Avalon High (2010)
Surprisingly good Disney movie :)
ever since High School Musical came out on Disney Channel, Disney has been trying for many years to make anything close to it. but i have to say, this movie was surprisingly good compared to what has been attempted before. other movies have been no more than hectic clichés and very sad, cheesy story lines. This one, not only being a very different story line, did not contain cheesy or bad acting or story line. i thoroughly enjoyed this one and although it didn't come close to HSM, it was very well done :) a message to other reviewers, please, if you don't like a movie, by all means, share your thoughts and feelings but in a civilized way. sometimes some of you can be to harsh. its not wrong to dislike something, but just try be a little more polite when stating what is wrong with it :) thanks :)
The Hangover Part II (2011)
All around, just very very wrong.
i found the first movie almost classy when i compared it to the second. the first Hangover was filled with wit, humor and funny little mistakes that were in most ways easy to solve. they were able to find their friend and in some was reverse what they had done while being drunk. in the second movie, aside from being far too similar to the first, everything was just all around bad. not in a sense of acting or production, but in the sense that they visited some very very politically touchy subjects and problems in bangkok, and actually had the nerve to make them seem funny. they also did many things that were, in every way, disgusting, immoral and irreversible! this, i felt, was just all around sad and sick. in the movie, we witness such problems as a monkey that has been trained to smoke and deal drugs, men posing as women prostitutes and strippers to earn money, lots of poverty, drug abuse and more. all of which are real, serious problems in Asia and especially in Bangkok. not only that, but so much immorality is shown and things are done that in real life would be irreversible and unforgivable. in the beginning, after they wake up, they think Mr. Chow is dead after a drug overdose, so they stuff his "body" into a freezer hoping no one would find out. even though that part worked out because he was actually alive, it shows the characters morals in the story! they thought he was dead and they tried to hide it which was totally immoral! also, Stu gets a tattoo, not too bad but still, irreversible and physically scaring. they take a underage boy out to drink. immoral. he has hopes of becoming a doctor and plays the cello. he then loses his finger, rendering him unable to do either. Stu, an engaged man, has sex with a man! immoral and irreversible! yes, in the first one he gets married. however, it was to a woman and he didn't sleep with her. i found it utterly wrong and disturbing how they made Alan so retarded that he has not learned his lesson from the first time to NOT drug people. very unrealistic. it all leads back to everything being his fault and obviously everyone is mad with him. in the first one he made a mistake by drugging them because the drugs were switched, but in no 2, he simply tried to drug a boy using a harmful substance because he was jealous. overall, i didn't enjoy the attempted humor nor the fact that the sequel was just to extend a hit but actually ended up destroying it. sometimes, when you hit the big-time with a great movie, leave it at the first one. don't try your luck again by making a sequel because 90percent of the time, it just ruins it.
