  Freewheelin' 1976

  ★★½ Watched 11 Dec 2017 4

  This is some kind of weird hybrid documentary/skate video/scripted drama thing about Stacy Peralta and west coast skate scene in the late 70’s. I put it on to laugh at the goofy barefoot old school skaters but the footage is really just great. It’s got tons of well shot footage of skating and surfing and even some hardcore 70’s BMX stuff. They made kids a lot tougher back then. But the reason to see this is for the killer footage of Russell Howell and his Tai chi freestyle skating. And Russell Howell doing anything really. Not to be missed.

  Mansfield 66/67 2017

  ★★½ Watched 09 Dec 2017

  An extremely padded documentary about the supposed relationship between Jane Mansfield and Anton LaVey. It’s funny and interesting but there’s barely enough here for a full film. The great interviews and the films sense of humor keep it interesting though.
