Ok, with a bit less enthusiasm than I first had when this thread started, I left the office to go see a matinee showing at one of the modern mega-theater complexes in Houston.
$5 buck ticket, Coke Zero and a foot-long dog, a leather seat on the row where you can put your feet up on the rail.
Can't lose regardless, is what I was thinking when the film started to roll.
It must just be me, a hopeless motorcycle romantic, but this was WAY BETTER than I was expecting. In fact, simply fantastic! I was engaged for every minute of it.
Not only was the cinematography awesome, the characters chosen to be part of the "story of motorcycles", were wonderful. I loved it! All of it.
By the way, Doug Henry and his daughter are my new motorcycle heroes. Didn't take any creative movie producing to capture their zest for life. Outstanding moments in the film.
And the dad that was the voice for his deaf motox daughter........ tear up or you're in serious need of a sabbatical. (just kidding)
If you're an old relic like me and you have never ridden a motorcycle in your life that wasn't fun, just because it has TWO wheels and GOES when you twist your wrist, you'll like this. And it won't be the same at home. It's wicked cool on the BIG SCREEN.
Disclosure: It does seem odd to write with such conviction about a movie that I shared the entire theater with just 1 other fella. :
But every time I looked over, he was laughing and grinning at the same time I was.
