Whats become of Steven Segal? This movie was near or at his pinnacle as the macho martial arts kick-ass man's man best.
This film is notable for the three minute ending where Segal goes on a freaking tear against the oil companies and auto barons of the combustion engine. Goes to the heart of the matter and is something everybody should see. A more definatively righteous statement in a major release you'll NEVER see.

A classic. Easily the best screen adaption of Hunter S. Thompson's debut of gonzo. You really owe it to yourself to see this movie.. You can stream it for free on fancast.com.
In case you're not familiar, Hunter S. Thompson covers a narcotics conference in Las Vegas and then does a story on the Mint 400 race for Playboy. The real quest is for the soft white underbelly of "The American Dream", which is eventually traced, in a drug induced frenzy, to the casino at Circus Circus in 1971.
Lots of music from the 60s and 70s, snippets of course.
Get this movie shows San Fran blues legend Paul Penas journey to the land of "Throat singing"
And the road goes on forever....

yea. across the universe is a great film. saw it a few times and my favorite part is the BEYOND bus with Bono in the role of kesey-esque guy and the driver made me think of neal behind the wheel, but did resemble kesey. Eddie Izzard is a real trip doing the mr kite thing. LOVE IT

The throat singers of Tuva do two tone singing.
The Tibetan monks do Tzokay style chanting, which accomplishes three tones.
Ok, so I don't watch many movies or watch tv, so I am kind of behind the times. Loved this movie using Beatle's songs. The way it starts out so innocent and too sweet and moves on to the turmoils of the later 60's is right on. And the trip with Dr. Roberts is quite a trip, wow. The guy driving Dr. Roberts bus looks like Kesey, anyone else notice that?

I've been to several concerts with Tibetan monks doing the two tone singing, it is amazing and seems to just get inside you in a very deep place.
