If you’re a fan, you’ve heard of Rat City Rollergirls, the local league that sprang out of nothing in 2004 to help bring about a rediscovery of Roller Derby. Starting out in a little roller rink in front of a couple hundred fans, they now thrill audiences with their high-energy hijinks at the Key Arena.
In Blood On The Flat Track, local filmmakers Lainy Bagwell and Lacey Leavitt document the first two seasons of this fledgling Roller Derby league. Featuring skaters with names like Miss Fortune, Basket Casey and Betty Ford Galaxy, this is a must for any fan of the sport. And we’re one of the few places in Seattle you can find it!
If you liked Whip It, you owe it to yourself to check this one out.
Newish releases just in: take off for high-flying adventure in Amelia, starring Hillary Swank as everyone’s favorite disappeared pilot; get your heartstrings tugged upon by Rosie O’Donnell in America; see what happens when Love Happens between Jennifer Aniston and Aaron Eckhart (and his chin!).
And we have more copies of the wonderful post-apocalyptic stop-motion adventure 9; the hugely underrated Moon (I don’t follow movie awards, but seriously, how this is not up for an Oscar or three is beyond comprehension); alien/apartheid parallels in District 9; the crew of the Enterprise takes to the stars in Star Trek; girl power on wheels in Whip It and good old-fashioned zombie killin’ in Zombieland. Great movies, great values.
