 | | 17. 17 Again | | | Starring: Zac Efron Matthew Perry Director: Adam Shankman | | Format: DVD Release Date: 8/11/2009 |  | 17 Again - DVD Review By: Blake French - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 7/31/2009 7:48 PM | |
Zac Efron takes a lot of heat for singing high-pitched tunes and prancing around on basketball courts in the High School Musical movies, but in 17 Again he finally gets to prove that he's more than Disney's poster boy. Here, he plays Mike O'Donnell, a 17-year-old high school senior with a basketball scholarship on the horizon (not exactly a stretch for the actor). When he discovers that his girlfriend, Scarlett, is pregnant, he finds himself having to choose between marrying her and pursuing college athletics. He chooses the girl.

 | | 27. Sabrina the Teenage Witch-5th Season | | | Starring: Beth Broderick Caroline Rhea | | Format: DVD Release Date: 2/17/2009 | | Sabrina the Teenage Witch Season - The Fifth Season - DVD Review By: Mark Kalriess - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 3/24/2009 10:05 PM | | For those who have never seen the show, here is quick overview. Sabrina Spellman (played by Melissa Joan Hart) is half-mortal and half-witch. She is sent to live with her two aunts, Aunt Hilda (Caroline Rhea) and Aunt Zelda (Beth Broderick), during high school. Her aunts have a talking cat, Salem Saberhagen (Nick Bakay) who was formerly a witch and has been imprisoned as a cat. On Sabrina’s sixteenth birthday, she found out that she was a witch. The show deals with Sabrina trying to balance her regular life as a teenage girl with her life as a witch. Many of the episodes follow the same formula. Sabrina has a small problem, tries to fix it with magic, makes everything worse, and then asks her aunts for help. read the full review | |

 | | 36. Hannah Montana: The Movie (DVD+Blu-ray+Digital Copy) | | | Starring: Miley Cyrus Billy Ray Cyrus Director: Peter Chelsom | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 8/18/2009 | | Hannah Montana: The Movie - Blu-Ray DVD Review By: Ed Perkis - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 8/14/2009 1:15 PM | | Its not like Disney is going to kill the golden goose by having a Hannah Montana movie be anything but a bigger version of the television show. It would have been more interesting, however, to do SOMETHING different or unique or daring with the character. Instead, the G-rated good times include lots of falling off ladders, falling into hay piles, falling off horses, and ferrets running up the mayors pants leg...seriously. In between, Miley gets into trouble by never acting rationally or intelligently in any situation. read the full review | |

 | | 39. Hannah Montana the Movie | | | Starring: Miley Cyrus Billy Ray Cyrus Director: Peter Chelsom | | Format: DVD Release Date: 8/18/2009 | | Hannah Montana: The Movie - DVD Review By: Sean O'Connell - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 8/7/2009 7:48 PM | |
Hannah Montana: The Movie acted as my official introduction to the identity crisis that is Miley Cyrus and her pop-music-powered alter ego. I have two boys, after all. The farthest we've ventured down Disney's empowered-female food chain is Kim Possible (which, for the record, deserves its own live-action film adaptation in the vein of Tomb Raider, yet better). But now, at least, I understand the hoopla surrounding this spunky, cool, and charismatic young performer. Her overly produced musical anthems aren't my cup of tea, but I get why so many people line up to drink what she's serving. read the full review | |

 | | 43. Fly Away Home (Special Edition) | | | Starring: Anna Paquin Director: Carroll Ballard | | Format: DVD Release Date: 12/21/2004 | | Fly Away Home - DVD Review By: Bradley Null - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 3/27/2009 5:36 PM | |
Anna Paquin's first starring role after stealing an Oscar for The Piano is the harmless family movie Fly Away Home. Following in the footsteps of countless family movies before it, Fly Away Home tries too hard to appeal to both children and their parents and ultimately loses much of its appeal to everybody.
In case you missed the movie's trailer, which provides a nice plot synopsis, Fly Away Home is about a teenage girl (Paquin) from New Zealand who moves in with her Canadian father (Jeff Daniels) after her mother dies. The young girl is utterly bored and lonely until she finds a family of young goose eggs (eventually geese) to take care of. read the full review | |

What is it about sports that makes us snap to attention? It’s been a good 12 years since Steve James went and blew everyone’s mind with Hoop Dreams, and we’re still obsessed with sports as tool for personal triumph. Although, it hasn’t gone all-too-well with narratives (I offer Glory Road, Remember the Titans, and For Love of the Game into evidence) but as far as documentaries go, the reputation seems pretty untarnished. Audiences, for quite some time, love the idea of the underdog winning and society has been grateful enough to give us plenty of stories to turn into tear-drenched sentiment and well-meaning Channel 6 special reports. Ward Serrill knows this, but his documentary isn’t unforgivable tear jerking, at least not completely. read the full review | |
