The NYC Lady

Some people look good when they are in their teens, and some look gorgeous after moving on the other side of thirty. Well, she is forty plus now, and getting better each day. Sarah Jessica Parker is one lady who is not exactly the kind of copybook beauty, with a face often compared to that of a horse, a figure short and petite, and a voice not really very melodious. Yet she is gorgeous and radiant.

I got hooked from her S&TC performance. She was brilliant in it, and performed really well. But then she does these roles good always, very urban, snob, and very New York. She repeats it with more emphasis on stiff upper lip, in her new movie "Family Stone". It was not really a good movie, but with actors like Diane Keaton, Rachel McAdams, Dermot Mulroney and Luke Wilson, the visuals are guaranteed to be good. And then came "Failure to Launch", Zooey Deschanel did so good in it I started liking her a lot. Kathy Bates was good as well, and so was Matthew McConaughey, but this new girl stole the show with her annoying presence and immense capability to get irritated from chirping of birds. Well I deviated from where I started, Ms.Parker was good in it. Again, it was a tailor-made role for her. Frankly, I would not like to see her in a radically different role, it is not necessary that everyone should play all types of characters. People try, especially those actors who are famous for their performances, but I can't imagine Jack Nicolson in a role of a fatherly person with affection dripping from his chin for the mankind. I would love to see him in the role of a cynical old man, even better if he is irritated and disgusted by the lack of order in the world around him.

In her next movie "Spinning Into Butter", she would be playing a Dean, and would do some introspection about her feelings in the line of racism and hatred. That's not completely out of line, considering the snobbery she radiates in her roles. "Slammer" would be a musical comedy, not really eager for such a movie. "Vacancy" is a thriller on Snuff Films, where Luke Wilson accompanies her in the roles of a couple stranded in a hotel. I would not like to switch places with him, I can guess how hyper she would behave in such circumstances. God save Luke!
