Joey Nicdao (sweetestbaby)

Bandslam PG

On the surface this movie seems to be about the music but what I love about this movie is that deep down it touches on a lot of good lessons including clique stereotypes, not to judge a book by its cover, not to judge or underestimate someone, to face and own up to your own past and mistakes, girls needing to give nice guys a chance, and to balance having a crush and having friends. Vanessa Hudgens proves that she's more than just a Disney actress by portraying the excentric and complex yet very down to earth and likeable Sa5m. Sa5m thinks outside the box so much that it's what makes her so original and the things that are odd about Sa5m (like the silent 5 in her name to her need to question reality) are what makes me want a girl like her. The whole cast is underrated. I went straight to complimenting Alyson Michalka's acting and singing then it wasn't until after I watched the movie did I realize that Alyson Michalka was Aly from Aly & AJ, leaving me speechless and impressed.

Love and Basketball PG-13

This movie combines two of the things that matter to me the most, love and basketball and tells it in an unbelievably romantic and heartfelt way. This movie reinforces the notion of having a soulmate and being able to reignite a love that never went out.
