* Let's Rock At Camp! *

Advantages: Teens will like it!
Disadvantages: Does'nt Feature much of the Jonas Bros!

...Being a High School Musical fan , when I heard that there was a new 'music' film out , I just had to see what Disney had come up with and whether it was live up to the success of High School Musical. Camp Rock is an American Disney Channel Original movie released in the United Kingdom on September 1st 2008. The film was directed by Mathew Diamond and stars a few already 'well known' children's entertainers , including the American boyband The Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato. Running time of this movie is ninety four minutes (four minutes over one hour and a half). This movie is a U which means it can be seen by children of all ages! The film is about a girl called Mitchie who is a performer ; her dream is to become a professional. She has heard about a performing summer camp called 'Camp Rock' , and so really wants to spend...

Camp Rock: WE ROCK!

Advantages: A good kids film to watch! :)
Disadvantages: Very predictable

...Camp Rock was the 2008 Disney Channel Original Movie, and was shown on the Disney Channel in the Summer of last year, and its now a huge success. The show is about a young girl, Mitchie Torres. She has been fantasizing about going to Camp Rock, a music related Summer Camp all year, but her family can't afford the fee's and so she has to get used to the idea that its just not going to happen to her. Until her mum Connie (a caterer) gets hired as the chef and Mitchie gets into Camp Rock for a cut price. When Mitchie gets to camp she meets up with many people, and she finds out that Shane Gray (Joe Jonas, Jonas Brothers) is going to be a star guest at the camp. To fit in with the other girls at camp, especially Tesse Tyler whose mum is a famous singer, Mitchie makes up a superstar lifestyle for herself, and tells everyone her mum is...

Camp Bore

Advantages: Nice songs and mildly entertaining
Disadvantages: Awful acting and predictable plot

...I love musicals, but this is one that really failed to impress me. There was absolutely nothing even remotely interesting or entertaining about this film. Personally, I yawed my way through! Call me weird but I actually liked the High School Musical series and I thought that Camp Rock would be similar. Unfortunately, if you ask me, this film is quite a far cry from any other musical. In fact, this one was downright ridiculous to me that I would take High School Musical over it any day. The plot was extremely predictable- to the point that it ended up being quite boring. Plot: Mitchie is desperate to join Camp Rock, the one place where music lovers spend their summer at to work on their musical/dancing talents. When her mom is offered a job as a cook there, Mitchie is overjoyed to find out that she is able to go along. Camp Rock...

Rockin' Out Disney Style

Advantages: good acting, catchy songs, easy to watch
Disadvantages: -

...dreams come true. In this scenario, Mitchie?s mother happens to get a job offer to be the cook at Camp Rock, so she can attend the camp the only thing she has to do is help her mother out with cooking in between classes which isn?t really a lot to ask at all. This soon turns into a bit of a typical teen film; she befriends Caitlyn (Alyson Stoner) but also finds herself in an intimidating friendship with the token queen rich girl Tess Tyler (Meaghan Jette Martin) and her two sidekick friends Peggy and Ella. These girls also seem to be living under Tess?s intimidating personality having to do whatever Tess wants them to do. To fit in Mitchie has to lie about having money and her background in music so that she is not looked down upon by Tess and her gang because these children all come from wealthy walks of life and she does not want it getting...

Review of Camp Rock (DVD)

The campest and rockiest film out there!

Advantages: A clean cut film for the little 'uns.
Disadvantages: Mind numbing for the adults!

...Ok, so here I was thinking I had a few months reprieve before the mania descends that is known simply to use parents of young girls as "the third one". For anyone who has no idea of what I speak, I am of course referring to the third instalment of "High school musical 3", but no? the people at Disney have of course had other ideas. Not only do I now have to get into a fist fight with some woman in Woolworths on Christmas eve to procure the latest "must have" HSM product, I know have the film I will now reviews merchandise to locate, take out a loan to afford and finally fight for, all in the name of love! The film I will now review is "Camp Rock" This is the cheaper less well made version of HSM, starring the latest cheesy American boy band offering named "The Jonas Brothers". As with a lot of these films and programmes I am...

Nou Camp!

