At its core, Stomp the Yard is a romantic drama disguised as a dance film. Or is it the other way around? DJ (Columbus Short) is a troubled teen from Los Angeles who gets a chance for a better life when he is admitted into Atlanta's privileged Truth University. Just when he thought he had escaped a life of gangs, DJ finds himself in the middle of a "war" between two upper-crust fraternities where stepping (a popular dance form) is their weapon of choice. When DJ realizes the coed he falls for is the girlfriend of the school's champion stepper, he joins the rival fraternity to try to show her--and himself--that he's as good as anyone else there. Stomp the Yard is not an original film. Add some drums and you've got Drumline. Change some of the characters around and you've got Save the Last Dance. What sets the movie apart is the stepping. The precision involved at this level is impressively complicated and Short--a dancer and choreographer--is beautifully expressive both as an actor and a dancer. Sure the plot is predictable and hokey at times. But Short and Meagan Good (as his crush April) have wonderful chemistry together, and the supporting cast--including Harry J. Lennix as DJ's no-nonsense uncle--are delightful to watch. --Jae-Ha Kim Stills from Stomp the Yard (click for larger image) Beyond Stomp the Yard on Amazon.com

Good Movie March 5, 2009
Sheila Stimson (Rainier, Oregon United States)
I have not seen this movie yet, but my son has and he love it. I got it for him, not me. My son is 14 years old. He has seen it twice now.
 Never got it to review it. January 27, 2009

 Doing the Right Thing December 16, 2008
Mr. Richard D. Coreno (Berea, Ohio USA)
The choreography is visually impressive and carries a mostly plodding script on tragedy, redemption and the power of friendship/love which centers on DJ Williams (Columbus Short) and his journey from Los Angeles to Truth University in Atlanta.
Williams is torn from his family after an evening that goes terribly wrong - his brother is murdered in the aftermath of an underground krumping competition - and his mother sends him to Atlanta to live with an aunt and uncle.
There is tension on the campus grounds as Williams pursues his love interest, April Palmer (Meagan Good), while attempting to achieve new personal growth, though his talent in dancing may ultimately prove to be the path to triumph.
The morality play has no real twists that would keep the ending in suspense, though the message of doing the right thing - no matter what the odds - is refreshing.

When i purchased this blu-ray, it was listed as brand new. When i received it, the disc came in paper sleeve. The blu-ray had fingerprints on the dics. This was defiantly not brand new. I emailed the seller and never got a response. I would not purchase from this seller again.

I was a little dissappointed when we went to watch the movie and the pitchure was scrambled and frames kept freezing. I cleaned it myself but it didn't do the trick. I felt I got what I paid for. Scamed again?! In one last hope I brought it to Game Craze (I love those guys/gals) they buffed if for me in their high powered machine. That is what it needed a good buffing. They normally charge $[...] for the buffing but I had a free buffing card (cuz I'm such a good customer of there's) so it worked out. So for those of you you buy games, movies, music etc. used beware and take it to a pro before you toss it. I think it's worth it even for the $5.
