Clap!... El lugar de tus sueños (2003–2004)

Not as great as it sounds

[4/10 · 27 December 2006]

The show seemed to childish to be a teen drama. They characters and the plot seemed allot like a child dreaming of themselves becoming famous in their teenage years in their childish way. This remake should have never been made. The show does manage to keep some interest because of Ana Lavyeska, but I wonder why should ever accepted to play Valentina. The show is entertaining some times, but it has major flaws. The theme song made the "teen drama" sound like a kid's show, the theme song sounded good when I heard it, but didn't sound like a song a teen drama would use. Some characters looked older than 17, some looked like they where ready to hit their thirties.

Rebelde (2004–2006)

Rebelde

[7/10 · 27 December 2006]

Rebelde started off great, season one had many great events, like the logia, and the love triangles, but the second and third season was horrible, especially season two. The second season started off the exact same place the first season ended, literally, the same spot Roberta was in the first season was the way the second season started. Mia and Miguel where stranded on the island too long, and all they did was try to have sex, and they didn't, and try to find a boat. The second season dealt with the same love triangles, and took place in the school to much, the show became way to predictable. The only good parts where the students tried to form the band. The third season made a good attempt to revive the series but it wasn't good enough, Celina being pregnant, and Gaston dying was good, but the love situation being the theme of the series was weak. The Gran finale was good, I could tell the original writer (Rebelde Way)known they could have done better. Having Roberta giving speeches about everybody in the end isn't a fond memory. Rebelde did to much item promotions, and the actors looked to old to be playing 15 year-old, and some of the young actors don't have good enough acting experience. The show could have used major improvement in the second and third season. Some things from season one were left hanging, for example, in season two it seemed like la logia never existed, it's like Pilar and the rest forgot about them completely, and it seems like the people who have impacted the characters lives Ex: Enrique, Julieta, Paola, Simon, La Logia, never existed after the end of season one, and some of the teachers magically vanished from the plot. The story made a few weak attempts to talk about other teen issues, but they didn't do a good enough job. They played some songs that didn't go with the scene, and some scenes didn't even need the Portuguese version of a song by RBD. Some characters seem undeveloped, in my opinion Mia is this character, because her metamorphosis in the story isn't huge just minor. There where way to many characters in the series and those characters get one liners every once in a while.

The show was great but season two and three should have never been made, season one could have just been the whole novel.

Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare (1991)

What I thought of the movie

[6/10 · 27 December 2006]

The movie wasn't scary, like the 4th and 5th parts, and it seemed more like a cheap comedy movie. I watched the encyclopedia DVD, and Racheal Talalay claimed that she has to make the end suitable for the 3D effects for a movie gimmick, Racheal didn't want this but New Line did. That decision probably altered the movie, but the movie was originally going to have Tayrn, Kincaid, and Joey as dream polices, but that was just stupid. The movie has some untrained actors, and no real "gross" death scenes, which make the series legendary, where in this film, the characters barely knew who Freddy was, and they just started having nightmares about him, unlike the characters from parts 1-3 who have already been dreaming about him. The movie could use big time improvement, as far as I know, this movie was a waste of good money.
