	Sky High (2005) - A Hollywood Jesus Movie Review
		But hey, that’s high school.” This statement in the movie pretty much sums up the movie’s plot; and after having volunteered with high school youth groups for over 8 years, also is an accurate description of life in high school.
		Working with high school students I have more than once heard complaints about how hard it is to be a freshman in today’s world and how it important it is to “fit in”.

	DVD review of Sky High (Widescreen) - DVD Town
		Sky High pokes gentle fun at growing up, entering a new school, joining cliques, adjusting to friends and parents, dealing with peer pressure, and learning who you are.
		Worse, he's just entering a school, Sky High, for the children of superheroes, and he has yet to break it to his mom and dad or the school administrators that he doesn't think he has any super powers.
		Which brings me to Disney's latest kids' film, 2005's "Sky High," a film I enjoyed quite a lot and think might appeal to adults as well as children.

	Reviews: Mean Girls - Christianity Today Movies
		Annabelle Robertson (Crosswalk) says the film "will leave many parents feeling like traditional high schools may be the last place they want their teens." She adds, "The film ultimately falls flat.
		Most of the comedy—like for any high school's popular kids—comes from mean teasing, cruel jokes, and easy jokes about homosexuals, Christians, and the handicapped.
		The insights and observations of high school life … will strike a chord with anyone who remembers the days of acne and lunchroom protocol.

	Gambit Weekly : Sky High (PG) : August 2, 2005
		Sky High soars up and away thanks to clever dialogue and sly casting including Lynda Carter as Sky High's principal and Cloris Leachman as the school nurse.
		For any teenager, the social stratification of high school is far worse than any motley gang of supervillains.
		The social rankings become clear the first day of school, when a gym coach (Bruce Campbell) divides the freshman class into heroes (those who can throw cars or light themselves on fire) and sidekicks (those who can melt into puddles or transform themselves into little guinea pigs).

	Sky High (2005) Film Review - MovieWeb
		Sidekicks are unpopular geeks and Heroes are the cool kids at this fantastic high school, which also features a cheerleading squad made up of clones, a mixed-lineage (hero and villain) rebel as Will's brooding arch-nemesis, and bullies acting as evil henchmen for a mysterious fiend who's plotting revenge against the Stronghold clan.
		The high school melodrama gets feebly super-charged in Sky High, a tween-oriented Disney adventure made from the spare parts of Harry Potter, Spy Kids, X-Men and â80s teen romances like Some Kind of Wonderful.
		When it's not indulging in â80s nostalgia via perfunctory covers of songs by Modern English and âTil Tuesday, Sky High piles on allusions to Spider-Man, Wonder Woman (thanks to Lynda Carter's appearance as the school's principal), and the old Batman TV show.

	Shattered Glass
		As the film opens, Ray cleverly posits Stephen Glass as a homecoming big wheel of sorts, giving a lecture on writing success to a Highland Park, Illinois, high school, all beaming and star struck with his meteoric success.
		This recounting is a terrifically exciting film about a hell of a subject - abuse of trust and the value of journalistic ethics vs. entertainment - that probably hasn't been so richly mined in the movies since Bernstein and Woodward took on similar moral turf decades ago.
		The film then weaves through time and events to explore Glass's rise and fall at The New Republic, where he began as a wet behind the ears, eager beaver and graduated to most popular member of the editorial staff, loved by editors and fellow writers alike.

		Fatheree and Lindvahl are very proud of the high-quality film their students produced, but they're more impressed with how the kids worked as a team while employing a wide range of skills.
		Considering the work behind the film -- weeks of coordination with state law enforcement officials, emergency workers, and railroad executives, plus location scouting, writing, test shots, storyboards, and complex filming with actors, vehicles, and a train crash, this effort was a resounding success.

