the ride takes us along the annual 300 - mile journey through the south dakota badlands, where young lakota sioux ride horseback and reflect upon the history of their ancestors, many of whom were massacred at wounded knee in 1890. this intimate, stunningly photographed account captures the thoughts and emotions of the young riders and the guidance and wisdom of the adults .

every season, with the development of new technology and the popularity of events such as the banff mountain film festival world tour, production budgets seem to be stretching further and further. all this allows some of the world’s top skiers and snowboarders to push themselves (and their film crew) to new extremes, all in the hope of producing the next big ski film .
the phantom ride was a genre of film popular in the very early days of cinema. a camera was fixed to a moving vehicle to simulate a journey for an immobile cinema audience. they sat pinned to their seats, white - knuckled for fear they might derail on the next precipitous bend. the train tracks or the road anticipated the trajectory of the ‘phantom’ vehicle. here though, the way has vanished. the highly precise and repeatable movements of the huge robotic arm on the similarly track - bound ‘motion control camera’ used to make this film facilitate a rollercoaster ride on invisible rails. the film’s soundtrack is the only remaining evidence of the camera’s week - long presence in the duveens – the audible contractions and expansions, the ascents, descents and contortions, of a very real machine. simon starling
to the deserts of the southwest pursuing glory and a paycheck in a winnebago. beyond the excitement and danger (one rider died during production) of the rodeos, the film follows these men—often boys, really—in the long stretches of boredom and discovery as they ride their motor home steeds across this great land. the exteriors alone, shot by director
paced with the bucolic ease of downing beers on a front porch at sunset (the acronym of the professional bull riding circuit is conveniently pbr), the film is interspersed with shit - kicker action and road - life but follows many riders on through candid disappointment, injury, and even tragedy (one rider died during production). after the jump, we have the official trailer for the ride, images, and thoughts from / film’s exclusive screening…

tron 3, according to kosinski, would have been an invasion movie starring garrett hedlund’s sam flynn and olivia wilde’s quorra, who returned to the real world from the virtual one in the 2010 film. tron 3 had been in the works, but was never greenlit, and was shelved in 2015 following tomorrowland ’s disappointing release. an animated series, tron: uprising, aired for a single season in 2012 .

in 2010, masters and two friends completed a 2, 000 - mile ride along the continental divide trail. for the journey, they adopted some $ 125 mustangs from the bureau of land management to supplement their string of quarter horses. they were surprised to find the mustangs outperformed the domestic horses. intrigued, masters looked into the wild horse controversy and found a sad and complex situation: tens of thousands of unadopted wild horses and burros living in holding pens and pastures. wanting to inspire adoptions and raise awareness for the horses, the unbranded idea was born .
the ride revolves around the professional bull riding (pbr) circuit, a tour that includes 45 of the worlds top riders. the film is bookended with explosive competition footage brimming with hulking bulls, airborne riders, and high - wattage pyrotechnics. sandwiched in the middle is a journey across the back roads of america that reveals the rides cast of characters, each with genuine wit and that unmistakable cowboy aura .
unstoppable may be a predictable, unsubtle and clichéd variation of speed, but that doesn' t stop it being the most exhilarating thriller of the year. strap yourselves in for one hell of a ride .

nine lives (2005) - clip 4 of 14 / film starring robin penn, glenn glose, sissy spacek, etc .
the film certainly deserves to stand alongside such films as gallipoli (1981), kokoda, the odd angry shot (1979) and breaker morant (1979) .
an award - winning feature film about the world' s toughest mountain bike race, which traverses over 2700 miles along the continental divide in the rocky mountains. the film weaves the story of three characters' experiences with immense mountain beauty and small - town culture as they attempt to pedal from banff, canada to a small, dusty crossing on the mexican border .
we felt that the interactions between the characters and how they live their lives gives the film this air of melancholy. did you at all pick up on that while you were filming ?

but the films that were actually inspiring to us for the ride were much more mainstream or indie films. slacker by richard linklater was a big influence for us; the relationships between characters and how one character kind of goes into another one in a seamless way. a film like that or big fish. those were what we wound up referring to along the way and not necessarily a western .
hunter stephenson: hi jesse. vice has released a film issue that arrives during a very interesting, chaotic time for cinema, especially in the states. and spike jonze’s where the wild things are is an important film that i think signifies a steamy unification between two of the aughts’ biggest influential youth movements; to the eye rolls of many on both sides: the geeks and the hipsters. and as such, it seems a great time for / film and vice to have a chat. since spike is the creative director at vice ‘s urltoken, what are your thoughts on his latest film in terms of its cultural relevance and do you agree with these notions ?

