Total Cinemax classic! The two Corey's were always on premium channels late at night, and this flick although only containing one Corey, is amazing. In the near future America has collapsed, there are shortages of everything and most people are hunting around for recyclables in order to stay afloat. There's a gang of roller-blading thugs on the streets making and selling a drug known as "mist" and collecting like the mafia at any and all local retailers. Corey is a rollerblader, and he probably did some of his own stunts in this movie seeing as he was also an avid hockey player (O' Canada). Due to his rad skills and tubular looks, he's advanced by the gang after dim-wittingly saving one "Bullwinkle" (not the moose) from a mist house gone up in flames. He's reluctant to accept but he's old friends with gang leader Gary Lee and the undercover pig unit wants to bring down the rollerboys, so Haim has got no choice but ante-up. It's a story of drugs and gangs in the future that ROLLERBLADE everywhere and cause general havoc, but what's really in the drug MIST? Things get personal when Corey's little brother gets involved, Patricia Arquette heats things up, and the blading is awesome! This movie came out at the start of the whole in-line revolution (91) and remains one of the strongest roller-blading movies that deals with post-apocalyptic stress. But hey, as long as we can still skate, i don't care what color the sky is. Ten stars R.I.P. C.H.
