Review: The Jonas Brothers 3D Concert



[Editor's note] I make no secret of my fandom for all things Jonas. Aided considerably by my 9 year old Goddaughter Abby, I have become a dreaded teeny bopper. Or rather, a tweeny bopper. I have their albums, anticipate their videos, and relish any opportunity to bring them up in random conversation. I'm even secretly growing out my hair to look like Joe's! As all good enablers do, Abby has gotten into the habit of handing me cut-outs of them from Tiger Beat and BOP. I keep those in a private folder...



Anyway, this pasted Saturday found me, a 23 year old single male, in a movie theatre full of screaming, dancing, and singing 8 and 9 year old girls. What brought us together for 78 glorious minutes? The Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience, of course!



It was the funnest movie-going experience I've had since the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers Movie. We got to stand up, dance, sing, clap, cheer, and swoon as Joe Jonas went shirtless. The show itself was impressive and the behind-the-scenes clips enjoyable. Taylor Swift (yawn) and Demi Lovato (barf) had cameo singing appearances, as did the Jonas' bodyguard Big Rob. Above it all, stands their music. They played the old standbys mixed with a couple of songs I hadn't heard before. As any self-respecting fan would do, I promptly iTuned them into my collection. I recommend "Love is On The Way."



In short, sensational experience. I'd rather have them in the flesh, but 3D is a great simulation.

No other movie can be better than this one! It is one of the best movies of Jonas Brothers.The 3D effect made me feel as if being present physically at a big concert.Overall I think this movie should be rated 9/10.I have already booked an advance ticket to watch it again this weekend!

Regarding the Barry Manilow concert in Coral Gables

Image
[ Editor's note ] Three monumental things have happened to me at the BankUnited Center. In 2004, my high school held its graduation ceremony there. In 2008, I heard presidential nominee Barack Obama speak about the future. And this past Saturday night, I saw the incomparable Barry Manilow perform in concert. To say that Barry remains every bit the superstar I was hoping for is putting it mildly. At 67 years young, he brought all the magic, the smiles, and the bandstand boogie he's famous for and then some. Funny, talented and charmingly self-deprecating, Barry Manilow remains without equal. Admittedly, the night started off rather poorly. Barry’s opening act was a man named Gerry McCambridge who has allegedly been wowing audiences at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas since 2005. As the creative force and inspiration behind the TV show The Mentalist , McCambridge's schtick is to do clever things with numbers. Honestly, I've never thought that doing anything with numbers w...

Regarding Steve Grand at Market Days

Image
Today, in the unlikeliest place imaginable, a musician restored my faith in music. His name is Steve Grand and believe me when I say that he lives up to his name. I first heard about Steve a year ago when his video for “All-American Boy” spread across the Internet like a wildfire. Being an ardent supporter of talented people (because there are so few of them left!) I downloaded the song, donated a little money to his Kickstarter campaign for an album, and followed him on the Twitter. Then last week I found out that he’d be at Market Days this weekend and quickly made arrangements to be there, too. Given the venue and nature of the audience, I was not expecting much. Steve is handsome and built like a truck, so I thought he’d come out shirtless, the audience of boys would fawn over him for the duration of three songs, and that would be that. How wonderfully wrong I was. Steve came out fully clothed-- wearing a plain white V-neck tee shirt, skinny black Levis, and...

California high court expected to rule on same-sex marriage

Image
The California Supreme Court is expected to determine the fate of same-sex marriage in the state today as well as the validity of about 18,000 same-sex marriages. The court will rule on the constitutionality of Proposition 8, the controversial measure banning same-sex marriage that voters approved in November. Its opponents want the amendment nullified. They say the proposition alters California's Constitution and, therefore, under state law, is a revision that requires a constitutional convention. Attorneys for the opponents also say the proposition, which removed the "marriage" label from same-sex unions, effectively deprives same-sex couples of a fundamental right guaranteed them under the equal-protection clause in the U.S. Constitution. Proposition 8 passed with about 52.5 percent of the vote, making California one of several states to ban same-sex marriage in the November 4 elections. But unlike others, California had been issuing marriage licenses to same-sex coupl...
