Everytime I see a film with Heath Ledger in it, it makes me sad. He transformed himself in every role.
The story has been told before in documentary form, but this was a bit more dramatic a take as no one needed to rely on old 8mm footage, television interviews or faded memories. They could just make it what they wanted. Great cast of young actors, many who have been seen in plenty since.
And bravo to the make up artist for Rebecca DeMornay. It takes some real talent to make her look that bad.

The film follows the surf and skateboarding trends that originated in Venice, California during the 1970′s.
You know, when Johnnie Knoxville isn’t being one of the Dumbass crew, he is actually a pretty good actor.
This film is based on the story of the death of Graham Parsons. Liberties have been taken, but overall it is a fun story of body highjacking and friendship.
I thought Christina Applegate was sort of wasted in this film. But a great car.

There are times when it’s right and proper to simply bury the dead. This is not one of those times… Gram Parsons was one of the most influential musicians of his time; a bitter, brilliant, genius who knew Elvis, tripped with the Stones and fatally overdosed on morphine and tequila in 1973. And from his dying came a story. A story from deep within folklore; a story of friendship, honour and adventure; a story so extraordinary that if it didn’t really happen, no one would believe it. Two men, a hearse, a dead rock star, five gallons of petrol, and a promise. And the most extraordinary chase of modern times.
This movie was far better than we imagined it would be. It sat in the DVR Queue for months before we just finally broke down and watched it. It is a film that I thought was pretty good, despite Johnny Knoxville.

A young guy’s only option to erase a really bad debt is to rig the Special Olympics by posing as a contestant.
