John Tucker MUST Die!!
Thank God that "Dirty Little Secret" by the American Rejects was in this soundtrack. Very saitsfied! Not only does it have the Amercian Regects, it also has some really cool songs on it. The soundtrack have some cool rock songs, and some cool romantic songs (towards the last tracks of the soundtrack). Excited about how the movie is going to turn out based on this soundtrack, but by listening to the music, I know it's going to be hilarious and good. I wish that the other song that was in the trailer "Don't cha" performed by the Pussycat Dolls was in it.

Under the Tuscan Sun
4 of 5 found this helpful Being one of my favorite movies, I watched it on channel 36/ Family and I really enjoyed it. My mother and I watched it and she liked it too, her not really liking these kind of movies often. The movie gave me that warm feeling inside, for Diane Lane portrayed her role as Frances Mayes, a woman that wants romance after a divorce. The cover of the movie tells all, Frances standing by a window that overlooks some of Tuscany, a village in Italy. The movie is pretty simular to the book, but I liked the book more than the movie, most of the time I like the books that the movies is based on more than the movie.
Frances Mayes is a writer that lives in San Francisco. Living happily, she then gets a divorce. She is forced to move out and then moves into an apartment filled with depressed people who also had a divorce.
Then something good happens, her friend Patti (portrayed by Sadra Oh. I just love that name) becomes pregnant, she gives her ticket to Frances called "Gay and Away" in Tuscany.
Going to Tuscany, she decides to live there and she buys a huge villa, hiring a group of men to help her fix it up a bit. The villa, Franches finds out, is pretty special to some people. Like, everyday an old man brings a couple of flowers and puts them in a container of some sort in front of the house on a ledge.
Desperate for romance, she meets a guy named Marchello, on accident. Thinking they had an affair because she had sex with him, she finds out he has a girlfriend.
An adventure of romance takes off when a lot of things start to happen to Franches, involving a wedding, a new love, and much more. The story is genius and this movie is not to be missed. The acting was suberb as it shows that Diane can portray a happy character, but then go to a really sad character. The cover is my favorite part, even though it's just something to look at. The cover gives the watcher a mood of "I want to watch this" because it just looks so beautiful. The saying "Don't judge a book by its cover" does not go along with this movie, because the movie lives up to the cover. This is extremley recommended!
Hope you enjoy!

The High School Musical in a book...
2 of 2 found this helpful Being a "HIT" on The Disney Channel, High School Musical made its way onto DVD and now has been made into a movie novelization! Being a fan of The High School Musical and movie novelizations, it occured to me that I just had to pick this one up and read it. I read it and it only took me about two hours to, and I enjoyed that two hours that day.
Just like the movie, N.B. Grace adapted it "Perfectly". The book has the charm of the movie and has mostly every detail that was in the movie and in the pages of this movie novel. A quick read, you practically have the movie in your hands, but is cheaper. The movie novel is quite fun to read, and is quite fun looking through the movie stills that are in the book. A nice, quick read, this movie novelization gets straight into the "point" of the book and dosen't bother going-on-and-on in details, but rather lets you enjoy the book and understand it without the long details.
If you're a "Fan" of Zac Efron of you just "Love" High School Musical, this is the book for you, for it's practically the movie but only has pages!
Hope you enjoy!
