Actors: Alex Binder, Max Lerner (II), Dwam 'Repete' Smith, Ross Wilson (VIII), Rush Propst DescriptionWelcome to Hoover, Alabama, where football is a way of life. "Two-A-Days" follows the 2005 football season of the Hoover High School Buccaneers of Hoover, Alabama as they chase their fourth state championship title in five years while also balancing the normal pressures of being high school seniors. Amazon.comIt's the opposite of Freaks and Geeks. MTV's documentary series Two-A-Days is a look at the lives of the popular kids, the varsity football players and cheerleaders of Alabama's Hoover High. If the film-turned-TV program Friday Night Lights is fiction that feels like fact, Two-A-Days takes the fiction out of that equation. The show spends an entire season with the Buccaneers--two practices every day. At the start of 2005, the Bucs are in the midst of a 23-game winning streak. That can't last forever. It doesn't. As in the NBC drama, the town revolves around football, which adds to the stress level, i.e. when the Bucs lose, the community mourns. The primary players are Ross (quarterback), Repete (defensive end), Goose (defensive tackle), and Max and narrator Alex (safetys). As Alex notes in the pilot ("Kickoff"), "At Hoover, football is like a religion and the players on our high school team are celebrities." The top dog is tough-talking head coach Rush Propst, who gives R. Lee Ermey's Full Metal Jacket drill sergeant a run for the money. They're a charismatic bunch, but it's too bad gentle giant Bryan, a band member during the off-season, gets such short shrift. In the first season (the series was renewed for a second), the players deal with injuries, demanding parents, and suspicious girlfriends. They ease the pressure with pranks and parties. Their biggest pressure: Will the Buccaneers win their fourth consecutive state championship or will they let personal problems get in the way? The answer comes in the eighth episode ("One Last Game"). The ninth ("What Next?") wraps up the rest of the year, while the third disc ("Overtime") features highlights, outtakes, and promo spots. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Actors: Mike Judge, Don Hertzfeldt DescriptionRenowned animators Mike Judge and Don Hertzfeldt present, The Animation Show, showcasing some of the world’s best short films. This 2-disc DVD set features 20 celebrated animated short films personally selected by Judge, himself an animation festival veteran, and Academy Award nominated* animator Hertzfeldt. Included in the collection are Academy Award nominees "The Cathedral", "The Rocks" and "Mt. Head", as well as Mike Judge’s own "Early Pencil Tests and Other Experiments." * 2001 Animated Short Film Academy Award for "Rejected" Amazon.comCompiled by Mike Judge (Beavis and Butt-head) and Don Hertzfeldt (Rejected), The Animation Show brought short films back to the big screen. Once upon a time, that's how the public got to experience them. Now, they're relegated to film fests, public television, and the internet. It's better than nothing, of course, but they used to be treated like "real movies." For those who missed these works in theaters--or to preserve the experience for posterity--this collection presents most of the first two programs (Vol. 3 is on the way). The lineup includes five Academy Award nominees, Mt. Head, The Cathedral, Fifty Percent Grey, Guard Dog, and When the Day Breaks. A diverse array of nationalities and techniques are on display. Locations range from America to Australia, while approaches range from pen and ink to B&W stop-motion. Highlights will vary from person to person, but notable entries include Adam Elliot's droll Brother/Cousin/Uncle trilogy, Judge's "Early Pencil Tests and Other Experiments" (including an Office Space prequel), Alex Budovsky's jaunty Bathtime in Clerkenwell, Peter Cornwell's fast-paced Ward 13, and Hertzfeldt's absurdist Billy's Balloon (the Oscar-nominated animator also provides a few bumpers). A labor of love for all concerned, this Animation Show set combines 20 films with numerous extras, like commentaries, storyboards, production galleries, a booklet of artist profiles, and a feature on the history of the animated short. --Kathleen C.

Actors: Joseph Simmons, Angela Simmons, Daniel Simmons, Russell Simmons Jr., Justine Simmons Product DescriptionWhere has Reverend Run been? He s had his hands full with his lovely wife his three sons and two daughters. When Rev Run s not keeping the peace at home he s busy keeping the faith in church oh and making a comeback album! Roll with Rev Run and fam in his reality sitcom. Who s house? Run s house! Comparable TitlesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating: RP UPC: 097368031746 Manufacturer No: 803174 Amazon.comIt's difficult for music fans to think of their idols as anything but hard-partying, wild rock stars. But take a look at Rev. Run (formerly of the rap group Run-DMC) and what you see today is a cool dad exasperated and amused by his children, who probably are much more tame than he was at their age. The two-season collection of the reality TV series Run's House has more in common with NBC's fictional The Cosby Show than MTV's previous reality offering The Osbournes. Sure, Run and his wife Justine (a former MC herself) are hipper than Cliff and Claire Huxtable. But each episode is filled with as much sweetness and patience as wacky shenanigans, with Run and Justine interacting with their children (JoJo, Diggy, Russy, Angela, and Vanessa) in a surprisingly normal way. The debut episode focuses on the high-school graduation of his youngest daughter. To celebrate her big day, Angela wants a big splashy, over-the-top party (like the kind showcased on MTV's My Super Sweet 16). Her ideal budget? A cool million bucks that'll take care of fireworks, a swag bag with iPods for her friends, a live DJ, etc. Never mind that Run doesn't make that kind of money anymore. You get the sense that even if he did, he'd still have enough sense to say no. He and Justine still spend about $6,000 on her party and surprise her with a new Mercedes. But by celeb standards, that's downright understated. And thanks to his connections, plenty of celebrities pop up on the show, including his brother Russell Simmons and Russell's glamazon then-wife Kimora Lee Simmons, who hires one of Run's kids to work for her Baby Phat fashion line. Many of the show's most poignant moments occur when Run and Russy interact. Knowing that his child has anger-management issues, Run has a heart-to-heart with the boy and enrolls him in martial-arts classes to teach him how to channel his anger in a controlled way. Watching him take part in his son's latest activity, the viewer gets a sense that Run not only loves his children, but that he truly enjoys being a part of their lives. The second-season finale ends on a bittersweet note: As Run and Justine prepare for the birth of their sixth child, Vanessa and Angela get ready to move out of their parents' home into their own place. The third season will start off tumultuously, but the first two years show that this is one family that can handle whatever is thrown at them. Run's House isn't a guilty pleasure: It's a delight. --Jae-Ha Kim

