The movie "School of Rock" was one thing, but now, with the release of his self-titled debut album, Joey Gaydos Jr. is entering a whole new school of rock. He wrote all the songs and plays most of the instruments on the album, a hard-rocking collection of tunes that sounds like a combination of Green Day and Aerosmith -- with a 13-year-old singing.
Universal Pictures has made a two-year first-look producing deal with Black and White Prods., a newly formed company that teams "The School of Rock" star Jack Black with the film's writer, Mike White.

Rock Camp is based on a real-life summer camp run by the Conservatory Of Music In Halifax called Summer Rock, which teaches regular dudes and dudettes how to rock out with the best of ‘em.Too bad it's only being shown in Canada on CBC.

Whatever you do, don't get Jason Trachtenburg started on the child actors who played budding musicians in Jack Black's School of Rock.Ho sounds upset that his daugher didn't get the part.
"Did you see that movie?" he says with disbelief. "The drummer is not a fifth-grader!"
Jack Black goes metal at London premiere
You don't need to have to be the sharpest tool in the box to realise that, above all else, Jack Black rocks. He's almost invariably the best thing in any film he's in, he's extraordinarily amusing (though quite possibly mad), and in his latest film, School of Rock he gets to rock for real.He's mad.
Ha Ha.

Ouch.
In 2003, fact outshone fiction at the cinema | csmonitor.com
8. "The School of Rock." The most accessible of Richard Linklater's movies is also the funniest, thanks largely to Jack Black, exploding with energy as a failed rock singer who turns a gaggle of coddled grade-schoolers into his latest steamin' band. Add sparkling performances by Joan Cusack as a wired-up principal and Mike White as the world's geekiest landlord - both totally in tune with Mr. Linklater's split-second comic timing - and you have a laugh-filled jam session that'll melt your face for sure. (See the movie if you're not sure what face-melting is.)#8, #8, we're #8!

He strikes a chord with little rockers in New York.
"Once you put someone in touch with their creativity," he says, "the cheap thrill of destructive behavior becomes less appealing. There's no competition between reaching new heights of creative expression versus breaking a window with a baseball or spraying graffiti."There are schools of rock all over!
Regina's Rock 100 program involves over 60 students from five elementary schools (St. Augustine, St. Joan of Arc, St. Jerome, St. Michael and Sacred Heart) and two high schools (Cochrane High School and Athol Murray College of Notre Dame in Wilcox).Take off, eh?
Teaching kids to rock the boat.
More info on the kids:
No less impressive are the young performers who play the schoolkids. In casting a mix of professionals and first-timers, Linklater says that he wasn't so worried about acting ability - "most kids that age are pretty natural" - but he was keen to get a mix of interesting personalities, and some parts were completely rewritten to suit the character of certain individuals. But musical ability was a casting issue: "We scoured the country looking for prodigy-level musicians. They had to be a real band and had to be able to really play."Cheerio!
This presented a unique opportunity for Robert Tsai, who was discovered playing classical piano at the Lincoln Centre in New York. Taking on the role of the shy and socially under-confident Lawrence, the pre-teen learnt to play in a very different style for the movie - a challenge he took to with a great deal of skill and enthusiasm.

"The School of Rock" is the greatest film of the year. I have seen it twice now, and would love to watch it again. It is a feel-great movie that is perfect for all ages. Your kids will be trading in their Raffi CD's for Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, just the way Dewey Finn would want it. I raise my goblet of rock to you, Jack Black. We salute you.Review by Cameron Casper, a student at West Valley High School.

WIL WHEATON DOT NET: ain't this the life?
The movie was mildly amusing to me, and though I enjoy Jack Black, I think he's better in a supporting role. I got serious Jack Black fatigue after about 40 minutes.Surprising.
