Brothers and Sisters s03e07


In this episode of brothers and sisters, Kitty and Robert were meeting with their supposed to be birthmother until something annoying and stupid happened. Kevin tries to feel his way on the new job and the risks to it. Rebecca and Justin go through sweet young stages of love. Julia and Tommy go celebrate their anniversary in the Magic Manor which Sarah saves due to her new and young business partners. And Nora… again its about Ryan - meaning its about George.

What I don’t get about in this episode is Kitty's reaction to the birthmother. It seems a little bit disbelieving. I could only surmise that what she is looking for in a birthmother is someone like her in weird ways but wasted and stupid and winding up getting pregnant at some party she didn’t even get invited to. Kevin's all about gay alley again. I know that he's gay but it doesn’t mean that everybody is. I know its nice to be high and proud but what's the deal of having to always insist about being gay, when your being paid to handle your boss' problems not yours. Get over it. Rebecca and Justin, its just young love. It actually kind of feels a little bit nostalgic from all those teen love high school you see on other shows. What I don’t have clamor about is Tommy, Sarah, Saul and Nora. Their stories were all in character, or at least they're acting human enough.

Heroes s03e08: villains


This episode twisted back on the time when the villains of the series took part in their journey and somehow became heroes themselves. On that note, this episode tied loose knots to questions and made them connect to what was really happening. They made the story of the villains fit part of the journey of the heroes.

The episode was quite the storyteller type one. It was rather more of an explanatory way of dealing with the lives of the villains. Not much can be said in this episode, rather than good job for tying up the loose ends that people needed to understand more clearly. What keeps people interested is that the writers give out the secret and involvement of each characters in the series, making it a real story. But the writers still keep a whole lot of surprises in the next episodes.

High School Musical 3



High School Musical 3 right now, I can say, you have to watch it. There's no doubt that you shouldn't, that's if you watched the first 2 installments (and yes i did watch the first 2). But if your short on cash and would rather spend your time watching something in the movies more entertaining then forget watching this.

Breaking it down one by one:

Story
There's not anything except its senior year. The gist in this installment was just to put a lid in the story lines which were not really hanging. They were just optional. Rather than living things at that, they extended it so that it has sort of final end to the term "high school." Most of the story just picked up from the recurring themes in the previous ones, as to where the Troy Gabriella love will end up? Is Sharpay up to her no good twisted way just to get ahead? Not much really went to the story lines as I've first said they just put a lid on it.

Characters
The story involved more of the other supporting characters which was good but of course the two lead love pair had most of the center stage through out the movie.

Music
Due to the fact that it is a musical production, it means that the movie shouldn't be treated by the story lines itself but also its quality of music since both are only half and half of a real musical movie. But high school musical 3, again, failed to surpass its first 2 installments. Out of 10 songs, there were only probably 3 that was good enough to be a pop song or hit the music charts (its for teens and kids, so it has to be pop right?). What lacked in the songs were the lyrics, they didn't sound as if it was a whole song, like it was only music made from scratch and not really made to hit but only to add up to the list of songs for the musical ...a little bit rushed.

Visual and Cinematography
This is one of the good points in High School Musical 3. When watching it you'll feel like its actually a musical,like you're really in a theater. But then again, if you felt like it should be more of a movie rather than a theater musical you'd be disappointed.

Verdict?
2 frapblends out of 5
It's a teen musical for cable tv. Why do people have to pay more for it now? When you start it of in one form of media, finish it there. Don't get all greedy because it was a hit.
