For those who can't get enough of Glee, Universal Studios created an out-loud musical, Pitch Perfect which acclaimed to be a successful hit in 2012 alongside with Step Up Revolution. The story of Pitch Perfect is revolving around a girl Beca, which is portrayed by Anna Kendrick (if you have no idea, who Anna Kendrick is – just remember Rosie from Twilight Saga and you will get a clue). In Pitch Perfect, Anna plays a music-addicted teenager who just arrived to her new college and seems to be mismatch for any clique there. Nevertheless, she herds a group of mean and weird girls that are climbing their way to the heights of recognition as college acappella. Fortunately, Beca features a strong and beautiful vocal talent which will be certainly very helpful in their music battle against male acappella of the college. Namely around that battle most of the Pitch Perfect action revolves.

Filmed by Chris Stokes with quite moderate even for musical budget of 15.000.000 USD, Battlefield America tells us a story about the hopeless pre-teens that were turned into the professional dance team by the young entrepreneur. You may be familiar with Chris Stokes' "You Got Served", and that means you know what to expect from this movie, because they have lots of similarities both in filming style and in energy of performance. The movie also features many new faces (which is not surprising, taking into consideration the limited budget). Among newbies we have Christian Ijin Link, Camren Bicondova, Chris Trousdale, Christopher Jones, Zach Belandres, Kida Burns and Tristen M. Carter. The rest of the cast may be known to you. Lynn Whitfield which is playing Mrs. Parker is a co-producer of The Redemption of a Dog, and actress played Glenda Hill in 2008 year movie "The Women". Another more-or-less known actor is Marques Houston who played Elgin in the abovementioned "You Got Served". It worth to mention another member of the cast - Valarie Pettiford filmed in Battlefield America as Ms. Williams. You can remember this talented actress as Aunt Geneva from Jumping the Broom.
