""High School Musical" represents everything I despise about the corporate juggernaut known as Disney: Flawless teens seemingly air-brushed by nature, ready-to-market characters prepared to franchise into every imaginable direction (stage play, television series, dolls, ice show, dolls, recording contracts, etc.), and a story you can set your watch to. It's also pretty darn fun, gosh darn it. I realize that the majority of the target audience of 'High School Musical 3: Senior Year' could not give two shakes of Zac Efron's hips as to what my opinion of the film is. So this review go out to all the parents out there.

"In yet another sign that 2008 is the new 1928, Hollywood, impressed by the massive first-weekend success of High School Musical 3, is rushing a number of music-based projects into production. Paramount is bumping their Zac Efron-starring, Kenny Ortega-directed remake of Footloose up the calendar; Nick and Norah director Peter Sollett has been asked to punch up the script before a spring shoot. Meanwhile, Fox is setting up their own big-screen musical around a passel of Disney Channel stars: this time, it’s the Jonas Brothers, and the project is the first film in a hoped-for franchise based on the “Walter the Farting Dog” books. Yes, there are apparently childrens books about farting dogs. Maybe it’s not The Great Depression 2 — maybe it’s Idiocracy 0.5. Perhaps surprisingly, Dan Glickman says that although “there’s no fundamental difference between Obama or McCain on intellectual property issues,” an Obama administration might be slightly more favorable for the MPAA’s fight against ...

""If You Leave" by OMD - From: "Pretty in Pink""If you leave, don't leave now. Please don't take my heart away. Promise me, just one more night. Then we'll go our separate ways." What teenager can't imagine the heartbreaking, beautiful sadness of only being allowed one more night, for whatever cruel, cruel reason. Never mind the blatant contradiction of OMD, singing in one line that they won't let go of us at any price, and then quicker that you can exhale a deep, soft shuddery sigh of resignation to stay, they're stating they'll be running in the other direction the second our feet hit the pavement. Those New Wave British Synth-Pop groups are all the same. "Against All Odds" by Phil Collins - From "Against All Odds" There is somet "

"The new trailer for this summer’s animated feature Star Wars: The Clone Wars isn’t all that exciting. So instead, I bring you this year’s Star Wars dance-off (aka Dancing with the Star Wars Stars) from a recent Star Wars Weekends event held at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. I’d definitely prefer a theatrical release of something like this than a movie that looks like a video game. And who can argue with me? Chewbacca dancing to the theme from Footloose? Princess Leia singing “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” to her mom, Queen Amidala? Darth Vader and troops reliving the video for Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”? There’s no way you can say no to that. This year’s dance numbers were so much better than last year’s disco-themed event, which reminded me to "

"The Curator has been working so hard. We keep punching our card. Eight hours - for what? Oh, tell us what we got. We get this feeling…that time's just holding us down. We’ll hit the ceiling, or else we'll tear up this town. But what to do about it? What we need is an action plan.FIRST - We Got to Turn You Around We’ll do that by showing you, in not uncertain terms, why our back-water small town and it’s “laws” are jacked. Dry town? Sure, we can see that. Hicks hate everything but church and guns anyway, and teenagers have absolutely no desire to experiment with the spirits, so they’ll never miss it.

"I still don’t get the deal with these “virtual worlds” the kids are all into today, but apparently someone at Paramount Pictures is hip enough to exploit get involved. The studio is opening its film vault and supplying both There.com and vMTV (which like Paramount is owned by Viacom) with thousands of very short “PG-13-or-tamer” video clips of parts of its movies (examples given are Footloose and Clueless). Unlike the full-length versions of The Matrix and Gattaca that are available in the “world” of Gaia Online, these clips are not as much for entertainment purposes as they are a sort of virtual way to “speak” in movie quotes. There.com and vMTV members will be able to e "

"From the Entertainment and Culture blog over at New York Magazine comes a list of THE TEN MOST ANTI-CHRISTIAN MOVIES OF ALL TIME. What a title, eh? 10. Carrie (1976) After the titular protagonist gets her first period at school, her crazy, devoutly Christian mother locks her in a closet and tells her to pray, explaining that only sinners menstruate (Wikipedia says this is false). Luckily, Carrie has telekinetic powers, which she uses to toss her mom across a room, electrocute her principal, and burn down her high school's gymnasium, killing hundreds of students. Parents, take note.Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =yJe0iVo8y3A "
