Hellcats The promos for the new CW series Hellcats have been released and they look intriguing I must say. Though with every cheerleader movie the formula seems to always be the same. Girl who totally looks like a cheerleader claims to march to her own drummer and be all alternative and cool (so, you know, wears a fitted leather jacket and flannels) but she also happens to be some sort of ex-phenomonal dancer or gymnast is forced to audition for the awesome school cheerleading team who conveniently just lost their star cheerleader and need a lesson on why you shouldn't judge imperfect people. Well at least that was the plot of like 3 of the 8 Bring it Ons and it was definitely the plot of the first. Anyway, to be different, Hellcats takes place at a college and not a high school and this time we are supposed to believe that Aly Michalka is a brainy, moody girl. Okay, see this make take some liberal thinking on the audiences' party because Aly Michalka makes Ashley Tisdale (who plays a rival cheerleader) look like a Yale grad student. I don't want to say that Aly Michalka looks cheap with her big blond curly hair and tons of make-up but when she puts on the cheerleading outfit and starts gyrating Ashley Tisdale (whose brown hair is contributing to this) looks like the sedate one. Anyway, Sharon Leal (Boston Public) plays their coach and there are some cute boys and I am sure a couple of High School musical extras snuck their way into this one too. It could have a surprising hook since Tom Welling produced it.
