Step Up...the movie





After "Take the Lead", here comes another one of those dance movies that just makes me want to get up and dance. The latest buzz that everyone seems to be talking about is "Step Up"...not the Bloom conference, but the movie.

I can't wait to see the movie...but when will it appear on our Malaysian cinema screens, that is the question. In the mean time, to whet your appetites, I've put some of the movie clips and music videos...and they are so cool! The dance moves are like a fusion of Hip Hop and Ballet....hmmm, seems a bit like the Funky Jazz I do in my gym. But anyway...the female lead, Jenna Dewan, also happens to be one of the actress in "Take the Lead" where she did the "threesome" at the dance competition. Now is her turn to be the female lead in this movie. To give you a glimpse of what is in store, here's a brief synopsis of the movie. Enjoy!

Everyone deserves a chance to follow their dreams, but some people only get one shot. Tyler Gage (Channing Tatum) is a rebel from the wrong side of Baltimore's tracks - and the only one thing that stands between him and an unfulfilled life are his dreams of one day making it out of there. Nora (Jenna Dewan) is a privileged ballet dancer attending Baltimore's ultra-elite Maryland School of the Arts - and the only thing standing in the way of her obviously brilliant future is finding a great dance partner for her senior showcase.

When trouble with the law lands Tyler with a community service gig at Maryland School of the Arts, he arrives as an angry outsider, until his skills as a gifted street dancer draw Nora's attention
Now, as sparks fly between them, both on and off stage, Tyler realizes he has just one performance to prove that he can step up to a life far larger than he ever imagined. .Featuring the directorial debut of leading choreographer Anne Fletcher, the film also stars R & B superstar Mario, Drew Sidora as well as rap legend Heavy D.


Note: Due to the long suffering my friends have to endure to download the video, I have removed the clips attached to this post...BUT you can always watch them here Have fun!!

Take the Lead...never follow

Can Antonio Banderas dance? I have seen "Shall We Dance" and Richard Gere can definitely sway. But I have yet to see Antonio Banderas, the actor who is famous for his macho, he-man roles, dance. Hmm...maybe he did in Evita, I forget. So this I gotta see. Listening to all my dance 'kaki' rave about the movie and how it made them want to get up and dance along in the cinema, sure whetted my appetite. But then, even if they didn't say anything, I would have not missed it. Based on a true story of how a dance teacher wanted to teach a bunch of street kids that nobody thought they had any future, how to dance. Oh, these kids can dance but ballroom dancing? And in the end, he didn't just teach them about ballroom dancing, but about life. To teach them to believe in themselves. That if they want to achieve something, they had to work at it and not blame your circumstances for pulling you down. To teach the guys how to treat a lady with respect cos beating ...

RM 1 Million Dollar Wedding (Part II)...Go ahead, throw the first stone!

Just saw another article on the 'infamous couple' this morning and was feeling a little outraged. Transsexual drama queen?? Sinful couple?? Who gave these people the right to condemn them? Who do they think they are? God? My anger is not because he is my friend, but the at the judgemental attitude of society. Too often we are ready to accuse others unjustly of wrongdoing. We fail to see that we, ourselves, are guilty of sins. Judging is necessary in life, but it must be done fairly. Even as we judge, so we shall be judged (Matthew 7: 2). Sometimes, our motives for judging are for improper purposes. Putting someone down makes us feel superior but it is actually a manifestation of pride. When we enjoy besmirching another, we become "stone throwers" and we lose grace. If you look in the Bible at passage (John 8:1-11) , Jesus didn't condemn sinners but extended outrageous grace. The scene is the temple courts where Jesus was teaching. The Pharisees, unable to g...

RM 1 Million Wedding (Part I)

A recent article came out in The Star tabloid regarding a couple who spent about RM 1 million ringgit on their wedding. Now this was no ordinary wedding...the bride happens to be a man who underwent three major surgeries in order to be a woman and the groom happens to be.................... my ex-schoolmate! For the full article, just click here Imagine my shock when I saw the photo and article. Hmmm...didn't know he had it in him to love someone so much, he proposed six times to her(him?). I used to see him in school back in Form 6. He even dated my classmates before...ahem, they happened to be females. He's quite a good looking guy and though I've lost touch with him now, he used to join my class when we went out for group outings. He's actually a quiet guy and also quite active in sports, but I didn't really knew him very well. I can still remember the time he came to persuade me from quitting as a librarian. What happened was when I started my Lower 6 F...
