Terrific Tink!

August 2nd, 2010 by Anthea | No Comments | Filed in Movies

Here at GP HQ, we loooooove fairies! One of our all time faves is the fabulous Tinker Bell. We’re uber-excited because she’s starring in her very own film, Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue!

In this flick, we meet Tink in the days before Wendy and the Lost Boys. She meets a girl called Lizzy and they become fast friends. Unfortunately Lizzy has a greedy father who wants to take Tink away to a museum! Eeeek! In the scuffle to steal her, Tink’s friend Iridessa gets taken instead. Tink sets off on an epic journey to rescue her friend and save fairy kind!

Check out the trailer here!

It hits cinemas on Thursday, August 5. Yay! Also you can witness the magical moment when Tinker Bell first meets a human, and it’s not who you might think, when Tinker Bell – The Great Fairy Rescue flies onto Disney Blu-Ray and DVD September 15!

We can’t wait for this fab fairy flick! There’s also loads more info on Tink and a guide to all things fairy in this month’s Girl Power. Be sure to check it out!

Eclipse Movie Review!

July 6th, 2010 by Nat | 30 Comments | Filed in Movies, Stuff

So Powerettes, it was cold and gloomy outside on Sunday night, but that wasn’t about to stop me! I got rugged up, super excited to see Eclipse, the third in the Twilight saga! So what’s the verdict Powerettes?

Eclipse was actually really good! I was so hooked my popcorn was hardly touched! If you’ve read Eclipse you’ll know how exciting the storyline is and the movie didn’t disappoint me at all. I held my breath during the action scenes and even shed a tear here and there- sniff!

Both Jacob and Edward were supercute (of course) and K-Stew played stressed out Bella perfectly. I also loved getting to know the history behind the Cullen’s and the Quileutes. The movie was just the right mix of romance and adventure and I don’t think I’d have changed a thing.

In fact I think Eclipse may have been my favourite in the Twilight series so far! How about you Powerettes? Have you seen the latest in the Twilight Saga? If so what did you think? We’d love to hear your thoughts!

Marvellous Marmaduke

June 24th, 2010 by Anthea | 11 Comments | Filed in Competition, Movies

Marmaduke is your typical 200 pound teenage Great Dane who stands out anywhere he goes. The family pet of the Winslow’s, Marmaduke has outgrown his cute puppy stage and has become an awkward, gangly, insecure gentle giant who tends to be inadvertently accident-prone due to his gargantuan size.

Always the outcast, he gets a new lease on life when the Winslow’s decide to make a move to the O.C. (Orange County), but when he falls for a hot Afghan Hound named Jezebel, Marmaduke has to take on the dog park to make a place for himself, all the while learning that it’s who you are inside that makes you the top dog.

Camp Rock Giveaway!

March 29th, 2010 by Anthea | 5 Comments | Filed in Competition, Movies

Good morning!

We are getting so excited here in the Girl Power office because Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam is set for release in only a few short months. In this super sequel the cute Camp Rock kids return for another summer of fun, only to find that a very fancy rival camp, Camp Star, has opened just across the lake. The trouble is Camp Star has lured heaps of cool campers and instructors away from Camp Rock! The only way to settle this dispute is, of course, with a big battle of the bands.

Meanwhile, there is more than just music on the campers’ minds. Love is in the air when Nate (Nick Jonas) totally falls for Dana (Chloe Bridges), the daughter of Camp Star’s owner. This little crush makes everything even more complicated!

Demi Lovato, who resumes her role as Mitchie, recently gave a few hints about what to expect from the latest flick. “There’s more drama, there’s more romance, there’s more dancing, more music. It’s more of a musical this time around, than it was the first time,” she spilled. “I think that’s what it needed. There’s you know, 50 dancers as opposed to 15, and it’s just bigger and more awesome.” Well Demi, awesome is what we want!

We also wanna make the wait for the latest film a little easier for one of our readers, by giving away a Camp Rock prize pack! Included in the stash is a Camp Rock activity book with rock wristband, Camp Rock scrapbook, The Jonas Brothers’ book “Burning Up” which tells all about their tour, and (my fave!) a Shane doll with cute accessories!

To win this awesome prize pack, tell us what song YOU would sing if you had to take part in a musical showdown! Email your answer to girlpower@next.com.au with the subject line Camp Rock Comp. Don’t forget to include your address so we can send you the prizes if you’re the lucky winner!

Rock out girls!

Happy Monday!

March 1st, 2010 by Nat | 8 Comments | Filed in Celebrity, Movies

Hey Girl Powerettes! Hopefully you’ve had a fun and relaxing weekend, and you’re ready for this week’s fill of the juiciest celeb gossip!

Many congrats are in order for some of our fave stars. HSM hottie Corbin Bleu blew out 21 candles for his b’day last week! Corbin celebrated by doing what he loves best – performing on Broadway!
We’re sending birthday wishes to Twilight cutie Ashley Greene! Ash, who plays Alice Cullen, turned 23 last Sunday. She’s busy filming a movie in Germany, but hopefully she got to take some time out to have some yummy chocolate-dipped strawberries – her fave sweet treat!
Other members of the Twilight cast have reason to celebrate… Kristen Stewart won a BAFTA (a massive award in the UK) for being the best new rising star of 2009. K-Stew accepted her award wearing a glam white beaded mini dress and said “I have to thank all the fans of Twilight, for being the most devoted and attentive fans ever.”
Joe Jonas might be the next Spider-Man! This might just be a rumour started by Joe’s bestie Demi Lovato, but we think the spunky JoBro would make an awesome superhero! Rumours are also swirling that Joe has a new girlfriend, UK singer Pixie Lott! The two have been spending lots of time together, but both say they’re just friends. Hmm…!
In other Jonas news,Nelena might be back on! Nick Jonas and Selena Gomez were spotted having dinner together and even played a game of golf together on Sunday. True or false, we’re so glad this cute couple can still be friends!
Congrats to Hilary Duff, and Mike Comrie, who are officially engaged! Mike proposed to Hils in beautiful Hawaii! We’re sure Hils will make a gorgeous bride, and we’re so excited for the happy pair!

And last but not least, Happy Birthday to our lovely GP team member Bec! We hope you have an uber fabulous day!

Got any goss you’d like to share? Let us know!

Nat xx

Movie Madness

February 26th, 2010 by Amy | 8 Comments | Filed in Movies

Psst! Today Mel and I got to sneak out of the office and catch a movie… new flick Alice In Wonderland! You can catch Alice at the movies from March 4 (that’s next Thursday). Want to know what we thought of the movie? Well…

Amy says: “It was a teeny bit scary, especially when Alice was falling down the hole! I loved the scenery and the costumes, and because it was in 3D everything looked so lush and real. I loved Anne Hathaway as the White Queen too!”

Mel says: “OMG! Mia Wasikowska (she played Alice) did really well. And Tim Burton’s vision was amazing!”
