SHRED is one of many snowboard themed extreme sports comedies over the years many have been so many like this they all follow the same formula some evil rich guy is threatening the mountain in some way and its up for the party dude snowboarders to shred it up and save the day.
The Daddy of all Snowboard comedies is OUT COLD which is by far the best however SHRED although it dosen't quite take the crown from OUT COLD it does make a pretty good job of it.
Dave Englund from (jackass) and his brother are ageing ex snowboard pros who had it all then lost it and now work on a mountain operating lifts they wanna taste the big time again so set up a camp for up and coming snowboarders. But Tom Green is the evil rich dude who they played pranks on back in the day he will stop at nothing to shut them down. It's full of pranks partying and snowboarding its exactly what you expect from it and the sequel is already well into production.

Dog Soldiers was amazing the Descent was also fantastic but i knew that Neil MArshall would come acropper at some point and sadly this is it.
The Trailer looked pretty good the film is just a mess from the basic write ups and the trailer you think this is gonna be Mad Max meets Escape from New York which seemed OK but what do we get? 28 Days Later meets Underworld meets Escape From New York meets Mad Max meets Hills have eyes meets speed.
and as much as a combination of those movies sounds good it really isn't the one thing this movie does do is contribute to the worst villains of alltime list with the Terrible SAUL so bad he could be a contender for Bennet(Commando) crown.

Ever since i saw the first trailer for speed racer i wasn't sure if i wanted to see it or hide from it i really couldn't make my mind up.
after sitting down and watching I'm glad i did it is really enjoyable and the style of it is visually pleasing the wachowski's definitely scored again with an effects movie.
The bad points to it was keeping the cartoon feel mixed with the live action it moved to fast and at some points you could easily loose track of what was essentially a pretty simple plot.
Also the races again they moved so fast now i know thats the point of the movie but a lot of the intensity of some of the race scenes was hard to capture.
It isn't a masterpiece but it is a lot of fun and it's well divided between lovers and haters but its worth checking out.
