Advantages: Teens will like it! Disadvantages: Does'nt Feature much of the Jonas Bros!
Being a High School Musical fan , when I heard that there was a new 'music' film out , I just had to see what Disney had come up with and whether it was live up to the success of High School Musical.
Camp Rock is an American Disney Channel Original movie released in the United Kingdom on September 1st 2008. The film was directed by Mathew Diamond and stars a few already 'well known' children's entertainers , including the American boyband The Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato. Running time of this movie is ninety four minutes (four minutes over one hour and a half). This movie is a U which means it can be seen by children of all ages!
The film is about a girl called Mitchie who is a performer ; her dream is to become a professional. She has heard about a performing summer camp called 'Camp Rock' , and so really wants to spend ...
Advantages: Cheap Thermarest Mat, Very Comfortable Disadvantages: Size
Thermarest mats have been at the top of any kit list for keen campers such as myself. I spent about 5 years sleeping on those terrible closed cell foam mats. It was during a 5 day long expedition that i woke up with a bad neck and said "Im getting a thermarest."
I searched the market for a thermarest pad that suited my needs. The first mat i purchased was my Luxury Edition Camprest mat which was about £100. This is a great mat, and when ever there is a car available to be my porter i will pack this. I then purchased a Perforance Series Ultralight mat. This is used when im climbing high in the mountains where a massive mat lashed to the side of your bag just doesent help your performance. Finally i decided to try one of the discovery series mats, mats that i had outcast earlier.
To my amazement i was introduced to a mat that could ...
Advantages: Good story line, realistic characters, excellent show scenes Disadvantages: High school musical is of a higher standard and more viewable
I found this a quite an enjoyable film. Its not to be taken too seriously, its along similar lines to Fame, however in an American camp for gifted singers, actors, etc. The singing I found was very good for the most part - my favorite parts being the shows the children performed in the film. The realistic sideline story is very good also showing you a bit of an insight of what it is like to attend one of these summer camps. The love story aspect was quite good from all angles showing the complexity of relationships between heterosexual and gay relationships both from a friendship and dating angle.
This is a film I would recommend to others, however I do have to admit it isn't up to the same standard as the recent High School Musical films, but none the less worth a peek.
