  1. Fonda and Hopper's now-classic film hit the old guard with the force of a rifle shot to the head. [Review of re-release]

    A finely observed film but insufficiently developed as a satire of middle America. [Review of re-release]

    Someday it was inevitable that a great film would come along, utilizing the motorcycle genre, the same way the great Westerns suddenly made everyone realize they were a legitimate American art form, Easy Rider is the picture.

    Portrays the hippie/drug culture wanderers with great depth and sympathy, but paints middle America with a broad nasty brush. Slow. Boring. Very little actually happens and when it does, it takes the easy way out. If this had been released 10 years later, it would have been relegated to the dustbin. And I wanted to like it. Expand
