iMovie effects

I have an old version of iMovie - (2+ years?) so I don't have the nifty new one.

How good does the stabilization work? I have some cycling videos that are a bit bumpy, but would love to see if I could smooth them out.

Can you rotate video? Said videos need to be rotated 90 degrees but I can't seem to figure out how to do it.
 
I worked on some low bitrate 720p video from my neighbors. The stabilization wasn't perfect (imovie will indicate what is just too shaky to yield a good video) but I was very impressed with what it did. I included the "too shaky" video with the stabilization on; the subject of the video was steady, but there was some interesting artifact of the stabilization visible in the ccd noise. Net effect was occasional heat mirage-like phenomenon.

I'm still too impatient to work with my own video as the source files are huge and I am still very new to video editing. I had iMovie 06 before and it didn't work with my AVCHD camcorder so I just accumulated uncut footage over the last year (just got iLife 09 recently). I'll actually do something with it now, just wish there were some updates to use GCD and the Radeon x1600 GPU to speed things up.

edit: for reference, the original video was quite shaky & irritating to watch. Also crossfade transitions made the short but related clips flow together nicely. iDVD just dumped them on disk as unrelated events before I used iMovie.
