The Derby Stallion

Jan 12, 2008 19:22

So I just watched The Derby Stallion with Zac Effron.
I know it's just a movie and all but i was not impressed by the riding at all.
I wasn't expecting olmpic riders, and i'll give him credit for even riding most of it himself with just a couple lessons, but that didn't stop me from critiquing.
Dose anyone else do that when watching horse movies?
During the course of this movie I kept cringing
and screaming in my head...
"heels down!"
"no chicken arms"
"keep your hands down"
"don't flap around like a chicken"
and especially this one part when Zac or in the movie Patrick was jumping for the first time ( in the movie)
almost his whole foot was in the stirup and his heels were up and he was jumping*head desk*
once again I know I shouldnt expect big time riders
but I guess it's the rider in me?
Oh totally not horse related but when his friend Houston is dead on the couch when he finds him, his arm which was holding the picture of "julie" was moving and his chest was moving up and down
anyone else notice that
at first im like uhh guys he isn't dead...
but than im like ohh yeah he souposed to be just isn't really acting dead?
anyway my point of this post was
just to ask if anyone watched the derby stallion and your opinions on it !

movies & tv shows, bad_riding
