Let's Roll
Juilette Lewis as a roller girl? Um... YES, PLEASE!
Drew Barrymore (another favorite of mine) makes her directorial debut with Whip It -- a coming-of-age story framed by the empowering world of roller derby. The film star's Ellen Paige (Juno) and also puts Saturday Night Live's Kristin Wiig and recording artist Eve on skates. But, the highlight is, of course, Juliette Lewis. We haven't seen Lewis on the silver screen since 2006, and leave it to her to return as a bad-ass roller babe.
Here's the trailer. I wonder if we could get all the stars to come here for an exhibition bout with our own Green Mountain Derby Dames? Hot.
I wonder if they're ALL free for lunch?
I'd never live through it, of course, but what a ride!
