High School Musical (Encore Edition) [2006]

starring: Ryne Sanborn, Alyson Reed, Monique Coleman, Vanessa-Anne Hudgens, Olesya Rulin
directed by: Kenny Ortega

December 04, 2006
As a straight 39-year-old man I was wary of watching High School Musical to say the least. However I really enjoyed it.

Okay, it is an all smiling all dancing cheesy musical. And you can predict the storyline from the opening credits. But it is done in such a pleasant way that you probably won't be able to help yourself singing along, even if it is to yourself!

The story is hardly groundbreaking. Boy meets girl on vacation. They click (singing a karaoke duet, of course) and, would you believe it, she is transferred to his High School. He's a top basketball player but has a secret desire to sing and dance. They try out for the school musical and the rest as they say is history, or at least a good laugh.

High School Musical 2 - Extended Edition [2007]

starring: Zac Efron, Alyson Reed, Corbin Bleu, Monique Coleman, Vanessa Anne Hudgens
directed by: Kenny Ortega

Wow! Three words to describe this feelgood movie. Its summer vacation but its not all fun and games for Troy, Gabriella and fellow wildcats as they begin work at Lava Springs country club which Sharpay's parents own. Sharpay tries to snatch Troy away from Gabriella and in the meantime there is the Lava Springs talent show to worry about.
Filled with catchy songs, a talented cast and a good storyline this movie is clean and heartwarming...siutable for the whole family.

Hocus Pocus [1993]

starring: Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kathy Najimy, Omri Katz, Thora Birch
directed by: Kenny Ortega

February 05, 2001
I was first introduced to this film as a child and have recently rediscovered it at age 23. I still love it. Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy are so hilarious as the evil Sanderson sisters and the musical numbers are fab. I agree there should be a soundtrack.

Definately one to watch, kids will love it, I put it on for my younger brother and he loved it. The only thing that creeped him out was the talking cat, think Salem from Sabrina the Teenage Witch. This cat is Sarcastic, dry and ultmately hilarious.

Give it a go people. Bette Midler is ace.

High School Musical - Remix [Blu-ray] [2006]

starring: Zac Efron, Vanessa Anne Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, Lucas Grabeel, Alyson Reed
directed by: Kenny Ortega

So, I'm sure you're asking yourself if this Blu-ray is worth the upgrade? After all Disney have released HSM so many times already even the biggest fans must be feeling cheated! We've had sing-a-long, a dance version, remix and encore when will it end? Well, the good news is that all of those versions are on this disc! Sing-along is basically karaoke. Dance along means that the cast teach you the moves to two songs (16 minutes) So, is it worth buying again? I'll answer that with a resounding yes! The picture on this transfer is flawless and one of the top five transfers I've ever seen. Sometimes the picture feels like 3D (like you're looking through a window and not a television set) Colours are the sharpest I've ever seen and every aspect is visable. That's every ... Read More:

I'm writing this review for my 7 year old daughter. She thinks that this film is great. The singing is good, the dancing is good, the acting is good, the story is good - if you are a 7 old year old girl then the whole thing is great.

From a parental point of view you can put this film on and let children watch it. There are no nasty undertones, like there are in Grease (which is mentioned in one of the other reviews), everythng is whiter than white, even the "nasty" characters all turn out good in the end. If you have a daughter then she will probably be singing and dancing to this for years - my son, however, can do without it.
