Here Comes Annie Again

Movie musical fans, cheer up! I know the past few months have been bleak as far as our favorite genre is concerned, but Annie is on the way. This modernized version of the popular Broadway play dances into theaters nationwide on December 19. 

I love the songs, especially "It's a Hard Knock Life," which was one of my favorite routines to perform with the Mesa College Musical Comedy group during days of yore.

This new motion picture stars Jamie Foxx as a kind of Daddy Warbucks type character, Quevenzhane Wallis as the optimistic Annie, and Cameron Diaz as the mean Miss Hannigan (the role Carol Burnett played so hilariously in the previous Annie film). 

I, for one, can hardly wait to see this version. It should be a wonderful movie for the entire family.
