Miscellaneous Movie Musings

Legends of the Fall today. It was big, sprawling, nice James Horner score and Anthony Hopkins. A little long, but the scenary was gorgeous.

Okay, I just watched High School Musical.




I liked it.



Even though it was like a Mormon Grease, sanitized and completely rated G, I thought it was fun.
The acting was so so and the story was all too familiar, but I thought it was good.

I don't know why Disney keeps giving Kenny Ortega projects after Newsies and Hocus Pocus, but I'll cut him some slack with HSM.

I can see why kids went nutty over it last year.

Sarcasm meters on:
I can't wait for High School Musical 2 and 3.
The name of High School Musical 3 is Haunted High School Musical, btw. lol!

You'd have loved the bus ride I took with a load of 6th graders last year....on the way up we watched it more than once. On the way home, almost twice. Thank God I had a cd player and headphones and fall asleep easy and can't see without my glasses on.

But, what you really would have loved was how the kids got in to it. On the way home, one kid was getting up and doing the dance perfectly. I couldn't help but wonder how many times he'd seen the movie. But, it got the bus cheering and a couple of other kids got up and danced, too. That led the kids in to playing other games and so that was fun. But the movie, almost 3 times???? I am glad my son doesn't like it.

And did you mean 'Monster House'? I haven't heard of 'Monster Hose' but if it made you horny, I can imagine it isn't in the front aisles of Blockbuster?
