Fame



Remember my name, Fame! School is back with a crop of new students, more talented than ever before. We are now following a group of inspiring N.Y.C talented students attending the New York City H.S for the performing Arts, training these students in perfecting their specialty in music, dancing and singing, in order to become successfully performers. Wondering, if the movie was going to live-up to the expectation of the original movie version from back in 1980, and to my surprise it does. Gambling on complete unknown students not for long with big talents, but having the teachers who are all well known to everyone? Debbie Allen (plays principal Simms), Kelsey Grammer (plays Joel Cranston music teacher), Megan Mullally (plays Fran Rowans singing teacher), Bebe Neuwirth (plays Lynn Kraft dance teacher) and Charles S. Dutton (plays Alvin Dowd drama teacher) with a cast set like this, you don't need well known students.

Well-written storyline, written by Allison Burnett and Christopher Gore and the Directed by Kevin Trancharoen, you leave the theater dancing in the aisle.

I give this movie 4 1/2 Stars.

Pandorum



Two-crew member of the Elysium ship, awaken from a hyper-sleep to realize that they are alone at first, but slowly hearing low sounds coming from the bottom of the ship. They can't remember anything; who they are and what's their mission? Lt. Payton (Dennis Quaid) decided to stay behind and guide Cpl. Bower (Ben Foster) by a transmitting radio in order to reach the transformer station to turn the power back on. Throughout his ordeal, Bower comes across other survival on the ship. A shocking deadly secret are begin to reveals itself, more dangerous than anyone could imagined. Mutants creatures are on board the ship and trying to kill them.

Straight to the point, this movie is a cheap duplication of the "Alien" sequels movies, without originality, this movie make a great video game and that is all.

I give this movie 1 1/2 Stars.
