Footloose

Description

Maybe the biggest roadblock to remaking such a venerable musical classic is found in the music. Updating those rock and roll classics with more modern day tunes will be risky. And those memorable characters are a challenge. Ren McCormack is now played by a young dancer named Kenny Wormald (from MTV's Dancelife and Center Stage: Turn it up). And the beautiful Ariel Moore is now played by gorgeous Julianne Hough of Dancing With the Stars professional performer credit. Her father, the Reverend Shaw Moore is now portrayed by Dennis Quaid (Great Balls of Fire, Enemy Mine) and his wife, Vi is played by the beautiful Andie McDowell (Sex, Lies, and Video Tape, Four Weddings and a Funeral). his is an updated version that holds true to the original in almost every aspect, even the music. Songs like "Let's Hear it for the Boy" have somewhat of a southern texture now that the film is set in Beaumont, Tennessee instead of Beaumont, Utah. The Chattahoochee River's bridge is the scene for that memorable game of "chicken" between Ariel's two love interests now that Ren has moved to town. Look for plenty of action and some great music.

Giuseppe Verdi, a genial Italian composer, the author of eternal "Grand March" from Aida, was born 10 October 1813. Since that time all the progressive society of musicians and opera lovers are celebrating Verdi's birthday each year. Quartet, a movie filmed in 2012 by Dustin Hoffman, follows the most recognized event of annual Verdi's birthday – a concert in Beecham House, a fictional retirement house for gifted musicians and concertmasters. Every year everything is going smoothly on this solemnity, but not this time. A wife of one of the quartet members, Jean joins the party to make a fuss around the celebration and summons the old spirits of rivalry between her husband Reg and rest of the quartet contributors Cissy, Wilf and Cedric. The ensembly cast of Quartet time and again consists of well matured actors and actress: Billy Connolly (The Hobbit, The X Files: I Want to Believe, The Last Samurai) is playing Wilf while Maggie Smith (The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel , Harry Potter franchise, Becoming Jane) is playing Jean, a Reg's wife. Reginald is portrayed by Tom Courtenay (The Golden Compass, Last Orders, Let Him Have It) while Michael Gambon (Brideshead Revisited, The King's Speech, The Book of Eli) is playing Cedric. The next Quartet member Cissy is portrayed by Pauline Collins, which may be familiar to you by her roles in Albert Nobbs as Margaret 'Madge' Baker and in Paradise Road as Daisy 'Margaret' Drummond.
