Musical Movies That Made Us Sing
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Adaptation, Classics, Family, Music, Musicals,
The High School Musical 3 trailer is out, Disney’s Camp Rock enjoyed a successful debut, and musical movies are becoming Hollywood mainstream again. But this is by no means a new or cutting-edge movie genre.
The Hollywood musical celebrated its heyday in the 1960s, when all the biggest stars were singing and dancing as well as acting. But as years passed, they began to fall by the wayside, cropping up irregularly in-between standard comedies and dramas. New projects, like the remake of My Fair Lady that I’ve already summarily rejected, are in the till…and there’s no doubt more new musical movies to come.
But before we accept these newcomers, let’s take the time to give a bow to the old. What are the Best 5 Musical Movies of all time, in one humble blogger’s opinion? I’m so glad you asked, because it just so happens I’ve prepared a list.

Best Movie Heroes
Yesterday, we took a look at the greatest villains ever to grace the big screen. But where would characters like Emperor Palpatine and Lex Luthor be without their counterparts: the movie heroes?
Today, we’ll look at the greatest heroes who ever shined on film. Will your favorite make the cut?
Shrek (Shrek, 2001; Shrek 2, 2004; Shrek the Third, 2007) voice of Mike Myers: He is the epitome of an unlikely hero and almost unintentionally saves the day every time. In true hero fashion, he does it all with a witty line and an unwillingness to seriously harm evildoers. What cements this animated character as a true movie hero? No hero can save the day without his trusty side quick, and Shrek has the best: Donkey (voice of Eddie Murphy).

Only Four Left Standing on American Idol
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Editorial,
As the number one show in the U.S., American Idol has had its share of mis-steps and bad press. The scandal, the controversy, the mistakes are all part of the Idol package. And let it be said that no PR force is more powerful or more graceful at covering - and apologizing for - flaws.
Host Ryan Seacrest made short work of addressing the latest issues on the show. After saying they were “still out of breath” from Tuesday, he announced that the performers collected 35 million votes. He talked about Neil Diamond, introduced the contestants and judges and then pointed to two Idol alum sitting in the crowd (Gina Glocksen and Constantine Maroulis). But before any talk of elimination could be presented, there was still a lingering issue to be faced: one judge’s live TV mistake.

Jason Castro: Already an American Idol
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip,
He’s going to get fifth place - at least - on the nation’s top show, but he’s already enjoying a huge fan base. Meet Jason Castro: crooner, cutie and American Idol of choice for the dreadheads.
Their base of operations is daydreamingboy.com, and their goal is support Castro’s bid for the AI crown. Last week, Castro was roundly abused for his choice to sing the famous “Memory.“ Couple this with exhaustion and chills, and it’s enough to prompt the dreadheads to action.

Lost: Greatest Hits - David’s Top Five of Awesomeness
Posted by David L. Williams Categories: Sci-Fi/Horror, NBC, Lost, Editorial, Features,
If the “Greatest Hits” episode of Lost proved one thing, it’s that the writers of Lost are stealing my “Top 5 of Awesomeness” idea and incorporating it in their show. Jealous much? Fine, fine, you can make it up to me by having me write for your show. Deal?
Maybe not. Still, as the penultimate (and really, how often do you get the chance to use that word?) episode, it was a terrific way of setting things up for the big climactic two hour finale, which I’ll watch on TiVo right after I find out that Jordin won Idol.
In the meantime, who’s ready for five awesome things?
EVERYBODY GETS A LINE. EVERYBODY! - Well, except Locke. People often gripe that such-and-such episode didn’t have such-and-such character in it, and I’m typically annoyed by that complaint. I mean, there are roughly 108 people in the cast, so each one of them can’t really be front and center every week, otherwise each episode would be about 7 hours long. Which wouldn’t be all that bad of a thing, considering what some of the networks are going to be putting on the air next season.
Oh, and side note to CBS: Your new show “Moonlight,” the one about the vampire who is a private investigator and hates other vampires? Yeah, I would go back to whoever pitched that show and make sure he/she is not just copying scripts from the show “Angel,” which, if you didn’t see it, was on the WB and was about, hmm, how should I put this, THE EXACT SAME THING. Come on.
Anyway, giving the complainers nothing to complain about, nearly every character was integrated into the storylines of this episode. With the exception of Locke (and, if you have to get technical, Tom/Mr. Friendly), the following characters were part of “Greatest Hits”: Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Jin, Sun, Claire, Charlie, Hurley, Desmond, Sayid, Rousseau, Rose, Bernard, Aaron, Naomi, Richard, Karl, Ben, Juliette, Alex, and even Vincent the dog made an appearance. That’s an awesome episode right there.

Lost: The Brig - David’s Top Five of Awesomeness
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, NBC, Lost, Editorial, Features,
Last week I mentioned that Lost should have always been a cult show and I hoped (in my heart, not in the article) that the producers would try to make Lost be even more of a cult show and forget that it also is (or was, if ratings are to be believed) a hit network show. This week’s episode, “The Brig,” proved that if you send these thoughts out into the universe, well, they just might true. Of course, I’m ignoring the fact that this episode was written and filmed several weeks before I put said thoughts out into said universe, but Oprah has taught me not to dwell on meager things like infallible logic as far as positive thinking is concerned.
“The Brig” was fan-damn-tastic, a really terrific, dark episode in a spring full of great episodes. Can I find five awesome things about it? Just try and stop me.
