Movie Highlights
My Dog Skip – Who says best friends have to be human? Not Willie Morris (Frankie Muniz), who receives a talented terrier named Skip for his birthday. With Skip's remarkable and unconventional help, Willie and Skip turn bullies into friends, tangle with hapless moonshiners, and even win the affections of the prettiest girl in school. Also starring Diane Lane, Luke Wilson and Kevin Bacon.
Sally Marshall Is Not An Alien – A young girl takes it upon herself to stop a vicious rumour about her new best friend in this Australian comedy. Pip isn't like the other kids she knows – she's smart, serious and likes to watch the skies with her prized telescope. Rhonnie, a mean-spirited girl, doesn't much like Pip and doesn't care who knows it. But when Sally Marshall moves into town with her dark glasses and grown-up books, Rhonnie discovers someone who bothers her even more. Pip sets out to prove to Rhonnie that there’s nothing extra terrestrial about her new friend, Sally.
Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen – When Mary "Lola" Steppe's divorced mother relocates her family from trendy New York City to urban Dellwood, New Jersey, Lola (Lindsay Lohan) feels out of place and decides to try out for the lead in the school play against the most popular girl in the school, Carla Santini (Megan Fox). Chaos ensues as the girls try to outdo each other at a concert for Lola's favourite rock group.
High School Musical 2 Sing Along Version – Viewers can sing along to their favourite songs with their favourite stars during High School Musical 2 Sing Along Version. School breaks for the summer and Sharpay (Ashley Tisdale) schemes to tear Troy (Zac Efron) and Gabriella (Vanessa Hudgens) apart by getting him a job at her parents’ country club. But Troy has other ideas and, in an attempt to keep his Wildcat friends together for the summer, manages to get them all hired.