Advantages: great stadium, great team and an interseting tour - what more could you want!
Disadvantages: None

...Two years ago now I went on a school trip to Barcelona, surprisingly with my Spanish class and teachers. We were staying very near to Barcelona and made several day trips around the area visiting places such as the Guadi museum and the Sagrada Familia, but none of these compare to the surprise that was brought upon us. We were sudden;y one day, whilst on the coach told we were going to visit Nou Camp, the stadium of the world class team Barcelona. e were not only going to have a tour of the stadium, but also watching a live match against Osasuna. The great thing was I was from a boys school and everyone absolutely loved football! Here's a few facts about the stadium: Official Name: Nou Estadi del Futbol Club Barcelona Inauguration: 24 September 1956 First match: FC Barcelona-Warsaw selection 4-2 Renovations: 1980 & 1994...

Review of Nou Camp - Barcelona F.C.

Camp

Advantages: Good story line, realistic characters, excellent show scenes
Disadvantages: High school musical is of a higher standard and more viewable

...I found this a quite an enjoyable film. Its not to be taken too seriously, its along similar lines to Fame, however in an American camp for gifted singers, actors, etc. The singing I found was very good for the most part - my favorite parts being the shows the children performed in the film. The realistic sideline story is very good also showing you a bit of an insight of what it is like to attend one of these summer camps. The love story aspect was quite good from all angles showing the complexity of relationships between heterosexual and gay relationships both from a friendship and dating angle. This is a film I would recommend to others, however I do have to admit it isn't up to the same standard as the recent High School Musical films, but none the less worth a peek. Extras on the disc: Deleted scenes From auditions to...

Fancy A Tour Of The Camp

Advantages: Standing on the Pitch looking up into the stands. A great value tour
Disadvantages: Thats there was no game on the weekend we were there, although we did go and see Espanyol instead

...Well for the second of my Barcelona ops, it has to be the first thing we did on the Friday, a visit to the Nou Camp. The main reason for our trip was to see Barcelona play someone, however this wasn?t possible as they were away that weekend. So instead we did the next best thing, The Nou Camp Stadium tour and visit to the Barcelona FC Museum. Of course I?m sure it comes as no surprise that on our first full day, having got drunk the night before, we went to do something related to Football. Having decided that it wasn?t that far from our hotel to the ground we set of walking and half an hour later we were still walking. Thinking we were getting no where near despite having seen the ground 15 minutes previously, we turned down a road that looked quite posh and there right in front of us was the largest Football stadium in Europe...

Review of Nou Camp - Barcelona F.C.

The worst thing since High School Musical

Advantages: The only talent is Alyson Stoner
Disadvantages: The music, the acting, everything!

...QUICK NOTE - The review is based on the film, not the DVD and its features. ALSO may contain spoilers!! (: Camp Rock was released on the Disney Channel on Friday night - 19th September 2008. I knew that it would be as awful as the film series of High School Musical but I was bored so I decided that I would may as well watch the film on the Disney Channel. Here, I will include a source of information about the film from Wikipedia - The movie begins in the home of Connie (Maria Canals Barrera), Steve (Ed Jaunz) and Mitchie Torres (Demi Lovato), an aspiring young musician who is hoping to become a professional singer (Who Will I Be). Mitchie wants to attend the prestigious and expensive Camp Rock, but her parents can't afford the camp. Mitchie's mother decides to take her catering business to Camp Rock, and so Mitchie can go if she...

Review of Camp Rock (DVD)

Royalty of camp sites!

Advantages: Gorgeous place, quiet, clean and friendly.
Disadvantages: The walk to the toilet!

.... The woman working at the time was helpful and friendly. The site is in three sections, two of which are caravan pitches, the orchard and the oaks. Where we would be is the tent area known as the meadow. We drove down to what we had expected to be just a field but were pleased to find a lovely grass area surrounded by trees and plants next to a hill covered in sheep. There was a section in the centre of the main part of what essentially was a field, with more trees in for cover and four picnic benches dotted around. There were only three other tents pitched so we decided to go to an area which had no tents and have peace. We pitched our tent under a huge oak tree which we later found out is the oldest oak in the area. It was by an embankment going down to the canal. Those with young children would probably not want to camp near there though...
