MOVIES ART MUSIC WINERIES COVER STORY BOOKS FESTIVALS

BY ADAM TESTATHE SOUTHERN

Many college seniorsstruggle with theuncertainty of not

knowing what their futurewill hold once they walkacross the stage atgraduation.

Whitney Winfield wasable to take a sigh of relief,as she knew that just a fewmonths after collectingher diploma, she’d be aprincess.

Winfield, then in herfinal year at PaceUniversity in Manhattan,was recruited by one ofher professors to auditionfor a national touringproduction of “Shrek: TheMusical,” which he wascasting. She decided tothrow her hat into thering, auditioned andlanded the role of PrincessFiona in the adaptation ofthe DreamWorksanimated film.

“To have somethinglined up was great,” saidWinfield, who spent hersummer preparing beforeheading on the road inOctober.

For the past severalmonths, she and hercolleagues have spenttheir lives on a tour bus,traveling as far as Alaska,and bringing the show tolife on stage for audiencesof all ages.

Stepping into the role ofFiona, the charactervoiced by Cameron Diazin the film series, wasn’ttoo daunting of achallenge for the Naples,Fla., native. She had seen“Shrek” when it had firstcome out, but she didn’tfeel pressured or nervousabout being able to live up to the charactercreated in the movie. Italso helps that Fiona is

much like her.“She’s a kick-ass sort of

girl; she’s not like theother fairy taleprincesses,” she said,noting Fiona’s quirky andwild mannerisms. “This isthe kind of role that youcan step into and make ityour own.”

Winfield has portrayedother fairy tale princesses,including Belle from“Beauty and the Beast” inNaples, but Fiona setsherself apart by breakingall the traditional normsof the characterarchetypes.

While the musicalfollows the plot of the first“Shrek” movie, the funpart is that it allows for allthe characters, especially

the secondary fairy talecreatures, to develop andshowcase morepersonality. The showeven features a full-sizeflying dragon.

The colorful productionmakes its way to TheCarson Center forperformances at 7 p.m.Tuesday and Wednesday,Jan. 29-30. Tickets are $32to $58 and can bepurchased online atwww.thecarsoncenter.orgor by calling 270-450-4444.

Beneath the colorfulcostumes, fun songs andfairy tale atmosphere,there’s a moral lesson inthe show, Winfield said.“Shrek” encouragespeople to be themselves

and to be happy with whothey are. It’s a lesson theyoung actress fullybelieves in.

“There’s a lot of sillinessand a lot of fun, but at theend of the day, it’s still areally strong message,”she said.

For Winfield, this tourof “Shrek,” which wrapsup in April, is only thebeginning. She hopes thiswill be a springboard for asuccessful career. Shehopes to branch out intotelevision and movies andmay even dabble in non-musical theater.

“The sky’s the limitafter this,” she said.

No ordinary fairy tale ‘Shrek’ takesthe stage at

Carson Center

PROVIDED‘Shrek: The Musical’ follows the story of the original DreamWorks movie. The stage adaptationdelves deeper into the characters, like Whitney Winfield’s portrayal of Princess Fiona. TheNaples, Fla., native and her colleagues arrive in Paducah for two productions at The CarsonCenter on Jan. 29 and 30.

Air travel is expensive,and Kendell Marveldidn’t want to miss his

flight. He had importantbusiness in Nashville thenext day.

The popular songwriterhad just fulfilled hiscontractual obligation byperforming at a cooperatefunction in Naples, Fla. Hewas trying to enjoy anadult beverage in a hotellounge, while a persistentpatron tried to convincehim to stick around for afew hours and write ajingle for his company.

Not knowing theidentity of the smooth-talking businessman,Marvel discreetly ask awaitress about thestranger. She immediatelysaid it was prestigiouscustomer Kent Taylor,founder and CEO of theTexas Roadhouserestaurant chain.

“We went back to hisroom and wrote what is

now the new TexasRoadhouse theme song,”Marvel said. “They juststarted playing it eighttimes a day in over 300restaurants. The first timewe met, I didn’t know if hehad any money. I foundout pretty quickly he haddeep pockets. He didn’tjust buy tickets for a laterflight, he chartered a Learjet to fly me and a couplesongwriting buddies backhome.”

Marvel said Taylor wasin Naples for a meetingwith 1,400 executivesfrom his company. Hehosted the week-longevent at the luxurious RitzCarlton and picked up theentire tab.

Taylor is having anotherouting in May in Maui,Hawaii, and has invitedMarvel to be his guest. Theevent will include aconcert featuring Marvel,Trace Adkins, WillieNelson and Glenn Frey ofthe Eagles.

A fixture among the elitetunesmiths in Music Cityfor more than a decade,Marvel has written songswhich will be included onnew albums by BrantleyGilbert, Josh Thompson

and Justin Moore.The 42-year-old Marvel

was a popular traditionalcountry singer in SouthernIllinois when he migratedto Nashville in 1998. Itdidn’t take long for him tomake an impact. He inkedthe 2000 smash “RightWhere I Need to Be” forGary Allan and, at thetime, it was the biggest hitof the singer’s career.

Marvel penned the 2004Joe Diffie tune “Tougherthan Nails” and wasresponsible for the veryfirst Jake Owen release“Yee Haw.” He wouldeventually earn a BMISongwriter of the YearAward for writing “Startin’with Me,” a tune thatpushed Owen’s career to anew level. He also wrote“Twang” for countrylegend George Strait.

Besides the gratis trip toHawaii and occasionalsongwriting junkets to KeyWest, Marvel’s reputationas a hit-making machinehas earned him theprivilege of performingtwice a month at theBluebird Café in Nashville,a virtual Mecca foraspiring countrysongwriters.

