That’s It, That’s All (2008)

This is probably the greatest snowboard movie of all time! Actually, put down your computer right now and go out and get it. You have no excuse, even if your a skiier, or hate snowboarding, suck it up and watch this movie.
This movie has everything, Amazing music, beautiful scenery, some of the best riders to date, and locations you would sell your soul to visit. This movie not only has snowboarding, but it is funny too, the opening scene is hilarious! It proves that the riders put what they want in their movie, which in my opinion, makes it all the better. What would you rather see, something the editor wants, or something you want?
This movie is amazing start to finish. Even if you are not a snowboard movie fan, you can’t help but watch it. The locations they visit are now on my list of places to snowboard, it is just incredible where they go. One of the sections is filmed in New Zealand, when you think snowboarding, do you think down in New Zealand? I know i didn’t until seeing their crazy backcountry shots.
They have some great nature shots. I love the ones up in the mountains, showing you the wildlife. There is one great one that sticks out in my mind, its where two mountain goats are butting heads. Its just so cool!
The music ties this master piece together. They have everything from Kids by MGMT to A Call to Arms by Exodus. This adds a whole new dimension to each section of the movie. They basically split up the movie by songs and locations. In every scene they have a perfect song to go with it. If you ever snowboard with music, you can’t go wrong with this soundtrack.
Heres the trailer, even though i know you went out and bought it when i told you to at the beginning.
An easy 10/10
Zombieland Review

This movie is a MUST SEE!
Zombieland has everything, comedy, horror and action. If you are a fan of any of these genres, go see this movie!
The movie takes place in The United States of Zombieland. Without giving too much away, the plot is one that has been used before about a million times, but it has a comedic twist. The world is hit by an apocalyptic infection that turns people into zombies. Our main Character is named Columbus, played by Jesse Eisenberg. Columbus is a geek who has fears about everything from clowns, to checking the back seat of cars. He creates a list of rules to keep him alive. Each time he gives you one of his rules, you see an example of his rule in action, this is one of the funniest parts of the movie. The number 1 rule is Cardio, be sure that you can outrun the zombies, because “when the infection struck, for obvious reasons, the fatties went first”. The movie starts with him deciding to go Columbus to see if his parents are still alive. While he is travelling along the highway, he meets Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson). Tallahassee is a redneck zombie killer who is searching for Twinkies. On the way they meet two girls, Wichita (Emma Stone) and Little Rock (Abagail Breslin). They could be the last humans on earth and they have to survive.
If this movie has a downside, it’s that it is overly gory. If you can overlook that, than your in for a treat. I would even say that it is on my top 10 favorite movies of this year!
I give Zombieland a 9/10
