Glee the 3D Concert Movie

by Sam P. August 23rd, 2011 | Movie Reviews, TV-based Movies
I, as an enormous Glee fan, loved it!  I thought it was a perfect match of the music and the characters talking to you. I really liked how they concentrated on the music, because that is what Glee is really about.  Everybody was  there, Rachael, Finn, Puck, Mercedes, Sam, Brittany, Quinn, Blaine, The Warblers, Lauren (Zizes), Santana, Mike, Artie, Tina, and Miss Holly Holiday.  The only one who wasn't there was Mr. Schuester, which I did not like as much because he is their teacher and in theory he should have been there with them.

Unlike most children’s shows, which are episodic, Avatar is one three-season long story told in sixty-one episodes. The success of A:TLA surely must be at least partially attributed to the show’s appeal to both kids and parents. A:TLA was one of those rare shows that the family could sit down and

I’d Love to Believe Again

by J Frazzetta June 24th, 2008 | TV-based Movies

When I was in 5th grade there was this awesome show on the Fox 25 network. Every Friday, my family and I would be glued to the television to see where this show would take us each week.
