When fate brings a streetwise hunk and a beautiful and privileged dancer together, sparks fly on and off the dance floor, igniting an exhilarating tale about realizing your dreams. Filled with dance-inducing original music by Yung Joc, Sean Paul, Chris Brown, Elis, Mario and Ciara. Fans of DIRTY DANCING and FAME will dig the moves in this tale of a sullen young thug named Tyler (Channing Tatum) who winds up doing community service at the Baltimore High School for the Performing Arts. At first he's just smirking and mopping the floors, but then Nora (Jenna Dewan), a talented dancer and choreographer, loses her partner to a fractured ankle mere weeks before the big showcase, and Tyler steps in as her partner. At first he doesn't take it too seriously but then again, he's never had a real chance in life. His best friend from the street (Damaine Radcliff) gets jealous and forces Tyler to decide which side of the tracks he thinks he belongs on. Meanwhile, romance heats up between Tyler and Nora, and there's some side business with the school's hip-hop composer (Mario) falling in love with Nora's hot friend Lucy (Drew Sidora), who is going out with an older man--a successful artist who cheats on her. As far as dramatic steps go, that's all fairly by the numbers, but the performances are strong. (Tatum manages to be charismatic while playing his character like a real high school kid, that is to say, monosyllabically.) The dialogue crackles and the editing is tight, while the big dance climax is, of course, a crowd-pleasing showstopper. Rachel Griffiths (SIX FEET UNDER) plays the school principal. Alyson Stoner connects with some warmth and spontaneity as Tatum's little sister, as does rapper Heavy D in a bit part as a local crime lord. Step Up Reviews: "Tatum has a bracing rectangular naturalness and easy chemistry with the lithe Dewan, on the floor and off." -- Grade: B

And it's great..."-- Tim Cogshell, Box Office 3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he pumping soundtrack, slick dancing and Tatum's charisma generate enough heat to slap a goofy grin on teen girls..."-- Jane Crowther, Total Film "What matters is the dance, magnificently captured in a series of vibrant set pieces, each routine somehow more slick, imaginative and technically perfect than the last."-- Sue Harris, Sight and Sound 3 stars out of 5 -- "[With] some impressive dance sequences and a catchy soundtrack..."-- Natalie Braine, Ultimate DVD Step Up | List Price | $14.99 (You save $4.74) | | Studio | Buena Vista Home Entertainment | | Orig Year | 2006 | | DVD Encoding | Region 1 | | All Time Sales Rank |  9228  | | CD Universe Part number | 7308124 | | Catalog number | 05388600 | | Discs | 1 | | Release Date | Dec 19, 2006 | | Rating | PG-13 (MPAA) | | Rating Reason | for thematic elements, brief violence and innuendo. | | Running Time | 103 Minutes | | Additional Info | Full Frame; Dubbed; Subtitled | | Movie Details | Color; Full Frame; Dubbed; Subtitled |

Danny Boyle (SHALLOW GRAVE, TRANSPOTTING) directs this post-apocalyptic thriller set in London after a deadly, Ebola-like virus has swept through the city. Jim (Cillian Murphy), a bicycle messenger who was in an accident just days before the outbreak, is one of very few survivors who awakes 28 days later to a city that has been evacuated and is now utterly lifeless. He wanders the vacant streets of London feeling as if he's trapped in a never-ending hallucination. However, upon entering a church that is littered with dead bodies, he discovers that he is not alone--"the infected" are still ...
| | Take The Lead DVD (2006)
Step Up review
$7.89 
Mixing elements of sports film, feel-good drama, and teen movie--with a dash of social realism--TAKE THE LEAD is an inspiring tale of transformation through art and sports. Based on a true story, the film centers on the dashing Pierre Dulaine, an idealistic New York City ballroom dancer who was the subject of the runaway documentary hit MAD HOT BALLROOM (2005). After spying the desperate and violent actions of a young and angry high schooler named Rock, Dulaine becomes intent on channeling his talent into the service of troubled youth, and almost immediately approaches Rock's tough but well-meaning high school principal (the always radiant Alfre Woodward) with the idea of teaching ballroom dancing to detention students. Were it not for the fact that this is a story pulled from real life, the premise might ring false; the fact that it actually happened only makes the movie more powerful.
Though at first greeted with the expected disdain and cynicism by his street-hardened students--gang ...

Former porn director Gregory Dark's contemporary B-movie gorefest has all the necessary trappings to leave genre fans satisfied, and others slightly nauseous. The scene is set when a group of juvenile delinquents arrive at a roach-infested ruin of a hotel, where they have agreed to work in exchange for lighter sentences. They are led by a cop who lost his hand four years ago in a struggle with a brutal serial killer whom he killed with a bullet to the head--or so he thought. Now, the very same hulking monster, played by WWE wrestler Kane, haunts the halls of the dilapidated hotel, and with no further ...

Though it's spawned a handful of sequels, it took more than 30 years for Tobe Hooper's ever-potent horror classic to get an "origin" story. Why is Leatherface so angry? Whose face does he wear as a mask? How did his family get their taste for human flesh? A 2003 remake revisited the original film, painted with post-millenial ...

Social filmmaking at its most effective, Keith Beauchamp's documentary THE UNTOLD STORY OF EMMET LOUIS TILL reconstructs the infamously brutal murder of the eponymous 14-year-old African-American boy, which helped to marshal the American Civil Rights Movement.

In director Gregory Hoblit's 2007 thriller, FRACTURE, one thing is clear--highly successful engineer Ted Crawford (Anthony Hopkins) has shot his wife (Embeth Davidtz). What is not clear, though, is how Willy Beachum (Ryan Gosling), an assertive assistant D.A. on the verge signing with a major law firm, will convict Crawford, since the calculating suspect is masterfully exploiting legal loopholes that may keep him a free man. As Beachum becomes more and more determined ...
