It is time, my friends, for another installment in the Wild and Woolly Film Series at the Clifton Center. This month is something special: the Clifton Center and Wild and Woolly Video have partnered up with Bicycling For Louisville to bring a double feature of fantastic films about... bicycles!

We have come a long way since Al Gore’s controversial documentary “An Inconvenient Truth.” Since then, the reality of Global Warming has become largely accepted (although, bafflingly, there are still a few naysayers) and “Green” has become chic. Recent years have seen a spat of environmentally-themed documentaries, from the Oscar-nominated “Gasland” (a fantastic film, by the way) to movies with local connections (see: “FLOW: For Love of Water” and “Carbon Nation”).

The western United States are home to some of the most beautiful national parks in the country. Tourists and outdoorsmen (and women) travel hundreds of miles for vacation and thrills. One of the most popular rock climbing destinations lies in this area. Nestled in the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the Yosemite Valley sits El Capitan, which extends to 3000 feet at its tallest point.

One of the monolith’s faces is known as The Nose. It was once thought impossible to scale, but is now one of the most popular spots to scale.

Movie lovers have a great resource in Wild and Woolly Video. While Blockbusters are closing all over the country, Wild and Woolly continues strong on Bardstown Road. Not only do they have an amazingly extensive collection of DVDs and Blu-Rays, but the staff is extremely knowledgeable about everything from the latest blockbuster releases to the most obscure and bizarre titles.
