Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience Premiere!

The El Capitan Theatre!
So...I went to my first Hollywood movie premiere!!! Finally!!! It was a long day. Me and Ana Paula got to the El Capitan theatre on Hollywood Boulevard at about 11:30. And to our dissappointment, there were already a ton of fans there. But no worries, we found spots in front of the "Guest check in" sign. Which we later would find out was where the celebs would be dropped off. (Well some of them :( )

We then got to wait for 5.5 hours till celebs started to arrive. However, it was still pretty fun! We actually saw Justin Long driving in front of us, stopped at the stop light! He waved to us!!!

Then, the moment came. 5:00 came around. It was finally time for the celebs to start arriving. Most of them got dropped off at the purple carpet. So we didn't see any of the big artists. :( However, we got to see Allyson Stoner. I got her autograph! We also saw Megan from Camp Rock, Chelsea Staub, Honor Society, Jordan Pruitt, Jason Dolly, and Brenda Song (she was a late arrival).

Now, for the moment of truth. The Jonas Brothers arrived quite early. They drove past us. And Kevin rolled down the window and waved to us!!! I saw Nick next to him. But then they had moved on. They stopped at the purple carpet, and then Kevin stood up with the door open and waved to the fans!!! That was all we saw them. (Other than for two seconds when they stepped off the carpet for some reason. And we didn't know for sure if it was them) But that was the ONLY time I saw Joe, and I didn't even get to see his face! Just his back.. :( (But I'd know that hair anywhere!!!)

I know its hard to see, but Joe's there, and Kevin too (look for the hair)

Then that was it.

We were about to leave, but when we were leaving the new and undiscovered band Allstar was hanging out. We got to meet them, take some pics and get their autographs. That was cool! They were hott! Well Zach anyway...lol

Zach from Allstar!!! Hes hott!

So, although it turned out to be a disappointment, it was still fun. I'm here for 6 more months, so I'm sure they'll be other opportunites to meet them! At least I hope. Fingers crossed!!!

High School Musical 3: The Review

So, I know some of you read reviews on other blogs, but I want to start posting mine here. I really think I could be a critic, (even though I love most movies), I can talk about them as an artform and form of entertainment as well....So here's my HSM 3 ReviewFirst I must say that HSM 3 is probably not going to be a hit with one who is not a fan of the other movies. This being due in part because it follows the same pattern as the previous two movies do; the high school romance, the non realistic portrayal of the modern high school, and the big song and dance numbers. However, those who love film musicals will love this film I believe. It continues where the last film ended, with the East High Wildcat gangs' Senior year. It follows the activities and worries of the average high school senior, in a cheerful and lightweight manner. Now, those who have seen the prior two films will notice that the numbers are bigger and better and are not as few and far between in the third installment. It is obvious that this is a feature film vs. a television movie, in regards to this fact. The bigger dance and music numbers are likely due to the actors gain of experience, and no doubt to a larger budget. Any person would find themselves captivated by wanting to dance in their seats, and would be smiling through the entire film. Despite it's cheesy parts, and bad acting in moments (mostly due to Vanessa or lower cast members), it has an innocent and cheerful tone throughout the movie. Is it predictable? Yes, but the film and director Kenny Ortega, did a marvelous job at taking risks, and going from the small screens at home, to the large screens of the theaters. The crew also did well with catering to an adult audience who takes their young children to see the film. It resembles many other moments in musical film history, making it enjoyable to various ages; from young to old, and anything between. And unlike most threequels, this one is the best of the three movies, a perfect end to a much loved and popular series of films. :)

Twilight at Midnight

Yes, it's time for a Twilight blog, I know you're all sick of hearing about it, but I don't care. Yes, I'm proud to say that I'm a nerd. I saw it at midnight. Me and Tiff even made shirts, cause you can't go to a midnight showing without dressing up in some way. We arrived at Edwards at 3 p.m. to see many people already forming in the 14 lines that would be showing the movie later that night. We got very good spots in line. I'd say like 10-15 people in front of us. Then...we waited for 7 hours (we became friends with the girl next to us who had no one else with her). After the three of us split a pizza and my sister and Dillon brought us blankets, we waited till 10:00 when they let us in. Then two hours later, the movie finally started!! It was worth the wait.

So...here's my review...

I thought it was quite splendid. I was pleasently surprised. I mean I went in with low expectations, so I wouldn't be too disappointed when it lacked and strayed away from the book. Books, after all are always better then their respective movies. However...this movie stayed very true to the book, yes the plot had a few added moments, and a few scenes were changed slightly. But not many were. The dialogue held very true to the book in that much of the dialogue came directly from the book.

As for the movie itself, yes it had a low budget of $37 Million, so parts of it were kind of bad, obviously. Parts of it were cheesy...but I mean the books cheesy!!! So did you really expect the movie to not have cheesy moments. The acting was alright. The supporting characters known as Bellas friends, were quite terrible actors. However, I do believe that Edwards family was quite splendid. (Plus they were casted brilliantly.) Overall, I quite enjoyed the movie, it made me quite happy, and I mean it's cute, they could've developed the relationship of Bella and Edward more, but I mean they do have 3 movies left to do that!!! So I'll get over it.

P.S. It was better the second time I saw it! And for me that's important, because if a movie is worse the second time, than it can't be considered as good. I prefer second times, because the hype and anticipation is gone. And if a movie is better the second time, that means it's good because it can intrest you even though you've already seen it.

Twilight vs. Harry Potter?

Well obviously there is much hype about Twilight, and Harry Potter has had much of that as well in the past years. Well I must say they are both entirely wonderful in their individual ways and in similair ways!!! I am currently reading the last book in the Twilight series, and I must say I think that Breaking Dawn is quite wonderful. I know many people said they didn't like it, but I love it!!! I'm on team Edward for sure! But Twilight and Edward gives you false hopes for love because Edward is so perfect; but I'm willing to deal with that for the sake of the book. Hehe.

That said, Harry Potter is absolutely amazing as well, but there's some tragic news about the sixth movie! I'm sooo sad, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is now not coming out in theaters till...get this...July of 2009!!!! It was supposed to come out in November! AHHH Now Twilight coming out is even more great!!! Because that, I could not stand! ahh!

Three Words....

HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3!!!!


Yep, not only do I LOVE the Jonas Brothers (especially Joe); but I love HSM!!! it's amazing. It may be cheezy but I mean most musicals are. How often do you get to randomly burst into song and dance? So, yes...it's true...I love these movies. The first two are great but I'm still so excited for the new one that hits THEATERS in October! seriously can't wait! It's gonna be great! Here's a sneak peak!! AHHH

Twilight and Eagle Eye, and a little Shia...

So, I know what all you are thinking, Katie has another blog? Well, it's mainly because, I want to use my other blog strictly for my design stuff, you know a portfolio. So, hence I thought I should create another blog for all my other crap/nonsense...or perhaps treasures? I guess it's all in the perspective that you see it in. What I consider nonsense, or what I may even consider treasures may be taken completely different to any of you....so...Enjoy, or perhaps leave, if it doesn't interest you. Either way, enjoy...lol.

The first thing I want to post is two movie trailers of movies I cannot wait to see...like you have no idea, I'm so excited. And just fyi, if shia's in it, I'll probably post it on here, because I love his movies, and yea he's awesome. So enjoy!!!
