I don’t know why, but So You Think You Can Dance ruined Adam Shankman for me. So when I heard the trailer for Step Up 3D was out, I wanted to hate it because I can’t stand him and yet I couldn’t. I was surprised by how good the movie and the moves look. Although it doesn’t look good enough for me to spend money on it when it comes out on August 6th, but I will see it when it is on cable for free.
Personally I don’t think it needs to be in 3D but I can see in that trailer how they are going to make it work.
Before Fred Weller was a Marshall playing a US Marshall protecting people in witness protecting, he was protecting gay rights in Stonewall. Who knew the 28 year old had such a great singing voice in that 1995 movie!
Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel is out on 2-Disc DVD and Blu-Ray now and it a must have! When I heard about the first movie, I thought OMG this is going to be stupid. Then one day I decided to watch it and I was shocked by how good it was. So when I heard they were doing a Squeakquel I couldn’t wait to see it and I actually liked it more than the first one.
In Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel the Chipmunks go to school and get some competition with all-girl singing group of Chipmunks called the Chipettes. When Dave is injured because of Alvin and confined to a hospital bed, the boys need be taken care of by the irresponsible but awwwdorable Zachary Levi. Toby (Zachary) takes the boys to their first day of school and things are not going too smoothly for them at first. While the boys are at school, the Chipettes meet the Chipmunks evil ex-agent Ian who uses them to get back into the business. The principal asks the boys to sing in a competition to save the school’s music program, and they agree to do it. When Ian reads about this he enrolls the Chipettes in the school and gets them to compete against the Chipmunks. Who will win the competition? Will the Chipettes realize that Ian is bad? How many times will Dave scream Allllllllvvvvvviin? Will Toby be handle the boys? Will the Chipmunks and the Chipettes hook up? All of this will be answered, plus there are a lot of great song numbers that will have you singing along in this enjoyable movie! Even my cat couldn’t stop watching this movie!!!

I had as much fun watching the special features as much as the movie itself. In the Munk Music Machine you get to watch just the music numbers from the movies and you can’t get enough of the Chipettes singing Single Ladies so why not watch it over and over. In the Music Mania Featurette you get to see how they put the final part of the movie together. In Munking History you get to know the 50 year history of the Chimunks like how they came about and how they have changed throughout the years. In Meet the Chipettes we learn their history and how the Chipmmunks were originally dressed in drag until the girls finally became their own characters. I never knew that factoid before that special feature. In Chipmunks:Behind the Squeaking the actors talks about their experience working with the Chipmunks and which actor never got to meet them and which one dated Alvin? You also get to see how the voice actors create the voices for their characters, you will be as shocked as they were how that happens. You also see how they have to prepare the scenes with the Stuffies. And you will see the oh-so-cute Stuffies in action as body doubles for the Cipmunks. I want a Stuffy of my very own! In A-NUT-omy of a Scene you see how they put it all together. And finally in Shake Your Groove Thing! With Rosero you learn the final dance number they do in the movie and get a huge a$$ workout while you have a blast learning the moves. SYTYCD here I come!!! Seriously the special features for this 2-Disc DVD are some of the best I have seen in a really long time, so pick up Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel today because this is a DVD/Blu-Ray you will be enjoying for years to come!
Kal Penn left House for the White House and now he is leaving the White House to return to the White Castle. According to Deadline Hollywood he agreed to be an associate director of the White House Office Of Public Engagement for a year and his time up next month. So now that he has some free time on his hands, he will return to acting this summer and film the third Harold and Kumar. Like many third installments of franchised movies, DH is reporting that this Harold and Kumar will be shot in 3D. The latest sequel to the hilarious first movie will be a holiday themed and let’s just hope and pray it is as hysterical as the first movie and not as sh!tty as the second one. Seriously didn’t Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay suck balls?
BTW too bad they killed him off of House because maybe he could have also returned to the Fox show. Oh wait the dead have come back on that show, so maybe there is hope he can return to House?
