Brink! Sfida su rotelle

Nowadays I look back and wonder, "what happened?", for when I was a child I tuned into the Disney channel every so often in anxious anticipation for "Brink!" Today you'll hear most people making fun of Disney channel movies, and it's completely justified. But there was a day when they were the cream of the crop when it came to the 5th grader nation, and Brink was the flagship film. Today Disney is plagued with movies like "Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century" and "The Cheetah Girls" ... well, we are in a dark time. If you can't remember the days when the Disney channel was awesome, it was when Brink hit the TV. If you haven't seen this movie, go see it for the sake of old times, and for the 5th grader in all of my generation. Plus, it's actually a good movie.

There are some pretty crummy Disney Channel Original Movies out there. I mean Can of Worms was horrible and same with The Thirteenth Year. Both lacked twists in the plot and were just plain "cheesy." Brink on the other hand has more !. First of all, the "extreme sports" idea was great. That's what kids love these days so that's what probably "hooked" them to their televison sets. The music was decent, featuring some recent punk rock bands. Well at least better than The Thirteenth Year's ending credit music! Yuck! Well anyways, Brink delivers a fresh, funny, and realistic situation in which four teens experience a "Rollerblading Odyssey." This movie has got it all: Friendship, betrayal, rivalry, hate, revenge etc. It has all the qualities of becoming an Academy Award winning epic! Um...ok, maybe not. But it is still a whole lot of fun to watch.

I loved this movie. I thought it was fascinating and very entertaining. This is, for I do love skating and this movie is all about skating competitions, besides cheesy friendship problems and stories. It is worth watching if you give it a try. OK, so I have to write a shorter summary and a longer Comment, you know what I am going to do? I am going to post my summary in here, so here it goes: This movie is about a story of a conflict between two groups of skaters and all the problems between them. The main characters are: Brink, Jordi, Val, Gabriella and Ben. The first and last two are part of the group who call themselves the "soul skaters" and Val, and 3 other guys skate because they are paid for it. Both groups hate each other, but about halfway through the movie Brink finds out his family has economical problems and decides to join Val's group (upon request, for one of the members was hurt and couldn't skate for a competition), which is called the X Bladz. Then he fights with his friends and the resolution begins (yey!) Now, to know the ending, you can watch the movie in Disney Channel, I promise you, it is worth watching. Thanx for reading!

this film combines action, great characters, a superior plot, suspense and most of all--sports. extreme sports. brink pushes the limits of extreme sports movies with awesome stunts combined with spot on excellent acting. this movie did it all. not only did Sid from Toy Story deliver one of the best performances of his life, but he reunited with sam horrigan and rekindled the acting chemistry they had in the hit "escape to witch mountain." this movie captures the wonder of extreme in-line skating with a way that no other movies has. it also emphasizes the importance of good friends and the need to have honest relationships. "you are defined by the company you keep, and how well you keep it." --ralph brinker. this movie will not disappoint...unless of course you wanted to get it on DVD. it doesn't exist. Disney is cheating the world out of a spectular film directed by film legend greg beeman.

This movie was great. It shows you what its like to have family and friends and do what's right for both of them. This movie gave you something to think about but on the other hand also made you feel for the characters and want everything to turn out good in the end. The acting was great i Love Erik von detten and Patrick Levis their some of my favorite actors. I like Christina Vidal she was good at being a tough chick. Sam Horrigan is great at playing a bad guy. Who knew. Recommended for the skater and free spirit in all of us! ~!
