Logging

Film:  The Dion Brothers aka The Gravy Train

A Stacy Keach film from 1974 - very difficult to find - wasn't on DVD, and I eventually got a copy from Cinephile which was recorded off some strange TV station a long time ago.  The film is a comedy heist movie about two hicks brothers who get screwed over by their crew and seek revenge and money.  A pretty joyous, 70s, B-movie romp, with an absolutely fantastic final scene involving a chase through a building while it is being destroyed by a wrecking ball.  Ahhh...I miss the grindhouse and the straight to video films from the past -- it seems like that kind of imagination is moving over to graphic novels or something.  Or maybe it's Jason Stathem.
