Whip It * * *


Well, it seems today that all teen movies seem to have that theme that you should follow your dreams and rebel against the idiots known as the parents. None of those films are very likable to me. Whip It whoever does something to you that makes it likable, actually very likable, if not, loved. It's a classic coming of age story about a girl who wants to leave her boring life and do something exciting. How about rollerblading? Sounds fun, yet not so amazing just yet. Her mother forces her to do beauty pageants, but she hates it and lies to her mom about her rollerblading, as she joins a team.

The acting makes the movie beautifully more interesting and smarter. It's also Drew Barrymore's directorial debut, that adds to the sheer joy of the movie. I left with an extreme liking of the films theme, that might stay with others that really need the message. If you see this movie, you wont be annoyed nor bored by it's great ideas and originality. This ones a real treat.

"A film is a petrified fountain of thought."
Jean Cocteau

Never have these words been more true. Alas this blog. A blog about the great art form known as the movies. Have you ever walked into a crowded theater, see a great movie, and walk out wanting to tell people about it? Well this is the place. Here I will be posting reviews to films you write or any that i have seen to show to the public whether or not they should see it. I also plan on writing about great movies and any other film i think is well deserving.
My goal is to educate today's youth about past films and the films we have today, because sadly, we are not in the golden ages of Hollywood any more and less and less people are watching the great movies. Movies educate us to the highest degree. They make us think, gain knowledge, and sometimes change our lives. If you have any suggestions or anything you think would be great for this blog (this is my first time using a blog, so help would be very nice) just email me at edunnl@aol.com