		Indeed, its meager beginnings in school basements, random garages and the eventual barn are testimony to Aces High's pure strain enthusiasm and dedication to playing music simply for the love of the music.
		A bet between Christian and an anonymous aquintance soon led to the spark of interest that would eventually become the obsession of three high school boys, who pressed on through adversity, crowded schedules and the bitter cold of a barn loft jam studio in winter.
		In addition to its desire to forge its own sound, Aces High is truly the creation of four brothers (soon with the addition of Kyle Madsen on Bass Guitar).

		Sky High is the story of Will Stronghold, a new high school freshman and the son of the world's two greatest superheroes, the Commander and Jetstream.
		This is a movie about coming-of-age in high school, of living up to your parents' expectations (both real and imagined), of true friendship...
		But Sky High is a lot more than just a superhero movie; it is a family movie, in more ways than one, and one that all members of the family can truly enjoy.

	Film Review: Sky High
		So universal is the high school experience that any film set there is guaranteed to offer recognition for the younger viewer and nostalgia for the older, while wrapping it all up in the perennial allure of rites-of-passage plotting, thanks to the inevitably adolescent status of all the principal characters (apart, of course, from the principal).
		Not unlike the Batman TV series from the Sixties, which has clearly been an influence, Sky High is happy to run with its own essential cheesiness, exulting in the absurd banality of the characters' costumes and the quirkiness of their abilities.
		As the school's geeks, cheerleaders, jocks and rebels get by, get laid, get lost or get beaten up at 3.15, they are merely rehearsing the confusing hierarchies, "class" divisions and heavily codified social strata that adults must negotiate as part of their everyday lives.

	Sky High Movie Review - Sky High Movie Trailer - The Boston Globe
		Set at a high school for superheroes that literally floats in the sky (why it's all the way up there is anybody's guess), the movie sweetens the teen angst that's been known to break out like a case of acne in the best comic books.
		If ''Sky High" were a cartoon -- OK, were it a better cartoon -- that relationship might have appealed to Hayao Miyazaki, the director of ''Princess Mononoke" and ''Spirited Away." As it is, the film, which is probably suitable for 6- or 7-year-olds, seems to be aiming even lower.
		Will is about to start at his folks' alma matter, Sky High, but on the bus flight to school, he worries that he hasn't yet discovered his powers.

	Sky High (2005)
		High school being what it is, we see all the normal struggles to fit in that every student goes through with the exception that Will is going to have to save the school by the time the movie is over.
		With its PG rating, Sky High is aimed at the 7 to 16 set and hits it squarely on the bulls eye.
		Sky High gets a good recommendation from me as a movie that will bring entertainment and a positive message to its target audience and a good time to the adults who watch it, too.

	Sky High (2005)
		Regrettably all it falls back on is the clichés of the high school drama - the latter half of the film really is no more than a standard high school drama with a thin patina of superheroics.
		The film seems to be wanting to make a lot of superhero in-jokes, although it isn't really clever enough to come up with anything funny and instead just peoples itself with a few actors that have made superheroic appearances before.
		This is a character concept that has a great potential but the film has Will find his superpowers far too early in the piece; his discovery should really have been much more of a struggle and his final emergence into superherodom should have been the triumphal act of the show.

	Amazon.com: DVD: After the Sunset (Widescreen Edition) (New Line Platinum Series) (2004)
		After The Sunset was the type of film that entertains and is easy on the eyes.
		Okay, so After the Sunset certainly isn't a film that you'd be hearing about at the Oscars.
		After the Sunset may not be the greatest jewel-heist caper comedy ever made, but it sure is easy on the eyes.

		This film, produced by the creators of the "Naked Gun" series, takes on the grim subject of inner city high schools, spoofing such movies as "Dangerous Minds" and "Stand and Deliver." The story concerns an ultra-idealistic teacher who tries to inspire his students to learn.
		This film, produced by the creators of the "Naked Gun" series, takes on the grim subject of inner city high schools, spoofing such movies as "Dangerous Minds" and "Stand and Deliver." more...
		But as with the "Naked Gun"-type films, the plot is merely an excuse for a rapid-fire string of jokes and sight gags that send-up "ghetto life" cliches.
