Enjoyed the movie
I enjoyed the movie, mostly because I love horse racing. The main character, Chip Woolley comes across unlikeable and never redeems himself. This was a very interesting path chosen by the Director and it made me wonder if that's how the man is in real life. Hope not. Calvin Borel was amazing, and the historical footage they used of him was priceless. Major props to racetracks, race announcers, and corporations that held rights to the intellectual properties used in the film.
Last thought, wasn't Bob Baffert a quarter horse guy running out Tucson, Arizona ? I can't imagine a quarter horse guy being down on "cowboys" like Mark Allen. I am no fan of Baffert but it seems like a disingenuous portrayal of the man.
Crazy Venice Apartment (2012)
Captures the bizarre melting pot culture of Venice
What happens when free spirits from all over the world converge on the Venice California Boardwalk and move in together... that is your Crazy Venice Apartment. It's more earthy and modern "hippyish" than the OC, kind of like how Venice is so much for grungy than Huntington and Newport Beach. Clearly the biggest attraction is Katya, she's attractive in a natural slightly off beat way. I hope the production quality and characters develop further as Venice is a lot more interesting than Beverly Hills and other phony places around So Cal. The neighbors can be interesting or forgetful. The local porn star was not elegant! Katya's boyfriend Cody is lost, what does she see in that guy?
