Skate or die: GoPro
Skateboarding's probably pretty close to porn when it comes to using advances in film technology. Check out this quick how-to about mounting a mini GoPro HD camera under a skateboard, from @RideChannel's excellent In Focus series.

Scarface
Shapeless pacing and shoddy production values make for one of the most over-rated film school favorites.
Halliwell says: Absurdly brutalized version of the above, with detailed violence and a superabundance of foul language. Scarface has now become an emigre Cuban, and the film seems to want to make a political statement.

Devastatingly transparent and unambitious romcom-by-numbers with Natalie Portman.

It's the 20th Anniversary of the Wayne's World movie. Ouch. Here's a then/now comparison of the cast. And while you're there, check out the cast of Dazed & Confused ....though Wooderson is cheating a bit thanks to that recent Black Widow promo.

Hold on to that old movie poster rolled up on top of your wardrobe, as in case you didn't already know these things can be worth a lot of money.
Love seeing the alternate marketing vision for some of these movies. The Alien teaser poster is a million miles from the graphic identity that pretty much shaped the whole series.
