I thought this movie was slowly paced as they kept setting up the introductions, then it got a bit dramatic as you see the main character changing. They had a lot of good ideas and some depth although the ending was definitely cheesy.

Colton's reconciliation with his family and conflict with his friends were, I thought, portrayed realistically. I sort of liked this character and the way he put all his effort into who he was before - and after - his life altering experiences.

However, the girl Sara was so bland, okay she plays tennis competitively and wants to win badly. She's helpful to her single mother and assists Colton with his new identity and he helps her train for the match in turn. Not very interesting, which made the movie hard to watch. I mean, what does she learn at the end? Don't lose because it's bad and you can't handle it? I wish they would have used some other premise for a resolution.

Overall, I was satisfied with the acting and characters and want high school or middle schoolers to watch this because I think it shows them perspective.

My kids ages 7 to 15 all really liked this movie--enough to ask to see it again.

2009 debut album from the 2008 X-Factor winner. With a willfully mischievous glint in her eye, 21 year old Alexandra Burke is sitting on one of the hottest Pop debuts of the decade. From the rumbling first bars of her Sci-Fi Disco stormer single 'Bad Boys', to the Red One-fashioned Dancehall groove of 'Dumb', Alexandra's A-list produced Overcome is a party monster of a record, poised to knock the socks off even the most cynical Pop enthusiast. Recorded over six months, Overcome is a collection of club smashes ('All Night,' 'Dumb,' 'Broken Heals') peppered with astonishingly soul-bearing slow jams ('Silence,' 'Perfect.') Created with the help of perhaps the industries most in demand production houses (Roc Nation and Jay-Z, The Phantom Boyz, Red One, Stargate and The Freemasons) the album is a sonic manifestation of Alexandra's ballsy personality, with the lady herself describing the collection as 'a beast.' Syco.

I'm an unabashed Creed fan and I have to say "Overcome" is a great song, bar none! It's hard, gritty, impassioned and evolved from the their earlier material, but it's still Creed nonetheless. And if that's any indication of what their album will sound like then... it's gonna rock. I saw them a week ago at the Nissan Pavilion in Bristow, Va. on Aug. 21st and it was an awesome show! I left there inspired. Most of the set of course was music from their three albums plus the two new singles from the new one. I can't wait til it comes out! But as for right now, if you're interested in hearing this new cut, buy it! You won't be disappointed. It sounded as good live as it does on cd... and if anything it is a sign of better things to come from the band. Creed is back!
