Roller Boogie

I actually watched Roller Boogie once. I had the flu and was too out of it to read, so I wanted to watch something undemanding. This cinematic achievement was on HBO, so I watched it. All I remember is that Linda Blair looked cute on roller skates, which explains half of…

This is a bad movie but an excellent roller boogie video. If you cut out all of the movie bits and just left the roller boogie video bits, it'd be a solid, abstract dance film. Instead, it pads things out with a rich-girl-poor-guy-fall-in-love plot (which is fine), a…

Wirklich nur etwas für die härtesten Rollerskate-Aficionados und alle, die schon immer wissen wollten, warum Linda Blair ihre Besessenheit aus dem Exorzisten nie so ganz loswerden konnte. Roller Boogie ist so überbohrender 80er-Jahre-Trash, dass selbst der Starlight…

1st Mark L. Lester So, I'm writing this the day of the General Election results, and quite frankly I'm really too depressed to write anything of any substance on this film. I had a whole spiel about it, a really good one, about the flaws and the successes, and how Dean…