Marvel will make a miniswing through centralIllinois from Feb. 15-17when he performs inDecatur, Springfield andDanville as part of a three-person songwriter’scaravan with George Teren(“Ladies Love CountryBoys”) and future CountryMusic Songwriters Hall ofFame member CaseyBeathard, who has writtenfive No. 1 singles and aslew of Top 10 hits.

Marvel is naturallyexcited that so manyartists are recording hismaterial.

“They wouldn’t recordthem if they weren’t realgood, but there are a lot ofthings that go intodetermining if a song isgoing to be a single. I justhope for the best and keepwriting everyday,” Marvelsaid. “Trace Adkins hasrecorded nine of my songs,and I was joking with himthe other day and told himit was about time heturned one of them into ahit.”

Marvel making the hits for country music stars Hansel & Gretel growup in ‘Witch Hunters’Hansel and Gretel: WitchHunters *1/2

Rated R for strong fantasyhorror violence and gore,brief sexuality/nudity andlanguage; starring GemmaArterton and JeremyRenner; directed byTommy Wirkola; openingFriday at ShowPlace 8 inCarbondale

BY ROGER MOOREMCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS

An R-rated horroraction comedy fairy tale— how’s that for genrebending? “Hansel &Gretel: Witch Hunters” ismore Gatling guns andgrenades than TheBrothers Grimm. It takesthe kidnapped kiddiesinto adulthood, wherethey’ve parlayed theirfame at cooking a witch’sgoose into a business.

The movie doesn’treally work. They wereshooting for sort ofwitch-hunting“Zombieland” or an f-bomb-riddled

“Van Helsing.”Hansel (Jeremy Renner)

and Gretel (GemmaArterton) show up just asthe village of Augsburg isabout to burn a redhead.“Gingers” were a favoritetarget of witch hunters.Hansel shrugs thisbarbaric crime off, butGretel insists that thelocals need “evidence.”That puts them in conflictwith the sheriff (PeterStormare), who can’t get ahandle on their “witchplague” and the missingchildren who come withit. H & G have been hiredto do what he cannot.

Hansel and Gretel havea groupie (ThomasMann), and the womanPihla Viitala) they savedfrom burning in theopening scene wants torepay the favor to Hansel,a repayment that involvesskinny dipping.

Writer-director TommyWirkola focuses on thefights and flings allmanner of viscera at the3-D camera as limbs arewhacked off and headsand torsos explode.

Parker ***Rated R for strongviolence, languagethroughout, brief sexualcontent and nudity;starring Jason Statham,Jennifer Lopez, MichaelChiklis, Wendell Pierce,Bobby Cannavale andPatti Lupone; directed byTaylor Hackford; openingFriday at ShowPlace 8 inCarbondale

BY CONNIE OGLEMCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS

“Parker” roars into adull January and enlivensthe movie landscape, andthank the action-moviegods because we needed alittle something to wake

us from our winterslumber.

Based on a novel in aseries by Richard Stark,the alter ego of the late,great Donald E. Westlake,the film is basically aheist-and-paybackmovie. But it’s made withsuch skill and smarts thatit stands above such eye-rolling blow-’em-up fareas ArnoldSchwarzenegger’s “TheLast Stand,” its maincompetition at the boxoffice.

As played by the ever-stoic Jason Statham (the“Transporter” and“Expendables” films),Parker is more antiherothan hero: He operates onthe wrong side of the law,but he’s got a complicated

code of ethics.He will steal — and steal

quite unremorsefully —but only from people whocan afford it, he says. Ifyou stumble into one ofthe many crimes hecommits, he won’t hurtyou as long as you doexactly what he tells youto do. He doesn’t golooking to hurt innocents.But all bets are off if youdon’t follow directions,and woe unto anyone whodares to cheat him.

A double-cross isprecisely what happens inthe opening scenes of“Parker”: A crew carriesout a daring robbery atthe Ohio State Fair. Theheist does not runsmoothly — not all thethieves in this bunch areas detail-oriented asParker — and after theirescape, the second incommand, the menacingMelander (MichaelChiklis of “The Shield”and “Vegas”), demands

that Parker turn over hisshare of the profits tohelp finance the next job.“It’s the score of alifetime,” he tells Parker.

Like any sensibleindividual who hearsthose words, Parker isskeptical.

So he refuses and getsshot, robbed and dumpedat the side of the road forhis trouble.

The rest of the moviefollows what happenswhen Parker recovers anddecides to get his moneyback from — and revengeon — the guys who lefthim for dead. Thisrequires him to figure outprecisely what the nextjob is and where it’shappening. The road topayback leads him toPalm Beach County, Fla.,where the movie waspartially filmed, and intothe orbit of Leslie(Jennifer Lopez), a realestate agent dying for herfirst commission.

Directed by TaylorHackford (“Ray,”“Proof of Life”), Parker isnot without itsabsurdities. Melander isresourceful, but could heand his gang reallycommandeer a West Palm Beach fire truck?Patti Lupone goes a bitover the top as Lopez’ssuper-ethnic mama,and Lopez gets stuck with a couple ofunfortunate ditzymoments, courtesy of thescript by John J.McLaughlin (“Hitchcock,”

“Black Swan”).But Statham, not always

the most charismatic ofactors, turns out to be agood choice to play thetaciturn thief. He lookslike the sort of guy whostands a good chance ofgetting out of any tightcorner, even if hisassailant is armed andhe’s not. Even the peoplewho griped about TomCruise being cast as thetowering Jack Reacherwill have to admitStatham fits nicely inParker’s shoes.
