Advantages: Freddie, make over Disadvantages: Predictable
I would group this movie in the same adolescent genre as films such as I Know What you Did Last Summer, Scream etc, partly because it contains some of the same actors and partly because they all have generally the same theme and set up running through them.
Most of the movies I could give or take but I actually really liked She?s AllThat and actually went to watch it twice in the cinema as I liked it so much the first time. It might have had something to do with the lead male role in the film, Zack Siler, played by the then unknown Freddie Prinze Jr. I hadn?t seen him in anything before and yes, I admit it, I immediately had a crush on him. He?s cute in a boyish sort of way and I think still is to this day and plays the part of high school crush well. His character is the popular, class president, cute boy at school who you really ...

Films... aren't they great? For a few hours, you are transported into a completely different world. At the least, you'll be entertained, and if you're lucky, you might learn something and gain insights into what the film is dealing with.

His best friend, Dean ...
Advantages: Excellent musicianship and songwriting. Thought provoking lyrics. Disadvantages: Strong Christian message may put off those not "in faith".
INTRODUCTION
The usual, stereotypical image of Christian music is of one man in chunky cable jumper strumming his acoustic guitar and doing his best John Denver impersonation singing ?Kumbaya?, or, alternatively dozens of hand waving, happy clappy gospel singers in blue gowns giving it some welly. The idea that Christians could ?rock out? and actually have some fun is anathema to most people, but fortunately, we like loud music just as much as the next heathen. Fortunately, the stereotype is just that ? there are plenty of really good contemporary Christian music (CCM) bands around at the moment, such as The Newsboys, Casting Crowns, SonicFlood, Third Day, the excellent Rush of Fools, and of course, MercyMe. All of these groups marry a contemporary sound to evangelistic and Christian themes ? sometimes overtly, sometimes in more ...
