It occurs to me that I said I was going to use this blog to talk about skating movies as well and so far I've only used it as an outlet to complain about skating.
Best Recent (21st century) skating movie:
Go Figure. If you haven't seen this movie and you are into skating it is definitely a must-see. It is about a little girl who has devoted her whole life to skating. She has an opportunity to skate with a famous Russian coach because for some reason Russians are just better skaters that Americans right? There's only one problem they can't give her a scholarship to this boarding school unless she plays hockey. She gets a crash course in learning how to play hockey and in the process learns how important friends and family are.
2nd Best Recent Figure Skating movie:
Cutting Edge 2: Going for Gold
Okay so who doesn't love Kim Possible - and seeing Christie Carlson Romano in a skating role is always great. But her co-star Ross Thomas really set the ice on fire. Were his 'stunts' real? Can anybody skate like that.. flips and stuff on ice. Saweeeet! Only drawback - they could've brought in Moira Kelly and DB Sweeney to play Christie's parents. Maybe the directors thought they were too young for those roles? Moira Kelly plays mom to Chad Michael Murray on OTH and he can't be that much younger than her?
I'll save some other lesser skating movies like "Ice Princess" for later.
