Disney Flashbacks Part 4

Back again folks with the fourth installment of Disney Flashbacks/ Where are they now?! I am thinking about making this like a monthly show/post until I do reports on all (most) the old Disney crew. If you would like me to do regular updates on the best stars Disney has ever had leave a comment telling me to do so. This post will focus on the old television Disney stars of the past instead of a mix of movie/television. Be sure to check out the other Disney Flashbacks. I will now be taking requests in the comment form below so if you have a Disney star that you always wondered where they are now and would like me to find out for you. You can post the request in any of the Disney Flashbacks but I prefer if you post in the newest addition of the series.

Skins: S5 E7 & E8

Show: Skins
Season: 5
Episode: 7
Original Airing: March 10, 2011

Yes I know I'm a little late for posting this episode of Skins but this was the worst season so far. My Gosh! What were the writers thinking when they wrote this. I just hope for us fans they have something big planned for season 6 to make up for the utter crap this season was. I mean the first episode looked so promising :( .  Anyway, I'm just going to post the episode summary from wiki instead of writing my own considering the I'm so late on the posting. I am also going to combine  E7 and E8 on one post.

Rich spends the night at Grace's house to find that her father is Professor Blood. Mr and Mrs Blood discover Rich trying to sneak out across the garden, to Mr Blood's great disaproval. Mr Blood then drives Grace to school, telling her that she can live her life however she pleases, but if her grades drop she will be forced to go to boarding school. Grace is directing Twelfth Night for a college examination, all of the gang are involved, but Liv makes Matty quit the play with her when a love scene between Matty and Franky makes her suspicious. Grace invites her to a girl's night in to reassure her that everyone still loves her. Later, Professor Blood calls Rich into his office and tells him that he can make Rich's life easier if he purposefully acts badly in the play to make Grace fail, leading her to being sent away. Rich goes to dinner at Grace's house - it is very awkward and Rich tells Grace that he feels like she acts different with her parents. The girls then come over and end up taking cocaine. Mini then brings up the question of Franky's sexuality, and Franky says she's just into people. Liv suspiciously asks her who she is into at the moment, but Grace changes the subject. They all go to a club, meeting up with Matty and Rich. Mini and Franky approach two unnattractive men as a laugh, but one man becomes too forward with Franky. Matty sees and tries to intervene, ending up in an argument with Liv. Rich is drunk and vomits in the club. Grace tries to take him home, when Rich says that he doesn't know the real Grace and walks home angrily by himself. They continue the argument in the morning at rehearsal, where Rich confesses that he doesn't know if they are right for each other. Later, while reciting from Hamlet, Grace gains confidence and makes Matty rejoin the play, where he says that he loves Liv. Grace then goes to Liv where Liv reveals insecurities about what the group think of her. During the assessed performance of the play, Liv goes backstage and questions Matty on whether he loves Franky. Matty can't answer. Liv tells him that he must forget about her. After the play, Grace's parents inform her that she is going to be sent to boarding school anyway, ending with her arguing with both them and Rich. At night, Rich goes to Grace's house and serenades her with lines from Romeo and Juliet. Once in her room, through tears he asks her to marry him. She replies with Miranda's speech from the Tempest: "O wonder! How many godly creatures are there here! How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world! That has such people in it"

