Stomp the Yard
DJ Williams is an acclaimed street dancer in his native Los Angeles. After winning a heated battle between a rival team, along with a lucrative cash prize, he is robbed and beaten – alongside his brother Duron. While DJ left the brawl relatively unscathed, Duron was not so fortunate and suffered fatal injuries. Despite his brother’s death DJ still faced charges for his role in the fight; rather than spend time in juvenile hall, his mother sends him to live with his aunt and uncle in Atlanta, where he will attend the prestigious, and historically black Truth University. On the first day of school he meets April, a highly attractive female student who is unfortunately spoken for by an upperclassman named Grant. In order to get closer to April, the freshman signs up to be tutored by his love interest. Eventually he steals her away from Grant, but not without some struggle in between. While at school DJ encounters a style of dance he has never seen before known as stepping. While he is impressed by its choreography, its traditional, highly structured form bothers him. After demoing his take on step dancing at a local club, he is soon scouted by two of Truth’s most prominent fraternities: the Theta Nu Theta and Mu Gamma Xi. Eventually DJ pledges the Theta Nu Theta, and teaches its crew how to integrate some fresh, new Hip-Hop influenced dance moves into their routines. Unfortunately the Gamma Xi have been secretly videotaping the Theta’s rehearsals, preparing to steal all of the fraternity’s moves at an upcoming competition. College life is so far rewarding for DJ but not for long. His seedy past back in Los Angeles will come back to haunt him, resulting in his dismissal from Truth and a breakup with April. Stomp the Yard was filmed with a meager budget of $13 million, yet managed to gross a whopping $75 million across the globe. Due to its success a sequel is already in the works, and is slated for release in September 2010. The soundtrack was also highly profitable, featuring artists such as Pitbull, E-40, Chris Brown, Ne-Yo and many more. Rating: Rated PG-13 for a scene of violence, some sexual material, and explicit language.

Night At The Museum
Both children and adults will enjoy the fun and imagination this picture brings, where a nighttime security guard must supervise a living museum that only comes out at night, and spans the entire history of man – in addition to some of its prehistoric animals. Ben Stiller plays Larry Daley, a divorced father and well-meaning failure. Intending to meet his son Nick for a game of hockey, the nearly bankrupt Daley discovers a boot on his vehicle due to unpaid parking tickets, thus making him miss his appointment. Ashamed of disappointing Nick, Larry makes a failed effort to reach his son, only to discover that his ex-wife’s boyfriend has taken him home. To add insult to injury, Nick informs his dad that he no longer wants to play hockey, but that he wants to become a bond trader “like his mother’s boyfriend.” Larry has another problem: he is about to be evicted from his Queens apartment, and it’s not the first time it has happened. Embarrassed and ashamed to fail Nick once again, Larry heads to the unemployment agency to find work and subsequently pay his back rent. Upon showing his resume to an assistant she is befuddled and unable to find even the most menial job for him. Before being kicked out of her office, Larry begs the unemployment assistant to find him any job possible. Reluctantly, she connects him with The New York Museum of Natural History and comments that while she has sent them numerous applicants, all of them were refused. Desperate for employment Larry rushes to the museum; surprisingly, he receives a warm welcome from the former guards and begins work the next night. Strangely, however, Cecil (Dick Van Dyke) warns him not to let anything out of the museum and hands him an instruction manual. Larry begins his shift not by reading the instruction manual, but by taking a nap. He awakes to strange noises down the hall and discovers a dinosaur alive and drinking from a water fountain. When the dinosaur sees Larry it begins chasing him as he runs throughout the museum, learning that at night all of the exhibits come alive. He futility references his instruction manual, only to have it snatched from his hands by a mischievous monkey. Vowing to quit the next day, Larry instead decides to give it another shot, and soon begins to bond with everyone from Attila the Hun (Patrick Gallagher) to Theodore Roosevelt (Robin Williams). However the rookie watchman will eventually discover that nights at the museum are not all fun and games. A Night at the Museum is rated PG for mild action, language, and brief rude humor.
