Today's movie recommendation
Motorcycle racing season is well under way, and I've been very happy for the distraction. Last night I watched the first disk of The Doctor, The Tornado, & The Kentucky Kid, a documentary of sorts about the 2005 MotoGP race at Laguna Seca. Narrated by Ewan McGregor, a big motorcycle fan, it does a great job of explaining how much work goes into setting up the bikes for the unique combination of rider, track, and weather at each race. Ewan shows the passion and extreme lengths the riders go through to win. The interviews with Americans Nicky Hayden, Colin Edwards, and John Hopkins narrating a lap around the track, coupled with onboard video, absolutely make the film.