i did. but there' s too much baggage along for the ride. it involves not only luise but also the nazis. a love story is not needed here, particularly when the reputed lovers got along perfectly well apart for 10 years. and as for the nazis, must every german film set in the' 30s involve nazism? do you climb a mountain for hitler, and think about him all the way up? not these climbers. they don' t give a damn about hitler .

two train operators must stop a runaway train. the opening credits claim that this film is based on a true story, but there are moments that are so implausible that i thought tony scott was pulling a coen brothers' fargo on me. real or not, the film is exciting and fun and perfect for all of scott' s gimmicks - - his ever - moving camera, quick cuts, big (unrealistic) explosions, hyper - masculine dialogue. it' s all predictable but enjoyable, much like 1994' s speed. overall, this film is unsubstantial fun .

anchor bay' s new thriller
frozen
to be released february of 2010. synopsis from urltoken a typical day on the slopes turns into a chilling nightmare for three snowboarders when they get stranded on the chairlift before their last run. as the ski patrol switches off the night lights, they realize with growing panic that theyve been left behind dangling high off the ground with no way down. with the resort closed until the following weekend and frostbite and hypothermia already setting in, the trio is forced to take desperate measures to escape off the mountain before they freeze to death. once they make theirmove, they discover with horror that they have much more to fear than just the frigid cold. as they combat unexpected obstacles, they start to question if their will to survive is strong enough to overcome the worst ways to die. i do not own any rights to this film. etc enjoy !

this nineties snowboard film captures its time period perfectly. the soundtrack has some great indie tunes by the likes of placebo, feeder and the stone roses to go along with the portrayal of the huge hype surrounding snowboarding at the time – although in the clip below it' s all about the jazz flute. the story is simple: a group of pro riders, including k2 poster boy travis parker, sets off in a bus around the us to hit the best powder and jumps in the country .
a native texan, masters graduated from texas a & m with a degree in wildlife biology. during college, he attended classes in the spring, led horseback rides in yellowstone during the summer, guided pack trips in the fall, and managed the jacalon ranch in south texas over the winter. masters is the main author of the book unbranded. ﻿since the unbranded ride, he has made numerous wildlife and conservation films. to see more of his work visit urltoken or follow @ bencmasters .
critics have called it

it remains perhaps the most intense and terrifying film of 2010: as sunday evening falls, three snowboarding friends decide to take one last run down the slope. halfway up the mountain, their chair lift stops, the lights go out, and the resort closes for the week. they are stranded, but the worst is still to come. a storm is approaching. frostbite is setting in. and on the ground below them, a pack of hungry wolves have gathered to wait. kevin zegers (dawn of the dead, wrong turn), shawn ashmore (x - men, the ruins), and emma bell star in the relentlessly chilling thriller from writer / director adam green (hatchet) that harry knowles of ain' t it cool news hails as

the first zaz film was the kentucky fried movie, which they only fell back on when they couldn' t get airplane! financed. and since they didn' t know the first thing about film - making, they hired a then - unknown young director called john landis to direct it; landis would go on to become a colossus of the 80s and 90s, the maker of the blues brothers, an american werewolf in london and the thriller music video. kentucky fried, a wholesale transfer to film of their stage spoofs of tv ads and bad dramas, included, in its 20 - minute chop - socky spoof a fistful of yen, the germ of airplane! . although they liked landis, says david, they wanted their suggestions adhered to

let’s switch it up. i’m curious to know what you consider your top three favorite films. can you tell me a little about why you consider each film to be superlative and the personal appeal they have for you ?
short but spectacular nonetheless, this ski film is a visually stunning work of art. shot in the deep powder of the esplanade range, canada, at night, it captures skiers weaving through a blend of colours and lights, accompanied by poetic narration. the crew used eight 4, 000 - watt lights to illuminate the mountain and filmed for over six weeks to create the perfect edit. plus the futuristic led jackets they wear in some of the scenes would make any style - savvy skier jealous. the full film was made in association with electronics company philips as part of an advertising campaign to support its new ambilight tv .
cauldron was meant to be grand, a generation - defining work of animation. it was the first disney feature filmed in 70mm widescreen since sleeping beauty. it boasted 6 - track dolby sound and the first computer animation ever in a disney film. the company even planned for the cauldron - born sequence to include a special holographic sequence that would bring the deathless swordsmen into the theater .
the black cauldron would change all that. in an era of dungeons and dragons and the face - melting action of raiders of the lost ark, a darker, swords - and - sorcery epic seemed like a gamble worth taking. hale plucked one of the series' minor villains, the horned king, to be the big bad of his movie. and he made the film' s action centerpiece the gruesome transformation of dead warriors into the zombie - like cauldron - born .
a group of family and friends on a camping trip through the texas badlands are taken on a one - way ride to hell after they inadvertently witness a ritual sacrifice at a deserted campsite. pursed by the devil worshiping biker gang responsible, they hole up in an abandoned church near the border, only to discover that they are pawns in a decades - old battle between good and evil .

