    Harmless fodder for the American Idol generation but somewhat mind-numbing for the rest of us, Make it Happen... read more on Time Out

    Dance-Tastic!

    At first i thought it was just going to be another wannabe dancer type film who finally makes it but actually i was suprised. This one had a little more edge to it.

    Yes it is the typical storyline but it was so much more. This one had the passion of the dance it portayed and you could feel it. The burlesque type dancing is its own genre and i thought that the film portrayed this particular style very well with some great routines and well trained dancers, it' definatly one to watch.

    You will like this if your a fan of Honey, Save the last dance, Stop the Yard, How she move etc. which are also some great films.

    seriously.. this is the worst dance film ever

    I love every dance chick flick! I watch them all the time. U name it. I got it!!!

    Now this is a really bad film and disappointed with this film. I lost interest and was so pleased when it was over!. I never thought I would say that about a dance film. it was more like a mock of all the other films, such as step up2, save the last dance etc etc.

    This girl really can't dance. I buy them after i have rented them and put them on 4 a girly night! this 1 I am not going to buy, or watch again.. Don't waste your rental!!!

    The Mummy no match for Batman

    • 13 Aug 2008

    The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor has not been able to claim the top spot on the UK box office from The Dark Knight. Starring Brendan Fraser, the movie went straight in at number two, having made some £2.9 million during its opening weekend. However, The Dark Knight still sits at the top for the third week, with takings of more than £4 million. After an underwhelming first week, the new X-Files film has now slipped back to tenth place. Batman is refusing to be toppled, with X-Files Read more