Actor: Julieta Venegas DescriptionOn March 6th, Julieta Venegas recorded her MTV Unplugged at the Churubusco Studies in Mexico City, where she presented new songs besides interpreting some of her greatest hits in an intimate atmosphere to a live audience. This production counts on important and interesting collaborations like two time Oscar winner, Gustavo Santaolalla, who accompanied her with the banjo and sang the chorus of the song "Algun Dia (Someday)". Brazilian singer, Marisa Monte featured in song "Illusion", a new and beautiful song that combines the Spanish and Portuguese language. Also Mala Rodriguez joined Julieta and included a strong hip hop movement to the song "Eres Para Mi (You are for Me)", whereas the vocalist of Porter, Juan Carlos had a unique participation in "Algun Dia (Someday)". In addition, the very talented Natalia Lafourcade comprised of the orchestra and played several instruments during the night, whereas the talented musician and composer, Jacques Morelenbaum accompanied Julieta on the cello in "De mis Pasos (From my foot steps)". DVD Track List: People en EspañolThere’s no doubt that Julieta Venegas is talented in the recording studio. Three great albums have proved her originality (Aquí,, Bueninvento, Sí) and the demand for her music (Limón y Sal sold a million copies). But on stage, Venegas doesn’t exude much energy or passion, so making a live album was risky for her career. On the other hand, like Alanis Morissette, Venegas was born to sing in small and intimate acoustic concert venues, and away from the masses, she knows how to create the magic one can find in her albums. On MTV Unpluggged, Venegas invites performers like Natalia Lafourcade, La Mala Rodríguez, Marisa Monte, and Juan Son to recreate new versions of her greatest hits that result in fresh and exciting collaborations. It’s a great musical montage of her practically perfect career. --Ernesto Sánchez (People en Español  )

Actor: Kristin McGee Amazon.comMTV Pilates packs a lot into 39 minutes, featuring four youthful, fit exercisers in a pretty setting of flowers and Arizona mountains. Although the DVD promotes itself as presenting beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels simultaneously, this workout would be challenging and perhaps frustrating for a true beginner. The exercisers supposedly demonstrate the various levels, but in truth, there isn't much (if any) difference between one level and another most of the time, and sometimes you can't see what the beginning-level person is doing. Instructor Kristin McGee--impressively strong and flexible--explains the moves and how to do them, without much technique talk. The steady beat of the synthesizer music doesn't seem to fit, but at least it's very soft, and you can deselect it through the audio setup. --Joan Price

Actors: Andy Milonakis, Ralphie Rivera, Wubbie, Carson Daly, Lil' Jon Product DescriptionIt's his show he's Andy Milonakis. Which makes it The Andy Milonakis Show. Join host and creator Andy for Season One as he takes you into his city into his home and unfortunately into his head. Eight episodes of hilarious skits man-on-the-street interviews Andy hanging out with and harassing neighbors and delivery people his confrontational freestyle rapping plus guest appearances by Lil' Jon Snoop Dogg Black Eyed Peas and more. It's a vampire staple remover. It's Jesus Kitty vs. Satan Kitty. It's The Andy Milonakis Show. We don't know where he gets this stuff and we don't want to. Oh Yeah and there's special features know what I'm sayin'?System Requirements:Runtime: 160 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY UPC: 097368890442 Manufacturer No: 889044 Amazon.comThough plenty of comedians have utilized a man-child persona in the past (from Jerry Lewis and Pinky Lee to Pee Wee Herman), TV sketch comic Andy Milonakis takes the schtick one step further because he physically resembles a child (he's actually in his 30s, and his appearance is reportedly due to a health issue). That incongruity lends an extra layer of lunacy to his already bizarre, freeform humor--is that really a 12-year-old boy playing with ham or harassing elderly strangers on the street?--and undoubtedly accounts for the popularity of his show. Summarizing the 10 episodes of season 1 is nearly impossible, since there's no narrative flow to the program. Andy, his dog, and his pals zip from one surreal scenario to another with little time for the viewer to catch a breath between laughs (or stunned reactions). If any structure can be applied to the show, episodes seem to be divided between "sketches" (Andy wrestles his toaster when it burns his breakfast; Andy jumps into his television and meets Snoop Dogg) and "pranks" (Andy challenges strangers to a footrace or hassles them for their autograph), with occasional participation by bewildered celebrities (Black Eyed Peas, Ying Yang Twins, Carson Daly). Your tolerance for non-sequiturs and just plain silliness will determine whether you view Andy as a riot or a nuisance, but there's no denying that he's got energy--and weirdness--to spare. The DVD offers commentary by Andy and his castmates with NY Daily News reporter Richard Huff as moderator, several unaired skits and extended scenes, as well as interviews with the cast and a featurette on Andy's rise from Internet cult icon to TV star. --Paul Gaita
