And Catherine (Marg Helgenberger) and Sara (Jorja Fox) investigate the fatal crash between a train and an SUV, a tragedy that might have been the outgrowth of road rage. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Meanwhile, Marga's death ushers in the honor of a lifetime for Gabrielle (Renee O'Connor) -- provided she lives long enough to enjoy it. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The hard work, dedication, and personal politics behind "rah rah rah!" and "sis boom bah!" go under the microscope in this engaging teen comedy. Torrance Shipman (Kirsten Dunst) discovers that being captain of her San Diego high school's six-time championship-winning cheerleading squad is more complicated than she had imagined. Torrance's parents want her to spend more time on her homework, her boyfriend wants her to spend more time with him, and she learns that the squad's former captain stole some of their best routines from other teams -- and that Isis (Gabrielle Union), captain of a top squad at a crosstown, inner-city high school, plans to fight back this year. To make things worse, when one of the cheerleaders is injured, Torrance is forced to replace her with Missy (Eliza Dushku), a cynical new kid who is involved only because the school doesn't offer gymnastics. In the midst of this chaos, with the national championship around the corner, Torrance couldn't have picked a worse time to fall in love with Cliff (Jesse Bradford), a classmate who cares a lot more about punk rock than school spirit. Dunst trained with a cheerleading squad for her role, though a double performed the more complicated stunts. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

- Kirsten Dunst, Eliza Dushku, (more)
This suspense film features Dennis Hopper as JD, a crazed kidnapper who hijacks a school bus (not unlike his crazed kidnapper in Speed) and holds the students hostage (one of the students is played by former Home Improvement star Zachery Ty Bryan). Even if the hostages are able to break free from their captors, they would have to survive the harsh terrain that surrounds the cabin in which they are being held. Lee Stanley's film was sold directly to Blockbuster Video, never gaining a theatrical release in the United States. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

This MTV dance workout, led by American fitness champion Tsianina Joelson, is a 55-minute hip-hop aerobic dance routine. It includes a 12-minute warm-up, 22 minutes of aerobic choreography with a freestyle dance segment, and a 15-minute tai chi cool down stretch led by Michael Corradino. In the tradition of MTV workout videos, Daily Burn: Kick, Dance & Firm features lots of gorgeous bodies (including Baywatch's Michael Bergin) strutting their dance moves and offering little fitness instruction. What this workout lacks in technical and instructional merit it makes up for with the energy of the dancers and the music by DJ Skribble. ~ Heather M. Fierst, Rovi
- Starring:
- Michael Bergin, Tsianina Joelson, (more)
