Whip It!

So today I went to see Whip It! with my sister. I've always thought that Ellen Page is a really good actress (I've only ever seen her in Juno, which is an amazing film) so I was pretty psyched when I saw the trailers for Whip It in the cinema.

So to say that the day was great is wrong. When I went into the cinema screen there were these two girls in the row behind me blabbering on about something or other (luckily they shut up for the film) and I had big hopes for the trailers as it's a chance to see what new films are coming out. Then the screening got even worse when a trailer for Eclipse came on. I considered leaving the screening, but decided against making a scene. It's not in my nature.

So Whip It is a great movie. I highly enjoyed the cliched plot. But it made you feel good. I like films like that sometimes. Of course, as a film like that you knew what was going to happen, but it was good knowing what was going to happen, there's definitely potential for a sequel? I'd love to see a sequel with a plot line similar to the Hurl Scouts going to a big league tournament for Roller Derby, anything like that. It would be a great thing to see.

This is not going to be a long review, it's not even really a review, I'm just stating how I liked the film, it's definitely one I'd buy on DVD when it comes out. So go Whip It.

Anyway,

Great film, amazing cast, I loved the idea as it's not one I would usually see in the cinema's, I never even knew what a Roller Derby was, so thanks for that! I hear that it's based off a book, is the book any good? I'd like to read it. But yeah, great cast, great film. It makes you feel good about yourself and sends a message to never quit on your dreams.

Another thing. I'm really looking forward to another of Ellen Page's films. Inception. Now that looks amazing.

But for another time. Night! I know, I'm actually going to bed reasonably early today, what's wrong with me? Lol.


Edit: Lol, I only just noticed I spelt the title of the film wrong in the blog. I've changed it now from Whit to Whip. Go me!