this movie adapts the angel experiment only up to the flock' s escape from the school .
it wouldn' t be a ski movie list without a warren miller film. the legendary miller started out narrating his own home movies, and went on to make 750 sports films during his directing career. after over 50 years of making ski movies, warren miller films are still being made today despite him not being directly involved. many moods of skiing is one of his early classics, released in 1961. the film follows three skiers as they hit the slopes of four different countries, and was ground - breaking as one of the first ski movies to be shot around the world in one feature .
a documentary that revolves around the professional bull riding (pbr) circuit, a tour that includes 45 of the world' s top riders. the film is bookended with explosive competition footage brimming with hulking bulls, airborne riders, and high - wattage pyrotechnics. sandwiched in the middle is a journey across the back roads of america that reveals the cast of characters, each with genuine wit and that unmistakable cowboy aura .
one of the first ever professional ski movies features american ski legends glen plake (check out the first outing of the american' s crazy mohican !), mike hattrup and scot schmidt, in undeniably retro outfits, with an undeniably eighties soundtrack. all three skiers are the inspiration for many pros on the scene today, and this rockumentary - style film sees them tear up the mountain. made in 1988 by the pioneering director greg stump, it really marked the start of freeride skiing .
there are uncomfortable moments, but those were also some of the most interesting moments in the film, at least to us. the duality of rocky and shorty and their take on living in border towns was interesting. shorty takes the stance of ,
this is our country and we don' t want people crossing over the border ,
and there' s some derogatory terms used, and then rocky is the opposite and wants to help the immigrants .
sure. with wtwta, i don’t recall another film that vice has supported this much. however, last year vice films released heavy metal in baghdad, which saw one of the company’s co - founders, suroosh alvi, interviewing a civilian rock band over there for several years and encountering numerous realizations along the way. that film is my fave about the u. s. occupation of iraq thus far—it’s an incredibly intimate look at life outside the green zone. it was also one of my top 10 films of 2008. as one of the senior dudes at vice, what is the future of vice films? i know that you’re releasing white lightnin’ next…

scott sanders' s uproarious blaxploitation spoof, just released in the uk, shows how the zuckers' legacy keeps on giving. those airplane! scenes in which the superfly dialogue of two black men is treated to subtitles (and later translated by an old white woman) touched on taboos film - makers today are applauded for even approaching .
people outside of texas have this idea of how people behave in texas and the bull riding circuit is a different beast from that, but it is of the same species. when we think about growing up, some of those impressions of what a cowboy is were drawn from songs, country songs and also western films. were there any specific songs or movies that inspired you to make the ride or informed your views on what a cowboy should be ?
ari and the erasers corner max, only for the flock to arrive with the bomb. max leaps out of the way and escapes safely .
inspired by true events, healing is a story of redemption, the discovery of hope and the healing of the spirit - in the most unlikely place for the most unlikely men .
a charming, likeable animated story concerning an insecure boy (voiced by jay baruchel) who forms an unlikely friendship with a dragon named toothless after being tasked with capturing one as the last step to becoming a man. the thing that makes this movie so special is its fearlessness and willingness to take big risks that do not fall into the cookie - cutter norm that we have come to accept with some animated films. because of this, it possesses a degree of unpredictability which proves to be original and much more enjoyable. the voice acting is terrific, and the action scenes are fun and the film' s versatility to all age ranges cannot go unnoticed. this is a stellar, near - perfect film .
no it wasn' t that surprising. you go into these things really open and we had an idea of who was who, and who was charismatic, who we wanted to film and why we wanted to film them, and apart from that we didn' t really have any expectations or any agenda of what we were going to get or not get or try to get or whatever. i wouldn' t say i was surprised, because i didn' t really have any expectations .
some things just happened incidentally. our title cards for the ride are almost exactly like the title cards in the wild bunch but we didn' t do that on purpose. it was just one of those things where jake burghart, who was also the cinematographer, designed the title cards and then afterward we realized ,
oh my god, it' s exactly like the wild bunch! that' s so cool !
one of the most bad ass western of all time and here it looks like we' re really smart making this reference. it was actually just one of those accidental, subconscious influences .

