July’s DVD of the month set to come out on July 15th, 2008 is Step Up 2 ; The Streets. If you loved the first one the second one even better with incredible dance moves. The acting is a little amateurish but it is quite offset by the dancing which is displayed all throughout the movie. The two main characters Andie (Briana Evigan) and Chase (Robert Hoffman) pair up and put together a dance crew made up of the school rejects and prepare to dance up a storm at the Streets competition. Here they will try to prove to everybody that you don’t have to fit a certain mold to be able to dance.
This movie was great considering that I am a very big dance enthusiast, however the acting was not the greatest…it was a little cheezy at times and the actors didn’t seem to be acting naturally rather they looked slightly robotic.
This movie receives 4 popcorns out of a possible 5!
The Love Guru, Mike Myers, how does he come up with this stuff! The story line isn’t bad, it filled with its twist and turns but nothing comes as a surprise. I did enjoy Justin Timberlake’s impersonation of a French Canadian who is in love with Celine Dion though, that was pure comedy!
There were some very funny moments in the movie, and some slower parts where I asked myself why in the world did I pay to see this movie, but it was overall entertaining. I appreciated it overall.
Let me put it to you this way, The Love Guru is very similar in nature to Austin Powers, he is just another stupid character that comes out with some great jokes but the fact remains that the movie itself is pure stupidity.
Jessica Alba, you are pretty, but comedy is definitely not your thing! Stick to the things you know!

Vantage Point comes out on DVD in the week of June 30th and is my pick for the DVD of the month! Now if you haven’t seen it yet…do not get frustrated when the story starts over and over again…it’s just that you see the event that happens in the perspective of the different people who witnessed it. I think that this movie was quite different and whats great about it is that you truly only appreciate the originality at the very end!
The movie is packed with action and suspense as the lives of different people are intertwined as they witness and are subject to terrorism!
Dennis Quaid, Matthew Fox, and Forest Whitaker were excellent in it along with all the other actors that participated.
