 | | 4. Freedom Writers (Widescreen) | | | Starring: Hilary Swank Imelda Staunton | | Format: DVD Release Date: 1/27/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | Freedom Writers - DVD Review By: Rafe Telsch - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 4/11/2007 11:20 AM | | There's no arguing that Freedom Writers is an inspirational story. The film gives teachers yet another role model to look up to and strive to be. It also shows the downside of being the devoted teacher Gruwell was: divorce, administrative battles, etc. Perhaps by centering the movie around the teacher instead of the students, Freedom Writers dodges the bullet of portraying teaching as a completely idyllic occupation. Yes, teachers can make a difference, but the costs can be equally high read the full review | |

 | | 21. Summer School | | | Starring: Courtney Thorne-Smith Kirstie Alley Director: Carl Reiner | | Format: DVD Release Date: 5/22/2007 |  | Summer School - DVD By: Christopher Null - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 5/11/2007 5:12 PM | |
Summer School is a lame and obvious stunt piece, but damn if it doesn't know it. Mark Harmon's a lazy teacher stuck with the worst students in school for summer classes. Eventually he's tasked with getting them to pass The Big Test, only to find that they're completely unmotivated and that one of them is totally illiterate. In fact, his job is on the line if they fail. read the full review | |

 | | 34. High School Musical (Encore Edition) | | | Starring: Alyson Reed Corbin Bleu Director: Kenny Ortega | | Format: DVD Release Date: 12/26/2008 | User Rating: 5 |  | High School Musical - DVD By: Christopher Null - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 11/24/2006 7:28 PM | | What began as (I'm guessing) a made-for-the-Disney-Channel TV movie is now a DVD, perfect for those Sweet Sixteens and slumber parties where pink-clad thespians can ask who's cuter: Vanessa or Ashley, or whether Vanessa and Zac are right for each other, or who on the basketball team is the absolute dreamiest. read the full review | |

How exactly does one movie "present" another movie? I'm not sure exactly when American Pie became a cultural juggernaut, but I do know when it started to suck: Right after the second movie came out. Now in its fifth installment, the once cheeky Pie has become about as funny as a late-stage Porky's sequel, just biding time until the producers can no longer find girls willing to spend 90 minutes topless and kids willing to pay $20 to watch them. read the full review | |