Season: 5
Episode: 8
Original Airing: March 17, 2011

Rich prepares for his forthcoming wedding by getting a new haircut - but he's misunderstood by the hairdresser, who gives him the 'Justin Bieber' style. Meanwhile, Franky gives Grace a wedding dress that she's made for her and a wedding cake that her adoptive father baked, while Liv and Mini do Grace's hair and make up. Mini begins to realize that she has a crush on Franky, and goes round to Matty's house to tell him to 'stay away from her'. Mini becomes increasingly overprotective of Franky throughout the episode. The gang set off on the long journey to the church in Alo's van. However, the van crashes, causing Franky to fall on top of Matty. Matty hands Franky a note, saying that his feelings for her are 'something that he can't stop'. The gang take drugs, before Grace & Rich manage to get a lift to the church with a hippy couple, leaving the others to walk the rest of the way. Professor Blood has found out by this time that Grace has left (he's fitted her with a tracking device) and has set off to find her. Franky discovers that Mini went to Matty's house, and leaves Mini with Alo and Nick. She carries on the journey with Liv and Matty, and they end up in a village hall, where they steal wine. Liv feels Franky up to see Matty's reaction. Meanwhile, Nick gets his foot stuck in a rabbit trap. Liv and Matty fight, causing Franky to leave. Matty runs after her, and they end up nearly having sex, but Franky has a panic attack and runs off a cliff. She almost falls, but Mini, Liv and Matty find her and pull her to safety. She reveals just how insecure she is to the others, and how she feels 'different'. Eventually, they all get to the church, but Professor Blood turns up. Grace and Rich decide that they won't get married and will just stay as a normal couple. The gang round off the day at a local gig, where Matty and Liv decide to break up amicably, and Franky and Matty share a hug.

Sex Drive

Year : 2008

Genre : Comedy, Romance
Director : Sean Anders
Movie Stars : Josh Zuckerman, Clark Duke, Amanda Crew, James Marsden, Seth Green
Country: USA
Language : English

A high school loser fakes an online profile to met up with a hot chick over 100 miles away in Kentucky to have sex with her and finally lose his virginity. Armed with his two friends, his brother's stolen car, and Google maps the three friends travel cross country and meet some unusually circumstances and people along the way.

A few of my friends were raving about this film awhile ago so I finally decided that I needed to lay off the thrillers. I remembered seeing the previews back in 2008 but the movie looked like your average meaningless sex comedy so I was a little reluctant to watch. I'm definitely glad I gave this a chance.  This film was freaking hilarious in every way possible. If you liked Harold and Kumar, road trip/teen sex films, and The Hangover than this movie is a must watch for you.

Yes I know I didn't cover episode five of this season but I really just wasn't in the mood to blog that day. So maybe I'll fit it in later, or not. I got all of screen caps. So yeah! For some reason I didn't like this episode too much. It just fell a little flat compared to the other Skins episodes.  Definitely not my favorite. 


It's Alo's birthday, but his parents don't care. Instead of letting him hang with his friends in town they make him work on the farm. Alo's dad and farmhand try to teach him how to drive a tractor but things don't go as planned and Alo's dad lets him run off to be with his friends. His domineering mother finds out and plans to withdraw him from college. She succeeds and Alo must work at the farm. Instead of doing his tasks he hides in Bessy's, the cow,  stable. While smoking he accidentally drops his light onto a tank of propane, blowing Bessy and most of the stable up. His mother and father take everything of Alo's to be sold, including his beloved dog and van. Angry and pass the point of no return, Alo fills condoms with his family's entire flour and egg produce and invites the gang over for a flour and egg fight. After the fight the gang calls most of the college over for a party with the intent of trashing the house. At the party, Mini reveals that she knows that Franky is in love with Maddie. Franky is flirted with by a total stranger who she ends up pushing away. He calls her a dike. Nick confronts the guy as Franky storms off. Liv tries to console her and asks about her sexuality. Liv sees Franky is clearing uncomfortable with the question so she drops the it. Alo's parents arrive to a trashed house and a hundred teens running away from the house after Alo revealed that his father had guns. Alo confronts his father for being a pussy whipped bitch, in layman's terms. Lol.  Alo's dad collapses on the ground due to medical problems unknown to Alo till now. 

