With crude beats, glistening bodies and stellar cinematography, it’s unfortunate that Rize never made it to the big screen here. But even if you have to watch it on the small screen, it’s still worth checking out. World-renowned fashion photographer David LaChapelle takes his camera off the runways and heads straight into South Central to chronicle the rise of two extreme dance movements: clowning and its offshoot, krumping. Started by ghetto celeb Tommy the Clown, the hope was that inner-city kids would sweat out their aggression in dance-offs, as opposed to shootouts. And it worked for the most part. But as we see in the movie—after Tommy gets robbed and a 15-year-old krumper is gunned down—the right moves can only do so much to elevate Tommy and his crew from their inherited oppression.

And if there’s anyone left in the province who didn’t catch Jean-Marc Vallée’s C.R.A.Z.Y. in the theatre, as of this week you can rent the fully loaded DVD. This homegrown Oscar contender follows the lifespan of one man so desperate for his father’s approval, he pretends he’s not gay. Trust me, it’s funnier than it sounds. —Sarah Rowland
