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.

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.

With a talent filled cast and plenty of inspiring music to offer Sparkle will most assuredly be one to see as well as listen to this year! Starring Jordin Sparks in the role of Sparkle, sounds like an ideal combination. Sparks was named the winner of season 6 on American Idol in 2007 and her career has never looked so promising since. In what may be her final acting role, Whitney Houston plays Sparkle's mom, a single mother with high hopes for her daughter's singing career. The sing together along with two sisters and absolutely sound like the Supremes did back in the 1960's.n original film titled Sparkle depicted a family of three sisters who formed a girl group from Harlem in the 50's but this remake centers them in Detroit in the 60's and is a far better tribute to the Supremes than Dreamgirls ever could be. Cast includes the late Whitney Houston (Waiting To Exhale), Derek Luke (Antwone Fisher), and Mike Epps (Jumping The Broom). Sparkle's sisters are played by Carmen Ejogo, and Tika Sumpter.