Alo goes to Nick's house and sits next to Mini who comforts him. Alo leaves saying shes "alright". Franky walks upstairs to see Matty and Liv having sex in the bathroom, she leaves in tears. Mattie sees her but doesn't mention it to Liv.  Alo walks to Rich's house with the intent of them running away together like they had talked about in earlier years. Rich is excited to say that him and Grace finally did it and that being grown up is the shit. Alo leaves without telling Rich the reason he came. At the hospital, Alo sees his dog. The farmhand divulges that his father had stood up to the mother and stopped her from getting rid of the dog. Alo returns home to his mother and promises to "grow up", and demands for her to be less of an control freak. At the end of the episode Alo and his father have mended their relationship.

OMG this was so cute. It's the average high school love story thats been in the works for years- ugly duck met cool sexy guy and various stories, but the actors were so charming and the comedy just right that it makes the movie stand out. This isn't the type of movie to change your life or anything but I'll turn an ugly rainy day into a sunny cloud free one. I'll definitely want to watch this again and again.

Plot
Nam an uncool and unattractive girl is in love with Chon the "it" guy on campus. With the help of a book called 9 Ways To Get A Guy, Nam and her uncool friends try to make Nam stand out in a positive way in hopes of impressing Chon. She does everything from bleaching her skin, dying her hair, and being the lead in the school play Snow White.  As the school years go by Nam grows from an ugly duck to the hottest gal at school and has everything- but Chon. Will Nam ever get her dream guy?

Disney Stars Flashback: P2

Chez Starbuck
Chez stared in The Thirteenth Year, a story about a boy turning into a mermaid. I used to rent this move from Movie Gallery all the time back in early '00 and I had the biggest crush on this guy. Chez also had a few appearances in Even Stevens and So Weird. Yea... not so cute anymore.

Courtnee Draper
Since I'm talking about The Thirteen Year I may as well include this Disney star. I mostly remember her from Stepsister from Planet Weird and The Thirty Year, of course, but apparently she had a role on The Jersey as well. Her last appearances include CSI: Miami, Ghost Whisperer, Veronica Mars, and Tru Calling back in the mid-2000s.

Erin Chambers
Erin stared in Don't Look Under The Bed as Frances Bacon McCausland. I think this movie came on Disney at three something in the morning a few months ago. This was by far my favorite Disney Halloween movie. Erin has a regular role on General Hospital, playing the Irish character Siobahn McKenna.

Shadia Simmons
The Color of Friendship, Quints, Zenon: The Zequel, Life with Derek are the Disney flicks Shadia has appeared in. She was never the main character from what I remember, but the cute curly haired best friend.

Lindsey Haun
Also staring in The Color Of Friendship is Lindsey Haun. Her recent appearances include an episode of Criminal Minds, True Blood, Cold Case, and Without A Trace. Lindsey was 16 when The Color of Friendship was filmed, now at 26 she doesn't look much older.

Frankie Muniz
Everyone knows Frankie Muniz the cute little kid from Malcolm In The Middle, but not many know he also appeared in Disney offend: Miracle in Lane 2,Lizzie McGuire, and Agent Cody Banks series. Frankie has had a successful race car driving career and appeared in Criminal Minds in 2007.

Hilary Duff
Hilary a.k.a Lizzy was my home girl. I had her puzzles, movies, posters, etc. Its safe to say I am a Lizzy McGuire addict. Hilary's latest album Dignity was released in 2007 and she continues to act in various television and films. In 2010 Hilary married Canadian NHL player Mike Comrie.

Lalaine Ann Vergara-Para
Miranda Sanchez and Lizzy's best friend. This chick is seeking a music career and joined the band Vanity Thief in 2010.

Adam Lamberg
Gordo and Lizzy's other best friend who was secretly in love with her. Adam has been floating around and staring in a few low budgets films since 2005. His last project was Beautiful Loser in 2008. Damn, he got sexy.

Jake Thomas
I figured since I'm talking about Lizzy McGuire I may as well update everyones status so bare with me. Little devil Matt as grown up since the shows cancellation and is 21 years old. Hes last role was in CSI:Miami Criminal Minds. WTF! Why do all Disney wash ups end up on Criminal Minds or CSI.
