Author Topic: High School Musical III (2008) Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 10-24-2008 05:46 AM                     Oh boy, this movie is going to do hella business. Why? Because its got Zac Efron singing and dancing in a teeny-bopper musical, that's why. Is it me or was Vanessa Hudgens actually NOT in this movie and instead was being played by someone wearing a Vanessa Hudgens mask shaped with that silly "oh look at how cute and blushy I am" grin she does? Wow that girl cannot act. Then again, all of the performances were pretty bad (as expected) and the movie was overall silly-dumb (as expected), and the movie is very lame (as expected), so who cares? 1.5 out of 5 (This had to be better than Saw 5, or whatever number they are on. It just HAD to be!)

That picture of Vanessa looks to be many years old. She looks 12 in that picture. Also, I never even knew there was a High School Musical 1 and 2. Where they DVD-only releases or something? At least this is their senior year, hopefully they won't flunk and have to repeat it. Musicals are illegal at most colleges.  |  IP: Logged Jim Cassedy Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1661 From: San Francisco, CA Registered: Dec 2006 posted 10-24-2008 10:09 AM                     As of 10pm PDT last nite we'd already almost sold out our first show for today. (Fri) I have feeling this is going to be a "one weekend wonder", at least in my neighborhood. We'll do "Boffo Biz" (as VARIETY would say) and after that business will probably drop like a rock here, based on past experience with this type of movie at this location.  |  IP: Logged Michael Barry Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 584 From: Sydney, NSW, Australia Registered: Nov 1999 posted 10-24-2008 11:01 AM                     quote: Joe Redifer Also, I never even knew there was a High School Musical 1 and 2. Where they DVD-only releases or something? You got it! They were both Disney Channel type movies. The first one was a HUGE seller on DVD, and the CD soundtrack went nuts, too. I didn't track the second one as closely, but the first movie was an absolute phenomenon. For the third time around, I guess Disney thought they'd go for a theatrical release. Blu Ray releases of the first two are coming soon. Be sure and pick them up on Blu Ray. You know you want to.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 10-24-2008 11:52 AM                     quote: Joe Redifer That picture of Vanessa looks to be many years old. She still looks the same, including that grin. Stephen, this is Zac Efron. Zac must've knocked Vanessa up. Vanessa had some obvious belly action going during half of this movie.  |  IP: Logged Jennifer Pan THE JEN!

His hairdo makes me think that he enjoys cutting himself (re: he's emo).  |  IP: Logged Louis Belloisy Expert Film Handler Posts: 120 From: morris, ct usa Registered: Jun 2006 posted 10-26-2008 11:36 AM                        Phil, there is a little photoshopping going on his eyes in the first photo. Movie dumb, yes, lame, yes H-O-W-E-V-E-R, its making us lots of money. just like the good old days. i have a feeling though, it will have shot its load this weekend. louis  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 10-26-2008 02:17 PM                     Oh wow, the awesomeness of Disney never stops.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-26-2008 10:02 PM                     JUst to add to Brad's "Awsomness" factor tthe high school these POS movies are filmed at is just a couple of miles from our shop. Even the kids that are attending the High School there are sick and tired of this... to the point that several of them have written editorials to the Salt Lake papers about how it disrupts normal goings on in the school. What an absolute waste of film... er I mean hard drives!

It wasn't aimed at projection booth dudes (and dudettes) like all of us. As noted above, a one-weekend film, but I'd rather be playing this than that SAW 5 thing. I won't be watching it (my wife said it was OK but I probably wouldn't like it and she didn't want to watch it again) so my rating is based on hearing the music thru the office door: 3 out of 5* *Rating subject to change as I get sick of the songs.  |  IP: Logged James Westbrook Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1133 From: Lubbock, Texas, Usa Registered: Mar 2006 posted 10-27-2008 02:29 AM                     Maybe Zac is just partial to his left breast...  |  IP: Logged
