One Year Snowboard Movie Review




One Year is a snowboard movie that stands out from the crowd. Not only does it feature some amazing footage and tricks. It also features some great insight into the lives of the riders.
This snowboarding movie joins many of the other globe trotters visiting Argentina, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, California and Colorado. The scenes are captivating in their beauty and the shots are creative. If you enjoy a movie with a lot of back country footage, One Year delivers. With Dave Downing and Janna Weatherby doing some incredible lines. It also satisfies on the park front with Matt Hammer laying down some gnarly tricks. In the half pipe we see Olympic medallist Kelly Clark proving why she is one of the best female snowboarders in the world today.
 Everyone in the movie pushes their riding to the limit whilst also letting their fun sides and their enjoyment of the sport shine through. There is a fantastic section of two different Generations riding together featuring Andy Finch riding with Brock Crouch. We also get other great pairings of riders where we get to enjoy their different styles of riding, side by side.
The movie is also very honest in showing the thoughts and feelings of the riders who are very open in sharing their life stories. They are Christians with a passion for God as well as snowboarding. It is fascinating and emotional to see how God has helped and affected them in their lives.
One year has a great balance of insightfulness, snowboard action and fun. After a world tour and dvd sales the Nation Foundation movie company have decided to put the movie online for free. So that everyone can enjoy and gain something from it.
Here’s a link.

Doctor Who: The Marriage Of River Song: First Draft Parody Script



Opens with various shots of our world which show that time is in a mess. Hmm déjà vu… Still it does look good and we do get a funny interview with Charles Dickens.

Winston Churchill
What has happened to time? Explain it to me simply so that the audience and I can understand.

Doctor
Timey wimey.

Winston Churchill
No you can be more complex than that.

We get flashbacks of the Doctor collecting more information on the Silence.

Dalek
Hi.

Dalek
Just hi? No threats?

Doctor
I don’t want you to leave, we’ve been off screen too long. Why?

Doctor
You get defeated too easily we need to build the threat back up. Now shut up! I’ve come to yank information out of your smashed defeated body.

*****

Doctor
Dorium you’re alive!

Dorium
Yes and I’m the only head who could afford a comfortable box. Now you must be seeking the ultimate question?

Doctor
Be serious! We need that for the anti climatic end to the episode.

We go back to the Utah lake to watch the Doctor get killed.

Doctor
Can’t you walk out of the lake quicker we’ve already had enough flash back scenes in the pre credit sequence.

River Song
Patience sweetie I’m going to rewrite this fixed point in time.

Doctor
But that’s impossible... Probably… I do seem to come up with a lot of rules that get are later broken.

*****

Doctor
Did you have to stun me?

Amy
What can I say? I like an entrance! So what’s going on this time?

Doctor
All of history is happening at the same time. Well the parts of history which we can recycle props for.

Amy
All at once? Shouldn’t the earth be really overpopulated and deadly?

Doctor
Well…?

Amy
Shall we just go to the secret plot advancing base?

Doctor
Yes please.

They go to area 52 which is inside a pyramid. This is a cool idea, it’s a shame the set isn’t as grand as the special effects.

Captain Williams
The Silence are as quite as usual Marm.

Amy
Good, good. Carry on Brad Pitt. I mean Rory Williams.

River Song
Hello Doctor, do you want to do the usual flirting.

Doctor
Sure for once we have plenty of time.

Madame Kovarian
Oh no not the flirting. I should have raised River better than this. Kill me please!

Amy
Ok.


Madame Kovarian
No I wasn’t being serious besides that’s too dark for your character. Ahh!

Cut to the top of the pyramid where a distress signal is being sent out.

Doctor
But whose going to help me. I know the majority of people like me but who?

River Song
You must  not die without knowing you are loved.

Doctor
Thanks for risking the world to tell me that. Now before I die we’ll bind hands with my bow tie. Now Rory do you consent?

Rory
How can I properly consent if I don’t know what it is?

Doctor
Just do it! You too Amy.

Amy
Ok.

Doctor
That’s it River we are now husband and wife.

River
That’s my wedding? But I didn’t get a fancy dress, beautiful flowers, admiration from friends, a big party….

Doctor
No but it sure is a lot cheaper this way.

They kiss and the doctor “dies” at last.

Amy
*Sob* The Doctor’s dead.

River Song
Oh mummy don’t be silly. There’s plenty of life in the Dr Who series yet. I just killed a Teselecta version of him. Now let’s all have some family time at last.

Audience
That’s a bit of a cheat and we’re not talking about cheating time… We can’t wait to the Christmas special. Just, no more disappointments please

Dorium
So you survived. But the first question. The most important question in the Universe still remains. Doctor Who? Dr Who?

Audience
You can not be serious!
