The first HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL movie to be released straight to the silver screen, HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3 finds the cast of the beloved earlier installments, all students at East High, dealing with the ups and downs of senior year. While all the characters have their own dilemmas, the central issue, as in past films, is the relationship between sweethearts Troy (Zac Efron), the captain of East High's Wildcats basketball team, and the bookish Gabriella (Vanessa Hudgens), who face the possibility of imminent separation when Gabriella gets a chance to attend college early. With this third outing in the wildly popular Disney series, director Kenny Ortega takes full advantage of HSM3's big-screen leap, staging musical numbers that go far beyond the scope of the movie's predecessors (see the lavish "I Want It All" by resident East High diva Sharpay, played by Ashley Tisdale). While the series regulars are in fine form and a few new characters are introduced, the film really belongs to Efron, who gets the most screen time and is clearly on a trajectory for stardom beyond HSM. Rather than hold back their budding leading man, the creators and producers of HSM3 let Efron take the spotlight, much to the movie's advantage. Designed to welcome the few viewers who might be unfamiliar with HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL, SENIOR YEAR certainly offers plenty of valedictory excitement, and will leave fans giddy with delight.

After a nearly five-year hiatus, international superstar Michael Jackson followed up the multi-platinum success of BAD with his hardhitting 1991 album DANGEROUS. A gutsy opus of dance-oriented pop, DANGEROUS spawned an ambitious world tour that broke previous attendance records and took Jackson to the newly democratized cities of Eastern-bloc Europe. This highly rated HBO special captures Jackson on the DANGEROUS tour with a complete concert recorded in Bucharest, Romania, on October 1, 1992, blazing through an energetic set that includes dazzling live performances of album hits like "Heal the World" and "Black or White" as well as older classics "Billie Jean," "Beat It," "Man in the Mirror," and more.

Shot in Salzburg against the majestic Bavarian Alps, THE SOUND OF MUSIC is considered one of the greatest screen musicals ever made. Winner of five Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director (Robert Wise), the film, based on a real family and their true events, tells the story of a young postulate, Maria (Julie Andrews), who, after proving too high-spirited for the Mother Abess and other nuns, is sent off to work as a governess to seven unruly children. The Von Trapp family is run, in military style, by the seemingly cold-hearted Captain Von Trapp (Christopher Plummer), a lonely widowed naval officer. Seeing how badly he and his children need companionship, he proposes to the Baroness Schraeder (Eleanor Parker), a calculating, mutual friend of beloved family friend Max Detweiler (Richard Haydn). It is the baroness who soon realizes that it's Maria--with her warmth and love for the children--the captain really loves. It is nearly bliss for the newly formed family who loves to sing together--except for the cloud looming over their beloved Austrian horizon: Hitler is ascending to power, forcing Von Trapp to decide whether to join the Nazi party--which he loathes--or force his family to leave their home forever. One of the most memorable scores ever written (by Rodgers and Hammerstein) and breathtaking performances by Andrews, Plummer, and the seven children mark this classic as one of the world's most favorite films.

Widely credited as the godfather of the jazz fusion movement that gained prominence in the 1960s and 70s, Larry Coryell is a guitar master whose skills and legacy are the stuff of legend. His virtuosity has been showcased in many contexts, notably with his band, Eleventh House, and later playing on Charles Mingus's TWO OR THREE SHADES OF BLUE. Here, Coryell joins forces with two other formidable musicians, Brazilian guitarist and singer Badi Assad, and the great American jazz guitarist John Abercrombie. In a show that was part of Paris's New Morning Festival in 2004, the Americans play a rare acoustic set, flavored with Latin tunes ("Seu Jerge E Dona Icam," "Insensatez") and a cover of "Ralph's Piano Waltz."

Notorious punk rockers Dwarves are legendary for their violent onstage antics as well as their eclectic music, which shows the influence of everything from hardcore and pop punk to hip hop. And then there are, of course, the band's notoriously sexy album covers. Often found offensive, the group is also responsible for one of the greatest hoaxes of rock n' roll, staging the death of singer HeWhoCannotBeNamed, only to resurrect him for the release of 1997's YOUNG AND GOOD LOOKING; the prank caused the band to be dropped from the Sub Pop roster. Having included in their ever-revolving roster of collaborators Dexter Holland (Offspring), Black Josh Freese (Vandals, Perfect Circle), Spike (Me First, Gimmie Gimmies), DJ Marz, Luke Sick, and members of the Swingin' Utters, and Queens of the Stoneage among many others, the group has also contributed to soundtracks for films such as GHOST WORLD and ME, MYSELF AND IRENE. The performance featured here, filmed at the Continental Club in New York City in 2004, shows the band out in full force, playing such favorites as "Dominator," "Relentless," "You Gotta Burn," "Astroboy," and "Unrepentant." Also included are music videos for "Over You," "We Must Have Blood," "Bleed On," "Pimp," and "Way Out."

Based on the hit Disney television show, HANNAH MONTANA/MILEY CYRUS: BEST OF BOTH WORLDS CONCERT TOUR 3-D provides dedicated fans an all-access pass to the Best of Both Worlds concert tour. Leaving behind character Miley Stewart, the concert instead splits time between pop phenom Hannah Montana and Cyrus, who assumes the role of Montana's "ordinary girl" alter ego. Footage of the concert is interspersed with numerous behind-the-scene vignettes. Among these are pre-tour rehearsals--orchestrated by HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL impresario Kenny Ortega--and a touching jam session with father Billy Ray Cyrus. Also included are ecstatic fan testimonials and the film's most humorous moment, in which fathers race each other in high-heeled shoes for the chance to win concert tickets and backstage passes. Montana/Cyrus is joined on stage by the Jonas Brothers, who whip up the crowd with their own brand of high-energy pop. The film employs most of its 3-D tricks in the opening credits then pulls back the reins to focus on giving viewers the next best thing to actually being at the show. Filled with fist-pumping anthems ("Girls Night Out," "Nobody's Perfect," and the title track), BEST OF BOTH WORLDS remains true to the television show's dual personality theme: through good times and bad, every girl is her own superstar. For fans and parents alike, it's a wholesome and empowering message wrapped up in pure infectious fun.
