Advantages: Diverse entertainment Disadvantages: Semi-grim location
Morrissey could sing about something dire and teenage happening beneath it. Still, up ahead is another nice avenue of trees...but you have to turn left. And left again. A few minutes of disappointed trudging will bring you to an anonymous industrial estate, wherein lurks The Junction. And there you were, thinking Cambridge was nothing but dreaming spires. (That's Oxford anyway, but you get my drift).
The Junction is Cambridge's "second" multi-arts venue, and can be considering a smidge less conservative and a tad more interesting than the larger, "waiting room for the next life" Corn Exchange. Extensively refitted and augmented (as part of the large Cattle Market development) in the last few years, it has three venues on site; the main Junction 1 largely for club or live music nights (not bad, occasionally a sonic nightmare, capacity 850 ...

Advantages: Teens will like it! Disadvantages: Does'nt Feature much of the Jonas Bros!
Being a High School Musical fan , when I heard that there was a new 'music' film out , I just had to see what Disney had come up with and whether it was live up to the success of High School Musical.
Camp Rock is an American Disney Channel Original movie released in the United Kingdom on September 1st 2008.

Advantages: Good story line, realistic characters, excellent show scenes Disadvantages: High school musical is of a higher standard and more viewable
I found this a quite an enjoyable film. Its not to be taken too seriously, its along similar lines to Fame, however in an American camp for gifted singers, actors, etc. The singing I found was very good for the most part - my favorite parts being the shows the children performed in the film. The realistic sideline story is very good also showing you a bit of an insight of what it is like to attend one of these summer camps. The love story aspect was quite good from all angles showing the complexity of relationships between heterosexual and gay relationships both from a friendship and dating angle.
This is a film I would recommend to others, however I do have to admit it isn't up to the same standard as the recent High School Musical films, but none the less worth a peek.
