I sugest this cd to everyone. You will remember through the years this great cd!

When I first saw the trailer, I thought "Oh man. Not another kiddy spy movie." I was not a fan of the Spy Kids films and watching them with my little brother was torture. I took him to see this because I love Malcolm In The Middle and Hilary Duff is hot! The movie ended up being very good. I was shocked! The plot is like this. 16 year old Cody Banks (Frankie Muniz from Malcolm In The Middle and Big Fat Liar) was recruited as a C.I.A agent via a summer camp. Now he gets his first mission. To protect the daughter of a scientist (Hilary Duff of Lizzie McGuire and a Hollywood Records recording artist) who has gotten involved with bad guys (one of them is Arnold Vosloo from the Mummy and ABC's Veritas) trying to destroy the world with micro robots that can eat through anything but glass. The only problem is Cody has a problem talking to girls. From the action packed begining to really cool end, everyone will love this movie. The gadgets are awsome and not at all kiddy looking (like another movie about young secret agents that I know of.) It's not a James Bond rip off (like spy kids), the story is (unlike Spy Kids), The action scenes don't look cheesy (like spy kids). About the only thing I didn't like is Cody's annoying little brother. But he's not in it that much!

Hilary Duff stars in this movie as a girl whose father dies in an earthquake. Because there is no will left her stepmother gets everything, including Sam (Hilary).

The movie picks up 8 years later where Sam is a senior in high school preparing to go to college at Princeton (that is, if she gets accepted). High school isn't exactly a happy experience for Sam as she has only two friends. One real, one an email friend that texts her constantly. To everyone else in the school she's know as Diner Girl.
Home isn't any better, as she is forced to live in the attic, do all of the chores, wait on her stepmother and sisters constantly, and work seven days a week at the diner owned by her stepmother.

Since I saw the previews of this movie I thought it looked funny. I've been looking forward to it since the first preview. However, now that it's out and I read the reviews I was nervous. Luckily my fears weren't realized. This movie ended up being a sweet, family friendly, romantic comedy. Duff does an excellent job of portraying Sam. She truly is an excellent young actress, the pep rally scene is proof of this.

While this movie wasn't really laugh out loud funny, it was funny at times, but more than that it was sweet and, for lack of a better word, cute. The direction was really nice. It wasn't super artsy, but it was well done and added a certain beauty to the film.

Cinderella Story ended up being a really sweet movie that deserves a better reaction than it recieved. Great acting, a clever update of an old fairy tale, an awesome soundtrack, and a likeable cast makes for a great afternoon at the movies.

This DVD features the episodes:

Misadventures in Babysitting

Between a Rock and a Bra Place

Rated Aargh

Party Over Here

I'm not going to rip Hilary Duff apart like a previous reviewer because I actually think she was about the best part of this film, hence the one star. It's fun and girly but I couldn't enjoy it because of the constant stereotypes (i.e. blonde girl enters the business world and doesn't know anything apart from how to utilize colour, as well as the consistent way the female characters judge men by their 'hot abs' or 'tight asses'). It just seems a bit sexist in terms of both the male and female characters and, while I know most chick flicks are like this to some extent, it has never been to the extent that I've felt the need to switch off. The English guy's accent is laughable. Why don't they just use English people to portray English people rather than people whose accent flips between Australian and American? The other characters besides Lane are pretty rubbish and wooden, including her best friend and more or less all the people she works with. The story, I guess, is light-hearted and cutesy, but if you have an ounce of intellect and don't assume that all women are bimbos whose specialist subject is coats and men's worth is assessed by the tightness of their buns, I suggest looking elsewhere. I was also a little concerned about the sexual references (i.e. painting each others bodies with chocolate and then 'burning it off' after one date, talk of climaxing etc.). Surely that's a bit much for a younger audience?

One thing I noticed about this compilation is that it features pretty much every track Hilary herself has ever written. This extended edition (which should have been the standard, in my opinion), however, features 4 extra tracks (all-new ones at that) that she did NOT write so it's clear why this wasn't the standard edition. The songs on this collection are among her most stunning and mature and the remixes certainly help that as well.

1. Wake Up - An AWESOME single! Hilary's first single written by her. The vocal arrangments on the hooks remind me of Whitney Houston's "Greatest Love Of All" for some reason and the rest sounds very Puffy AmiYumi. It blends the best elements of both pop/rock AND dance. A great way to kick off both the album and a new era of Duff. 7/5
2. The Getaway - The first "old" track on the album, but definitely a favorite from her sophomore album. Features a darker side of her as she practically describes a stalker. Sounds very creepy. 5/5
3. The Beat Of My Heart - Yet another song written by Hil. Hilary Duff's first true dance song since "What Dreams Are Made Of" from the Lizzie Movie, only with a more mature "club" sound. 5/5
4. Come Clean (Chris Cox edit) - This remix basically sounds like the original only set to a faster pace - until it hits the chorus, then it becomes techno! It's nice to have 2 dance tracks back-to-back, especially since many of Duff's fans are into dance music, yet it seems to be something missing from her overall catalog. It stays true to the original, yet makes for an amazing dance tune. 4/5
5. Who's That Girl (acoustic) - This song had always been my favorite Hilary Duff track, since it was so emotionally charged and she turned in her best vocal delivery...so I was skeptical about hearing an acoustic version, but she TRULY pulls it off! While her voice doesn't sound QUITE as strong as the original, the way it just sounds so RAW and natural just makes it even more heart-wrenching and emotionally charged. Simply fantastic. 10/5
6. Mr. James Dean - Written by Hilary. Never a raving favorite of mine, but somehow it works better on this album than her last. 4/5
7. So Yesterday - A song that needs to be a part of every modern pop fanatic's collection. 5/5
8. Metamorphosis - This song was a favorite of mine, and while it was supposed to be mature on her debut, it sounds sliiightly out of place here. It would've been nicer remixed. Like maybe the way she performs a heavy metal version in concert, or a dance mix? The first song Hilary wrote. 4/5
9. Rock This World (2005 Remix) - WOW! I absolutely hated this track and it went down as my least favorite Duff track and sounded so fake and horrid. But on this collection, the new harder rock sound actually works and sounds AWESOME! (Yet another penned by Hilary) 5/5
10. Break My Heart - A GREAT track. Hilary adopts a garage punk type sound. But still sounds true to her original sound - and she wrote it! 5/5
11. Jericho (Remix 2005) - Written by Hilary. I loved the original, and this one stays true to it, but places a hard-edged beat. In doing this, it sort of loses its sentimental feelings, but yet stays true to the entire meaning of the song. I like the original better. 3/5
12. Fly - An awesome song. I like it better here than I did on the album it came from. 5/5
13. Supergirl - A good song, but not as good as the other 3. Or well, not as different from her previous material as her others are. But still great! 5/5
14. Party Up (2005 Dance remix) - Not nearly as good as the original. Sounds like the typical bad out-of-tune garage-y dance remix found on today's Club Charts. 2/5
15. Girl Can Rock (remix) - Not listed as a remix, but it is. The beginning is totally different from the original and the song is made to sound a lot heavier rockish, but still VERY awesome! 5/5
16. Our Lips Are Sealed - A nice duet that puts a rock-yet-kid-friendly spin on the original. 5/5
17. Why Not? - A remix OF a remix! It takes the Metamorphosis remix of the tune and makes it sound harder. Sounds great. Captures the live concert feel of the song. 4/5
18. Do You Want Me? (live) - A great live version of the song. Captures the live feel efficiently. 4/5
