Disney 'Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure' (2011) Review


I finally got a chance to see Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure, the spin-off to the High School Musical series.  This movie is every bit as bad as I thought it would be, so if you like watching really bad movies, you're for a treat....

Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure Film Cover (2011) 

                                               
The plot is that Sharpay was the main villain in the High School Musical series. For some reason, now she's a hero. She's the same selfish jerk she's always been, but now you're supposed to be rooting for her instead of booing her. Everyone got that?

Sharpay has gone to New York City to star in a Broadway musical. However, due to a comic mishap, it turns out that her DOG got the role in the musical, not her. Sharpay spends about forty minutes arguing with her romantic interest, the minor antagonist and the main antagonist. Eventually, she ends up starring in the Broadway musical, it becomes a hit show, and she lives happily ever after.

They tried to make it a good plot, kind of. Okay, not really. The problem is that the two villains of this movie are generic Disney channel villains and so is Sharpay. So basically, she's going up against villains who act exactly the same way she does. It doesn't really work that well.

The music in this movie was sub-par. The problem is that that all the songs are Sharpay, singing solo. She sounds better when she has back-up singers, or when she's in a duet. I'm sorry, but she can't carry off four songs all by herself. The best song of the movie ended up being the one where she didn't sing.

Actually, let me talk more about the best song of the movie. It comes from the scene where the two dogs fall in love, to the tune of Justin Bieber's "Baby". And no, I'm not making that up. That was actually a scene in the movie. Watch it yourself if you don't believe me:






...And that was probably one of the better scenes of the movie. Yikes.

All in all, I give the movie a two out of ten. Maybe a one out of ten. There are only a few moments where the movie is actually entertaining. The sparse entertainment comes from random secondary characters; none of it comes from the main character. She tried, but she's just not that interesting or developed of a character.

Maybe one of the entertaining secondary characters will get their own spinoff, and then we'll have a spinoff of a spinoff. I wouldn't mind that.

 Rating: 3/5

Se7en (1995)

SE7EN What is your most prized possession? Your sins are the crime of the scene. With two great all time actors of Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman, we explore the world of deadly sins that can be gruesome and uninspiring. In this movie in the portrayal of Detective Mills (Brad Pitt) and Detective Somerset (Morgan Freeman) are in search of an extremely horrible serial killer by the name of John Doe (played as Kevin Spacey). This is a top-notch thriller of a lifetime movie to watch, one of the first and greatest thriller of a ride in catching a serial killer reflecting the 7 ways of sin. An ultimate thriller of a lifetime to watch from the greatest thriller director himself by the name of David Fincher. Watching this movie gave me goosebumps every second as we are guided through the serial killers action with reference to christian signs of "se7en deadly sins". The action builds suspense with each murder and not knowing the unknown of what to come next is a THRILLERRR!!!...

Disney 'Pinnochio' (1940) Review

Pinocchio. The story of an older, lonely man who wishes that his hand-carved puppet would come to life. It’s a magical story that I found to be the best movie that we have covered thus far in our quest to watch and review every Disney Animated theatrical release. Pinocchio (1940) Disney (c) The Plot (without the spoilers) Pinocchio begins with a song, after which our narrator introduces himself as Jiminy Cricket and takes us back to the beginning. Our intrepid insect adventurer finds a warm fire in the shop of a woodcarver, full of puppets and beautiful clocks. The woodcarver, Geppetto is putting the finishing touches on a little puppet that he names Pinocchio. After seeing the wishing star, he utters that now famous rhyme and wishes that his little puppet could become a real boy. He is heard by the Blue Fairy and his wish comes true (well....almost). For it to only be answered, Pinocchio must learn to be brave, truthful and unselfish and our narrator Jiminy is appointe...

Disney 'Beauty and the Beast' (2017) Review

Disney's live-action  Beauty and the Beast  isn't bad. How could it be? It's basically a remake of one of the greatest animated movies of all time. It's when it tries to be different that it stumbles, and those problems drag down the good parts where it gets hard to overlook its flaws, making you wonder if you should just watch the animated version again. The film's music acts as a microcosm of this problem. In almost every song from the original movie, they have added an orchestral dance break. Those breaks keep the songs from reaching a natural climax and, for anyone who knows the original movie — it is extremely distracting. Yes, the musical numbers look great, but just as you're getting into them — bam, a sudden drop in energy for a completely unneeded dance number. This happens in the plot as well. When the movie's remaking the animated version, it's great — especially thanks to the gorgeous visual flair director Bill Condon manages to fill ev...
