High School Musical 3 Review

I went to watch HSM3 with my niece (8 yours old), cousin (14 yrs old) and hubby 2 weeks ago and I honestly enjoyed it. Well, I have watched HSM1 and HSM2 as well...hehe. This time there are more dancing (great choreographs) and singing. The storyline is a bit predictable but a feel good story and of course sweet romance (sigh....zac and vanessa). It started off with Troy Bolton playing basketball (Go Wildcats!) and of course they started singing....it was a bit weird when Gabriella started to sing out to him from the audience stand. My husband gave me the look when i laughed out seeing that scene. Yes...of course the Wildcats win the game and then there are more romance scene of Troy and Gabriella on top of his treehouse and singing of course.

Then the whole cast has accidently planted themselve to do a final muscial show to the dismay of Sharpay (which wanted to do a show of herself). Honestly Sharpay has suddenly become quite a stunner and Gabriella of course (no wonder Troy/Zac has eyes for her only). But then since it is the final year, they decided to do it .

"Oh Zac!, you can sing to me everyday!"

Since it was the final year at High School, Troy was divided in either choosing basketball or theater while Gabriella (the whiz kid) was choosen to attend an early orientation program at Stanford College which means she has to ditch the muscial show and the prom night. So...yadda yadda yadda...comes to the ending part, Troy drove all the way to Gabriella college (which I think takes a whole day drive) and convince her to come back for the musical show (of course with more dancing and singing). After the show all the cast decided what they wanted to do (which I find it funny that they need to annouce it out loud on the stage after a musical show). Ryan and Kelsi won the scholarship award to the prestigious Julliard school, Sharpay will continue another year at the high school to assist the Drama class and will go to UA to take drama, Chad will take basketball at UA, Gabriella is takeing pre-law (I thought she was a whiz at maths and science?) and Troy decided to go University of California where they offer him both basketball and theatre and also that he can be near to Gabriella (oh...isn't that sweet)

Of course the finale, lots of dancing and singing on the Graduation Day and the curtain close for High School Musical. It was a bit sad for me coz they will be no more HSM....how about College Musical or Post HSM???....lol. Well I enjoyed the show and I bet all those who are around my age or older are secretly enjoying it too but of course we give excuse that we were just companying our niece or daughters to the show.

Interesting new korean drama for 2008!!

Two korean drama which are on my ' wanted to watch' list. Korean hotties like song seung hoon (autumn in my heart), Hye Bin(snow queen), Song Hye Kyo (All in) are back!!

1. EAST OF EDEN


East of Eden’ is an epic 50-part drama series that begins in a mining village in the 1960s. The drama revolves around family love, life-long friendships and bitter revenge. The drama features some of Korea’s most celebrated younger and older generation actors including Lee Mi-suk, Yoo Dong-geun, Jo Min-ki, Lee Jong-won, Song Seung-heon (Autumn in my heart), Yeon Jung-hoon, Jung Hye-young, Han Ji-hye (Bride 16l) and Lee Da-hae (My GirL).

I think this drama will be lots of revenge and love conflicts...a very serious drama type. I want to watch due to Song Sueng Heon and Han Ji Hye.

2. WORLDS WITHIN



The cast is Hye Bin (Snow Queen, My Name Is Kim Sam-soon) and Song Hye-kyo 송혜교 (Full House, Hotelier, Autumn's Tale; Hwang Jin-yi, My Girl & I). This drama will depict the process of television drama production. An interesting pairing and both are cute!.... a good reason to watch. I notice that Song Hye Kyo has cut her hair short!! but still looks pretty.
