Sure, it's got the requisite drool-inducing aerials, vintage footage of Glen Plake in all his neon-and-mohawk splendor, and multiple-angle shots of avalanche-defying heli runs in Alaska and Chamonix. But the real highlights of Mark Obenhaus' big-mountain skiing doc Steep (in select theaters today) may well be the quiet moments—specifically, in the harrowing interviews with legendary skiers, at least one of whom (Doug Coombs, who died in a skiing accident) won't be making the premiere.
Also out: Walk Hard—look, we're just happy to see John C. Reilly gettin' paid—and the latest Johnny Depp-Tim Burton joint, Sweeney Todd.
