Leaving D.C. (2012)
Excellent and Spooky
Great movie ...kept me watching from start to finish...
Jam (2006)
untrue statements
to the author of the last comment....this would have been a great documentary if anything about it would have been true. All of the events in the film are out of order as far as the dates of games such as the game at the San Francisco Civic being the farewell game. The promoter in the game had at least five more games before his promoting was over. A true documentary worthy of awards has to be totally truthful and have accurate information in it.....this film doesn't and any derby fan will tell you this....it was more of an untrue drama but did have some good interviews. I would have had high praise for this film since I do have a copy of it if all of the information would have been more accurate and not made up for the sake of making it more interesting. Maybe Tim should have viewed the highly hailed 1971 documentary Derby more closely. That was a true documentary.
The Demon of the Derby (2001)
excellent documentary about a legend of roller derby
Saw this movie and loved it. Its good to see a documentary about not only a legendary skater but about roller derby. Ann is ageless and has gone through some tough times since the long gone derby days,but is still tough herself and hasn't lost that magic that made her a skating legend. There are some memorable skating moments and some hilarious comments by Ann herself the movie. If you were a true derby fan when roller derby was in its heyday, it will spark some of those memories of a sport that unfortunately died out in the 1970's and people who weren't able go to live games or watch it on television, missed seeing not only one of the greatest ladies to skate in the game,but missed out on some wonderful sport of a sort entertainment!