the tef award is the government’s assessment of teaching excellence in higher education; ranking institutions as bronze, silver or gold. the gold award recognises the outstanding teaching at the university of hertfordshire .
kosinski noted that at the time he was shooting legacy, disney had yet to pick up marvel or lucasfilm. owning those huge properties would likely mean that any sort of re - reboot of the tron story would come up against a high bar, given the box office success of those properties. that said, tron: legacy did a decent job of picking up from a film that was almost three decades old. kosinski’s plans for a sequel “invasion” movie makes perfect sense given what legacy established about programs coming to the real world, and it would be interesting to see just what “source code” this potential third film could draw from, and what role this new character would play in it .
riveting and visionary tale that gives new life to dreamworks animation skg. how to train your dragon has crisp animation and a compelling story, which helps justify this film to be ranked one of the top animated films for dreamworks (as well as top animated films of all time). 4. 5 / 5
the self - proclaimed
best ski movie ever
does its best to live up to its own humorously arrogant assessment. it’s the last feature length film to star canadian skiing icon shane mcconkey before he died in a basejump ski accident in 2009. the pioneer of modern freeride skis (he strapped water - skis to his feet to tackle the deep powder), he was able to adapt to both freestyle and freeride skiing scenes with ease. a scene set to the final countdown sucks you into the high octane spirit of the movie, when all the riders fist pump after landing incredible drops .

what do you think of when someone says the word
cowboy ?
for us, we imagine leathered faces, dirty hands, saddles and the open range, but there is a different kind of cowboy that exists in america: the professional bull rider—daredevils who put their neck on the line, literally, every night, entertaining crowds of eager fans with their feats of bravery, tempered with what we would consider insanity. in her newest film ,
the norwegian tourist board must have had huge grins when this film was released; it brilliantly captures the beautiful landscapes and expansive freeriding in norway. it also showcases the immense amount of talent scandinavia has when it comes to alpine snow sports – as well as american freestyle skier tom wallisch and snowboard legend terje håkonsen. a guest appearance by world cup ski race star aksel lund svindal freeriding in deep powder instead of bullet - proof ice race tracks is one of the big highlights .

i look at wtwta as a possible gateway film—this weekend’s box office, willing—in that it looks to kick start a time when original, mainstream films from visionary artists are more acceptable and accepted by studios. michel gondry’s the green hornet and david gordon green’s your highness are further examples. such cultural movements in cinema are said to be cyclic, the ’70s being a primary example. what do you think ?
i hate lists. that question was a trick. in the film issue, you once again interview david lynch, who, it must be said is a fellow practioner of transcendental meditation. you’re obviously a fan of his work. here’s a hypothetical for fun: what does a where the wild things are directed by lynch look and play like in your head? how would it compare to jonze’s ?

granted, i don’t want you to get the wrong idea here – hard ride to hell is not, by any means, a remake of or trying to cash in on rwtd – but the filmmakers did obviously take some of the storyline and make it their own, and i don’t hate them for that – in fact, i applaud them. there’s a great story in there that goes back decades and the way it all culminates in modern times in the final showdown is pretty damned well done. plus, they put their own little spin on immortality and what the vampirish demons have to do to stay that way that i really dug into, and it left me wanting to know more and see more – always a great sign .
what i really like about vice ‘s film issue, and vice in general, is that you guys don’t apologize or offer elitist standpoints for featuring directors therein like werner herzog, gaspar noé, jonze, and david lynch. they aren’t presented as under - appreciated per usual or working beneath an “indie shield. ” these are simply smart guys who represent the best today’s cinema has to offer, and they are filmmakers everyone should know about. as an editor who works in culture, is this something you gave thought to or have started to? and do you feel a responsibility, because i definitely do, to tip the spotlight away from the hacks and on to guys (and women) who make cool fucking movies—not just for art and film school kids but essentially for everyone ?
who risk life and limb to keep the spirit of the american cowboy alive in our times .
the boys found themselves in los angeles in the 1970s and by 1975 were running their own sketch - revue show, the cultish kentucky fried theatre .
the pace you see in airplane! developed through the live theatre show ,

