'Pop Punk High'
Robert Massimi. Pop Punk High is a fun musical at La Poisson Rouge in the West Village. The show is based on a school where music and skate boarding is king. The shows nexus is a geek who wants to date the hot chick named Amanda Bunkface (Jess Kaliban), who barely knows his name until a dead Avril Lavigne (Kelly Krauter), grants him three wishes. Skeet (Patrick Sweeney) becomes a different person. He beats his arch rival Derek in skate boarding, music, you name it. He is changing by the second and he has no time for loyal Tib, who stood by him no matter how desperate his situation became. Pop Punk High is an R Rated School of Rock, it's up there with Fast Times at Ridgemont High. What Pop Punk adds is a lot of music, good songs sung by a young talented cast. We see humor in this musical, especially by Skeet and his parents. His dad (Eric Wiegand) was a tremendous dancer and shed humor on this already raucous show. Mom (Mclean Peterson) was equally wonderful in her role, her comedic timing was flawless.

What Makes a Cult Film?
Lately, the term “cult film” has become difficult to define. In the past, an active fan base of self-identified outsiders was the defining trait of a cult film. But since the rise of Comic-Con, fan culture has become less stigmatized and entered the mainstream. Big budget commercial films are released with their own massive “cult-like” followings. So, if legions of devoted fans don’t give a film cult status, what does? A key difference is that these mainstream followings are cultivated and engineered by armies of publicists and marketing gurus. In contrast, the fringe fan bases crop up organically.

What About Tempest's Horn?
There are four types of ponies in Equestria: the earth ponies, the unicorns, the pegasi, and the alicorn. You can tell which pony is which just by looking at them. But what about Tempest Shadow? You see her from a distance and assume she is an earth pony, but come up close you will see she is a unicorn even thou she has a broken horn. Tempest Shadow or Frizzle Pop Berry Twist (her real name before she became a villain) wanted one thing; she wanted her horn back. So what’s the deal, why can’t she get it back? When an animal such as a rhino or a bull breaks a horn, it does grow back, but it takes years. Tempest’s horn broke as a fill.

Action Movies/TV Shows Are Amazing Dramas
I don't care what anyone says, as much as I enjoy a compelling drama, action movies/TV shows are remarkable dramas. People don't realize that the action pushes the story forward more and it makes you emotionally invested in the characters which enriches them. I was watching an interview with Jennifer Garner (Alias, Daredevil, who is still insanely gorgeous) when she was on Seth Meyers' show and she was promoting her current movie, Peppermint. She made an excellent observation that makes me appreciate my love for action more. I'm paraphrasing this but she said action is like drama because it focuses on stories and the fights are supposed to declare something to you because the drama is supposed to provide the characters no choice but to fight.

'The House Arrest Rooneys' Confines Dysfunctional Family and Talk Show Host Jerry Springer
All marriages require sacrifice and contain many challenges—especially when children are involved. But in Peter Welch's new family oriented sitcom, The House Arrest Rooneys, the storyline takes us way beyond those obvious facts of matrimonial life. And not just in name of the show either.
