Frank Zappa
The Documentary centers around Zappa at home, and on Tour. The amazing thing is that Zappa allowed a guy with a camera to film the band at the Fillmore West w/ Flo and Eddie. There are times when the camera man seems to be on the stage. The performance is recorded from only one camera angle. There are only 4-5 songs presented here.....and Zappa referring to the Fillmore West as the ‘Psychedelic Dungeon’ is priceless………..It is a great piece of history.
Hutchy: Miracle Man
Ian Hutchinson made history at the 2010 Isle of Man TT by taking five wins throughout the week - he won all the major solo events, the first man to do so. Just months later it looked as if he might never walk again, let alone throw his leg over a bike to race around the Mountain Course. An horrific accident at Silverstone saw him plunged into a four year battle to save his leg and fight back to fitness. This is the story of how his grit and determination saw 'Hutchy' not only get back to something approaching full fitness but also score three decisive wins at TT 2015 - surely one of the greatest sporting comebacks of all time? The softly spoken Bingley, West Yorkshire native is often underestimated but this film shows that you write him off at your peril - nobody wants to win more than Hutchy and what greater motivation can you have than being told it is impossible?
