"Pure Sweet Hell" (PSH) is a documentary
about the sport and community of American cyclocross
racing aims to expose the passion, pain, and
pleasure of this underground sport. Through creative
cinematography and eclectic, original music, this
film captures what makes cyclocross, its culture,
and community such a distinctive movement.
PSH features footage shot coast-to-coast over the
last three years and includes cyclocross luminaries
Barry Wicks, Gina Hall, Justin Robinson, Thomas
Frischknect, Rick Hunter, Mike Ferrentino, and
Pineapple Bob. The films aim, as co-producer Brian
Vernor explains, is to "educate those that don't
already know about the sport and ... reflect
American cyclocross racing as we see it; a
contradiction between pain and goodness which just
isn't for everyone."
Cyclocross is a bicycle racing event like no other.
It combines the elements of road cycling, cross
country running, and mountain biking. Usually raced
on grassy fields in the fall and winter, Cyclocross
is an obstacle course race on your bike. It began in
the 1940s and the first world championship was held
in Paris, France in 1950.

Webmaster Theatre Review |

A few weeks ago
my wife said she wanted to see this movie &
the best time to see it was at this new
theatre called the Moolah Theatre. A giant
question mark must have been easy to see in my
eyes. Where? "The Moolah Theatre she said" and
I just shrugged my shoulders has we got into
the car to drive down to Lindell. When we
arrived I thought this was a different place
for sure.
When we walked in the old building I was
surprised to see it was updated into a
showcase movie theatre like no other in St.
Louis. It was huge! The first update I noticed
was the lounge on the right. The seats on the
lower level were taken so we headed for the
balcony. We should have gotten there earlier
because everyone on the lower level had full
size leather sofas to on but our seats weren't
bad either. Wider and more leg room than any
other St. Louis movie theatre. |
