step up 2

Advantages: great dancing
Disadvantages: channing tatum only a short appearance

...Being a fan of all dancing films from Dirty Dancing to save the last dance to Step Up I love them all so this was a must see for me and I was not disappointed with the sequel. With Channing Tatum also reappearing what more could you ask for in a film. Andie played by Briana Evigan is a teen who grew up dancing and is now part of the hottest dance crew in the city and champions of the Streets which is an underground dance competition. Andie is on a downward slope after her mother's death, she's skipping school, staying out late and when a subway prank ends up on the evening news, this results is an ultimatum for Andie to move to her aunt's place in Texas or join MSA. Andie is kicked out of the crew and starts her own crew with Chase Collins played by Robert Hoffman and they take it all the way to the Streets. Channing Tatum...

Review of Step Up 2 The Streets (DVD)

Step Down - Please!

Advantages: Some decent dancing.
Disadvantages: Hackneyed writing, wooden performances and flaccid direction.

...overshadowed by the hip-hop, rap and R 'n' B soundtrack choices that crowd the production. None of it is very innovative so it often feels like a compilation album for newcomers to the genres. "Step Up 2 The Streets" is a by-the-numbers dance movie that is so bland it will fail to engage even the hardiest fans of the sub-genre. The direction is lacklustre and the writing pitiful. The cast is rammed with wooden performances and even the dance sequences fail as many times as they succeed. The target audience of young teens will no doubt lap up the routines and the hooker fashion favoured by the characters. But for anyone that values a story, there's nothing here other than a desire to rip out your own eyes to be saved the agony of the final rain-soaked kiss....

Review of Step Up 2 The Streets (DVD)

Step up 2 the streets soundtrack

Advantages: Great mix
Disadvantages: Some of the best songs are missing

...The album debuted at #13 in America on the Billboard 200 but got to its highest position of #5 just 2 weeks later. It also reached #3 on the Australian charts. Soundtrack to an awsome movie...but i had to rewatch the film to figure out where some of the songs were from and was dissapointed when some songs werent featured on the album....mostly the mixed song from the end dance scene. For anyone that loves this movie, the sountrack is a must because, lets be honest, sountracks to movies like this are what makes them. Could you really imagine a film like this full of ballads? Just wouldnt be the same would it? This album is a must for anyone who is into commercial RnB but i dont think it will appeal to many other people. There weren't many songs on here that i didnt like, which rarely happens when i buy a CD, especially...

Review of Step Up 2 The Streets - Various Artists

The splendid Step-2

Advantages: Unlike any other 'toner' you've tried before
Disadvantages: Expensive for a 'toner', but still worth it

...How come I'm the first person to review this? I'm really surprised I must admit, considering the cult status of Clinique's glorious 'Clarifying Lotion'. Everyone's skin is different obviously and what works for one person might not work for another, but I consider myself to have reasonably average skin; not the clearest, with the odd spot when I don't take off my makeup properly, more a case of 'could do better'. This product has honestly made my skin look better than it has in ages! Don't be fooled by those who describe it as a toner; true enough, the application and sensation of the lotion is quite similar; its placing in the 3-step system is right there inbetween the cleanser and moisturiser just like a toner normally is; heck, even the bottle looks toner-esque. However, it is actually classed as an exfoliating liquid, and when you...

Review of Step Brothers

Step Brothers

Advantages: Over fairly quickly
Disadvantages: Just not very good...

...***Film Only Review*** Last night I sat down to watch Step Brothers after being told by a friend, who has a similar sense of humour to me, that it was pretty funny and worth a watch. Story ------- Brennan (Will Ferrell) and Dale (John C Reilly) are two 40 year old who still live at home with their parents. Dale's dad and Dale have been living together Dales' whole life, Dale doesn't work and loves the lifestyle of being able to do what he wants when he wants, especially jamming on his drum kit. Brennan is a slightly more sensitive character having been raised by his mother his whole life and likes still being looked after even though he is middle aged. When Dale and Brennan's parents hook up and get married, both of the boys (I say boys, meaning men!) have to learn to share and get along as step brothers. Initially...

Review of Step Brothers

A step in the right direction

Advantages: Well written and engaging with excellent characterisation and a good plot
Disadvantages: Over too quickly! Abrupt ending which is not altogether satisfying

...?s adventures as he attempts to take on his councillors advice when leaving Camp Green Lake, who told him that life was like walking upstream in a rushing river that that he should try to take ?small steps? to avoid being swept over and to achieve his goals. Armpit takes this advice to heart and comes up with the following small steps: . 1. Graduate High School 2. Get a job 3. Save his money 4. Avoid situations which might turn violent. And? 5. Loose the name ?Armpit? . These might sound like fairly simple and straight forward goals, but between his old Green Lake companion ?X-ray? with his ticket-touting, get-rich-quick schemes, his 10 year old disabled neighbour Ginny and the mysterious yet alluring rising pop star Kaira DeLeon all vying for his attention, Armpit?s goals soon prove to be a lot more difficult to achieve than they first appeared...

Review of Small Steps - Louis Sachar

Fizzytom's Odesa File: The Potemkin Steps

Advantages: Free, easy to access, fairly interesting
Disadvantages: Hustlers and hawkers, it's just some steps when all is said and done

...Who would have thought that a simple flight of steps could be so interesting? The steps I am talking about are the Potemkin Steps in the Ukrainian city of Odesa, opened in 1841. Curiously, for a city that is home to lots of attractive buildings, it is this set of stone stairs that visitors flock to see. Allow me to explain? The steps were not made famous by the 1905 uprising of sailors on the Russian battleship Potemkin, but by Sergei Eisenstein?s film account of the event which was made in 1925 and is today regarded as a cinematographic classic. The uprising was fairly significant at the time but not widely known of until the film was made. (Incidentally Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe ? aka the Pet Shop Boys - recorded a new soundtrack to the movie a couple of years back which they played live against the backdrop of the film in...
