Burlesque Movie is a musical starring Christina Aguilera as Ali, a small town girl with a dream who sets out to Los Angeles. She finds herself in the once popular Burlesque Lounge where she is mentored by Tess (Cher), befriended by Georgia (Julianne Hough), falls for a struggling musician Jack the bartender (Cam Gigandet) and is envied by Nikki (Kirsten Bell). Starting out as a cocktail waitress wasn't what Ali was looking for, but soon enough she earns her shot on stage. Then a visitor shows up at the Burlesque Lounge with an opportunity that could make all Ali's dreams come true.

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.

With stars like Dolly Parton, Queen Latifah, Courtney B. Vance, and Keke Palmer this film about a small town choir burdened by the town's budget cuts appears to be a hit. The choir's director (played by Kris Kristofferson) dies suddenly and Queen Latifah's character Vi Rose Hill soon takes control. This prompts G.G. Sparrow (Dolly Parton) to jump in because she thought it should be her to replace the dearly departed musical director. And as Sparrow is also a major donor with big bucks to spend, she could definitely help with financial issues brought on by the town budget cuts.he younger generation approves of G.G. Sparrow and her plans to modernize the choir's music and style and have their own agenda's which include romance and rebelliousness. At stake is the national annual competition titled "Joyful Noise" and the two leading women must overcome their differences to reach a competitive level. Dolly Parton (9 to 5, Steel Magnolias) is superb as the wealthy G.G. Sparrow, Queen Latifah (Beauty Shop, The Dilemma) is the hardheaded Vi Rose who's daughter Olivia (Keke Palmer) begins dating G.G.'s grandson, Randy (Jeremy Jordan) making yet more sparks fly in this small town. Beautiful music and wonderful acting give this just the right spirit for any season!

Giuseppe Verdi, a genial Italian composer, the author of eternal "Grand March" from Aida, was born 10 October 1813.

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.

If you are going to look for that "half", which makes "Nine" more than "Eight and a half", then you can find it in a consequence of the almost complete rejection of Marshall's confessional original. Instead og Fellini's excursion into your own mind here is melodrama of a person who does not want to change the freedom of their own fantasies on the responsibility and hassle of the real world. The unique crisis Marshall thus replaces the by the universal one. And with all the vulgarity of the resulting parade lacy stockings and fake romantic accents you have to admit: there is no need to be Fellini to resolve difficult relations with all the women of the life. It is much better to build mentally the cabaret of these women instead.
