...that scale, High School Musical 3 is eye watering but requires no retinal sabotage. Except perhaps in the performance of budding comedian Ashley Tisdale, there's not one second of acting worth watching. There's not one line in the script that's not ridiculously predictable.

...they seemed almost evanescent. What will be remembered, apart from Palin's enormous winks? McCain wanted to change a deadly fact that has threatened to crush his campaign from the beginning: he's a Republican loaded with the baggage of George W. Bush. He had to rewrite the script. Obama? All he's had to do is read the one that was written...
