Okay, so here's our first post for our Lights, Camera, Action: Movie Reviews blog. In case you didn't know, we started this blog because of a rather successful thread on the ZEfron forums. So in hopes of better organization techniques and to reach a bigger audience, we moved here.
Hopefully, all of the reviews that we have will soon be up and then you can add your own comments to those of others!
