One Day Out to HSM3! I Have My Tickets!!

Well, the day has finally come - High School Musical 3 premiere tomorrow!! I can't wait. Seems like it has been so long yet it also came quickly. I saw that Time Magazine didn't give it a great review but what do they know! Here's a quote:

"Anyone over nine can expect the movie's antiseptic energy to get enervating; G rating can be grating. The long dialogue scenes, meant to create the Act II Troy-Gab separation that will be resolved in Act III, often devolve into logorrhea. Tip to parents and kids: when the two leads start talking seriously, go for your popcorn and pee breaks."

Blah, Blah, Blah - why does a Time Magazine reviewer even care. I know this will be great. The Minneapolis Star-Tribune also gave it a so-so review:

"So in place of songs that illuminate character, frame a situation or advance the story — as in 'Grease,' 'Hairspray' and classic Disney musicals — we get bland ballads with lots of heart, but little personality. They're not lyrically distinguished or melodically memorable. They don't feel like they're expressing the characters' deepest feelings. But they're upbeat."

E Online gives a grade of B - which is bit better in the review:

"Unfortunately, while everyone was busy making superawesome dance sequences, someone let the ball drop on the story. HSM proper is all about Efron's Troy Bolton's desire to sing in addition to being a star basketball player. In No. 2, Troy is seduced by a richer and more powerful class, which he has to overcome in order to be true to himself and his friends."

Well, it looks like the mass media doesn't get what kids really want these days - something fun, musical, safe and away from the crap of what we get exposed to!

The Ottawa Citizen had some interesting comments:

"But in its style, High School Musical 3 also evokes memories of other great musical directors and choreographers - Vincente Minnelli, Bob Fosse Jerome Robbins, Michael Kidd - and also such legendary performers as Astaire and Gene Kelly.

'Gene Kelly was my mentor and my teacher,' Ortega tells Canwest News Service. The quiet-spoken 58-year-old filmmaker had loved old movie musicals from childhood, but it was Kelly - with whom he worked in the 1980 Xanadu - who had the biggest impact on him.

'It was meeting Gene and having Gene take time out of his life for me that sort of really helped me come to understand the importance that the director and choreographer had," says Ortega, who as a child performed in stage musicals like Oliver! and then made his first impact as an adult choreographing hit movies like Dirty Dancing and St Elmo's Fire.'"

I just can't wait - I'm sure I'll see it more than once. I hope everyone here makes some comments about it. Thanks for reading my blog over the last couple of years!

Countdown to High School Musical 3

Excitement Builds - High School Musical 3 Preview

All right - now I'm really, really psyched! High School Musical 3 is just around the corner.

Now or Never Video - Full Version

An even longer version of Now or Never - full four minute video. I love it! It is coming so soon now - only 38 days until the release!

Zac Efron on the Cover of Teen Vogue

BuddyTV reported that in the upcoming October issue of Teen Vogue, HSM lead Zac Efron will be the cover article. In a behind the scenes video on the magazine's website he noted, "I'm glad that someone is honoring the new and up-and-coming stars. I think there's a lot of new talent coming up. I'm proud to be representing!"

But Zac is part of that new talent bring amazing success to the Disney empire and becoming one of the most popular name in teen history. Even with that he still has some interest in the past - "I love Fred Estaire, Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor... I could go on for days with old Hollywood," he said.

But, much like the hollywood jet setters of the past he's part of the current media success, "I'm growing up under a magnifying glass, and I just try to rise above it and live my life." This has been a burden as well leaving little privacy he told Teen Vogue, "You don't realize until it's gone, but it is so important to feel normal."

With the upcoming October release of High School Musical 3 Efron feels the pressure - a time to break his teen image to something more adult. Much like HSM3 he has similar questions, "The stakes are higher because there are real decisions to be made. What college are you going to? What happens to the girl? It's fun watching Troy grow into a man!"

Teen Vogue will reach newsstands on September 9th.

Zac Efron Gets Punk'd with Water and TP!

While filming all of the High School Musical movies, Zac Efron was notorious for throwing water balloons at cast members when they least expected it. So here's the chance for all who wanted to get back at ZAC!
