High school basketball superstar Try Bolton (Zac Efron) has to decide what he wants to do with his life when he graduates. His father wants him to follow his basketball talent, but Julliard comes to scout his drama talents. His girlfriend, Gabriella Montez (Vanessa Hudgens) has been accepted to Stanford University in California. His girlfriend encourages him to join the school play. Also in the play is diva Sharpay Evans (Ashley Tisdale), her choreographer brother Ryan Evans (Lucas Grabeel), basketball buddy Chad Daforth (Corbin Bleu), and talented composer Kelsi Nielsen (Oleysa Rulin). The quirky drama teacher Ms. Darbus (Alyson Reed) leads the group through their most important play.

The dancing in High School Musical 3: Senior Year is appropriate for the age of its target audience. With the exception of a couple of scenes there are no raunchy moves. More important than the age appropriate dancing is the accessibility offered by HSM3-SR [...]]]> http://geeksofdoom.com/2008/10/26/movie-review-high-school-musical-3-senior-year/feed/ 1 http://geeksofdoom.com/2008/10/10/movie-review-body-of-lies/ http://geeksofdoom.com/2008/10/10/movie-review-body-of-lies/#comments Fri, 10 Oct 2008 04:59:41 +0000 LaRae Alon AbutbulBody of LiesLeonardo DiCaprioMark StrongRidley ScottRussell Crowe http://geeksofdoom.com/?p=5431 Body of Lies. Smart but spent, Body of Lies is an American stereotype done up nice.

Roger Ferris (Leonardo DiCaprio), a CIA agent in Iraq, is reassigned to Jordan to find Al-Saleem (Alon Abutbul), a terrorist threatening to commit attacks all over Europe. Contrary to and against the warning of his successors, Ferris decides to include the Head of Jordanian General Intelligence Department, the well dressed and brilliant Hani Salaam (Mark Strong) in the planning to catch this terrorist. Overweight and callous CIA boss Ed Hoffman (Russell Crowe), lives in Washington DC and manages Ferris. It is obvious that Hoffman has left a trail of burned relationships in his wake.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe give equally convincing performances. DiCaprio puts his angry face on as he runs around, refreshingly innocent and naive for a spy. Crowe taps into a smarmy quality in a deep, cold sense. Even though both Crowe and DiCaprio are fun to watch, Body of Lies belongs to Mark Strong [...]]]> http://geeksofdoom.com/2008/10/10/movie-review-body-of-lies/feed/ 0 http://geeksofdoom.com/2008/09/26/movie-review-eagle-eye/ http://geeksofdoom.com/2008/09/26/movie-review-eagle-eye/#comments Fri, 26 Sep 2008 14:34:48 +0000 LaRae Billy Bob ThorntonD.J. CarusoEagle EyeMichelle MonaghanRosario DawsonShia LaBeouf http://geeksofdoom.com/?p=4806 Eagle Eye. A true escapist movie, Eagle Eye is explosive fun, as long as you don’t think too much and you don’t mind commercials.

Jerry Shaw (Shia LaBeouf), an underachieving slacker, is blackmailed into a criminal situation, directed only by a woman over the phone that seems able to access all the electronics connected by some kind of network. Rachel Hollowman (Michelle Monaghan) is driven into the same situation with Jerry when her son is threatened. FBI Agent Thomas Morgan (Billy Bob Thorton) and Air Force Investigator Zoe Perez (Rosario Dawson) are assigned to investigate Shaw, and, as a consequence, Rachael. They all are led by the seat of their pants on the path the woman on the phone decides [...]]]> http://geeksofdoom.com/2008/09/26/movie-review-eagle-eye/feed/ 1
