'Hannah Montana: The Movie' Prequel is a Definite Possibility!




Many of you watched Hannah Montana: The Movie on Disney Channel last night, and Billy Ray Cyrus noticed! Apparently, there's even a prequel in the works! Here's what Billy tweeted this morning:

Sounds like a lot of you watched the H M movie tonight ! Thank you. Had a talk today about a prequel. Judging by your tweets maybe I should?

What do you think? Would you watch a Hannah Montana prequel? The better question is, would Miley Cyrus even agree to do one? Sound off in the comments!

Selena Gomez is a Rumored 'Hot Mess'!


Hit teen superstar from Wizards of Waverly Place fame, Selena Gomez, is currently rumored to be starring as one of four leading ladies in a new movie titled Hot Mess. The film would focus on Selena and three other girls who are trying as hard as they can to not become the hot messes that they are almost guaranteed to be. Selena has been saying that she would like to get away from her all-Disney-all-the-time image, and this would be a great way of doing it. Certainly a different path than Miley Cyrus took about two years ago.

Also, are we the only ones who think that this would be a great movie for Selena and Demi Lovato to come back together again in? They already starred alongside each other in Princess Protection Program and did great! The movie would also most likely get a late 2012 release, would you go see it?

All New 'Tangled' Movie Sequel!


For anyone who saw Tangled, this probably comes as quite a happy announcement! As it was one of last year's highest-grossing animated films, Disney has green lit a "straight-to-Disney Channel" sequel, titled Tangled Ever After! All that is currently known about the plot is that the film will focus on Rapunzel and Flynn getting married. It has not been announced whether Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi will return to voice the two main characters.

This looks exciting! The movie debuts in spring of next year, will you be watching?

'Cars 2' Review from Star Movie Ratings

Picture from Collider.com

From now on, all of our movie ratings will be taken from our new partner site, Star Movie Ratings. Here's their review for Disney Pixar's latest flick, Cars 2:







"For our first review, we'll be discussing the highs and lows of Pixar's latest family hit, Cars 2. Though it is a sequel to the original Cars (2006),  it feels like a whole different series... in a good way. We'll break the movie down into different parts and rate them accordingly. And of course, spoiler warning.


Radiator Springs


While almost the entire first film was set in this small, all-American town, only about ten minutes of the movie are spent here this time around. It is shown at almost the very beginning and at the very end. At the beginning, it felt rushed with Mater doing about five things that him and Lightning used to enjoy, yet where it happened across an hour and forty-five minutes last time, this time it's condensed into about thirty seconds. The only part I enjoyed from that was the few minutes focusing on Mater posing as a waiter to be able to go on Lightning and Sally's date.


The end part I found unnecessary, but I figured they would show it. The quality of it felt like one of the many "CarsToons" that they have been showing on the Disney Channel, which look great, but have pretty bad plots.


Grade: C- / 75


World Grand Prix


We had only seen a little bit of all the flashy things that the Pixar makers can create in the first film, where as here, it's right in your face. As soon as Mater and Lightning cruise on into the World Grand Prix launch party, your mesmerized with deep purples, blues, greens, yellows, reds, and every other bright color you can imagine. And it looks awesome. While I know that this has no relation to the plot or review of the movie, I find it amazing that if I had just been shown that scene, I might not have been able to tell you if the movie I was watching was animated or not.


The actual racing scenes I didn't like, mainly because of the horrible attempt and showing time passing, where as in the first one, they did a great job with that in the races. The overall racing time in this movie was about ten minutes, and it felt like five. I did like the Italian racer, and especially Jeff Gorvette, as I am a huge Jeff Gordon fan. Other than that, the Grand Prix was only okay for me.


Grade: B- / 84


Mater's Spy Adventure


Here's a hint: there's no way that Lightning McQueen should be on the front of the poster. Mater was easily shown twice as much as Lightning in this movie, which is what I think made people review it badly. However, that's what made the movie for me. Mater went along with his shenanigans, (according to Holly Shiftwell, Finn McMissile's partner, he acts "extremely American") and of course got into trouble in the restroom of all places where he ended up getting himself and unwanted car wash and had a tracking device snapped onto him by an American spy. He is then assumed to be the American spy, and hilarity ensues as he attempts to all the things a spy would do, but with his signature Tow Mater flare.


In the end, Holly ends up being his girlfriend, which I thought was good as poor Mater misunderstood her telling him that they'll "rendezvous tomorrow night", taking it as her asking him out on a date. He is of course asked to be a full-time spy by Holly and Finn, but turns it down saying that he belongs in Radiator Springs. I believe that it was the safe way to go, and they really missed the opportunity to do a Cars spin-off, and of course to break the mold of kids' movies of "Thanks for the totally amazing opportunity to do something that I could never even dream of much less get to participate in my whole life, instead I'll stay in my hometown that has a population of 600 people." or in this case, cars.


Grade: A- / 93


Overall Rating: B- / 84

Overall, it was one of the best kids movies in a long time, and I enjoyed it much more than the original. To help you imagine that, I would rank Cars 2 one slot ahead of Wall-E, but behind Finding Nemo and Up. In relation, the original Cars would be ahead of Ratatouille, but still behind Monsters, Inc. and The Incredibles. Just for the record, my least favorites areToy Story and A Bug's Life, and my favorite would have to be Up. I know that's different than most people's opinions, but I generally have different tastes from others.
