Top DVDs: 'Step Up 2' hip-hops to No. 1

"Step Up 2 The Streets" recipe for success: 1. Mix "Love Story," "Flashdance" and "Fame." 2. Run through the sequel blender. 3. Serve inspirationally.

The dance movie starring Briana Evigan pranced to the No. 1 slot in DVD sales for the week ending July 20.

Another Disney/BV live-action feature, "College Road Trip," made the grade for second place in sales and third in rentals. It stars Martin Lawrence as doting dad and Raven-Symone as his empty-nest builder.

Lionsgate's "The Bank Job" with Jason Statham pulled in some cold hard cash, making off with the No. 1 spot in rentals and No. 3 in sales. The movie felt by the numbers to me, but critics seemed to like its old-school caper-film vibe.

I think that's the shortest post I've ever seen you make about a movie! ;) It's interesting to see Batman Begins bumped up there. Apparently, plenty of people who went to see The Dark Knight had no idea that it was a sequel to something...
