First Impressions: Tru Confessions

Image result for tru confessions

        The 2002 DCOM (Disney Channel Original Movie) "Tru Confessions", based off of the 1997 novel of the same name by Janet Tashjian is one of the best DCOMs I have ever seen. 
        Personally, I have never read the novel so I will not be referencing it. This solely based off of my opinion of the film. 
        Tru Confessions portrays the struggles of a family with a member who has developmental struggles. The main character, Tru or Trudy Walker (Portrayed by Clara Bryant), the twin sister of Eddie Walker (Portrayed by Shia LaBeouf) tries to make her brother feel more comfortable and accepted in the world, while also trying to win a contest where she must create and host her own tv show. 
        This movie displayed such honesty that isn't shown in many recent DCOMs. It showed the truth of many families in a very beautiful and understandable way.
        After watching it the first time, I grew to have much respect for the film, but upon watching it a second time, my respect only grew further. I very strongly recommend watching this film.  
        What are your thoughts? EOnline rated it as one of Disney's worst DCOMs. Is "Tru Confessions" one of the best or worst DCOMs?

Ranking Demi Lovato's Albums!

        Hi! This week I'm going to share my opinion on one of my favorite musical artists: Demi Lovato. This is all based on my own opinion, so you don't have to agree. Currently, she has six studio albums. This list will only include her personal albums (except for "Moves Me" [2004] & "Demo" [?]). This will not include soundtracks or compilation albums from her other projects. 5.  ("Tell Me You Love Me" Album Cover)         In fifth place is her latest album, "Tell Me You Love Me [Clean] (Deluxe) + (Target Exclusive)" which was released in 2017.          I personally don't like this album. It's a good album, but I'm not the target demographic for this album, so maybe that's why I don't like it.          Many of the songs have a more adult theme, so parental consent is recommended.          The album is different from Lovato's previ...

Why High School Musical & Descendants Are the Same

 vs          To clear up any misunderstandings, I understand that both franchises were directed and choreographed by Kenny Ortega so they will have some similarities in their layouts.         "High School Musical" is a DCOM (Disney Channel Original Movie) that was released in 2006. The movie conveys the message of breaking free of quotas and being your true self, no matter what labels people put on you, through various different musical numbers. The movie follows star basketball player Troy Bolton and overly 'smart' Gabriella Montez, and how music unites the two unexpected couple together.         "Descendants" is a DCOM that was released in 2015, almost ten years after the release of the original High School Musical. The movie teaches the audience that you must make your own choices in life, and you do not have to live the same lives as your parents, even if that is what is expected of you. The musical follo...

Is "Under Wraps" Really that Bad?

        Is the 1997 DCOM (Disney Channel Original Movie) "Under Wraps" really one of the worst DCOMs? According to EOnline, it's the ninth worst DCOM to have ever been made.           The movie is aimed at a slightly older audience, like me, but it never goes out of its way to show that. It has believable characters, like Amy, the sarcastic one of the trio of friends who, inevitably find and awake a mummy, whom they call Harold. They embark on a journey to save Harold from turning into dust but instead learn a lesson about love.          The main character, Marshall, has trouble accepting that his mom is in a relationship with someone who is not his father. After seeing what troubles Harold, played by the voice of Patrick Star from the tv show "Spongebob Squarepants", Bill Fagerblake, goes through to see his love for the final time, he comes to a conclusion that his mom should be able to love whomev...
