	Olivia Newton-John : About Xanadu
		The critics can harp on about Xanadu all they want, but I found it a blast - here was my favourite singer on great form, she was looking out of this world and singing on a great soundtrack with ELO who performed rather well too.
		However, the movie is a visual treat, with a great animation sequence by Don Bluth where I could start to believe that modern animation could actually cut it and have soul like it used to .
		Xanadu needed a whole range of styles, from the lavish costumes worn by the cabaret dancers to the flowing, feminine costimes of the Greek muses.

	The Xanadu Preservation Society - Press
		To put it almost, mildly, today Anderson, 44, is still living in his own private 'Xanadu' dream after being inspired by the movie's dynamic choreography to chuck film school in favor of a career as a Santa Monica dance and fitness instructor.
		'Xanadu's' other star, the late tap-dancing matinee idol Gene Kelly, brings a debonair cross-generational touch to the role of Danny McGuire, a former big band musician, who long ago sold out his dream and became a construction magnet, but yearns for one last shot at running a jazz club.
		Given the iconic casting and over-the-top plot, it was all but inevitable that 'Xanadu' would be embraced as a gay cultural touchstone, a camp classic beloved for its visual sensuality, inadvertent double-enterdres and aura of sincere sweetness.

	Xanadu Movie -The 80s Rewind «
		Xanadu's interior was built in Studio 4 of the Hollywood General Studios; it took roughly three months to build the two-story mammoth set and it cost $1,000,000 to make.
		Xanadu, the movie, may have been a film flop, but Xanadu, the soundtrack, was a huge hit for both Olivia and the Electric Light Orchestra.
		But, given that she was considering whether to take the Xanadu job or the lead in "Can't Stop the Music" (eventually taken by Superman's Valerie Perrine), one can't help concluding that she made the right choice, or at least, the lesser of 2 evils.

	Xanadu Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		XANADU is one of the most critically and commercially ravaged films in Hollywood history, a 'Nouveau Art' musical with Art Deco themes, a weirdly conceived animated interlude, and performances of such widely varying caliber that a viewer might wonder if the actors were all reading the same script!
		When XANADU was released circa 1980, I was just a little girl in grade school circa 1980, and all my friends rushed out to see this movie.
		XANADU is the end result of the amalgamation of these aforementioned individuals and forms of entertainment.To watch this movie, you would fall under the impression that disco and roller skating (pre-rollerblade roller skating, that is) would rule the world forever.

		The director of the movie should have listen to the music first maybe he would have then had an idea of how to create a world of magic and romance.
		"Xanadu" the soundtrack is worth a hundred times it's cost, and should not be put in the same room as the movie.
		as far as the movie is concern, shame on everyone who was invoved in taking a talent like oliva newton-john and giving her crap like that to work with.

	Xanadu the Movie
		Writing about this movie is going to be PAINFUL, because even though Xanadu was not the greatest movie ever made, I own it, and I enjoy watching it from time, especially when roller skating friends are visiting.
		This was Gene Kelly's last movie roll and I enjoy watching him dancing and roller skating for the last time on screen.
		During much of the movie, Olivia was wearing a strange pair of quad roller skates that were modified to look like knee high white leather boots.

	Xanadu - A Kiss After Supper - Stylus Magazine
		In the A Kiss After Supper series, which documents the expert use of pop music in movies, Xanadu is the turning point: it marks the first film in the series that is memorable perhaps solely due to its music.
		Xanadu is deceivingly complex in its ineptitude, so trying to understand how badly it fails is like unpacking the layers of a tightly wound Kubrick movie.
		Xanadu was a bomb insofar as to even completely annihilate filmic conventions—one of the largest being suspension of disbelief.

	theLogBook.com Movie Reviews - Xanadu
		Just when it looks like Sonny's dreams are all set to come true, his inspiration is torn away from him: Kira is actually a muse, inspiration of musicians, artists and poets down through the ages - and her involvement with a mere mortal has brought the unwelcome attention of her father, Zeus.
		And speaking of animation, Xanadu even dips a toe into those waters with a classy short segment by none other than Disney protegè Don Bluth (who went on to score more points in 80s pop culture with the animated arcade game Dragon's Lair).
		Musically, Xanadu boasts some of ELO and Olivia Newton-John's best, with an all-star lineup of guests, but in another respect it's sad coulda-been story: ELO's Lynne was originally slated to score the movie, not just write songs for it.

	xanadu: Weekend Movie Extravaganza
		And her neighbor friend is pretty much prostituting himself out as well to an older woman which is probably why he has a connection with hepburn.
		I think it should have been more dark, less dancing muppet scenes and goofy punchlines and perhaps correcting the age gap between a minor and a man infatuated with her that is probably more than twice her age is called for.
		Labyrinth: pretty lame movie, yes, but after his awesome Ziggy Stardust days, you should have already been used to David Bowie gyrating in grape-smuggling tights.

	Xanadu - A Brokedown Review
		And yes, I do believe that this is a movie wrapped around Top 40 songs (though one is hard-pressed to call it a movie).
		The “movie” takes place in a beach community in Southern California (a warning flag in and of itself) where we meet Sonny (stoic hunk Michael Beck) a frustrated commercial artist who specializes in the kinds of album covers that made Journey famous.
		It’s a roller-skating finale on Xanadu’s opening night with hundreds of extras skating behind Olivia and clapping in unison as she knocks off the title tune as we inch (mercifully) to the closing credits.

		The film "Xanadu" received what I consider the best movie review of all time on its release in 1980: a single sentence that read...
		Her "Xanadu" is pitch perfect, and "Suddenly" is every adult contemporary artist's dream song...a lilting ballad of fresh love and hopeful romanticism.
		When you consider that the music on this CD comes from the cheesy (guilty pleasure for some) 1980 musical "Xanadu", starring Olivia Newton-John and Gene Kelly, you'd assume that it's soundtrack would not have a chance; however this is soundtrack simply astounds as each song is simply amazing.

		I am quite fond of the song "Xanadu" but the movie is just about unwatchable.
		I LOVE the rollerskating scene at the end with the "clap, clap, clap-clap-clap,clap, clap XANADU!"; the music is great but alas is not on the soundtrack., neither are any of the songs she did at the end.
		Xanadu is for a different project, my understanding is that Terry Ronald and some mates are recording/producing an album of electro-style covers under the name 'Thriller Jill' and Dannii did this as a guest vocal I think.
