on the Disney channel there was a 3 minute segment of the movie behind the scenes.
This is what they showed (according to poster on IMDB)

Quote:

Just saw it! Hannah Montana made it run a lot later (try almost 30 min.) but its on for 3 min. segments, Amy Adams hosted and it showed a scene in the movie where Pip the Squirrel/chipmunk is trying to tell the Prince what happened to Giselle (Witch gave her an apple)...it was hilarious! Also had a short scene when Giselle enters Robert's apartment and flips over after entering a door. Amy also sized Giselle up to the other Disney princesses and told what trait each played with her role.

Well I'm not a myspace member but that has never been a problem before. I remember visiting the 'Freedom Writers' myspace a few months ago.

Freedom Writers = love. I love that movie so much!
