Prom Review ~ Its a little chiched and corny, but its cute

From the makers of High School Musical, Camp Rock and other great hits, Disney finally decided to make a Prom movie. Is it good? Well, that all depends if you liked Prom in high school.

Prom focuses on a bunch of kids who are either excited, or not excited for the upcoming high school prom. In fact, thats what all these kids seem to think about. They are thinking about who is going to ask them out, or how to ask some one out. You would think these kids only think about Prom and nothing else, which of course, no body in real life would be this crazy over Prom.

They put a lot of effort into it to asking each other out, which I don't remember kids from my high school doing that. But that is Disney for you, taking something like Prom and kinda turning it into some fairy tale type of thing.

The pairings, are well, a little chiched to say the least. But thats to be expected as Disney would never go the edgy route. The romance aspect is a little over the top, again due to Disney's "theres love for everyone route" but its not so bad.

What else can I say, its a heart warming, depressing, awkward Prom movie. I was never a fan of Prom, so I wasn't all that into it. But if Prom and watching couples (um, Disney couples) try to figure their way though Prom, then this may be a movie for you.

African Cats Review ~ No wonder Steve Jobs loves cats

African Cats is the 3rd documentary film made by Disneynature. Following the first film, simply entitled Earth, and the sequel, Oceans, African Cats takes a focus in Africa. Now if you have never seen a DisneyNature film, its a pretty cool documentary.

African Cats is told in a story like way, focusing on three main stories. One of the stories is about a 6 old month cub, trying to grow up to be like his mother. But the mother gets hurt protecting the cub, making things a little harder. Another story focuses on the Cheetah's, and the last story is about a pack of Lions, where the leader of the pack must fight to prove that he is King. Even though all the stories take place in Africa, none of them are connected.

Its a serious documentary, but its told in a child like way by the narrator, Samuel L. Jackson. Yeah thats right. The guy from Snakes on a Plane, is narrating a Disney film.I guess they figured that with all his Snake knowledge he would be a good fit for talking about African Cats. Overall, he does a pretty good job of keeping things interesting.

Another good thing about African Cats is the camera work itself. Expect a lot of shots of cute cubs and kittens to make you go AWWWWW, and as well some epic cat fights for those who like action. Overall, the filming work is well done. You get up close to the cats, all while sitting in a comfy movie seat. The movie moves at a nice pace and always keeps you interested.

Overall, I have nothing bad to say about this film. Its a wildlife documentary done well, so if thats what your looking for, you can't go wrong. Plus you can take the kids.

Also, if you go during opening weekend, you can help make a donation to the African Cats with your ticket! So if you plan on seeing it, go opening weekend.
