there's just something about disney channel original movies that's endearing...
to most critics, myself included, it'd be easy to sneer at their unoriginal plots and tacky endings, but sometimes, the great looking actors/actresses and amazing soundtracks make them the confort shows that are so fun to watch!!
last night's "An Endless Ring of Light" with Mischa Barton the guy that plays Louis Stevens (He's matured so so much!!) in Even Stevens, was really cool!
tonight's "Double Teamed" was less impressive, but the guy who played the principal in High School Musical acted as the basketball coach this time round, and he did say "Get-cha head in the game!", so that's pretty cool too...
speaking of disney channel celebs, i was doing my rounds of MTVs last night while talking to javier, and i watched the vid for Hilary Duff's "Play With Fire", and she's grown up so much! she now looks like a cross between older sis Haylie and Sheryl Crow... x) but yeah, still very pretty, albeit with a tad more make-up, larger ear-rings and a new set of whiter teeth...
Vanessa Anne Hudgens has ditched her middle name to take on her music career, and i must say that, despite my reservations, i'm beginning to like "Come Back to Me" more and more with each listen... that's more than i can say for the vid, which was lots of bad dancing and very little relevance... plus the opening line "presenting the indescribable Baby V" was a bit over the top...
Jessica Simpson's vid for "I Belong to Me" showcased how well she can act crying her eyes out, but the part during the bridge with the short short hair was a disaster... stick with the blonde curls i say...
i cannot STAND Lily Allen, that brit newbie, she's just really annoying, nothing compared to Natasha Beddingfield...
5 songs on the top of my playlist now:
"I Don't Need a Man" by PCD
"We Ride" by Rihanna, which is Spanking New this week on MTV Asia (the vid's another of her random ones)
"Tell Her" by Jesse MacCartney - i'm officially convinced that Jesse can sing, he's matured alot since his debut album...Plus he had a really fun performance on All That tonight...
my fav fav right now: "Jump" by Madonna, featured in The Devil Wears Prada, and it is so amazing, i can't believe i skipped in when i first got Confessions... the vid's very jap though, and she's got hideous bleached short hair...
last but certainly not least: from the long-awaited album by Diddy, PRESS PLAY, comes the breakout single "Come to Me", featuring Nicole Sherzinger...
its really really addictive, and Sean Combs has definitely taken some of his own advice he ditched out on Making the Band 3 (speaking of which, i really don't like Danity Kane's single, "Showstopper", not quite sure why it was the top selling album in the States a few months back)
just saw the teaser poster for Iron Man - the motion picture on IMDB, and its due for release in 2008... they've so far only casted Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, and some unknown as War Machine...
i put up a C BOX to replace by TAGBOARD; i've never liked anything besides tagboards, but it seems to be facing some difficulties, so no choice...
oh plus i caught One Tree Hill Season 4, Episode 3: Good News For People Who Like Bad News
it begins the era of no Lucas-Brooke, and troubles for Haylie-Nathan with Rachel in the picture... she's such a ho, but very exciting to watch...
it's gotta be that smile,
john.
