Sierra College As the lights dim and you sink into the plush seats of this custom theater designed and installed by Elite Custom Audio & Video, it's easy to forget that a few steps outside the door are the halls of academia. College students make their way to and from classes, yet inside this custom-designed theater at Mt. Sierra College in Monrovia, California, the hustle and bustle of a normal school day is shut out of sight and mind while film students take in a screening of the latest masterworks by one of the school's next Spielbergs in training. The theater not only serves as a classroom and a screening room for the students and faculty of the film school, it is also an art gallery for the graphic arts students. Elite installed special accent lighting so that the students' projects can be hung on the wall and featured for everyone to see. A neutral gray color scheme with dark wooden accents in the room makes a perfect blank canvas for any artwork that is hung on the walls. Knowing that the pieces would frequently be rotated in and out, Elite created custom brackets that attach to the frames or matte boards and then slide into place on the wall. They are sturdy enough to stay in place when the subwoofer is really shaking things up, but are easy to remove without damaging the artwork. The recessed lights that are controlled by a Lutron Graphic Eye make perfect accent lights for the artwork and can also be customized for various lighting scenes, depending on the needs of the staff and students...

Unlike huge faceless corporations, Sunfire is the unique, personal vision of one audio genius, Bob Carver. Most audio geniuses would be content to have founded just two landmark audio companies. But after creating Phase Linear and Carver Corporation, Bob still had more innovative technology in his system. He wanted to express these ideas in meticulously-built, premium audio products that would offer exceptional value and sound quality. And that's what you get when you buy Sunfire. A great product from the mind and soul of Bob Carver.

So it is with "Sky High." Virtue: it's a comedy about a high school for super heroes. Defect: it's a high school comedy about a school for super heroes. That is, while it's partly an amusing, likeable take on the idea of super heroes at a high school designed for them, the storyline is altogether too familiar: the same basic plot, minus super powers, was being used in silent movies and came to flower with the Andy Hardy movies of the 30s and 40s. Entire sitcoms, lots of them, have been built on the same soshes vs. geeks/sports stars vs. nerds dichotomies. "Sky High" falls into the sports stars vs. nerds category of high school comedies. Screenwriters Paul Hernandez and the team of Bob Schooley & Mark McCorkle come up with many bright ideas, and unlike the majority of other writers doing this sort of thing actually have some fun with language itself. Dad Kurt Russell assures son Will that "You will, Will!" That's just a tossaway line - there's no pause for laughs - but does indicate that these guys hear their own dialogue and know its value. They continue to throw away lines throughout the movie: in the high school cafeteria, we can barely overhear the announcement that sidekicks shouldn't order hero sandwiches.)...

Freaky Friday Although offering nothing really new in the ages-old miscommunication and lack of mutual understanding between mothers and daughters, as well as being a remake of an earlier movie, "Freaky Friday" delivers an enjoyable take on the issue and on the role-reversal plot device that has become something of a standard, in one form or another, of teen movies. In 2003, Disney Studios came in second place for the most box office proceeds, and "Freaky Friday" got the nod for being a major contributor to that ranking. Dr. Tess Coleman (Jamie Lee Curtis), widow and mother of two, has found a man she believes she can share the rest of her life with. Unfortunately, she's stressed out by the wedding plans and her job as a psychiatric counselor. Anna (Lindsay Lohan), her teenage daughter, struggles daily with school where she deals with a rival, an English teacher with an obvious grudge, trying to keep her rock band together, and getting to meet one of the hottest guys in school. Both women arrive at major turning points in their lives and, through a bit of magic, end up having to face those turning points in each other's bodies.

In true Disney fashion regarding one of their mega-hits, the House of Mouse delivers a jam-packed two-disc collection that contains the movie in widescreen, boosted to 5.1 Dolby Digital, with extras and games galore. The most shining performance in the whole movie is Robin Williams' portrayal of the genie of the lamp. Although the story still flows in a more or less formulaic style and gets pretty much from Point A to Point B in a tidy and quick fashion, the genie proves to be the wild card. During "A Diamond In The Rough: The Making of 'Aladdin'," viewers are treated to comments and some information concerning Williams' characterization of the mystical being with the ability to grant the possessor of the lamp three wishes. Williams performed the script he was given, but went way beyond anyone's expectations when he started ad-libbing dialogue and responses, outlining whole skits that could conceivably be shoehorned into the movie...
