February 21,2001 GET A LIFE WESTERN CAROLINIAN 13 Movie Review Lopez Wiggles and Weds in "Planner" By Jenni Bartels Features Editor Strategically released just in time for Valentine's Day, "The Wedding Planner," featuring Matthew McConaughey and Jennifer Lopez, is a cute little movie about fate, love, and (guess what else?) marriage. Lopez stars as Maria (often called Mary) Fiore, an incredibly successful wedding planner who has remained tragically single. "You know those that can't do, teach? Those that can wed, plan." BUT WAIT! Along comes a sexy young doctor named Steve (McConaughey) who valiantly saves... her shoe. It's very sweet. It's too sweet to be true, of course, as she is planning his wedding. The bride is a very likeable Bridgette Wilson Sampras as Fran, Steve (a.k.a. Eddie)'s college sweetheart. The usual date movie love triangle ensues, but with one added bonus; Mary's got an arranged fiance, courtesy of her well-intentioned but clueless father. This movie was impressive, as far You saved... my shoe. photo courtesy of Columbia Pictures " The heroics of a modern day romantic. as chick flicks go, and in comparison to something like "My Best Friend's Wedding," "The Wedding Planner" is hands down more enjoyable. Mary is a kind, hard working, slightly anal-retentive young woman, and her quirkiness is what appeals to the audience. Having no one to take care of, she obsesses about everything else. Lopez fills this order to a tee with a lot of energy and sincerity. Steve (Fran calls him Eddie) is the perfect picture of a man torn between "The One" and "The Convenient One." He's been with Fran forever, and it's a nice, stable, comfortable (if not a little boring) relationship, so the next natural step is marriage. Then there's Mary. She's new and different and more of what he's looking for, BUT that would mean making a very difficult decision. Honestly, this was a very sweet movie and a good date movie. It's mushy in some parts, as it must be, but it's funny enough to hold the attention of the male audience (if Lopez's butt doesn't quite do it for them). Lopez and McConaughey have a great chemistry on camera, and Kathy Najimy and Kevin Pollak were excellent, though not seen much, in their supporting roles. However, it holds to all of the romance movie stereotypes and cliches, so it's incredibly predictable. Paying $7.50 in the theaters to see pretty much the same thing you can rent for $ 1.50 seems a little ridiculous. What this is, is a classic case of Hollywood cranking out the usual boy- meets-girl, boy-loses-girl, boy-gets-girl gimmicky junk around Valentine's Day because they know boyfriends across America will be coerced into going. Overall, this movie was sweet and there were some impressive performances, but it was the same bland story line there is in every romance movie. It's hard to make a really good chick flick, but there are a few people who have done it. It is advised that you save your money, don't go to "The Wedding Planner," and rent "Dream For An Insomniac" instead. The popcorn probably tastes better at your house anyway. Music Review Just a Girl with a Guitar: Jonatha Brooke's Steady Pull By Hannah Crane Staff Writer With her guitar in hand, singer/ songwriter Jonatha Brooke tells the world about life through her eyes in her latest release Steady Pull. However, she doesn't just play acoustic guitar. By mixing instruments like a Polynesian ukulele, a piano, an acoustic guitar, and her rich lilting voice, Brooke presents an album with lots of versatility and appeal. The first track, "Linger" sets the pace for the album. The electric guitars invade your speakers with a fresh intro. Brooke keeps up the pace with her vocals; the lyrics are really descriptive too: "I am walking past sprinklers, and the newly painted porches, and the lemonade stand girls on a suburban afternoon. I am leaving cuz I love you, I am leaving cuz I don't, and I'm hoping you will follow, and I'm praying that you won't." In other words, what we have here is a girl who is torn. She is in a relationship that has its great moments, and then there are times when it's not so hot. Brooke deals with this oh-so- typical predicament nicely because of her honest everyday lyrics. "Walking" deals with that old idea that if you spend time in someone else's shoes for awhile you will begin to understand why they are who they are. The drum beat creates the steady feeling of walking right from the beginning; it persists throughout giving the song a base to return to. Brooke also displays her vocal range in this song. She takes on a more desperate persona as she tries to understand the owner of the shoes who has caused her so much grief. She admits to losing faith and grace as she tries to break free from the misery of knowing this person. Lyrically, this song is not brilliant really. The feelings are genuinely expressed, but there a lot of obvious rhymes and cliches. The song "Your House" is special not because of what it says but because of how it is said. The instrumentation is based around the steady chords of the acoustic guitar. Jonatha's voice is light but mournful. Overall, the piece has a haunting feeling. Apparently, the song is about opening up to someone and sharing your deepest thoughts with a house, which is a metaphor for a psychological comfort zone. The minor key and soft delivery give the song a calming feeling. It is a departure from the more upbeat pieces. "New Dress" makes the best use of metaphors as she describes the gift of a new dress from her lover being like a new life. When she is with him, she can peel away the facade that she wears for others. He gives her a fresh outlook on things and makes her feel like she can be more than she is. Jonatha .is high hopes of breaking into the mainstream with Steady Pull. She certainly serves up the variety lyrically and instrumentally. However, whether her sound is fresh and different enough for her to maintain fame is another question.
