 | | 16. 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.

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 | |

 | | 19. Parker Lewis Cant Lose-Season One | | | | Format: DVD Release Date: 6/30/2009 | | Parker Lewis Can't Lose - The Complete First Season - DVD Review By: Blake Matthews - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 6/29/2009 12:52 PM | | Parker Lewis Can’t Lose was a series that aired from 1990 through 1993 on the FOX network. The series followed Parker Lewis (Corin Nemic) and his “buds,” fellow classmate Mikey Randall (Billy Jayne) and freshman Jerry Steiner (Troy W. Slaten) whose various plots and money-making opportunities have made them the guys to know throughout the school. The buds' nemeses are school principal Grace Musso (Melanie Chartoff) and her student underlings, Frank Lemmer (Taj Johnson) and Parker’s little sister Shelly (Maia Brewton), who are trying to get Parker in detention or expelled. Throw in 6'7" giant Larry Kubiac (Abraham Benrubi) who would as soon as kill you for touching his lunch as helping the buds out for a Kubie-snack and has the catchphrase “Eat now?” and it’s no wonder this show achieved cult status very quickly. read the full review | |

 | | 20. Secret Life of the American Teenager-2nd Season | | | | Format: DVD Release Date: 12/26/2009 | | The Secret Life of the American Teenager - Season Two - DVD Review By: The Other Chad - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 6/23/2009 10:20 AM | | The Secret Life of the American Teenager: Season Two is now available on DVD, and the show remains a watchable mess. While it tackles weighty issues such as teen pregnancy, promiscuity, divorce, and child abuse, there is such a hefty dose of broad comedy mixed in that sometimes the balance is uncomfortable. Just as in the first season, the acting from the very large ensemble cast is still wildly uneven. Additionally, the writing leaves something to be desired, with undeveloped themes resulting in lost potential. Even so, every now and then, a moment of poignancy arises. read the full review | |

 | | 33. Donnie Darko | | | Starring: Jake Gyllenhaal Jena Malone Director: Richard Kelly | | Format: DVD Release Date: 8/6/2009 | | Donnie Darko - DVD Review By: Annette Cardwell - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 1/30/2009 4:47 PM | |
Donnie Darko is a writer-director’s debut that takes on schizophrenia, time travel, teenage angst, dysfunctional suburban family life, societal farce, and hallucinations of an evil bunny in a gorgeously filmed two-hour package deserves serious props. But Richard Kelly’s fascinating film is seriously flawed in that it never brings all these disparate elements together in the end. Not to mention that it bears the worst title of the year. read the full review | |
