STEP UP

Incredible dancing and awesome music fuel Step Up, the exhilarating and inspiring movie starring Channing Tatum (She's The Man) who sizzles as Tyler Gage, a rough and streetwise hunk with raw talent.

YOU GOT SERVED

Hot off the streets it's the official learn-the-dance-moves DVD from the creators of the hit feature film 'You Got Served'! Learn the pops, locks, flips, freezes and all the moves you loved from the movie. Hip-hop superstars Marques Houston and Omari Grandberry make a special appearance to check out choreographer Dave Scott along with Christopher Jones, Robert James Hoffman III and a team of athletes who break it down and show you how to drop it like it's hot, just like they do in the streets! Written, produced and directed by Billy Pollina, producer of 'You Got Served'.

SUDCs review: Brilliant dancing and choreograghy froom Dave Scott but the story of the film and the acting is not good but you do find yourself winding to the next chapter for the next dance battle.

THIS IS IT

Michael Jackson's This Is It is a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the performer as he developed, created and rehearsed for his sold-out concerts at London's O2 Arena.

Chronicling the months from April through June 2009, this film was produced with the full support of the Estate of Michael Jackson and drawn from more than one hundred hours of behind-the-scenes footage, featuring Jackson rehearsing a number of his songs for the show. In raw and candid detail, Michael Jackson's This Is It captures the singer, dancer, filmmaker, architect, creative genius and great artist at work as he creates and perfects his planned final London shows.

SUDCs review: Brilliant dancing from some of the top dancers and the King of pop at his best.
