Knowing (2009)

So good.. till the end

[6/10 · 20 March 2009]

I was disappointing with the ending and seeing as it was the ending that's kind of how it left me, which isn't a good thing.

I was pretty hooked through the action. The acting was good, the suspense was really good and the score was amazing! Then it stopped being realistic... at that moment, when they stopped it being somewhat possible, I got bored. *spoiler*: aliens? really? The whole we're the chosen ones to make new life blah blah killed it for me. There was so much more they could have done with it, even killing them all off would have left me feeling more fulfilled.

put simply, a great flick until it took on a science fiction ending

Camp Rock (2008 TV Movie)

Hmmm

Well... I expected this to be HSM redone and it was pretty close, but more different than I had originally thought. I figured I'd watch it, if it became HSM a quick flick of the channel could save me, but I managed to sit through the whole thing. I was also worried because Family realllyyyy hyped it up, they had done the same with The Latest Buzz which, in my opinion, is probably the worst show I've ever seen.

Demi Lovato was a pleasant surprise. Her acting wasn't that bad and her singing was pretty good. Alyson Stoner was also very good. Meaghan Martin was pretty good too. Anna Maria etc. I think did a fair job considering her character had a lot of really bad cheesy lines and I didn't end up cringing. I liked the songs a lot more than the songs from both HSM.

The Jonas Brothers didn't impress me at all, but I didn't expect they would considering it was basically just advertisement for them. Joe was OK although choppy, Kevin was given a potentially funny character but he really disappointed me, Nick just seemed like a useless character put there to give Nick a role.

There were a few plot holes that bugged me. It annoyed me how it was advertised as a musical but wasn't one. The songs did very little for the plot, you could have taken them out and the movie would have still finished the same way more of less.

Cheesy, predictable, over advertised... but bearable
