Raise Your Voice (2004)

Raise Your Voice

[6/10 · 20 May 2006]

Why I watched Raise Your Voice? We had it as a DVD just lying about in the house and I was so bored with no cable one day that I decided to watch it.

Anyway, the movie is about Terri Fletcher (hilary duff) whose brother Paul (jason ritter) dies in a car accident and she also gets accepted to a music school. Etc etc...

I think the bad casting in the movie was choosing Hilary to be Terri because all her roles are so similar and it gets annoying. Oh, and some of the singing is obviously prerecorded because it didn't sound like singing right now, if you get what I mean. And kinda annoying how 1/3 to 1/2 the movie all she's doing is crying.

The other supporting actors/actresses were pretty good - Oliver James, Dana Davis, John Corbett, etcc... and more.

I kind of wish that it was not so predictable. But at least that in the end, the scholarship went to Denise :)

BTW, I am a bit confused. I read in a magazine and on the back of the DVD cover and they say Ashlee Simpson is in the movie. I watched it to look for her in it but she wasn't after all. How weird. BTW don't you thing Jay's hair looks like Ryan Cabrera's?

Personally, not a Duff fan so don't be hatemailing me, OK?

Pixel Perfect (2004 TV Movie)

A great movie

[9/10 · 27 September 2005]

When I saw the commercial for Pixel Perfect, I just thought, "Ok...why not watch it?" Good thing I did, because I found it to be a great movie!

The songs were really good (and that includes the instrument music, too) and I did not get annoyed with the music videos, unlike some songs where you'd feel "oh god not again" when seeing the videos. Notice Me and Nothing's Wrong with me were really good. :D

She's not a really main part and all but my favorite character was Cindy, played by Tania Gunadi. Not a very important role, but well played.

The dances were not extremely good. And like another user mentioned, Loretta's flips were obviously fake.

Many Disney movies are like you totally know what's gonna happen, but here, even though it WAS predictable, it was not entirely as I guessed.

Overall, it was a great movie and the actors/actresses in the movie were really good. Cool, you should watch it!
