• Zombies and Rollergirls to Make Moviegoing Fun Again

    Maybe we used up all our bile last weekend, but no one is more shocked then we are to find ourselves actually looking forward to the movies this weekend. Maybe we're getting old...It can't be Hollywood's getting better, can it?

    Zombies and Rollergirls to Make Moviegoing Fun Again


    WHIP IT
    The Story: A Texas teen (Ellen Page) gives up a life of beauty pageants to fight it out in the roller derby rink.
    The Pitch: Fight Club meets Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants
    Who It's For: Grrrl power wolf packs.
    Cause for Hope: Precious as it may be, it's hard not to get excited for roller derby; buzz has been good for Drew Barrymore's directorial debut.
    Cause for Concern: The project leaves huge room for the Drew nose-scrunching, head-bobbing cutesy factor to rear its pig-tailed head.
