MOVIE REVIEW - HSM3


RATING:





For me, high school musical 1 is better than the latest installment of the movie the HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3. The movie is great, but the story itself was kinda disturbing because of all the songs. I kinda hate the first part of the film, or the first 40 minutes of the film, I didn't understand the story because of all the singing scene, the movie featured less talk, more singing. The first movie is better than this film, maybe because they focused more on the story and the songs are few maybe 7 songs, but in this film, they focused more on the music, songs rather than to focus to the story.
But, heres the positive comment, I kinda like the @nd part of the film, the "PROM SCENE", the whole "GOING TO COLLEGE DILLEMA SCENE", the GRADUATION SCENE and the whole GOODBYE SCENE, i was able to relate to the 2nd part of the story.
Overall, the movie is entertaining, the story is quite good, the ending is nice, they gave justice to the story (i guess),the songs are beautiful, the choreography is genius.

Michael Caine Confirms Johnny Depp as Riddler



According to: http://www.waukster.com/michael-caine-confirms-johnny-depp-as-riddler/

There have been a lot of rumors going around the internet lately about Johnny Depp and his involvement with the next Batman movie. The Dark Knight did so well at the box office that it would be stupid not to make another sequel - and the producers really owe a lot to the late Heath Ledger who put up a spectacular and legendary performance as Joker (I’m sorry Iron Man, I really prefer TDK). Anyway, the major question after TDK (The Dark Knight) was what’s next? Who can fill in the shoes for the Joker? Well apparently the Johnny Depp rumors are serious. Michael Caine, who played Alfred in TDK, recently said in an interview that the producers are really considering putting Johnny Depp in as the Riddler. Here’s Caine’s quote taken from Slash Film:

“I was with [a Warner Bros.] executive and I said, ‘Are we going to make [a sequel to The Dark Knight]?’ They said yeah. I said, ‘How the hell are we going to top Heath? And he says ‘I’ll tell you how you top Heath — Johnny Depp as The Riddler and Philip Seymour Hoffman as The Penguin.’ I said, ‘Shit, they’ve done it again!’” [Laughs]

Awww man! If this is true then the next Batman actually has a chance of beating the records set by the Dark Knight! What do you guys think about this? Johnny Depp as the Riddler and Philip Seymour Hoffman as Penguin?

Personally I’m really psyched up at the possibility of seeing Depp as the Riddler. He’s one of my favorite actors in Hollywood due to his stunning performances for Pirates and the Demon Barber thing. His acting is really classy and very cerebral - something that fits the Riddler very well. I just hope Johnny Depp doesn’t die in the filming process like Heath.

As for Philip Seymour Hoffman, I’m not all too excited with this development but then again I never thought that I would appreciate Two Face in TDK. Hoffman is one of the top actors in Hollywood so it will be interesting to see how he can take the character of Penguin to a whole new level - farther than what Danny De Vito did in the second Batman movie.

Disaster Movie.... review


The movie wasn't really that horrible, funny in some parts but majority of the scenes were kinda immature. It was weird, but at least the "Disaster movie" did better than the other films they made like Epic Movie, Meet the Spartans, Superhero Movie. They spoofed a lot in this film including Batman, Sex and the City, Jumper etc. It made me laugh a couple of times but I think it was too much, it was kinda lame. The movie was good but the story is dumb.

At first, I thought it was going to be a waste of money but after watching, turned out that it was worth it. (kinda)

Transformers 2: revenge of the fallen Teaser Poster


Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is an upcoming science fiction film due for release on June 26, 2009. It is the sequel to 2007's Transformers, which was the first live action Transformers film. Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg return respectively as director and executive producer, while Shia LaBeouf reprises the role of Sam Witwicky, the human caught in the war between Autobots and Decepticons. Shooting began in May 2008.

Bay desired to give the sequel a bigger budget for a global scale and better characterization for a larger cast of robots. The main hurdle in getting the film produced was overcoming the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike, as well as possible strikes by the Directors Guild of America and the Screen Actors Guild. Bay met his shooting date with the help of previsualization and a scriptment by his writers Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman, and series newcomer Ehren Kruger.
