Last night my girlfriend and I jumped on the ZX10 to see the one and only local theater showing of the movie: 199 Lives. The movie is really more like an extended version of Nitro Circus with more commentary and story line. It did a fantastic job of telling a story about a kid who has persevered through a lot, from injuries (100's) to night terrors. Melissa, who knew nothing about him, said that it "did a great job of telling her his story and [the movie] really showed a lot of emotion".

Even though I thought I knew a lot about PT already being a huge fan of the young phenom myself, I learned even more. Lots of the footage was stuff I had seen in the past, but I still say it was worth the $20 bucks for a night out. My only big complaint was some of the footage quality. I'm sure most people will see this on their home TV in which case it will look fantastic, but on a movie theater screen it was definetly pushing the limit of acceptabe for a full prive movie entry.
