Xanadu (1980) -- The story of a muse who comes out of a wall to help Gene
Kelly start a roller rink. Seriously. Almost as bad as everyone says
it is, though enjoyable on certain levels. The thing that saves it
somewhat is that much of the music in the movie is great, featuring Electric
Light Orchestra and of course Olivia Newton-John, including "Magic," "Suddenly,"
and "Xanadu," but I'd suggest listening to these on a Newton-John greatest hits
CD rather than watching the movie.
