PORRISTAS

Porristas En Accion / Cheerleading in Action (Deportes En Accion / Sports in Action) (Spanish Edition)
$6.95
This work is intended for children aged 6-9 years, and features the text in Spanish. Cheerleading is a fast-growing sport that's based on teamwork, gymnastics skills, daring stunts, thrilling dances, and - of course - crowd-rousing cheers. With action-packed colour photographs and engaging text, this book debunks the myth that cheerleading is limited to the sidelines. The book covers: basic arm and leg positions; stunts and dance moves; safety in cheerleading; what makes a routine; and exciting jumps and stunts.

Las Chicas Porristas (The Pom Pom Girls) [VHS]
$9.98
This is your typical drive-in B film with a thin plotline and plenty of T & A. I find it a pale imitation of "The Swinging Cheerleaders"; Rainbeaux Smith and Robert Carradine couldn't even help this film along, although it's funny to see Carradine in an early role as a popular-crowd jock, when he's better known as playing a Nerd in the "Revenge of Nerds" series. A fun look at 1970's fashions and fads, including mooning and souped-up vans which doubled as mini-hotels for studs to score. Unfortunately, along with the dumb plot, the characters are one-dimensional stereotypes, and the movie drags at times. Picture quality has seen better days--looks like a worn drive-in copy was used as the master print. If you want to see a fun, campy cheerleader film, check out "The Swinging Cheerleaders", available on DVD at amazon.com. "The Pom Pom Girls" is mindless fun if you're drunk or stoned--then the movie will seem screamingly hilarious. But if you're sober, you'll probably agree: "Las Chicas Porristas" es muy estupida. Muchas Gracias!
