Plot:
I watched this one on Netflix. It took me a while to write this review. Mainly because I want to give it a fair review for the show that it was... without comparing it too much to the movie. I know there has to be some comparison while watching but I wanted to review this on it's own merits. Some of the cast choices seemed odd to me. But others was right on. I felt Vanessa Hudgens did a wonderful job as Rizzo and Julianne Hough was good as Sandy... but that is about the best I can say about the cast. On one hand I thought it was a good homage to the film and I liked the live aspect... but on the other hand they made some choices that left me scratching my head. Even watching this version I couldn't help myself from thinking of Dawn. As much as she loved the original film and as many times as she made me sit through it... because of this the entire Grease franchise has a special place in my heart.

My advice on this one... you are better off watching the original film. But if you must see it... there is worse ways to waste just over 2hrs of your time. Would I add this one to my collection? Maybe if I got it super cheap or free. But I don't feel the need to rush adding it.

This is another film a friend gave me the DVD out of her Blu-ray/DVD Combo pack. It is one I never seen before today... but been curious about since the first time I saw the trailer for it. After watching it... I have to admit that I was expecting a little more from it. But over-all I enjoyed it. Definitely worth the time put in to watch it. Though it isn't one I see myself re-watching very often.

The last few days I did have a Sabrina marathon, watching the last few seasons which were still in my unwatched pile. The last episode was actually cut together from the last two episodes. This is noticable, because the two half do not have a common story. The only episode of the last few seasons I ever saw before was the very last one. Even though I had stopped following Sabrina in the fourth season when it first aired on German television, I was curious about the finale. It is a good conclusion to the series.
