She's All That!

Advantages: Freddie, make over
Disadvantages: Predictable

...I would group this movie in the same adolescent genre as films such as I Know What you Did Last Summer, Scream etc, partly because it contains some of the same actors and partly because they all have generally the same theme and set up running through them. Most of the movies I could give or take but I actually really liked She?s All That and actually went to watch it twice in the cinema as I liked it so much the first time. It might have had something to do with the lead male role in the film, Zack Siler, played by the then unknown Freddie Prinze Jr. I hadn?t seen him in anything before and yes, I admit it, I immediately had a crush on him. He?s cute in a boyish sort of way and I think still is to this day and plays the part of high school crush well. His character is the popular, class president, cute boy at school who you really...

G8 conference? What we need are Dinosaurs and all That rubbish".

Advantages: Simple story with a deeper message told in an amusing way
Disadvantages: none that I can think of

...?Dinosaurs and all that Rubbish? by Michael Foreman Genre: Junior Books for ages 4+ Paperback book of 32 pages ISBN 014055260X Available on Amazon for about £4.85 This was a favourite book of my children when they were young; they are now 27 and 24 so it has been around for a few years. Because it was a favourite book I brought it back from Australia with us in 1989 an since then I have read it to innumerable Primary school classes over the years. The story begins with a man in a beautiful world looking out in to space at a planet he thinks looks even more beautiful than the one he is on. He is desperate to get to this wonderful planet and begins to build various means of getting to the dream place. This requires many factories to be built and destroying huge numbers of trees, burning everything until the atmosphere is filled...

She's All That is all that!

Advantages: Enjoyable, feel-good, lots of eye-candy
Disadvantages: Too lightweight for some

...Films... aren't they great? For a few hours, you are transported into a completely different world. At the least, you'll be entertained, and if you're lucky, you might learn something and gain insights into what the film is dealing with. Most of my favourite films fall into the first category; nothing more than entertainment! Chicago, Forrest Gump, Billy Elliot, East Is East and Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion are my favourite films, and She's All That is the latest addition. THE STORYLINE Zack Siler (Freddie Prinze Junior) is the stereotypical American soccer player. Not the brightest character ever, but a huge success with the ladies. When his girlfriend, Taylor (Jodie Lyn O'Keefe), dumps him for a star (Matthew Lillard) of an Big Brother-style show on MTV, his ego is understandably bruised. His best friend, Dean...

All That He Is.. Is All That Your Man Ain't

Advantages: A strong mix of tracks
Disadvantages: A couple of average tracks

..."All That I Am" is the second album from the R&B singer, Joe (Thomas). It came out in 1997, five years after debuting with "Everything" in 1993. The album went Platinum, and launched the artist's career with some of the best R&B from the nineties. 1. "All The Things" This is an example of Joe at his best, in one of the best showcases throughout the whole of the album. You get Joe singing to his maximum potential as he talks of how he is able to fulfuil all the desires of a girl who he knows is taken, but wishes she could have more from it. **Five Stars** 2. "The Love Scene" Here you get a very well-composed one where Joe acts in par of a love scene. it is a nice one, where you get him sing very descriptively as to how it should be acted out; leaving you will a very sensual display and lots to go through as he gradually...

Review of All That I Am - Joe

all just that and no more

Advantages: mildly entertaining
Disadvantages: none too original

...Shes All that is one of those fluffy american high school teen flicks that took quite a bit of money considering it's budget. It stars Freddie Prinze Jr as a high school jock who takes a bet that he can turn the high school geeky girl into a prom queen. The geek in question is Rachel Leigh Cook who is made to look shabby by wearing baggy clothes and glasses. It doesn't take a fool to realize that shes pretty hot underneath. So we get the usual trying to fit in scenes combined with some hidden agendas and finally the girl finds out the scret and is offended. Boy meets girl, girl falls for boy, girl discovers secret, boy gets realizes he's done wrong and tries to get girl back. Yeah it's not that original but it's harmless enough and the two leads aer quite nice together and it has a great dance sequence as well as girls in bikinis...

THIS FILM IS ALL THAT

Advantages: Great film
Disadvantages: Nothing

...There are just so many girly 'chic fliks' around at the moment! ~ This is another one! But don't worry its a pretty decent one! Great to watch, pretty funny at times and a very good plot. ~ Only the usual though! What I mean by 'the usual' is the normal US chic flik plot = Lots of events leading up to the big prom night. This US chic flik however, 'She's All That' really is 'all that'! I found it really enjoying to watch and funny at times. It stars two main characters who are acted by, Freddie Prinze Jr and Rachel Leigh Cook. There are also many other recognisable people in the film, Usher the great RnB artsit stars as the school campus DJ, Sarah Michelle Gellar makes a short appearance and the ginga guy from American Pie stars in it too! The story as usual leads up to prom night, but what happens before prom night is the main...

Its all that and more

Advantages: good film
Disadvantages: predictable

...Overview ------------ This is a fun romantic comedy so don't be expecting gripping drama! And although not Oscar-winning, it's a brilliant slice of girly entertainment. Another great teen film dealing with sensitive issues that affect todays youth in an understanding yet amusing way. Characters -------------- Freddie Prinze Jnr plays the teenage hottie Zach brilliantly. He makes him believable as the popular but not arrogant guy. Anna Paquin plays Zach's younger sister and is great for the part, Sarah Michelle Gellar also appears in an interesting cameo! Usher also pops up early on in the movie and his acting is actually quite believable! Plot ----- Zac the most popular guy in school bets he can make any girl into the prom queen after being dumped by the very nasty Taylor (his long term girlfriend). Laney Boggs is the poor...

Shes All That Then Some

Advantages: Funny, Lighthearted Comedy.
Disadvantages: Unoriginal.

...I wasn’t at all bothered about seeing She’s all that but when me and my friends arrived at the cinema the only decent looking film was this teen flick and since I’m obsessed with them I thought why not? The movie was a portrayal of what it's like at school in America because stuff like that just doesn’t happen here! The movie begins with Zack Siler (Freddie Prinze Jr.) arriving at his school after summer break, and his popular and bitchy girlfriend Taylor Vaughn (Jodi Lyn O’Keefe) dumps him. He’s confused why and then he finds out on summer break she’d met another guy, a guy from the show the real world. He gets dissed by his friends but wants to show them if he dates any girl, they would be prom queen beating his ex Taylor, his friends think he’s insane because its guaranteed Taylor...

It's all that! and more!

Advantages: Humourous, witty, light-hearted spoof
Disadvantages: -

...Most everyone on the internet (which makes most of you, as you're reading this review via the internet portal of Ciao) has encountered, either in a website or a mass emailing, various humourous and hilarious historical satires, usually presented (alas, urban legend alert!) as inaccuracies found in actual student papers. Mistakes such as: + Egypt is in a desert, and watered by irritation. + + Handel was half-German, half-Italian, and half-English. + + Lincoln lived at the Gettysburg Address. + And so on. Well, in the days before email and websites (and photocopiers, to pass such gems around the office), these things did exist, and were, because of the difficulty in finding it by other means, published. Much to our pleasure, one such collection can still be found. '1066 and All That' is a humourous if fractured look...
