High School Musical 3

High School Musical 3

Who's in it: Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, Lucas Grabeel, Corbin Bleu

What's it about: In the final year of high school, Troy(Efron) and Gabriella(Hudgens) are finally realizing that they will soon be coming to a goodbye. They're brought into another musical for their final mark on East High. Sharpay(Tisdale) and Ryan(Grabeel) Evans are on their tails though. Wanting the end of senior year to be all about them, they're willing to do almost anything to get the leads. Gabriella leaves for Stanford University before the year ends and Chad(Bleu) has to help Troy get through his final days at East High and, more importantly, his last days as a Wildcat.

What I Think: Always have been a fan of Kenny Ortega and his directing with all of the High School Musicals. The dancing was superb. I love all of the songs that they sang. Efron is still beautiful as is Hudgens. Tisdale has really started to get on my favourite actresses list. I absolutely love everything about Grabeel. He's adorable with his, as my mother says, 'bug eyes'. The wardrobe was fabulous. Great way for the Wildcats to go out with a bang!

Across the Universe


Across the Universe


Who's in it: Jim Sturgess, Evan Rachel Wood, Joe Anderson, Dana Fuchs, Martin Luther, T.V. Carpio


What's it about: Jude(Sturgess) comes to America from England in search for a better life. He meets Max(Anderson) at a college and comes with him home for Thanksgiving. Here he meets Lucy(Wood) and falls in love. Max and Jude move to New York City and meet Sadie(Fuchs), who is on her way to stardom. Jo-Jo(Luther) becomes her new guitarist and Prudence(Carpio) climbs through the window into their huge apartment. When Lucy gets into a hippie newspaper group, Jude tries his best to save her. He, however, gets deported.


What I Think: I love the Beatles and I loves the acting in this movie. It was great to watch such an innocent love grow. The way the songs played into the movie was very imaginative and interesting. Sturgess played his character very well. This movie kind of reminded me of 'The Wall' from Pink Floyd, but this was way better.
