HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3



Troy (Zac Efron) leads East High School's basketball team to a championship victory, as he and his teammates sing, dance and shoot hoops.

But it's a bittersweet time.

High school days are coming to a close and college is looming. But first, of course, the kids have to put on a show! The drama teacher (Alyson Reed) has invited recruiters from Juilliard, who will attend the senior musical and award one scholarship.

The ever-scheming Sharpay (Ashley Tisdale) is hoping for the starring role, as well as a place at Juilliard. Also vying for the single spot is her more talented and likable twin brother, Ryan (Lucas Grabeel). A forced conflict is cooked up involving Troy and his brainy beloved, Gabriella (Vanessa Hudgens).

Lest it seem the franchise might come to an end, rest assured that younger students are being groomed to take over for their senior counterparts. English transfer student Tiara (Jemma McKenzie-Brown) will probably assume the attention-seeking Sharpay mantle, and a pair of goofy new basketball players will presumably try to fill the shoes of upcoming graduates Troy and Chad (Corbin Bleu).

This threequel is a major showcase for the charisma and talent of heartthrob Efron. The movie's highlight is The Boys Are Back, a rousing number that features Efron and Bleu and some great choreography in a junkyard full of inventive props.

Director Kenny Ortega (Newsies) gets props for ensuring a place for musical theater in the hearts of a new generation.

And with the latest plethora of gross-out bathroom humor in movies aimed at a young audience, High School Musical 3 really does emerge like a breath of fresh air. Even if the refreshing gust doesn't stay with you long, it's fun while it lasts.

Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol

Anyone who has already watched Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol would have notice that Mission Impossible 4 is a little bit different from the previous three Mission Impossible(s). I am not sure why there are many critics on Tom Cruise acting, but to me, he is ok. I mean, I know a lot of times, they are saying that Mission Impossible is like talking about himself, but I really beg to differ. Mission Impossible is not really about Tom Cruise alone, I mean he is the leader, he do most of the dangerous work, but behind him is a group of capable secret agents who can support him in all the missions. Anyway, back to Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol. The story started with a chase on a roof in one of a building in Budapest and the agent look so cool when he jumped down and look upwards to shoot the chasers.....but however, was later assassinated by a female assassin. Then we have Ethan Hunt break a prison from Russia with the help of IMF agents and proceed to accept a mission to infi...

Zirkzee's Late Heroics Ignite Manchester United's Premier League Campaign with Victory Over Fulham

Manchester United got their Premier League campaign off to a promising start with a dramatic late 1-0 victory over Fulham, thanks to debutant Joshua Zirkzee’s 87th-minute goal. The £36.5 million summer signing from Bologna stepped off the bench to deliver a moment of magic, securing three crucial points for Erik ten Hag’s side in front of a jubilant Old Trafford crowd. The relief was evident as Ten Hag celebrated the winner with both fists clenched, knowing how much the result meant after a challenging preseason. United struggled to convert their chances for most of the match, with Bruno Fernandes deployed as a false nine. Despite the pressure, it was Zirkzee who emerged as the hero, providing a much-needed spark and focal point in attack when introduced in the 61st minute. Ten Hag was quick to praise his new striker, saying, "It’s important for a striker to get off the mark quickly, and Zirkzee did exactly that. The win is satisfying, especially at the start of the season. We’re ...
