“Teen Beach Movie” makes viewers Surf Crazy

TBM

Let me take you back to 2006. I was 9 years old and High School Musical had just premiered. It blew up at my school, my day care, everywhere. It was THE defining film of my age group at the time. If you didn’t know the songs, something was wrong. Then the sequel premiered the following year to even larger numbers, thus making the film even more loved by my fellow pupils. The third film was released into the theaters in 2008 solidifying its popularity. Don’t forget that the movies also spawned live stage productions, ice skating shows, theme park entertainment, a live tour, a reality TV show, and enough merchandise to make you puke.

After some not so successful DCOMs recently, Disney tried to bring back the HSM formula with “Teen Beach Movie,” which premiered this past Friday night. Two teens go surfing and end up being transported to a 1960’s “Frankie and Annette” -esque beach film. When they accidentally hook up with the two leads, they change the course of the movie and only have so much time to reverse the film.Read More »“Teen Beach Movie” makes viewers Surf Crazy

As promised here’s the brand new One Woman A Capella Disney Medley Part 2 from YouTube star, and 19 year old college student, Heather Traska. As you might suspect, from the preview photos above, it has a villainy flavor, but as sweet ending.

That was pretty amazing. I hope someone at Disney Channel is watching and is able to add Traska to their pool of upcoming talented artists. With just a little promotion, I know she’ll be big.Read More »Videopolis: Heather Traska Debuts New One Woman Disney Medley
