For people who got served: Step Up 2 the Streets (Special Edition)
No one really asked for it – 'cept for loads of teenyboppers who kicked and screamed to see Channing Tatum shake it once more on the big screen – but here it is anyway. Step Up 2 the Streets, Flashdance wannabe and sequel to the financially successful Step Up, earned back its supposed $22 million budget and then some at the worldwide box office, accumulating more than $140 million before all was said and done. And for what, to see a young girl (Briana Evigan) work through the ranks to pursue her dream of becoming a respected dancer? Well, yes. And Disney has more where that came from. The Mouse House confirmed earlier this year that a third installment, tentatively titled Step Up 3-D, will hit theaters sometime in the near future. Oh, for the curious, Tatum's role in this one was reduced to a cameo, so cool it.
Disc includes: Deleted scenes, music videos, outtakes, Lead Actor Robert Hoffman Video Prank featurette, Outlaws of Hip Hop featurette, The Making of Step Up 2 featurette.
For people who enjoy watching films originally starring Lindsay Lohan before producers decide to fire her (it's true): Meet Bill
In mere days, Aaron Eckhart faces off against Batman as villain Two-Face in The Dark Knight (!!!)...but first, a word on Meet Bill, a quiet First Look feature the actor starred in just a few months ago. In the comedy, Eckhart plays title character Bill, an unhappy man in need of some self-confidence. Not only does he work a nothing job at his father-in-law's bank, but his wife (Elizabeth Banks) is starting to get just a little too friendly with another man as well. Bill's luck takes a fortunate turn when he becomes a mentor to a young boy (Logan Lerman) who helps steer Bill towards an attractive lingerie saleswoman (Jessica Alba) and other self-improvements. Though a darling at the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival, everyone and their mom didn't go and see this one in theaters – eek, just $62,000 and change against a $5 million budget. So now's your chance to go and make First Look just a little bit happier.
Disc includes: bare bones.