we weren' t really actors, just performers, so we were cheaper. we didn' t even have the ability to make characters. all we could do was write jokes and act them out. we literally couldn' t stand being on stage and not getting a laugh. a lot of people said their jaws ached after the show – and we wanted to get that on to film .
jesse pearson: i’m looking forward to hearing more about your highness, and it’s interesting that gondry is doing hornet. but to my thinking, the closest recent parallel to that ’70s era you’re talking about would be there will be blood. i read your review of it, so i am assuming that you agree. [ me: definitely. ] that film, to me, is on the same scale as some of those big, heavy ’70s motherfuckers like the deerhunter .
basically the story of a man forced to finally see the injustice around him. riley’s movie is designed to do the same thing to you. …
last words: with a little more money in the budget and another polish or two on the script, this could have easily been one of my favorite movies so far this year. as it stands now though, i’m still not complaining at all. with equal parts race with the devil and rosemary’s baby (and call me crazy, but i could swear there was more than one nod to warlock: the armageddon thrown in there) making for a great story, ferrer in top form, isabelle looking her hot self as always, and a nice little spin on the “keeping your immortality by feasting on humans” story, there’s more than enough here for genre fans to get their geek on with, and i highly recommend you take the hard ride to hell as soon as possible !
from the early days of film, america turned to the cowboy, that stoic dust - covered hero in leather and denim, to create a origin myth about ourselves, to define ourselves as we trotted out of our isolationist past into a global future. now that bronco - ridin’ figure, so much as he ever existed in true life, is in his sunset years—the movie theaters are no longer filled with blackhats and buckaroos and those factory - bred cattle no longer need much rustlin’. but
a young scientist arrives to a small fishing town to fight against the creature living under the water .
what’s interesting about the ride is how the pbr circuit seems to have cultivated a self - sustaining culture and business that—perhaps not dissimilarly to vice —empowers and endorses an image - and ideal - conscious lifestyle. yet the pbr lifestyle and business cannily and protectively harkens back to a rural, romanticized past. one of the doc’s more memorable scenes is when a stretch - limo customized with lambo - doors and blacked out lights chugs into a dirt - clomped arena and cocksure riders, competing for millions of dollars, exit in cowboy hats to fanfare. what might read like a scene of condescending americana for some reason plays lighter and less irritating than, say, a comparably flamboyant entrance involving skateboarders on espn .
the movie shares the novels' distrust of glory won in battle, and makes the peril taran and his friends face feel very real. the three witches who guard the cauldron are as creepily funny as they are in the books. and despite the cuts that removed its goriest details, the cauldron - born sequence is still a glorious outlier in the disney canon—loud, gross, and delightfully scary, with dramatic gouts of green flame and melting fiery skulls .
marks the welcome return of the epic war movie, in this post - gallipoli true life story of heroism, mateship, and the consequence of warfare .
a great deal of the books' power comes from the development of assistant pig - keeper taran from callow youth to reluctant hero to lost soul to, in the end of the series, wise leader of men. but at the time disney opposed sequels, so the full, five - volume epic was merely grist for the disney mill: joe hale plucked story elements from the first two books and discarded the rest. even before it flopped, the black cauldron would always be the only prydain movie; that it fumbled such terrific material just made it worse .
in 1985, a single movie almost killed disney animation. with an announced budget of $ 25 million—later accounts place it closer to $ 40 million— the black cauldron was at the time the most expensive animated film ever made. based on lloyd alexander' s fantasy series the chronicles of prydain, cauldron' s scary villain and dark themes earned it disney animation' s first - ever pg rating. in its opening weekend it made only $ 4 million at the box office, good for fourth place—behind an e. t. re - release, the month - old back to the future, and, at no. 1, national lampoon' s european vacation. its final domestic gross was just over $ 21 million .
hearing their perspectives is interesting. shorty is annoyed with it. he is annoyed that he has to deal with these guys coming on his property, and that his wife has to have a loaded gun. it' s threatening and i can imagine feeling the same way and i can also imagine feeling bad for these guys. i can keep those perspectives crystal clear. it' s a very complex issue. it' s also not a new issue, you know going back to sam peckinpah, the american - mexican relationship is part of the western identity. the issue of immigration and the border and the american dream just cropped up throughout the film. even at the end, when the brazilian bull rider wins, that' s another part of it. this national identity of the cowboy is actually steeped in these other foreign identities and the american dream, which involves not just americans, but also people coming to this country to achieve something .
the duveen sculpture galleries opened to the public in 1937. stretching over 300 feet, the two long galleries with high, barrel - vaulted ceilings were the first public galleries in england designed specifically for the display of sculpture. they were founded by sir joseph duveen and designed by the architects romanie - walker and gilbert jenkins .
she was right. this badly behaved schoolkid would go on to reinvent us screen comedy with a movie called airplane! , which he co - directed and co - wrote. today, speaking in manhattan, david is feeling a little rough. he was out the night before, it turns out, celebrating the film' s 30th anniversary with the movie' s co - creators, his younger brother jerry and their lifelong friend jim abrahams .
