The Cheetah Girls (2003)

Sabrina Bryan was my favorite competitor in this last season of “Dancing with the Stars.” I knew she was a Cheetah Girl, but to be honest, all I really knew was that the Cheetah Girls were some kind of girl group. They’ve certainly created quite the sensation amongst the preteen set, so I decided I’d watch this movie and see what the fuss was about. Raven stars as Galleria (yeah, that’s right) a teenager who writes music. Together with her friends Aqua (Kiely Williams), Chanel (Adrienne Bailon), and Dorinda (Sabrina Bryan) they are the Cheetah Girls, a band that sings … Continue reading →

I’ll Never Win American Idol

I’ll never win American Idol, or Dancing with the Stars. I can’t twirl a fire baton, tap dance or ballet dance, for that matter. You’ll never see me on America’s Got Talent, the Miss America pageant, or any other stage performing any other sort of stage-type talent. I just don’t have any. In fact, many of us don’t. And many of us feel that because of this, we aren’t talented. We beat ourselves up, wondering why were weren’t one of the chosen. We sit in sacrament meeting, listening to Sister Jones warble out a beautiful hymn with her perfect contralto, … Continue reading →

High School Musical (2006)

Ever since “High School Musical” debuted on the Disney Channel in 2006, it seems everyone with a preteen or who is a preteen is talking about it. I decided to watch it and see what all the hype was about, especially after seeing Monique Coleman on “Dancing with the Stars” a couple of seasons ago. Yes, I’m afraid I do let “Dancing with the Stars” govern some of my life’s decisions. Anyway. Troy Bolton (Zac Efron) is at a ski lodge with his parents on New Year’s Eve, and wanders in to the teen New Year party for lack of … Continue reading →

Strictly Ballroom (1992)

“Strictly Ballroom” is an Australian-made spoof of the ballroom dance arena, and it’s a lot of fun. Scott Hastings (Paul Mercurio) is the son of a champion ballroom dancer, and she has raised him with the same ambitions. He wants to win the championship, but along the way, he started experimenting with steps of his own that weren’t strictly ballroom, and he demonstrated them at a lower-level meet, throwing the judges into a tizzy, nearly giving his mother a nervous breakdown, and causing everyone to wonder about the future of the sport. Liz, his partner (Gia Carides) refuses to dance … Continue reading →

Week in Review: February 4th-9th

We had a really fun week here in Movies. Can’t decide what to rent? Take a look at the following and see what appeals to you. “Corrina, Corrina” stars Whoopi Goldberg and tells of the way one incredible housekeeper changed the lives of a widower and his daughter. A heartfelt and deeply touching movie that addresses loss and racism. Amanda Bynes stars in “She’s the Man,” a comedy about a girl who pretends to be her twin brother in order to play on the boys’ soccer team. She wasn’t planning to fall in love with her roommate, though. “Must Love … Continue reading →
