Ehh.... it is what it is
19 November 2008
I found this movie on DVD at missed movies dot com, but it was clearly dubbed off a mid-grade VHS copy, so expect it to play like an episode of Chips your uncle recorded on his brand-new $800 VCR, back in 1981. If I were Patrick Swayze, I would've bought the rights to this movie years ago and buried it. One must be impressed with his skate/dancing prowess though. His "gang" looked like they could get beat up by the gang in the Michael Jackson Beat It video.

It's basically a long, disco rollerskating music video, with a few jokes from Flip Wilson and the Unknown comic thrown in the mix.

Besides seeing Horseshack and Marsha Brady, one of the pizza guys at the snack bar was the therapist in There's Something About Mary, although I can't seem to find his credit in either film.

I never noticed a director's influence on a movie so much
15 November 2008
I think Craig is outstanding as Bond and although I'm not ready to take Connery's crown away as "Best Bond," I might be one movie removed from that decision. As much as I liked Craig and thought the plot itself was solid, I have to say I've never been so upset with a director before in my movie-viewing life.

I don't know who else to blame other than the Editor, for the way the action sequences appeared on screen. Perhaps the scenes didn't turn out the way they'd hoped and they had to resort to shaky shots and quick, choppy edits to hide mistakes in the background? Whatever the reason, the filming of the action sequences was terrible and hurt the rest of the movie.
